knowledge in all kinds of fields it's often china that the u.s. points out as as china cheat on intellectual property rules to develop their own kind of a rip off of different kinds of products but it's a campaign promise of joe biden he said that he would he would support this kind of waiver at the show and now he's coming through with this after an intense pressure from other democrats from progressive groups and from world health advocates so if agreement can be arranged what will this mean for global vaccine nexus what we're talking about generics right generic versions cheaper versions of a name brand product whether it's the pfizer vaccine astra zeneca danno the number of other vaccines that are on the line right now to allow vaccine makers pharmaceutical companies all around the world to develop locally to develop more cheaply and to get supply really boosted all around the world especially for the lower and middle income countries now of course the farming industry in united states is absolutely against this they say it would affect supply effects security

and let's not forget that while you know companies like pfizer are going to earn or have earned billions of dollars from their vaccine development also takes billions of dollars to research these kinds of breakthrough technologies technologies and they say they need that incentive and they need the money to be able to continue the research and development that gives us these kinds of drugs and these kinds of vaccines and such quick order of course to deploy diplomacy side as well vaccines have become a kind of currency in the diplomatic world for international relations which china and russia have been very effective with their vaccines in the us having been so effective at home now may want to show some goodwill around the world with actually distribution well and thank you for this analysis that's. the commission president and says the e.u. is prepared to discuss the way it looks for ways to improve global access to cope with 19 back since. the european union is also ready to discuss any

proposal that address the crisis in an effective and pragmatic manner and that's why we are ready to discuss how the u.s. proposal for waiver on intellectual property protection for covered vaccines could help achieve that objective of an alliance speaking then are joined from brussels by our correspondent banned. from alliance says the commission is willing to consider waiving patents you can't decide that i'm wrong country. though she certainly needs also the member state of the e.u. on board they will discuss this. at a summit coming up in lisbon this weekend and it's the forum for that is the w t o the world trade organization there are some emergency mechanism that would allow it to waive some of these intellectual property rights that you fishless briefing

impreza say it's not that simple because they're actually no peyton's legally speaking on this vaccines yet and we don't know for example that one of the companies has no payton done that and doesn't want one if we are talking about licensing the production so the they could force companies to issue licenses to other producers to tell them how to actually make this vaccine and how to set up production sides and it's not a simple generic generica that you're producing here and the companies warn it is not that easy in its no remedy for the short term. need for vaccines baby in the long term that will help but in the law in the short term only the export from producing side already existing would be a solution so they you of her example is urging the u.s. to export vaccines which is not doing right now and that this could be a way out of this short term crisis maybe did i mean spending up there from

brussels thank you found and allison look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today u.s. secretary of state anthony blinken has arrived in ukraine for talks with president voting and selenski specter it's so we're so here for u.s. support after russia massed more than 100000 troops along ukraine's eastern border and countries corruption efforts will also be on the agenda. around 50 french fishing boats sailed in a flotilla to the british channel island of jersey on thursday in protest of a post briggs's fishing rights france says the new rules unfairly restrict their ability to fish in the u.k. waters. went to india now which has reported more than 400000 new covert 900 cases and almost 4000 deaths in a single day setting records for both the burden on the country's health care system is becoming increasingly unsustainable as patients of hospitals and crucial

crucial supplies run short it's all hands on deck with even medical students being brought in to help out in patient care. running low on sleep junior doctor. dresses and protective gear to begin a 27 hour long shift. is only 26 years old and hasn't even finished his medical training we're told we had a friendly. for disability a record will be sealed in ne you can hear more from it but that we're listening. at this point i think we are being told to do this if you are good if you have no fear and i just want to be. there is a severe shortage of oxygen and ventilators at this hospital and others across delhi many people come looking for a bed for

a sick relative but these are also in very short supply patients and relatives crowd every available space in some cases people lying close enough for patients to touch. one man is in a storage room surrounded by bins of medical waste real hans's the sounds of his workplace haunt his sleep. so all this because you know you can read yes you think that you'd be the be the guy you were you know you'd be that continues to be was not you know the earth it would be the. patients rush from hospital to hospital hoping to find someone who would live with them many turned away left to die on the street oxygen supplies the transported by armed guard and crematoriums work around the clock. maybe even people would have to be.

