such as they should have also mark the start of a vaccine rollout for hundreds of millions of adults in india but that's been delayed in many states because there's just not enough vaccines to go around. it's their best hope of surviving the pandemic the queues are long and surprise are short only about one in 10 of india's vast population has even had a 1st jab and one by 16 centers are closed this weekend because of the shortage so those who do get a shot know how fortunate they are. i feel really glad because i'm in a profession where i have 2 people travelling i am surrounded by people who don't read mark why my level already you know with all the care they have abilities and the. vaccine shortages is just one of the many problems india is facing people are desperately searching for

oxygen and medicine emergency rooms are closing their doors to new patients while crematoriums are running out of food for the dead for those who have lost a loved one to cope at 19 there is no dignified way to say goodbye many blame the government. i don't think you would have been the big 3 year old judiciary of the nation for somebody did what she did you don't feel and want to do that to do the job you. did god i didn't do you don't got it. was related everything. from. an international relief effort is underway to help india fight its devastating 2nd wave. and for more on this i'm not joined by the jais while in asia just horrible awful things that we're saying that tell us how vaccination campaign is going how how can

a major vaccine produces so how can it be that it struggling to provide its own citizens with facts and then i had to expose that in you have. ordering these vaccines one time something like the jaw just out january well i don't need your back to the settlements. which the use of the manufacture of the vaccine said that they were not given enough funds that they were fully behind the us was blocking dromard you know that was crucial to the supply and. not what does happen please that has changed us a lot of ways as well as ease with this we have. the bastardy in time for this expansion of the trade you must also go into government insists that it does have are not those as there are concerns that into problems not advantaged it cannot be solved and yet those getting the vaccine right now are still the lucky few how's it

looking for everyone else when you are in delhi. right now i'm at the only instance bears should have gotten the word out how to find which hospital. this is manufactured i have to stand. by and watch them this bad higher price don't insist on. mass but some of these not just not available only those who can be right now are getting access to the vaccine study as it concerns about inequality many women. should have the. right to correspondent nations as well thanks so much. now may the 1st international workers day demonstrations have been taking place all of a year and in some cities demonstrations were directed against anti coronavirus mattias but in the french capital paris police clashed with protesters demanding stronger protections. back on the boulevards the

french left in all its shades of red turned out in its thousands in paris. the kind that may cost protesters off the street last my. on the margins of the much fire and fury in broken glass clashes and has confronted the place who used tea gas sending the crowd scattering. he guessed to in belgium bikie midges can the save this was no workers' rights gathering instead it was a protest party organizers by the young. and those who feel like they're losing their youth to the lockdowns police said the party violated covered rules and broke up the event to protest by people angry are being called to see the time is a sign of just how much the diet work is this chinese. in

istanbul turkey entering a lockdown life today advanced and police detained hundreds of people. opposition lawyers accused them of specifically targeting journalists attempting to film police during the rally. a little weak in the city. but the side from all the protests there's another side to migrate to in many countries to work his day has been declared a holiday in china many travel this year the great wall was jam packed with sightsee is enjoying a break from all that. and there have also been clashes that a may 1st process here in berlin the demonstration drew several 1000 people it did begin peacefully but it escalated after nightfall protesters set trash cans and pallets alight police were sent in and the confrontations began local media is

reporting injuries some 5000 people were deployed in berlin this year the city has often seen heavy clashes on may 1st and officials say the pandemic has increased tensions. and. delhi is there at that rally at that rally in berlin julia tell us how are things looking than now. so at the moment the demonstration has come to an end about an hour ago the organizers the clear it's over after clashes broke out and now the police is trying to clear out the situation here we saw the demonstration starting peacefully in the beginning but only after half an hour or an hour from it starts we saw clashes breaking out and we saw demonstrators setting fire to trash bins and 2 wooden pallets. stones and bottles being thrown at police we've heard some police

