he was fired for political reasons. the coaches told me in the history of him and i was surprised at 1st. then he felt awful. but then i got angry. if any, donovan was known as a diligent worker and says his work was never once criticized. let me think, i've never been to a protest. i'm not interested in the volley as a politician, but as a human being and a citizen of this country and just like him, each one of us can be subject to the whims of the authorities. the police change tank at the most recent major protests in moscow on april 21st instead of mass arrest. many activists were subjected to intimidation and punishment. days later this was repression. many were visited by police after the protest somewhere charged and jailed. others were fired or thrown out of college. the firing of guinea donovan was not an isolated incident. moscow's metro workers' union is

currently being inundated with similar cases. not done it up about them ruling. we've received more than 40 complaints on the phone. but i think there will be even more about 60 dismissals altogether. when we did talk to just when the mass firings were brought up at a press conference kremlin speaker dmitri pascal's maintained that the workers were let go for having taken part in unauthorized protests. and then employers had the right to do so. but you have guineas, donovan claims he has never taken part in a protest because anyone can make mistakes. but i didn't. i voice my political opinion. if the state carries out such punishments, it'll achieve the opposite of its aims. people will want to join the opposition. i've always been silent, but no more technic, which together with his union, ge donovan plans to sue his employer, the mosque. tro,

although he doesn't believe he'll succeed, he wants to keep fighting, even if it's only a symbolic gesture. that report by uri rash shadow r a. d w. moscow bureau chief and we can talk now to your good to see you. you're the most, the metro employee see their firings were politically motivated. is this a common form of repression in russia? while this is a new form of progression, i would say layla and quite malicious from the perspective of the protesters at least. but this method of intimidation works, maybe it hasn't affected my protagonist and the report we just saw because he doesn't want to be silent any moment now. but i think that a lot of other people who are critical of the kremlin will now think very careful about whether or not they will take to the streets and protests. look during the last protest he and moscow in april and of surveillance cameras have recalled the recall that people on the street and police have used facial recognition technologist so that police could find them intimidate them and search their homes

. then there was also an online signature complain, demanding the release of no valley that the database was hacked, allegedly, by the national security services giving the state excess to the personal data of nearly 400000 citizens. including guinea pro my report, and now the metro worker in your report. so i believe that his court case will be successful today. the effected workers have any way to defend themselves at all. well, you can hardly defend yourself against that sort of ad coordinate with greg dawn. i would say some people will certainly go to court here in russia. some may perhaps also be able to the european court of human rights. but 1st of all, such proceedings can take years. and secondly, even if people, when in european court, that decision could be ignored by russia because russian law can be placed above europe in law. as it was, one of the things is because the dish no constitutional changes last year. now

russian authorities haven't intensified. there are cracking down on the scene of all these movements since he was jailed in february. tell us about that if you can . yeah, russian authorities wants to classify not only as end to corruption, foundation and to other organizations connected to him as an extremist. i called if you to make that decision on june 9th, and i expect that they will declare them to be extra mis estimates. and that would mean layla that everyone who works with this organization can be prosecuted. and anybody who gives the money to the foundation can be also prosecuted. basically, it all means as a complete collapse of his organization, his structure will be raised to the ground. but not only has followers, hundreds of thousands of russians think he's good and the kremlin politics are not good. so the question is, what happens with them going forward? what they are going to do in the future? now russians are due to voting parliamentary elections. this fall,

what kind of campaign are we likely to see in the coming months? the elementary elections, of course, is the most important political event in russia this year. we are now seeing that the authorities are really tightening the screw on all critical voices. half of that volt freedom of expression has been made almost impossible, and that down to just a blight and volley and his followers, it applies to us to our colleagues, to journalists as well. more and more media are being branded as for an agile and more and more individuals in rational being branded as for an agents as well. that creates an atmosphere field, this country. and as the for the political parties, the criminal naturally wants to do everything to can, it can to secure an overwhelming majority for the united russia party. really party with the defect. liquidation of all the, as a politician, any real position in russia is currently unthinkable your shadow dw, moscow