before that it was a kind of this if they could make people think he would make a wonderful. after 27 hours in the e.r. ruined our gov us is he could sleep for 2 days but a friend with a sick father calls. to greece to help knowing that in reality there's not much he can do. let's go to india now i'm joined by a neat about season human knowledge is that india institute of science education and education and research at the government is saying that the 2nd wave is linked to a double mutant variant 1st discovered in march i want evidence is there for this. don't lose everything it was discovered in march but it was in existence keast. really. sequencing wasn't not enough in time and that is why tracing back its

origin in which month it i got this. and why did it go out at least sequencing of the virus is easy. enough circumstantial evidence to see that this particular into the area has its or even now the 1.617 that used properly and i can see it's a cause and effect relationship but as that's all she actually is clearly strong. probably. it's not present all over the country i'm still that we've acquired it. so india together with south africa has led the proposals for a waiver on the vaccine patents how significant would such a waiver be for india and the shirt in the short and the long term. it's humans it would this is a. matter you know i mean you don't see

a situation like this i'm sure. they are manufactured however if you look at it in class if you if you use vaccines that is in the way even trying modifier manufacturers or seat i mean the biggest manufacturer. i'm not going off the seeing enough of those is off what they thought they had more off so we should get in the vaccination one of the great journey in india so even if there is this assurance and instead is if acknowledging cancer i didn't feel anything yet wrong like it or the vaccine production will clearly be the vehicle for a massive act of you should so i think the only solution right now is importing where we're maxine's. insufficient course. and of course if you really want. india's government top scientific advisor yesterday was the 3rd way it could

be on the way doesn't mean india has already seen the peak of the 2nd wife you think. i wonder are that in the state sector because they are certainly climbing up as your report out stated there are 400000 plus cases even already yesterday and so the it is clearly going up and up i don't know when we can reach the peak so to speak the i think it was through reaching coffee and so was already going to only enough west there is that . what the 2nd because i didn't quite i don't know what is going to be on the other. because there is not enough back to cover it we need the. wheeling out and our under and. makes

it i don't think fiction should be the area so we actually want to hear about it. i really believe and strengthen the medical infrastructure that everybody's talking and yet you know in the state but i don't mean you know already. so basically between what about what it gets and is above thank you her very much for taking the time to talk to dobbins thank you oh with infection rates falling on the vaccination campaign slowly picking up some speed germany's easing restrictions for people who've been fully vaccinated the border sun has approved the decision granting more freedom for those who have either been vaccinated against the corona virus or have recovered from an infection the government says it's not about front of privileges but reinstating constitutional rights. on

the summer joined from the german parliament badajoz to has a top or 2 as a tell us more about the details. well again had almost all parties here in the german bundestag agreed on lifting restrictions for people who no longer pose a risk anymore to others that is fully vaccinated people who've already had the 2nd jab they will no longer have to abide by curfews and contact respect ins and that's true of most controversial measures here in germany they also no longer need a negative test result to enter shops or headdress us or zeus for example and they will no longer have to go into a car and try and when they return from foreign countries as long as it's not countries that have a virus mutation going on there but of course even vaccinated people will still have to wear face masks in public and stick to social distancing rules and those that degree now it still has to pass the law but that's scheduled for tomorrow so this new rule this new rules could come into effect as early as this weekend. well

some say that this step could have a negative impact on the general mood in germany. well because it's a huge really controversial issue because even with the vaccination campaign picking up a lot of speed lately only a bit more than 8 percent of germany's population is fully vaccinated so far so many germans especially young germans argue that they've not even had the chance to get the 1st step so it's unfair to them because they might have to go to work unprotected in the summer while their parents or grandparents who for already had their vaccination can go on trips or meet their friends and we've asked berlin us how they feel about this issue let's hear what they had to say. you can't create too much disparity within the population but at the same time you have to make sure that you somehow find a balance solution. and that. in the british i'm in favor of giving freedom back to

those who are no longer pose a risk but. would mean that people who don't get vaccinated for whatever reason are 2nd class citizens i'm all for it but it's an injustice towards some people. that i'm not ok with the fact that the non vaccinated also have to reckon with considerable disadvantage as. well others argue that vaccination. could actually benefit from this new rule because the lifting of prescription could act as an accent to get back to native and then of course there's a small percentage of germans who don't want to be vaccinated at all and who demand a lifting of restrictions to everybody but lawmakers here in the bundestag argued that it's not about giving privileges to some people but about giving back constitutional rights because many germans as possible. don't so there's a total thank you interest. as have some of the other stories making

suffered atrocities by militias especially as compost province we are on the road with a nerve agent aid organization over a distance of just 60 kilometers we passed through about 20 checkpoints controlled by various rebel groups as well as the congolese army. militia checkpoint it's mostly boys carrying guns their weapons are concealed but the threat is real they ask for money but a few words persuade them to let us pass today. we reached a can for internally displaced people enjoy a draw it's one of many in the d.r. see about 5 in the whole of 1000000 of the country's estimated $105000000.00 people are displaced more than anywhere else in africa.