have been injured and we've seen people being arrested and taken away by the police now there have obviously been related restrictions in place today including a 10 pm curfew did people respect them by and large. so yeah at the beginning of the demonstration most people we saw were merry wearing masks and trying to adhere to social distancing it became tricky because it was not a lot of space for a lot of people and social distancing became a little tricky and at one point to the police decided that one part of the demonstration wasn't during those measures that was the last part of the demonstration the groups taking part there and the police declared that they were interviewing to social distancing they weren't wearing masks and so they decided to stop that part of the demonstration that is what then escalated in clashes both there and at the start of the demonstration the part that stopped and waited for the rest of the people to join but that never happened because the clashes and

arrest erupted and what have police expecting for the rest of the night. so the nighttime curfew has just started here in berlin and police are now clearing out the area there so a lot of people on the streets we've seen police just a few minutes before our live here cleaning out this area trying to push people to to go home police. they're going to try to make people on the street respect the curfew so we'll have to see whether they manage to do it as there are still people a lot of people on the streets here all right ali at a 1st of may rally here in berlin thanks so much. and to kenya now way reporter has been injured after police fired tear gas canisters at a crowd of demonstrations in nairobi a moment that was captured on camera to our east africa correspondent was covering a protest over coronavirus restrictions job losses and police brutality with her

camera man when she was hit twice mario was interviewing the demonstrators at the time director general the local journalist organization for the region and amnesty international have condemned the incident and amnesty is calling on kenyan authorities to investigate. and we spoke to morrow she described the moment that she was hit by the canister. well i come our colleague john to and i we were together at a little square in front of national archives here in nairobi which is in the central business district it's a popular gathering people whether sitting you know just enjoying the freedom day and also also watching as activists were gathering 40 activists more or less. came there to protest very peacefully also always reminding themselves to abide to the rules and you know maintain social distance they were demanding you know

improvements or support by the government especially for low income populations in nairobi especially affected by the cold that 19 measures and the pandemic and the lockdown especially so we were there we filmed that and we saw we heard shots and we thought ok what's going on we saw the tear gas and then we saw also the police and so we also felt of course that really you know inhaled it was all you know it affected our eyes and our noses but then. we dispersed and then later on when i thought it's a bit calm you know we just tried to get out of the way. we interviewed a lady who was also a protester and it was just us interviewing her and nobody else and then of course always people gather when you do interviews with a camera so then some people came up and we continued the interview but then we heard another shot and there was police right behind the lady and they were

pointing at us and we just wanted to go you know get out of the way and we tried that but then i the next thing that i heard or felt was another shot and then i just felt like this burning pain in my thigh and i saw that this kind of stress this to guys that they you know launched from a real weapon so it's not just you know they don't throw it it's really a weapon so it's really strong and the impact was really strong so yeah that's what i that's what i experience today. that was. in nairobi now in football news berisha dortmund all through to the german cup final off to thrashing 2nd division side hole stein kiel teenage attack gere raina schooled the 1st 2 goals as don't know to a 5 nil victory in the semifinal they will face all the lights in the final in. and in formula one most eighty's drivers valtteri bottas and lewis hamilton dominated qualifying ahead of the portuguese crown pretty hamilton was hoping to

how much work can really do that. we still have time to our ongoing. subset. of subscribers and more news like this. virtual reality could revolutionize the sex industry what's already possible what is being developed and how might these changes affect the digital technology and 6 i want topic on shift today. let's be honest despite my personal influence the awesome. technology in general i have not taken. very seriously for me it is a nice market for

a very special clientele in japan however the concept has really taken off even special stores here where you can have completely new experiences with. is there perhaps more to the idea after all i took a look at one of these stores in tokyo. asking about in tokyo the district is the heart of my. computer games alex rawlings and the pornography the company soft on demand alone operates 70 special be stores in japan it's one of the largest producers of pornography films in asia. here you can see employees faces to keep things discreet and i asked to book a one hour of the hour package it costs almost 1000 yen about 8 year old all dodged up in the city's path and used like this. can be rented for up to 3 hours there are 3 different options reclining chair reclining mat. i chose reclining match.