b r. thank you very much for your continued coverage now with the summer travel season right around the corner and cooling of virus restrictions still in place. many people here in germany are wondering if they will be able to visit their usual holiday spots. and one of the most popular destinations is germany's baltic coast. while officials in the state of leslie holstein are running a pilot project to test how tourism could work in a 2nd summer of dependency to be responding to the storage reports from the town of echo. for the tourists are flocking to the baltic sea resort of the country and shops are open. there have been no new infections here in the past week. the 70 incidents value is 0.0. why is kind to his know, tours is not even de tourists can come to this region and staying in a hotel or go to a restaurant without the roof of a negative corona virus. we've implemented this rule very consistently over the

last 4 weeks on does have it if you have often the consequence on because it's thanks to it's testing policy, the whole state of sneezing hush time can now open up for tourism not just pilot projects like you are an ac on for strict rules still apply miss. i guess we've now tested how we can deal with the tourism responsibly, which means that hosts and guests are no well prepared because the number of bookings is excellent. our boat owners are also pleased with the easing of rules and seaside resorts and harbors. up until now excursions on smaller and larger boats were not allowed here. we can finally offer excursions on charter boats. again, we are very confident and hopeful about the future. we've had a lot of inquiries, and many people have political church. fontaine, hansley, don jo shinla is also optimistic before the pandemic. he organized concerts on the beach during the shut down photo became a model region as part of a pilot project. and corona virus testing stations were needed. he has operated

this one for a few weeks. it wasn't that hard because we're familiar with the sector. we have the right equipment and technology, thanks to the concerts and events we put on. we have tens and shipping containers. we actually have everything we need the i'm i list member else. when the pilot project ends, the same rules will apply throughout the college di authorities expect the number of attention to rise was the increasing number of tourists. strict hygiene roles will not be yet over, and this is my hope. it will be a good season. some tourists are probably still afraid to go abroad and we offer a lot here on the coast, sunshine beaches, great hotels. we have great hope that we can benefit from all that again this year . i think whatever happens the whole of northern germany is reaping the rewards of this pilot project. a blueprint for the entire region.

today is world be day marking the birth of be keeping pioneer on time young shot in slovenia, nearly 300 years ago. but there's little cause for celebration. the u. n. is warning almost one 3rd of b and butterfly species, face extinction because of human activity. but some be lovers are trying to save colonies under threat rescuing malaysia's bes bare handed. that's how this software developer spends his spare time. he says gloves make it hard to be gentle when scooping up the bees to swarm in a car park under an apartment building in quite an employer is in danger. i think because what do i le mall freight off of be and not not so i mean, not so familiar would be so the perception is be re dangerous. so the moment is they see me immediately try to find some way to to

remove to be yeah. i think traditionally be the found people tend to call a fire brigade. the solution have been to burn the nests and get rid of them. that's not any risk facing the bees. re lang chaise group might be savior with set up against a backdrop of the insect global decline. there's a huge crisis in us and europe where they are having a problem. we be going almost exciting. so before that happened here, i think it's important that we continue to phase of the b and make sure that doesn't happen here. many honey, be colonies in the west wiped out in the mid to thousands worker bees. abandoned queens in a mysterious phenomenon called colony collapse disorder. pesticides are thought to

be a driver of the miss ties in with malaysia. scientist recently looked at help. these were impacted by intensive agriculture and tropical countries. they found the number of insect pollinators were 70 percent lower and intensive copeland compared to the natural habitat. but that's a fate. these rescued bees will hopefully avoid. they found a new home in the garden of a volunteer. and a lang child has a few more things to add to his extensive collection. like you know, i think the daily news coming up next in d. w. news, asia, india is digital divide hits. it's covert vaccine rollout. how patchy internet access and language barriers are preventing many from receiving vaccines and the gone interpreters to worry, they'll face reprisal attacks after western troops withdraw. will there be offered

those stories and a whole lot more coming up in just a moment? hang in there, herancha growing on behalf of all of us here. thank you so much for spending this part of your day with headlines will be back to the company on the news . news.

