a vaccinated as yet by the way only with a vaccine approved by the yury medicines agency or the w h o o so only those vaccines count and if children accompany them they should have a negative p.c.r. test ok and if approved would this be binding or would member states still be able to make up their own rules no because this isn't the 3 of health politics it is a nation states decision in the e.u. so it's not binding and that is why for instance greece has already opened these categories for people who want to visit who have been vaccinated twice as of already for since a couple of weeks can enter greece for non-essential travel particularly tourists but the idea is to facilitate tourism because tourism is essential for the e.u. and the idea is to make it grand scheme. which is then political to all human her states. this proposal would come with an emergency brake mechanism just explained to us well the idea here is that the list of numbers of countries

who can send people for non-essential travel so tourists across quickly the fear always is of course that if a certain variants of the virus like for instance we have seen in india then come up that quickly all of the you could say we we block entries from that country and will be the agency for disease control in europe an e.u. agency whose will send out a signal in the future but then again it's up to each an individual member states to take up that recommendation or to all keep receiving tourists from that particular country and it is likely to be in place before this summer's holiday season. that's exactly what the you commission hopes of course the vaccination rollout has been really picking up pace and it will be a game changer is what they say you're in brussels and if that remains true then things stand good the rest of us are discussing it this week end of may the member

states will decide on it so if things go well this is good news for europe's tourism sector i kind of matter's impressed so thank you so much well germany is also trying to ease its restrictions but only for people who've been fully vaccinated against coronavirus those people will be exempt from some of the toughest a pandemic measures including night time curfews and limits on personal contact the bundestag is expected to approve the new rules this week but with only about 8 percent of germans a fully vaccinated plan is controversial. for months germans have been told to stay at home public life has been heavily restricted it's been a long and bleak winter but now with the vaccination campaign picking up speed here a debate about lifting restrictions for those who are fully vaccinated has begun. since easter we've been saying based on expert recommendations that people who have

been vaccinated will have equal rights to those who've just tested negative. but i think. in some german states vaccinated people can already access services that are open to those with a negative test at the moment with the country in lockdown that means they can go to the hairdressers and a few other shops but further exceptions are also being discussed being able to meet more people in private for example and an exemption from night time curfews in many areas giving some people their rights back before restrictions are lifted for everyone is hugely controversial and intensive care nurse spoke for many when he confronted the health minister. i don't understand how we can already be promising privileges when we haven't been able to offer everyone a vaccine yet we should only be talking about privileges once every single german has been given the opportunity to get vaccinated. but others disagree they say

people who have been fully vaccinated don't pose a significant risk of infection so they should be able to live their lives without restrictions so i think it's a question of constitutional necessity to basically people's. freedoms to be taken back because otherwise there is the disproportionate. however this debate may be short lived if germany's vaccination campaign continues at its current rapid pace it may not take long before a lot of the population has been vaccinated and can live a much for your life. while the bundle remains germany's october 1st has been cancelled for a 2nd year this is the world's largest and most popular festival celebrating beer and bavarian culture regularly tracks around $6000000.00 visitors from around the world to the bavarian capital munich the state's premier marcus service the event

had to be counsel because the financial commitments and risks were too large given the uncertainty about when the pandemic might. go to india where hospitals are appealing for emergency oxygen supplies shortages worsened broadcaster and the t.v. reported 28 people died overnight because of a lack of oxygen the shortage is exacerbating the country's deadly 2nd wave of infection now approaching 20000000 cases the government is facing intense criticism over its handling of the pandemic. india is struggling as the pandemic 2nd wave crashes over the country death and desperation are spreading so too is the fear that the government can stem the surge and end india's suffering. when the cases started rising up by the plan. but turns out that if you put in the

1st week understood that the governments have no idea they're not prepared for anything they don't have it up until later than one hospital forget about all the whatever you need for the entire city or the entire nation in just one example a dozen covert 1000 patients died this weekend when a hospital in the capital ran out of oxygen supply for nearly an hour and a half of one of the means to go free. is the oxygen they need support because these are to be so across the city. the increased demand in the hospital a court in delhi says it will start punishing government officials for failing to deliver lifesaving items but it's impossible to give what is not yet available the international community spent the weekend sending supplies grieving relatives and scientists blame elected officials for the catastrophic situation saying they ignored medical advice and warnings about variance. prime minister narendra

modi faces intense criticism over his handling of the pandemic and his decision to allow state elections to go ahead amid this urgent cases despite heavy campaigning his party failed to win the key state of west bengal or to make significant gains in other state assemblies. straits to the indian capital badly rejoined d.w. sad delhi bureau chief i'm retired chamber welcome on rita what response is the indian government given to these accusations from scientific advisors when the indian government if you ask them but it ignores scientific evidence they set you say no they didn't they in fact set up a consortium of scientists back in december to specifically investigate if that were any human deadly variants of the virus which could pose a threat to national health now these scientists say that the give their findings