my booth was on the 2nd floor and i'm one meter 93 tall and felt pretty claustrophobic on the way up. in the booth i found the our glasses handkerchiefs and telephone slippers and countless options it was a little bit confusing to be honest. like to be a lot of people either because 50 percent of people coming here so they have a special service well that i would call for help. the stop help me set up and stop of ya feel the films i shot from a subjective camera angle so depending on the where the u.s. seated on lying down you will be watching a different film with a corresponding setting. you can see your own virtual body so this video here wouldn't have made much sense if i had been sitting upright.

the sex industry would not be going to those technological length if we didn't expect to profit illegal porn streaming and private providers have resulted in considerable losses in recent years gamble only time will tell whether we are one really does offer a way out of the crisis more and more videos are becoming available online but what's the attraction. mortal in tokyo is one of japan's leading produces. when you watch a p.r. on a t.v. or a p.c. screen it's usually from a bird's eye view of real v.a.r. emphasizes the experience much more. the customer feels as if he could really touch the girl that he has real eye contact or that he can feel her breath next to his ear. so the media it's a completely different view or perspective to a standard movie that. i found the unusual perspective unsettling.

impression it's really very detailed a little bit weird to watch to be honest because the woman in that clip i just saw she appears. this distortion is linked to the distance between which is different for every person the images are set to a stand that this. doesn't correspond to the eyes of the person wearing the glasses the proportions will be distorted. the filmmakers of soft on the amount produced every obviously also in this studio everything here is white but this ensures that the background isn't distracting and allows the producers to better direct the viewer's focus. make. up of what goes on all of it we had to know what my mother the strength of b.r. is that it enables different forms of interaction what it will take indic it allows you to get to a place you couldn't get to before. so into action is the magic word this

combination of technology and emotion is something that can be found most of all in japan according to not alina hi the british author and podcast the focus is on ethical issues related to digital technologies. amazing innovation and. that you think. a lot of people in a lot of places are very expressive of that affection for technology and you may end up going in a great relationship with ok i kind of love my smartphone too but that's as far as it goes some of the optic ations already enable you to build your dream does that really create deeper connections. being able to configure a virtual partner like in a computer game and having custom made avatars thanks to computer generated images this is a future v.a.r. producer moto finds promising. to do and will be possible to design

individual body parts such as breasts waist or hips to create your ideal woman with the help of c.g.i. you can you have a. sex therapist dr michelle paid to refine this technology problematic he says even normal porn films already create unrealistic expectations in his patients. and now we're reaching a new level here the user can actually select his or her ideal partners body. but the consequence of this would be that any real life partner would end up being compared to this fantasy product. how does it constitute missing lost. not only not high also worries about consequences this comparison can handle she researches ethical issues surrounding digital technologies. well. being human being and believes about it's actually quite a complex issue if you end up real beings humans trying to emulate. themselves

in order to look more like that's the reality count models real people trying to look more like virtual of a tot's sounds pretty dubious to me but they are already reports about people having plastic surgery for that reason cutting edge technology and the sex industry seem a good match for not a few has long been a driver for technological advancements but a passion boss the author of the erotic engine is certain that without tomography the internet would not have grown so quickly not convinced well yes some examples online payment systems without paper on size the payment would be a simple and secure as it is today online streaming without with streaming software developed for pornography sites media platforms would struggle to deliver news clips online advertising without advertising from sec size many free internet services wouldn't exist and now we are even in the development of sex toys