barely managed to escape her village when a militia attacked it she was on the run with her children when she realized her daughter was missing. i decided to go back to find and save her i was convinced she was still alive but unfortunately she was already dead i was so sad just devastated when i walked past them they shot at me i had no idea if it survived i gradually lost all my strength i was having difficulty breathing then and slipped into some bush i lost all hope i was sure i was going to die he choose the they did it. she survived but found her 4 year old daughter murdered. going to sleep. as soon as she was released from hospital she gathered her 5 other children and fled to this canned food water and medical care on short supply but at least

they're safe here she says in. our correspondent there reporting from it's henri and you can find much more coverage from that region on our website which is of course do w. dot com. and for all the stage is set for the champions league final later this month chelsea will join manchester city in the final after beating around the 2 nil here to walk us through all that is a talkie from supposedly much was this deserved by the opposition coach even admits that chelsea were the better us high and i'm sure that this was a deserved when they were energetic they control the tempo over 180 minutes and german international team over an hour also finally rising to the ok ok zhang by making it one nil in the 1st half and he has struggled to score goals since joining the english side so good on him and after that this fight creating a lot of chances chelsea didn't really get on the scoresheet until really late

until what was it mason moment scored the deal in the 85th minute to make it to never. and chelsea of course made history because now they're the press club where the men's and women's vote both have reached the champions league final all in one season and of course thomas took after the win yesterday very very pleased with his side let's take a listen what a spirit to show in moments where we needed to suffer in 1st half and what the reaction in 2nd half and never never never never never down that's we're always up even after these big chances that we must always stay positive and we never regret something so for us. so well so who's speaking that have to the image that the german. if you will all much of a role played in the wind a big road because just listening to it is the old tone right that the sound bite

that we just heard it's like the man himself should take credit for that because since he took over chelsea in january he has been a stabilizing force he has what is it he has tighten a defense that conceit far fewer goals than before and more importantly he's gotten the best out of each and every player like this like this fighting spirit like they really are into impressing their coach and going back to to the german touch is definitely a german touch involved and not just here with thomas to hold the last 3 champions league finals all featured a german coach so credit to the german coaching system they definitely do something really really special. still it will be an all english final is going to happen in istanbul so what can we expect so he is the irony of it all because city and chelsea here we have 2 clubs making the final that only a few we go was all set on destroying the champions league the champions league by

joining the super league the european super league so it's been you know a very interesting turn of events but going back to in terms of expectations chelsea obviously the more inexperienced side but took her even said after the game that we know what to expect me to beat city in the f.a. cup so we're confident and he says the chances are 5050 but when it comes to pressure i think they'll be a lot more pressure on city especially on pep guardiola because people need to remember he has won a lot of trophies with city he's had a lot of records but he's not really done what he was supposed to do and that is when the champions league not yet so he has a shot. his voice thank you very much. it was indeed i mean here's a reminder of all top story the e.u. says it's willing to discuss covert 19 vaccine patent waves as this comes after the u.s. publicly backed plans to improve global vaccine supply access 5 temporarily suspending

intellectual property rights where the discussions of the world trade organization knowledge specters take months. and that's it from me and the news to don't go away coming up next focus on europe and also remember you can always visit our website for a lot more news on back all of us t.w. dot com i got up as a villain i'm still of to. meet .