the news. ah. outdated medical infrastructure, overwhelmed intensive care units. in romania, this is led to hospital fires with his deadly consequences. the doctor diana, but she got lost her father in one of now she's fighting to improve her countries health care system. the focus on europe in 60 minutes, on the green you feel worried about turning to neil, host of the on the green and post code as me,

as we need to change the solutions or out the join me for the green transformation to me for the the the it's been ongoing quest for the spring began in 2011 people stood up against corrupt, rulers and dictatorship. all these moments have left the box and my memory the me, they had hoped for more security, more freedom, more dignity, have their hopes fulfilled. 10 years after the arab spring,

rebellion starts june 7th on d, w. the ws asia are coming up today in the us digital divide it's, it's called 900 vaccination. dr. large numbers of indians confir just to for jobs because they like internet access and don't speak english india vaccine registration system. this pollution at a deli, but also plus with germany also to recycle of god can tell us who was but it's been a treat many sierra the price of the tax by the taliban after western to withdraw yes. to the olympics and no to public opposition to it. the international committee said the tokyo games are on force for july, despite japan's. dia corona, about a situation.

ah, i'm british manager, welcome to deed i've been use asia. glad you could join us with india and the grip of a deadly 2nd wave of over 900 infections. attention is focused on its efforts to vaccinated people. a shortage of vaccines and a sluggish rollout has meant only about 3 percent of the population has been fully vaccinated so far. but the problems don't, and they're mandatory online registrations for vaccines through the coal. when portal approving, impossible for a large majority of the population for one people need to have access to the internet and for another. the coban portal is only in the english language, access conditions that work for a few, but exclude a large chunk of indians. the system for some works like a charm. a stop at the payment area with your vaccination appointment in hand. a

bit of a wait. and then it's time knitting mug lunney greets the doctor who is about to administer his 1st of 2 shots. mcguire is 34 and pretty happy with the way it's gone today. if you have money here internet, if you have everything, then you will get that submitted like this. what are you that you write? the story is different for my hender sharma. he runs the small store without a real chance at getting vaccinated anytime soon. here real authorities, there needs to be a system for vaccination and people who don't have a smartphone like me, what will they do? so there needs to be a door to door drive and every once you get the vaccine, even if my hand or sharma could access the internet, he'd be faced with an english language, only app, and few if any appointments available online. which by the way,

is the only way and 18 to 34 year old is supposed to get an appointment. wait, there's one. put in a code. hold your breath. so nothing crashes. and a lottery winner with an appointment confirmation will be a little better way to do it. and my scar is one of some 600000000 indians who are 18 to 44 years old. she got her vaccination. are though most others in that demographic have a long, long time to wait about the executive director of the internet for them. foundation and organization campaigning for digital rights in india, he joined enough deli apart help us understand is if you don't have access to the intimate or speak english, then you get

a vaccine job in india. and not if you will, between the ages of 18 to 45, for this age bracket, which constitutes a large portion of india's population. monday to the registration on an online platform called call when is mandated 3 prior to you receiving the job and scheduling it in the hospital provider for the hospital provider to actually inoculate you with any of the vaccines which are licensed within india . it just seems counter intuitive that they would be and a national online portal on which to, to just to get a vaccine. and you need to be able to speak english to be able to access it. why is it so the proponent of the system have stated that due to the ongoing shortages, that is the need for this didn't seem to be mundane within the vaccination process

because the vaccination centers do, do crowding may become what sport or transmission of it by itself thereby, disc, you willing function is necessity on is being implemented through this online order . however, this opens up of greater degree of iniquity, given that most people in india lack of access to the internet and india war will not be treated with smart phone having access to english based only platform for booking their vaccination, which would thereby exclude the most wonderful needy from prior d box in the ocean within this system, is the government trying to at all address this problem? asper. oh, oh, bed or code by dr. sharma. he peds the golden ball