experiments are being made with virtual reality and for once the products on offer are not mainly targeted at map we are. just exclamation of surprise is from an ad by dutch sex toy manufacturer the company offers a vibrator that can be linked to v.r. glasses by an apple special vibrations which correspond to what's happening in the film or transmitted by the gadget. of course there are similar products for men to for example virtual made a device for men that works with. we are and real time sensors and promises a realistic erotic experience. such devices can also be linked using apps and controlled remotely by someone's partner possibility that some couples find appealing. but i think that nothing that enables us to relate more fully with someone else especially when so many of us are

at distance well for instance in a pandemic if you look in different cities and it's going. to express your desire for the other partner and a different way and so i think it is designed to create a connection in a way that people want and that's one. sense of the cover of night and pandemic began digital adult entertainment services have become more popular well direct physical contact is rather difficult at the moment especially for singles the us paul website caught up as reza says up to 25 percent more hits on that site this year and if people really miss physical contact that's why research is currently being conducted about how to make virtual experiences even better one promising possibility special suits that simulate touch and warmth. and technology when. your assets in could be really powerful because it gives us physical cues it's a physical sensation that he trusts to digital touch and that's going to be much

more pleasant for a much more real and physical. and just having some. visual or auditory. soft on demand in tokyo is currently working on integrating additional sensations the goal is to eventually include all of our senses in the v.o.r. experience. at the moment we're testing new technologies to make the v.o.r. experience even better this a lot easier for example we're working on a technology for smells like a woman's mouth to protect. well feel taste prospects seem busy already offers the possibility to slip into other characters or other bodies or for example to playfully change sex we are not and that's. the sense of anonymity can give us a great feeling of freedom to disclose and to be honest and. able to express things

that we might otherwise find difficult so i think given the reality office that possibility it is very possible that we can be more insular not that technology really help us to better understand our own sexuality and so to gain a better understanding of others in real relationships it's an interesting thought if you like. i might get maybe one day all of us will not only want to have sex in our bedrooms but in the dream worlds that are most exciting for us on the constant that. that would be one way i could see virtual reality providing exciting possibilities for users in everyday life. not just as pornography but for couples as well documented targets young star income funds are. to be our sector is expecting the market to grow to 13 and a half 1000000000 euros by 2022 and this includes sex products after all many people enjoy exploring new options we are very adaptive as humans and we can learn

to find those things as exciting and erotic and normal given the amount of time to get used to it so yeah i think a lot of us will end up expanding our sexual records income that's that remains to be seen we're quite a way are really natural looking and i and i think a certain point we might end up singing but in the other direction and once in real physical human contact with human beings what do you think what do you try adrià sex do with technology and feelings go together share your opinions with us on facebook on d w dot com if you want to know more about virtual reality. check out our you tube channel and that's it for me thank you your next time.

entered the conflict zone with syria challenged last year germany was seen as a role model in fighting the coronavirus pandemic now a 3rd wave is hitting the country hard and nationalist party is splitting ahead of september elections as germany prepares to move on from merkel even what's safe just to leave her party and her country my guest this week is young and hot spokesperson for the conservative parliamentary group costs. in 1970 stating. the glass windows and that's how the line monastery. turned wax blank i had written to. rescind my incentives by moving them in city. naisi. new lights in the smallest.

30 minutes on t.w. . what secrets lie behind this wall. discover new adventures in the 360 degree. and explore fascinating world heritage sites with. t.w. world heritage 360 getting apps now. i see you chance for a message to become much more popular in the cafe face but the bottom line is that the base did not support last i don't feel if the fake it's. imation are you concerned that germany is falling also into a trap when it comes to china we have to take a more topical way the contrasts couldn't be more stark last year germany was seen as a role model in fighting the coronavirus pandemic now a 3rd wave is heading the country hard and merkel's party is slipping ahead of september elections which will decide her successor after 16 years in power my

guess this week is you're going to hart c.d.u. member of the german bundestag and spokesperson for the conservatives parliamentary group as germany prepares to move on from merkel even what state does she leave her party and her country. here going hard to welcome to conflicts around 10016 years of angela merkel and these days the c.d.u. has lost ground in the polls there's been a bitter fight for her succession in the party and corona virus is hitting the country hard issue leaving behind a mass i think we had to have had a tough debate on the question who might success that might be success are from the union as you do see as we union from for a chance to ship in germany. through 2 weeks ago we were good form to both that both chairman of the 2 parties see the seas will mark