if not after century or. the burial ground in iran. people live in areas where it's being sheer and find the final rest. placed. anonymous. gotten by the wilds. never mo. focused on your. neck. injury the

conflicts on the government's own sri lanka has been strongly criticised of the un human rights council which warned of a deteriorating situation in the country and the increase marginalise ation of minorities my guest this week is just enough called i'm a geek said could you just remind us foreign ministry physically johnson is no mood to take the criticism seriously i'm still something about the conflict so for. 60 minutes on t.w. . trench it's. a lot of fun she would extravagant outfits and glitter glitter glitter. they're fighting against prejudice i don't hold cable like i did nothing i just stepped up and for

britain. to be our little stars on the big stage. it's struck me 17 w. . hello and welcome to a new at this and i'll focus on europe thanks for joining us today nato is pulling its troops. from afghanistan and that includes the german buddhists them the consequences of this move can be seen in europe. around 10000 soldiers are deployed at the hindu kush now they are packing their bags and

returning home critics fear that once they leave a new civil war may break out. and with it we could see a rising number of people fleeing afghanistan and taking on the dangerous journey to turkey right now many who've succeeded are arriving in van allen in the eastern part of the country i mean a sufi is a dame and her son part got here 3 years ago but they know that many don't make it and that's why i mean and part of this are determined to keep alive the memory of the unknown debt. minas of his interest on power vs it is always difficult to come here. the symmetry of the nameless is a bleak place. my 100 years you get in me going to the people who are buried here all had mothers brothers and sisters they all had someone who loved them but now their families don't even know that they are here it breaks my heart

that there is no one who comes and prays for them mobile how dare you not right to . be among them that is why i am mean and harvests pray here on behalf of everyone else. they too flit from afghanistan why iran to turkey illegally on foot over the mountains it's a long dangerous journey and many who don't make it end up here in the east in turkish city of van in an unadorned grave with no name. without a high myself there is a man here who was found dead in a mansion. and once we brought women's bodies so their fingers and tools were frozen in the cold. and yet only a few are discouraged by the risk the number of people trying to get to europe where this route has risen sharply in recent years most of from afghanistan

pakistan or bangladesh and what was once a tiny cemetery has long since become a mass burial ground. recently turkish police stopped a truck in the area people smugglers had crammed more than 100 children women and men into the back. more than 50 migrants died last year after their boat capsized on lake van. turkey is now building walls everywhere in the region to stop the migrants hundreds of kilometers long the border with syria has already been closed off the wall to iran is still under construction. human rights lawyer mahmoud could chances wolf won't stop the refugees. they only make their journey more dangerous. the shape of a somewhat abused. people always look for ways to enter the

country. even if it means risking their lives. what turkey has been ignoring for too long is the fact that people smuggling in this area has become a kind of business sector so. people can make a lot of money in a short time at a relatively low risk. ameena and paris is still clearly remember their own flight from afghanistan that was more than 3 years ago the smugglers took everything from them they say. here in van the family is now trying to get by on low paid jobs. people only to those can work. on money collecting garbage or selling fruit and vegetables at the market and we simply can't make ends meet. like so many others they want to continue to woods europe but they cannot afford to

do that and the trip is not without its dangers either back to afghanistan they say that's out of the question i have lost everything in afghanistan it's a war zone our house was destroyed how can we go back there and there's no safety for our children and you will environment but if we have to go back they will kill my son that's not an option. so they are holding out in eastern turkey stranded in their new existence. and they think of those who lost their lives and are buried here at the symmetry of the nameless. a new life in safety that's what many refugees arriving in the u.k. hoped for and this was the same decades ago before the 2nd world war more than 10000 jewish children found refuge and new homes in the united kingdom's safe from

the nazis laura dubs or was one of those children he's now 88 years old and he has been fighting tirelessly for children who are fleeing from war in terror and who are on the move all by themselves. having to leave your family your country and everything you know behind you. lord dubs knows what that's like when he was just 6 years old alfred dupes was placed on a train and as part of a kindertransport evacuating children from nazi occupied czechoslovakia the train was bound for london where his jewish father had already sought refuge his mother was denied a visa. and put on a train. by anxious parents of the station german soldiers. i suppose that was quite traumatic. give me some sandwiches for the journey and when i got to love that i had no problem at all and parts of them but all they had

by far was waiting for me. at liverpool sensation i was very very lucky that his father died not long after and all those mother made it a lot and she was never happy there but the 88 year old's doesn't like to talk about those things he prefers to not change through political progress and a seat in the british house of lords in parliament dobbs advocates for underage refugees well as they did for the 1st half what the minister said i was slightly less certain about the 2nd half of this cross party initiative has enabled 480 children mainly from war zones to come to the u.k. even if the government cut back on the numbers. i think saving one person and giving them a chance of a decent life is one victory so without sounding too pompous about it that is a victory. but behind every victory is a story of hardship must it was 13 when he left somalia fleeing from islamist