to the government in march 5 of them have now come out and do enjoy just that nothing was done and when asked why it was nothing done one time to said you know it's our job to give the evidence honestly making is the responsibility of the government so basically implying that perhaps hard science didn't drive letter c. making as much as it should have in this pandemic over this last week barely a day has gone by without there being talk of record breaking numbers of infections in india how concerned are people about very government's handling of the pandemic . really people are really concerned in the last 2 weeks the situation hasn't improved hospitals are still under incredible strain and in the midst of all of this there's an unseemly squabble which is broken again between the looking government in debt and the central government with jenny government think it's simply not getting adequate supplies of oxygen and india's federal system is the

central government which distributes it allocates the amount of oxygen which each state gets and while it is recurring is going on the courts have got in while the high court to the supreme court and the people at this stage and losing loved ones they don't want to hear this kind of bickering going on and difficult course concern is really high and growing and so as this bickering continues what again what is the government's response to these accusations of complacency incompetency and managing this emergency when this is not the biggest can't imagine c 3 that india has ever streets and the government says it's doing all it can to bring situation under control ridge they've had numerous meetings high palate meetings they've mobilized the airfields to get oxygen containers they've got the army in to set up field hospitals so this is the they're doing everything they can in depth our people must stukely on the ground see it missing they little

they want to head straight right now because it's a question of this in my view and then i believe that the government is in complete denial in the way it's handling this crisis. i didn't his delhi bureau chief amrita cheema will take a look at some more of the day's developments in this pandemic the european medicines agency has started evaluating the use of fives of brown text coded 19 vaccine for 12 to 15 year olds authorization is seen as a crucial step towards achieving herd immunity lawmakers in denmark of drop the johnson and johnson corona virus vaccine for marriage official campaign where they've agreed to allow voluntary use of the shots and novak's is told the e.u. it plans to begin delivering its coverage $1000.00 vaccine towards the end of the year the deal will supply about $200000000.00 doses for booster shots. other stories making the news around the world now u.s. secretary of state anthony blinken has criticized china for acting in what he calls

a major internet platform to shed images of the sexual abuse of children officials said the document such as one of the biggest in the world that have been operating since at least 29 teen investigation found images of survey sexual abuse including of topless custody several suspects are in custody. the boy's town website is now offline but until recently more than 400000 members met up on this darkness platform to share illegal images of young boys being abused after a lengthy investigation by germany and europe all 3 main suspects were arrested mid april and a 4th is now in custody authorities shut the platform down. all 4 men were arrested on suspicion of criminal activity they're being charged with conspiracy and publishing pornographic content 3 of them are accused of being the administrators of the boys town website the 4th is suspected of being the most active platform

member and having made over 3500 posts chuffed to post it so hard whether the men themselves committed abuses unclear this can only be determined after the data has been analyzed even though the raid was successful germany's federal police know the investigation must continue. when you have such a large system and cut off its head you're only eliminating the current administrators the members still exist we have to assume that a similar site will resurface but that doesn't stop us from continuing to prosecute those responsible for the website the offenders face prison sentences of 6 months to 10 years state prosecutors believe the suspects will receive multiple years behind bars. well you need some a no vote from the d.w.p. digital desk cancer research the issue of child abuse to organize through the docket for the w's magazine program shift welcome to the studio. how

significant is this latest series of arrests a major sensation for a german investigators i mean this platform boys town we're talking about people around the globe shared videos and images of sexual abuse on this platform it is said to have had 400000 members so it's really big if you put it in perspective the last big platform of this kind that was taken down in germany that had one 100000 accounts and now we're talking about 400000 members around the globe so that actually makes it one of the biggest platforms of this kind right that we know of presumably and that brings me to my next point because of course these are illicit activities that in secret all these dark web so that they must be particularly difficult to to to investigate yes indeed they are i mean what you have to know about the dark web is that it's

a different part of the internet so that you can only access through specific software which allows users to remain anonymous and of course this anonymity makes it really hard to investigate these platforms which is why we've seen also this international cooperation right now europol germany initiated the task force other countries were involved. the you as the netherlands' and yeah what investigators basically do is they try to infiltrate these platforms they try to talk to the members in the chats to just get any kind of information they can to yeah have an idea where the admin might be located to take them down in the end well 400000 member those forests here in germany so that a lot of people i would imagine just waiting for the knock at the door yeah we would hope that but still i mean now they arrested the admins but we don't know if they can actually get to other users as i said this anonymity makes it just so hard

to actually locate the people and also the people that use these platforms they they talk about encryption methods in chats that we see on these platforms though so they are aware of the fact that they might be taken down and now we also have to worry about actually them taking to another platform which often happens so i mean it is a big sensation of course this bus that this platform has been taken down but yeah we have to see in the future that there hopefully won't be any other platforms of this kind to talking to thanks for joining us 70. well today marks world press freedom day i were honoring outstanding journalists with the w.'s freedom of speech award this year as with i mean 1st of journalist from nigeria from an early age to has stood up for women's rights and called out justice even brisk in her life during some of the most challenging aside it's. a few things excite to portray