a pseudo from season and i mean i said from city hall both want to run as katie did for chancellor chip and it took 9 days of discussion in different form it's a party and then the decision came out that i mean i said to chair of c.v. and prime minister if not from this very day i would be candidate i think 9 days is not too much to take such a important decision and looking to the code in a situation we have heard learnt yesterday from the meeting from the private this was a chance to. make huge steps forward concerning that situation we are now about 25 percent. of course your dish and i want to talk about in particular that that battle for succession but 1st let me ask you about a the state of unity at the at the very top though because in the past month merkel very publicly criticized her successor and the party arm in washington you've just mentioned over lock down policies does merkel not want the c.d.u. to be in the chancellor a 4th term. we don't have the feeling that the chance of

a boston voice in that fight between the 2 party chairmen i think she was standing in neutral in that position there is somebody back i think we in what i just heard about meant you know what i'm talking about forgive me mr hart is is that she publicly on a highly viewed television program singled out that star failing to activate an emergency brake in the face of rising cases he also criticized her lockdown measures as treating citizens like under age children so with rhetoric like that flying back and forth between the top politicians tell us this public display of disagreement when the cd is future claim for the chancellorship is shaky does she not want the c.d.u. to retain power and i don't i don't see that and that way and we have this to gratian germany that we have 16 state governments and if it wouldn't stand it was

different kind of combinations of government the the all are led by coalitions and i mean i said it's heading a coalition including the liberal party which is opposite to the federal government it's a federal level and it's a huge challenge to balance the different minds of moods and the different parties in the coalitions and the states and the chance knows about the difficulty especially i mean that's it has was the liberals which are much more in favor of early opening business and restaurants for example. stating i like to look down and this debate was handed. i mean that's it and i think the proper way and look at to that point you reached a. state having a one person majority of the parliament and running a successful government for a over 4 years now this is a impressive result but could there not be nor more unity that is the question you mentioned earlier that the cracks that have been openly displayed in your conservative party union the process to pick the candidate for

a chance of described as chaotic public very messy 5 months before you go to a national election don't conservatives be need to be more united to win i think we are on the night of no behind i mean i said i expect that those who oppose a christian social union in bavaria and its leader marcus it don't stay close behind the candidate on the left that we have had this debate in germany also and of the seventy's as you remember 3 years later the chairman o.c.d. with him of course tensed up by getting 48.8 percent of the elections and $33.00 or 4 but now it's. just amazing of the people concerning the result of selection and what will be the real result in 5 months there will be huge huge gap between and i hope that you didn't see that and see as who increase they are. there they have

a pulse and also the result at the end and this also to to the fact that. most of the people expect that see if you could do it better than others have your pens the right hope though on the right candidate because 72 percent of your conservatives disagreeing that you didn't pick the right candidate they say that the c.s.u. candidate marcus auteur not the c. to use on lash it was better suited to become chancellor so why didn't you take the most favored candidate i can't tell you my experience it was an. he's playing 17. 1000 troops from the social democrats far off was falling at the head of i'm going to market as chancellor candidate of the city with ease with time for 2017 elections and nobody believed that it was easy you can do it again and looking to results as a social democrats with multi choice came out very poor office after the last

elections because momentum few on the popularity of politicians it's nothing that we can trust on concerning the outcome of elections and i bless it by himself he was a fall behind acting prime minister of nelson disfigure in may 2017 and he won the election but the bottom line is that the base did not support lash at the base of your party your grass roots in your party are said to be frustrated and fact if you're not even listening to them how should people think that you listen to the country don't don't don't believe what you can read in flux form. and others and my estimation especially from the debate and of proof 2 weeks ago we discussed it was up to 7 people and. questions to the candidates in the group meeting and there was no use for the program to round it that mark was sort of us was spinning that and i am sure that if we would have voted in that time

