period he was part of the communist resistance that fought against the germans in the balkans right before the end of world war 2 and he was particularly active in the city of saturday of war after the war of ulta became a superhero even in comics books though now so how it's once the keeper valdez memory alive and with it the fascination for comics. evil nazis and heroic partisans every child growing up in the former yugoslavia knew the story while to defend sarajevo as well as a film it was a comic book that had millions of fans around the globe. comics were hugely popular in the former yugoslavia and alya shaliach hopes to preserve this tradition he has been a comic enthusiastic childhood he founded design publishing company this courtyard

in sarajevo is home to a coffee comics as well as a shop which sells comic books and graphic novels there really it is more of a refuge within the dallas fort worth i do think anyone in bosnia today would enter the comic book trade purely as a business venture were a progress report you need to love comics or so aside from the fact that i'm trying to earn my living from it this is about my passion for comics through the series of is also an attempt to leave a few traces behind very that was eventually to reawaken a lot of comics and kids both authentic a view. children can bring in a comic they've already read and exchange it for another she had it and nothing from this but he says that's not important he's too busy trying to salvage whatever he can his collection of comics is now larger than the one held by boston his national library. in the

1960 s. seventy's and eighty's everyone in yugoslavia read comics it was organized the street in the school supported it or here is maybe a little less but compared to today. the print runs were incredible it was the way through the darkness the break of yugoslavia also spelled the end of this comic culture since then sales have been sluggish back in the early seventy's a comic is you could easily sell 800000 copies. today young artists like and it's cheap have a tough time living from their work. while you brought into the our stock was twaddle as we were there are a couple of enthusiastic to do it because it's their passion or through the stephen reason there is still any type of scene here reporter work over there's a comic book authors and illustrators unfortunately look for jobs outside of bosnia

and herzegovina one of the. chief says the market has been decimated even though the internet is creating new opportunities he says what's missing are publishers like challenge and his publishing company. so much only is doing with regard to comics so with the publishing house on the comic book store is a good step towards creating what bosnia lacks or what kind of platform you can work with. as a platform or watch it rod through a gothic comics has brought out a new edition of wall to defend sarajevo the story has also been republished in german and chinese in china the tale of walter the resistance fighter who took on the nazis is well known chinese tourists visiting sarajevo flocked to his memorial

there though until the end the nazis never knew who walter was you know him walter is tell me his name at once. i will show him to you. you see the answer to. this is falter. in sarajevo walter is once again a symbol of resistance now against the political corruption that's paralyzed bosnia for decades. within those who are the more people are sick of having to just survive on their own. and walters message to fight for others to fight for others lives in all of us with the other thing is to make something of our lives here and sorry vu and in bosnia i mean shallots is optimism in the face of all odds is reminiscent of walter's message never give up even in times of great resistance

we now want to take you to the caspian sea to a region where you can actually find sea monsters and know we're not talking about any last message monster but about a huge metal vessel designed to scare off enemies during the cold war this man played an important role in the project. is a retired engineer and he remembers the time when he used to ride the waves on the caspian sea months. it was a colossal quick and dangerous this monstrous vehicle partnership part airplane is on a beach by the caspian sea in the republic of dagestan. trying to plan for screened later design for military use presumably against the west. like edgy up to gleam off served as flight engineer on test flights for the wing

ship or growing to fetch the acoa surgeon eric lee known colloquially this one is called the caspian sea monster. what we get the guy i operated the propulsion units from here. it's a great machine just incredible the slope. the 1st winship was designed in the 1960 s. it was meant to guard russia's coastlines and fight enemy ships costing undetected by radar thanks to a slow flight. this uses the ground effect here a dynamic interaction with the surface beneath the wings treat just enough to carry the 380 ton giant a few meters above the water. but it never saw genuine service 14 years after the caspian sea monsters launch the soviet union collapsed and test flights were ended. but then you put it the way. we thought hardly words. but