and the technical delivery on this mcgann ism date have indicated that in further rounds or vaccination walk in box nation may be possible. one should remember that walking vaccination is at present available for each ranges above the ages of $45.00 in various deeds in india. and this limitation on the hordes for people between 1845. however, given the present be of the panoramic and how it's even impacting people in a much younger age range. that it is a. busy degree all in it could be present within the vaccination policy, whether rich, the or been on those with access to the internet with smartphones. either getting preference sure. priority in vaccination and placing india's

route unconnected population will green degree of disadvantage in terms of numbers pure water into scriber's. only about 34 people, 400 people. so it's quite a big gap apart. we'll leave it there, but thank you so much for breaking that down for us. you're welcome. thank you so much. now i let the spawns, the german military began withdrawing its troops from a gun on after 2 decades of war. of con interpreters who worked with german forces say they are now in great danger. they are asking to be re settled in germany before the september 11 withdrawal deadline. they worry if the taliban regains control after western forces leave, they and their families will be targeted for death. dual heads had goes to the bazaar and miss r e sharif. just once a week, he worked as an interpreter for germany's armed forces. the bond is fair for 7

years. now, he fears for his and his family safety. does that that you're afraid not only of reprisals by the taliban, but also of envious neighbors? i no longer visit my extended family or even like close relative to my neighbors know that i worked with foreign troops and i'm also afraid my children can be kids that are self admitted of negligence in their living room. the family show us momentos of the time when the 34 year old work for the pond is fair. his contract is a translator expired with the end of the mission in 2013. back then sadat and many other local workers gathered in front of the german camp in missouri and demanded protection. nearly 800 africans were allowed to leave the country, but they were left behind. they believe now is their last trans policy one more than now that it's clear that the foreigners in the german troops will leave afghanistan. the situation will get even worse as wide. so tiny was also

a translator for the german army from 2009 to 2018. he fears that after the pond is fair, withdraws his family could become a target for the telephone. they consider him as fine the mon or how that the, the aim of the taliban from the beginning was to destroy the connection between the african people and the international troops. over them. we translators, establish disconnection on this bridge. and that's why we're in particular danger. the threats we're facing now are unthinkable. give them more than that. you make an hedge public that isn't it. these threats are now part of everyday life. everywhere in afghanistan, many people are wondering if half surety forces will be able to protect the country on their own. after german soldiers leave me, honey, there's an attack here. almost every day they kill innocent people with our lives

are in danger. that's why i want the german government to bring us to germany for our safety on what had said that says it would hurt to have to leave his parents and beautiful home behind. but he and his wife do not want their children to grow up in afghanistan. they want them to have a secure future. the international olympic committee has said no uncertain terms of the tokyo olympic games will go ahead. as planned. on the 23rd of july, public opposition has been growing to the games, given a worsening corona about his emergency in japan. but i will see president thomas buck who himself called off a visit to the country due to the covert, tuition reiterated that cancelling the games, wasn't an option. the i o. c is thomas bock and the upper left loomed large over the start of the tokyo meeting, insisting the games will go on. we are now fully focused on the delivery

of the olympic games. it is after all box international olympic committee holding the ultimate se into whether to hold the games. the host city contract says so signed by all interested parties in 2013, when tokyo won the rights to host. in the termination section, it says the i o c has sole discretion to terminate should safety be threatened. c in the midst of a brutal 4th wave of corona, virus infections poll after poll show a clear majority in favor of terminating the games over fears. it could become a super spreader event box. some said should cancel the olympics while in tokyo for this week's meeting. he actually stayed home though in switzerland isn't coming means he cannot come. and that implicitly recognizes japan's emergency situation. so thinking

a video to show all will be well for the japanese people during the olympics and paralympics box points to event rehearsals in which athletes competed. and were housed in a strict bubble, and he added, most teams will now bring additional health professionals. should corona, virus infections occur with our jump annisa partners in france? i can only read emphasize these 40 commitment of the i of the, to organize together. they've olympic and games for everybody. momentum so important in many sports events is not on box side at the moment, but it's still the i o c's call, whether to cancel the games, which have cost at least $15000000000.00 and are now just over 2 months away. that's it for today, and you can of course, check out some other stories on our website, dot com, forward slash aisha. and you can and social media as well. but back tomorrow at the

same time and see that the the fight against the corolla virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection in developing? what does the latest research information and contact the corona virus? 19 special next on dw, in the climate change the city what were the people here? what ideas do they have for their future?