that would be a majority for i mean i said don't believe the fake information that to sponsored by those who wants to have got that can stop it as a fight and i think it is important i suppose i started by the sword and by by by the 59 percent that said that on milosz it would would not be a good candidate according to the dutch law on trend for example i mean there's many polls that that go in that direction but i just like so much how many of those people can judge on it how many people know about i mean that's it my considered as much more popular than mine but less if it's a. we ended germany as prime minister of bulgaria and i see you chance for a midnight shift to become much more popular and on the campaign trail and he will at the end of the day it with the elections but just briefly i mean the city has already lost a key bellwether of a national elections in the past months and you were the same might happen on the national level i don't i don't think so i would like not like to have it i think we

have to have the heart to do hard work but you can't do that what does the results in the last elections were i mean luck had reached the 6.7 percent plus in the last elections it was not 17 and michael save the pseudo last 10.4.5 per cent of area forces it is christian social union therefore i cannot i cannot see that with marcus it up beyond a better track concerning success than it was i mean i should bottom line there is a sentiment among many in the country that they're tired they're tired of the coronavirus pandemic in fact 79 percent also they say that they are not satisfied with the way that the government has managed the pandemic doctors are warning that i.c.u. beds are filling up it's quite a contrast because last year germany was being held up as a role model for fighting the pandemic did merkel get too comfortable i think we have some point spread germany as a new leader he wrote if you look for example to the rate of people that died was

corona germany and the top group. was and significantly lower numbers and several different other states especially sweden are also u.k. also but we have a problem concerning the vaccine the challenge for european union is that we are able to develop excellent vaccine like buy and take work seen from from germany but that we are not able to put to use it in high quantities not able to produce it and i quantities because we have kept its use for production of how much work you can throw darts. no it's not as for example in india or china or even in us and we have to to face the challenge in europe that we have to come closer to a point where we always were able to produce such things in our borders we'll get to the vaccine that's certainly something that we're going to talk about but let's talk about the other tools that you've had at your disposal because there's been a lot of confusion about the government's measures the delay of the rapid test

rollout for example ahead of the easter holiday merkel she tried to institute a hard lockdown then rolled it back after harsh criticism then took the extraordinary step of issuing a formal apology has merkel lost her way. i think some of us and exuding need if we would appreciate to have something like a hockey lockdown for the 2 easter weeks the week before and off they used to because we think that schools were closed in that time to see all the days that also business stone around easton and their food would we good chance to reduce the fiction rate in germany by doing a hard to lock down for 2 weeks but this was not possible to agree on between 16 different and had so for the goodness and in germany and due to the fact that the health policy is mainly driven by the states the federal government cannot push through is actually a measure looking back to what we have packed in the last weeks i think of the

number of people that expect that it's up to par to knock down over at least on would be better than that but we did and it's increasing but that's help us not saying and now we have this regulation that about hundreds. we have to to shut down from 10 in the evening up to 5 in the morning i hope that we'll have to reduce the number of convictions the majority of people say though that the federal government has simply repeatedly promised more than it could deliver on the measures that it has had at its disposal and you know you're talking about these these these lockdowns now isn't it interesting seeing countries for example i think u.k. and the u.s. slowly opening back up on germany is still talking about harsher lockdowns highly controversial night curfews dramatic changes to the law for a so-called emergency brake i think looking to those other countries and you mentioned you mentioned to u.k. the people in those countries have to face much harder and much much harsher