we were so proud of our country at the time for developing such let's call them products unlike any other country in the world holland knew from what it was written natural it wasn't a monster those above them or thought. even plans to use the crown a plan to carry passengers because it didn't need long runways or airports. up to gleam of stiff 14 years of his life to the plan he logged a bit more than 500 hours of flight time which she says is not much for a professional test pilot but the flights were anything but easy something always went wrong the prototype i don't even built for test flights. 3 was nick though we have various firefighting protocols in the event of an accident. or if we just want to be honest we never once had to use them. with the new rich of us. today the

caspian sea monster stands neuter bent a 2 hour drive from our home. the now retired flight engineer is proud to be the only data. in the team of soviet researchers. hardly any photos remain from his time of them after all it was a top secret soviet military project. but i was the only non party member they took on but no one would have gone there to coworkers were communists. when the head of our test pilots division found out about he was shocked or not how could a nonparty member have become a crew member. but we kept us. today party membership means nothing the country allergy of. the soviet union is history and the colossal winship is destined to serve as an attraction in petri

park at a recent planned on the caspian sea coast. the woman moved to much though. everything is ruined. the work of so many designers and engineers. hospitalise that still standing in the most that we wore rather that there was talk about dismantling it for scrap and i do buy milk i hope it'll help young people understand what fantastic technology we hunt and what a great country. and i hope that will help them feel proud of this country and its people not obama's. and so the caspian sea monster faces a very different mission in today's russia to be your witness to the one time power and greatness of the former soviet union.

well that's all we have time for today but we'll be back with more stories and reports next week up to see you then take care and then back.

international perspective some of. the number of museums here in germany have large collections of songwriting african arts where the government here is now talking about returning at least some of the priceless treasures to africa so why has it taken so long find out on to the post trauma to the. point is the cost of it will keep us on t w. i was fishing when i arrived here i slept with 6 people in a room that is very similar it was hard i was fair. i even got white hair is that. the german language head nodding off this gives me a little bunch maybe to instruct let's say you want to know their story. and spur fighting and reliable information for margaret.

the book. it's an ongoing quest story fit the picture i think our spring began in 2011. people stood up against controversy and dictatorship mug all these moments. have left deep box in my memory the book because i have a critical feeling to be put in the work of liberty to. play they had hoped for more security more freedom more dignity. of their hopes mean for civil. 10 years after the arab spring. now rebellion starts june 7th on g.w.

. the big. the big play. this is new year's live from berlin an idea to get coronaviruses vaccines into more arms the united states says it now supports a waiving patent protection for covert 1000 vaccines but germany is pushing back saying this is not the solution to vaccine shortages also coming up despite fears that it could further divide society legislation to exempt immunize people from 1000 restrictions. in germany. and. a giant step towards avoiding relegation to feed freiburg 3 nil in

a game that had been postponed due to a covert $1000.00 quarantine. i'm told me all logic but welcome to the program the us is decision to support a temporary lifting of vaccine has sparked debates across continents in question is whether sharing the exact recipes for coven 1000 vaccines can help to get more shots to more people much faster but european union says it's open to discuss the idea but germany is voicing skepticism a government spokesperson says protecting intellectual property is essential to supporting innovation. perhaps it's pictures like these from india that start to change of heart. the u.s.

announced its support for waving that same patience on wednesday soon after the e.u. said that it too would be willing to talk about it. the wealthy and industrialized countries have longer post such a move that brussels may join washington in reversing cause the european union is also ready to discuss any proposal that address the crisis some months aid organizations have raised the alarm about how vaccines are being distributed with poor and middle income countries left behind. we need our governments to push the vaccine manufacturers to transfer the technology to transfer know how and to help other manufacturers around the world scale up production but the pharmaceutical industry sees things differently they say producing vaccines is a highly complex process and that allowing the vaccines to be replicated by others

could impact their safety and quality what happens now is in the hands of the w.t.r. but a quick decision appears unlikely. let's discuss this further with dr ammash a doctor senior scholar at the johns hopkins university center for health security he joins us from pittsburgh and the u.s. warm welcome to the program does waving vaccine patents solve the problem of getting the vaccines out. and it absolutely does not because you have to remember this waiver is a process that's going to take several months to unfold it has to be approved by member countries and it's going to be something that if it does occur is going to be long after vaccine supply has likely gotten better what we need to do now is to remove the supply chain disruptions that are going on there many countries that have export restrictions so we can't sell vaccines to some of these countries can't get vaccines to them that's what needs to happen this is sort of. a solution is. in