d, w dot com megacity. the thing to do is click enter. mm mm. we're still learning about cove at 19. we know it came from an animal. does that mean they also need the jap out very friends can become carriers, amenities, and in rare instances is turning to a risk. corona's. me safari pack susan shelters have started a no q like a lions and wolves to protect us and the animals, the experimental vaccines is specifically made for them. conservationists say we brought in so now cells his respective nature,

hosting animals ever closer to humans. a team of experts made for the 1st time this week to help develop a global plan to stop the spread of diseases from animals to humans. meantime, russia has developed the 1st corona virus vaccine for animals. releasing an initial batch of 17000 doses. researches in finland and the us working on similar jobs. this cat is a pioneer all be at an unwilling one cache other cat is one of the 1st recipients of the 1st ever cove at 19 vaccine for animals. his owners, daniel, and say they signed up for the vaccination just to be on the safe side all on us. all our cat goes outside a lot. sometimes he doesn't even come home at night because he's doing his own thing, but he lives with us. so we're always concerned, he could bring an infection home with him. we plan to start

a family and heard that cove. it could be dangerous for pregnant women, so it's better to be safe. it doesn't hurt the cat just isn't look at the vaccine, will provide these cats with immunity from the corona virus for at least 6 months, according to the doctors here. so what would animal can show respiratory symptoms of the disease problems breathing a cough or a loss of their sense of smell? essentially, the symptoms are the same as they are for people just in a much, much lighter form, which i guess probably but it's not the symptoms themselves that are a concern here. the world health organization has warned that animals, including minx could become carriers for the corona virus and even pass it back to people. last year, 17000000 minks were cold in denmark, after some of them caught cove at 19 the russian made vaccine called carney vac called vent that according to developers,

the countries veterinary and agricultural watch dog crossing was not sore began trials on rabbits, dogs, cats, foxes, and other animals in october, now they say the job is ready for mass production. soon as much as i bought with the vaccine was developed as a preventative measure, something aimed at the future. in case there are negative situations like the development of a mutation that can be passed between different types of animals. we shouldn't forget that any measures for disease prevention for animals prevent people getting sick as well, because around 70 percent of human diseases come from animals. and you either go behind it or the vaccines developers say there has already been demand for the job from businesses in several european countries, including in germany are said it was not sore. recommends the vaccine for animals kept in close contact, including at for farms and zeus. they say that for now, pets like these cats are very unlikely to become a risk to their owners. tell us met and is president of the division of things

to jude. and we taking things a little too far. it's almost fascinating animals or is that the strategy that we may need to beat this pandemic? i think we have to define what animals we actually mean. if you talk about pets, for example, i mean pets get infected from their infected owners, but there is no single documented case that pets actually transfer the virus back to humans. the situation is different for, for producing and most like, for example, mnc. there are they infection in mnc farms originates from yeoman's, but then mink replicate the virus to a large extent and then are able indeed to re infect humans. so there are documented cases in that aspect when it comes to pen. how much of this is money maker would you say, and how much is essential in terms of pets? i think i mean, dan, that the prime procedure and not to infect them is to keep

a distance if you are infected yourself. so if you already are in isolation, then keep away from your pets as much as possible. i don't think there is an indication of from explanation of, of pets in terms of, for producing animals. the situation is a little different. there we have the possibility that the virus replicates growth in deep india farms to a very large extent. and this can suffice to then re infect humans. so, makes a nation in this particular setting might be one of the options. of course, they are autos and the preferred option for me at least would be mixing it humans into 1st place so that humans are not alone, no longer posing a danger for animals, whether they are pets or whether they are for producing animals. in for producing animals, we have seen the situation that the virus because it, it replicates, it multiplies so much, that variance gets elected. and some of these variance could, at least,