transcription than we had effective germany germany was relatively smooth way to to enforce fictions to to to civil rights and that in the face of good fighting corona and chance that told. looking to london where as it was a genuine february if you haven't the picture rate above 800 you have notes to put measures by the state because people are afraid to go in street they are afraid to go to work they have prayed to go for shopping because they see the long cross off of medical cars standing at the hospitals and no place for 444 people that. need help in the hospitals and this is what we know that germany because we have a lot. to ration even the situation in the hospitals was always under control and therefore it's might be a little bit more difficult to convince people in germany that we are not on the secure site but that we have to be take attention on what happens and that we also

have to take my chances if you chant the debate is ongoing and the debate is maybe depart in germany than in other countries right because we have this federal system between the states and the federal level during the race to vaccinate the population as you've mentioned germany ranks 15 however when it comes to e.u. countries that have administered at least one vaccine doses among adults adults according to the european centers for disease control is this really a number that a country like germany should be proud of is this the best that the government could it. we decided to take the european common european union solution because we say we have not been invited if we wait seen all germans but people in countries around germany and the cliques united and i think this might come back to us as a boomerang if we don't reach a full vaccination of all people that are close to us was almost restricted to the instructions on the borders which close economic and civil ties and therefore

decision was to follow the european union program that it's not just about following the european union hologram it's about being you know average at best within the e.u. and the way that you have been executing that program and i just like to bring and you know one of your fellow lawmakers alexander gaslamp starts from the f.t.p. who says germans they long believed that they lived in a well governed country one that was better run than most other states in europe both assumptions have turned out to be wrong does he have a point. i do not approve his alexandre coughing up stuff which has put it in for appreciated put it isn't from my point of view of it but of the opposite and he has to his duty is to to put its figures and questions or in critical points we have but look at to the can paint running now 1st i would like to mention that the german government never promised to have another situation into the vaccine. that

exceeded the situation that it is all proposals of the government about quantities of oxidation and the fall from of rocks in nation for food we are now up to 25 percent of the population and day by day we could get more than close to one percent in addition to that though that we can be sure that to 100000000000 doses of vaccine for 80000000 inhabitants in germany might reach a situation that every german can be very good at and. adult german can be vaccinated up to the end of july 1st but sedated and send most of them all to a 2nd fix the nation and then in july or august ok so all the others might get in sex and so much promise as will see if you can deliver this is a huge success natalie yeah yeah ultimately though i mean you talked about this common e.u. approach to vaccine picture meant they thought that that germany is very strongly supportive however you're now in bilateral talks with russia to secure doses of the

sputnik the vaccine is letterman put in really your best hope to solve this vaccine fiasco issue and there are many i would i would use. sputnik maxine in case that the european medical agency in my might confirm that this is a good vaccine to the pity with sputnik is that there are not so many quantities of their product that you would not be able to sell it to other countries look into that but haven't for example in the balkan states for some of the states be a for example they have information that they can get some vaccine from sputnik as have you learned in the last days they didn't have any work seed and now and they are not able to deliver to the people because the quantity is not they have x. if they've got seen might be will but. also the protection paper says capacities in russia and other states. it's a moment too weak to produce

a point that these people want to deliver and even more controversially and i'd like to move to international relations now merkel continues to back putin's north stream to pipeline despite fresh calls from the european parliament the u.s. and beyond to pull the project over security concerns why is merkel still holding on to north stream 2 when it's a stain on alliances and it puts fresh cash into putin's pockets concerning the no spin to project meeting germans to have met never had the chance to corvids partners in europe and us. that this pro to protect is not timing security interests of europe because one of our former chancellor scatcherd us especially involved in that project and so therefore i can understand that nobody trusts in a neutral and neutral assessment of that by the german government about i can tell you stopping that project now would beat a favor for those who invest and protect my convention at the convent conviction

that said this project is economically a failure i think she would too let me change the project and mr what do you mean stopping the project because i mean there's supports for example within your party reports excuse me of growing support for a moratorium in your party so 1st of all is that is that what you're talking about and if that is the case is that the best hope to kick the can down the road so essentially someone else an ally the next chancellor can take decisive leadership on whether or not this pipeline will ever operate it would be possible by german law maybe it might be really possible by german law to stop that project but then you have to compensate all those who are invested in that project because you can stop that project but it's on a legal. it's built on and you could base and therefore you have to compensate those who invested in that and my my belief is that that this protest is economically a failure because we don't need to that pipe to get enough yes for germany or