search of a problem because what we're seeing here is an effort to undermine the the whole innovation platform for developing vaccines like the kobe vaccine itself and i think that that precedent is something that is very dangerous and needs to be needs to be stopped. is this an issue of timing for example would this have been fine in the pandemic will you saying this shouldn't have been an option at all this should have been an option at all intellectual property is basically the cornerstone for how we develop innovative products and remember them and during a vaccine they've not enforced their patent since the very beginning of their vaccination program yet there are no other companies that make them a dharna vaccine so this really isn't about to me access to vaccines because they're being held up patents aren't the reason why the world isn't vaccinated patents are the reason why we even have kovan 1000 vaccines. we have seeing you mentioned supply chain issues for example in the e.u.

where they simply have not enough vaccines produced that is not just an export issue this is production so how would that problem be solved. what we really have to do is prioritize that scenes and have to develop a manufacturing base in these in countries that need to to to to vaccinate their populations i think that's not necessarily intellectual property issue that's building capacity to be able to have the know how to manufacture at a rapid pace to have many factoring at a high level of quality it's not something that can be done overnight and it's not something that you can do just from having the recipe for the pfizer vaccine. views from the developing world say that they need the idea of waving the patent protection is a step in the right direction the director of the africa centers for disease control and prevention called the decision cold and act a great act of humanity are you saying this is a misguided would you be saying this is a misc a misguided view. i do think it is

a misguided view this is very short range because what many of these ideas kind of are premised on is that these vaccines are just there for the taking but they don't require effort that they don't require mental mental concentration met mental these are products of people's minds that they just don't appear in if we remove those incentives if we remove the ability of companies to invest in plant and think about what how they can offset those risks because they think they're going to get revenue because of the patent protection who's going to want to innovate in this field any more who's going to want to enter into these agreements during pandemics if at the end this can be just taken away from them so i think that's the what they're not seeing they're not seeing this long range and and i think that's what we have to really combat because if we lose the ability to innovate and have the bio pharmaceutical companies develop products that all our lives depend on we're all going to be worse off i think we can solve coben $1000.00 without violating intellectual property rights that was

a mash of dollars or from the johns hopkins university center for health security. german lawmakers have backed the easing of restrictions for as many vaccinated people as possible as the country's vaccination program pace but the idea of loosening the rules for some but not for others doesn't sit well with everyone. meeting people outside with fewer restrictions. traveling today had without restrictive measures. liberties there will soon be possible for those who have been fully vaccinated in germany. to parliament approved legislation granting more freedom for those who have either been vaccinated against the corona virus or have recovered from a covert 19 infection the government says is not about granting privileges but reinstating rights. but we're talking about people who have been isolated in their

care homes restricted to their rooms without contact to others people who are suffering they should be allowed to enjoy their meals together in the dining hall. but german seem very much divided over the issue among the high and you can create too much disparity within the population but at the same time you have to make sure that you somehow find a balanced solution. i'm in favor of giving freedom back to those who are no longer pose a risk but it would mean that people who don't get vaccinated for whatever reason are 2nd class citizens experts warn that there will be a lengthy transition phase before a large part of the population is vaccinated. concerning the contact risk trick sions in public places i wonder whether it makes sense to create such a visible social division for a certain time if i. hope of course that it will only be

a short transitional face. after passing germany starck the country's opera house is expected to give the bill the green light to lose in restrictions for vaccinated people who have recovered from covert 19 could be in place as soon as next week and here are some other developments in the pandemic australian national stranded in india might be able to return home from mid may onwards the government says it will allow repatch ration flights to resume last week authorities banned all inbound travel from india as a south asian nation grappled with a covert 19 outbreak the japanese government plans to extend health restrictions in tokyo until the end of this month bars restaurants and my life in the capital will have to close plans to extend the state of emergency and in france the strain on