theoretically, indeed pose a problem. so there might also be an indication from x in eating, just kind of most to avoid the appearance of these variance. and a good point, we should think about the animals as well. of course, a lot of fun animals, they're all ready pumped with antibiotics to prevent the spread of diseases. and that's had all sorts of adverse effects on our health to i mean it and the situation with farm animals and corporate 19. there is no reason for concern as far as we can see, livestock and poultry are to a large extent or absolutely resistant towards this virus. at least this is true for, for picks, and it's true for a chicken and ducks and turkeys. cattle show, very, very limited to susceptibility which also does impose a problem at the moment. so i mean, in terms of that kind of animal,

i think we are on the safe side towards it. intervening in nature, in general, got us into this mess in the 1st place, couldn't more intervention, increased risk? i mean, viruses are part of nature and the function of ecosystems. i mean, it's true. viruses are proud of nature, and humans are proud of the animal kingdom in a shared environment. so basically, i'm, and this is what biology is all about. but on the other hand, i mean they have been interventions in was pub, wildlife populations that were beneficial. if you have a defined population and a defined pathogen, a defined infectious agent, this could work and examples are, for example, rabies, fox mediated freebies, which has been eradicated in century or by bait, immunization of foxes. classical fine fever has been eradicated from wild boar. also in central europe, i paid immunization and in the past has been eradicated globally. but i mean,

these are special situations and i fully agree. i don't think that vaccinating wildlife populations or any intervention and wildlife populations, gibson gives a better situation. i think, i mean, it's more the change of human habits which, which is required to avoid the spill over events, but even to spill over events that happened probably a regularly, also part of nature. we mentioned we should all get the job. a lot of us off is some other way we can change our behavior to lower this race. i mean, it's difficult to define clearly the interface between wildlife and humans or lifestyle and humans, but definitely lowering risky contexts, whatever they may be, is definitely one of the major meshes of a decrease in risk in general. this will also decrease, decrease the risk in this bill overs that is has to do with direct contact with

animals. it has to do with going into wildlife habitat to strongly interfering with wildlife populations interfering with bio diversity. so this is a whole range of measures that actually need to be taken into account to us by the night president of the ice. lovely institute. thank you very much for being on the show today. you are about com as far as vaccines for humans go. here's a good question for derrick williams. our sons correspondent. oh, can you mix doses of different succeeds? oh, circumstances are really kind of forced opinion to shift some on this issue. i can give you an idea of how complex it's become. let's look at the situation here in germany until a few weeks ago, mixing and matching vaccines was pretty for bowden here because the only safety

and efficacy data that we had came from trials involving 2 dose regimens of the same vaccines. and because diverging from that would mean sailing into kind of uncharted waters. then, very rare cases of serious blood clotting events, sought to be caused by the astrazeneca vaccine began popping up in the younger people. and that prompted of the work easier to reevaluate recommendations for people under 60, who had already received a 1st dose of astrazeneca and them for the 2nd administered toes. the authorities now recommend using a messenger r n. a vaccine like the one from visor by on tech, a brand new spanish study now indicates that that regimen is both safe and maybe even a lot more effective. but, and the weeks before those results came in,

the authorities had to make a choice, and they decided that one risk which in younger people is very rarely developing a serious blood clot after a 2nd dose of astrazeneca that, that outweighed the risk of mixing and matching vaccines, in general, most experts seem to think that receiving a follow up dose that's different from your 1st dose, shouldn't re pose major problems. still, health authorities are pretty conservative and they want really a lot of solid proof. a recent british study looking into some combinations, indicated that mixing and matching, while apparently safe, also sometimes provokes more side effects than 2 doses of the same vaccine. other studies looking at a range of different combinations or ongoing and we should know a lot more by this summer. in