europe and therefore all all those companies that invested in that project have to face the challenge that they that project potentially this project is economically economically a failure and in case that the german taxpayer is company pump compensating that for those companies they would laugh about it and therefore i think we should concentrate on the question what about energy security in europe german government should present to our partners in europe and us a broken how to be talk about security of energy in europe and with that although it's a question of russian gas can be on some. but but but but mr hart you know russian aggression has been on the rise for years of course so the question is how did you get to this point and is it time to admit that merkel finds herself in a bit of a trap over north stream the project as you've highlighted more than 95 percent complete pulling political backing could be costly. did merkel miss her window to take decisive action is she in a trap of her own making we took russian gas also in the seventy's that said times

over the union gas in the seventy's been bieber and the cold war and believe me learnt that i could not make relations for us or to soviet union at that time no to russia not not to risk for security but also a chance to make. it dependency of russia on european politics and maybe to influence what happened in this country in the long term situation i i think that we have to discuss about independence of few people union energy security that's the proposal of us we should take more gas we'll ukraine instead of north cream this doesn't change the fact that it's russian gas that is that this is gus that comes that cut that comes from states with companies and russia and the independence of one source like russia for gas it would not be changed if we decide to not take it that it was grossly too but with the ukraine there few of the

arguments of the other side also very weak let's let's switch gears just briefly and talk and talk about china are you concerned that germany is falling also into a trap when it comes to china because after years of fostering business ties your main business association is now saying that the west strategy for opening up china has failed they call it a wake up call is it a call that germany is potentially answering too late we have a german in the pacific strategy and we have a 10 sheet of the european commission 2 and a half years ago or the more time. strategy on china i think we should match u.s. and north america very close in the question how to be face even creasing. because it's news of china by mixing political and economic interests to gether and i know as a german that we as germans have to to lose a lot because some of our industry is very much depending on that and bed profits

they they do in china but look into that watch in china is ongoing increasing pressure on people on human rights and also increasing pressure on taiwan we have to we have to take a more tough way including the question of our economic relations how talk to you think that strategy though appears to the chinese when you have human rights concerns overshadowing this investment deal for example with china that germany pushed through in december and it under its presidency you couldn't even get any meaningful commitments on human rights they were just they promises on labor rights including forced labor did it send the wrong message to paging european union did that works for example us to several years before i think i was strategy is and should be the common strategy of the best and vote to bring china back to following international regulation and international law and having a set of regulations fair chance agreeing on and

b have the chance potentially also the chance to judge on whether they follow on not expect them to have such a wide west situation as it to spur tension now but i think only a common approach between u.s. and european union is helpful on that field and therefore i expect that european union and also the acting and the new german government have test to. close their roles together with north america because our leverage is much there. if we work together instead of doing it on a on a single signal by that or a way between european union and china let's go back to the elections 16 years of angle americal she came to power with a new cd you after helmut kohl do you think that the end of her era will also lead to a government where the c.d.u. need some time in the opposition to rejuvenate i mean we've talked about divisions in the party the pandemic and assertive russia and china are you heading for the

opposition i think that the government needs to see as it will and i hope that this if it was easy it would also present the next chance because of the fact that we might come out as the biggest party out of that elections and looking to that but i'm going i'm actually reached i think the economic. plans of hope for office are it's perfect that we never saw such a. continuous and long. boost in the economy in the last decades and we also see in several other fields of germany came forward we have some maybe they have some some at the legs of where we have work to do this is for meeting foreign security issues closer relation between us and informative for security issues even in china but as he and russia party you're going to we have to leave it there thank you for joining us on conflicts on that right.