terror groups. over the next 3 years he traveled through war ravaged libya over the mediterranean to italy before reaching the refugee camp in telling friends known as the jungle he was all on his own. he said he was beaten and witnessed other migrants perish. a lot of people died in the sea of shoes and in the water yeah i see a lot of boat was on life was unsafe. i didn't have another choice this is his 1st meeting with the man who brought him to england. today mostly lives in london and study supporting college young just want to say thank you for. 'd only being here without just help it's how i came as a child i was 6 i was young i was 6 years old well i never thought this these

things happen in life quite unexpectedly but of a lot of a thought i'd be here doing this. more dogs asks must say what it was like to live the company tally and appends his experiences of the civil war in libya to discover they're both manchester united fans it's a conversation between 2 refugees 118 and the other 88. i was called him legend he has been a love for v.j. and done a lot of things to help him a lot of younger be able because he understands and he was that situation and they know how it's fairly not been in somewhere like in cali or clegg so has he done brilliant child yeah i want to be like him in the fish i'm heading along for the ship but what unites me is the fellow feeling that we've all fled to safety britain gave me fantastic opportunities. and i'd like to feel that other people coming the

child refugees will be given the same opportunities and the same old welcome that i think. it's present unaccompanied minors in european refugee camps have little chance of coming to the u.k. legally your dobes considers that to be an acceptable i'm just fighting for the law to be changed man. i would argue that the least we can do is to show the sponsibility of other european countries and that means we should take a few more shouldn't take them all. right but we should we should take a few more we can do better than me and i would argue that that is our humanitarian responsibility. nor dobes plans to live up to this responsibility over the next 10 years he was to u.k. to take in 2000 children the same number as one skein on the contrary transport. and that can lead to wonderful encounters like the one between large dabs and

massive from somalia. last year was difficult for hotel and restaurant owners and european tourist destinations like the italian island of capri many people stayed whole or only travelled within their own countries now that we have several vaccines against the corona virus there are hopes for a better holiday season visitors this year capris population is being vaccinated as quickly as possible but this is this pleasing to sam on mainland italy. this stunning view belongs to capri. the island usually some 2000000 holidaymakers every here. locals are used to the many visitors. that surprise this year they are still having to wait for. the jewel in the gulf of naples especially beautiful during these months as is the garden of the where no court systems. there

live and products are legendary. you know if you look we have blossoms and lemons at the same time. such an intoxicating smell. we had so much rain that everything is grown well look at this branch it's bending under the weight. the one think about how much ice cream and cakes are going to make. meanwhile and the fear come out luxury of being spruced up for affluent tourists who up until the pandemic brought in a large part of the island's revenues. the islanders are now hoping that the covert free capri campaign will help bring about their return. the focus to plan the entire island population will be back noted by the summer and the beach atmosphere can be restored half of already received their 1st shot. but now the island is

being criticized by other tourism spots on the mainland capri has been accused of trying to jump ahead with its vaccination scheme to attract more than its share of tourists. denies that. this is the this is the one i was your. disagreement just different approaches simply up the pressure so that more attention is paid to tourist sites on the islands. on the mainland at the famous site of the ancient town herculaneum people are also waiting for tourism to pick up again. and 29600000 visitors came here. last year it was only $60000.00. people sounded like you can return to and we have lives that may not be the single one of which places like these can be visitors again there are so important for

everybody. not original. the archaeological site is also the financial lifeline of ethical arnold a small town near naples. used to attract only daytrippers but now it has around 2000 tourists beds. every guest counts the local mayor says coppery has luxury problems whereas here the fight as for survival. i don't think it would be right to prioritise capri ischia or procida and to forget pompei herculaneum maples and the sorento coast on the other muffy coast tourism should only be given after mass vaccinations and not because one island has been vaccinated. but on parkway many hope tourists return earlier than that when i quote her sisters have added class divisions to their ice cream parlor and preparation so that they can work without wearing a mask oh yeah. you. ask.

i don't really have to have the song your we have to work and we want to work absolute but we have to be safe and so do our customers you know what you see. caprio is known for its beautiful waters stunning and hidden caves. i fancy santa has spent countless hours varying visitors around. a certain tourist will be back soon thanks to the vaccine was that. we're all of this to the philosophy of our region which is that you have to visit a barrel when it's full because it makes no more sense when it is empty of what the f. bomb. their dream island of capri waiting for visitors to return. everyone in.
