go iran center and i'm drawn a company along with his israeli counterpart mosse visited a residential building that was destroyed by a rocket, fired by come us later today, the german foreign minister is expected to meet palestinian president mahmoud abbas . and for more, i'd like to welcome and now we're my see on the 5th kia, who in jerusalem, she's a director of the program on israel, europe relations at mit, vin, the israeli institute for regional foreign policies. a very good day miss. thank you for your time. now your think tanks, mission i'm told, is to improve israel's foreign policy, promote israel's regional belonging in the middle east, europe and the mediterranean, and advanced israeli. palestinian peace is the current violence that's playing out in the, in the region. a said back for your efforts to achieve that objective. well, good evening. i'm absolutely, this is the quite

a setback for israeli. our relations in general. it both internally israel and also our external relations, but have just developed in the past year with you are countries such as the united arab emirates, they've been morocco and even, you know, a chance to make the peace process with jordan and egypt a better one. and the warmer peace relations and also with the union. our relations have probably the theory i think in almost every aspect we see the state of affairs, harmony, israeli foreign policy. we were in a different place 2 weeks ago. and i'm really happy to see the foreign minister from the you said from the check public bucket coming over. but i have also to correct one message that you gave me introduction. and obviously it was protect itself by firing deck to help to master the got 3 commodities.

also had been firing many, many rockets today to the south red and other cities. so this is a back and forth artillery of rockets. if i very much hope we come to a quick end in the next day or 2, i just want, you know, my, we did say in our top israel keeps up. it's a sofa and gas and hamas fires more rockets into israel. so we do attempt always to be balanced and we do mention that how much i sent in a rockets. i want to pick up on something that you mentioned. the abraham, of course, which were of course, held as this huge success. and they were normalizing relations with some golf countries, as you alluded to morocco and su, done, it was almost a dawn of a new era. and there was the sense that the palestinian question, you know, could be put on the back burner. it didn't really animate any one is what we're seeing unfolding right now. a reminder that unless the palestinian question

is resolved, it's going to be very difficult. i completely agree with you, but we have to differentiate between different damian's between the authority with whom you can negotiate the process. and i very much hope that the new government is well, we put it on the table. we must do such a thing and complete such a process. this will be to the benefit of where we very and this is how i can help them between things. but we have to differentiate between base and how much, how much is not an organization. it's tara is ation. that is what cannot do. negotiation with europe in countries do not go directly or do not talk directly to us because they do that their organization. so yeah, i completely agree with you and very much hope so that they use really government and the government would hold would renew the middle east. i don't see it taking

place. this harsh off of sort of a mini war is actually making the public opinion both in the road, but both also in the student authority, much more negative to such a process. there is really despair, despair from not renewing them in the process, especially i guess in the it's already i'm not both person, but i've heard that this is the case. public opinion. i mean, the, well, you know, such hatred both internally would be it's really our of and also we'd be able to come up to everyone in the nation. this dr. israelis and palestinians, part and also the wife is ready and our ups part, my se, on that cpr who a director of the program on israel europe relations at mid vim, the israel institute for regional foreign policy. thank you very much for your time . thank you. ok,

you cut off now with some of the other stories the making. the headlines this, our a large wildfire in greece has destroyed homes and forced evacuations. the blazes 70 kilometers west of the capital, athens and close to a popular tourist resort. authorities ordered the evacuation of 18 settlements and to monasteries. there are no reports, imagery, flood warnings are in place across the south central united states. after days of heavy rain storms have already caused flooding in texas and louisiana and cut power to thousands of households. the bad weather is forecast that continue throughout the weekend. police in belgium has stepped up there, man hunt for a heavily armed soldier with far right views, who they say poses an acute threats. the suspects went into hiding after removing weapons from barracks and he made threats to several public figures including a renown corona virus export or invest in breaking news to tell you about now the

european union leaders have just moments ago agreed on a new white cove at 19 vaccine passport scheme, mouthful, but it is hoped that the so called green certificate will give a much needed boost to the travel season coming up the summer. as you know, by waving warranty requirements for some people, the document will sit with her person has been vaccinated, tested negative, or recently recovered from the corona virus. all right, let's get you some more details on the said breaking development. i think we can go to russell's to my colleague garrett, mother, our correspondent, they're gay or alright. well laid out for us. so what has been decided? it has indeed been decided which is quite a breakthrough because there was some, some deep router over the fine print off this certificate as it is called. and

here's the 1st new fact that has come to light. it's no longer called the digital green certificate, but it is now called the e u corporate 19 a certificate that is been compromised, made by member states towards the parliament. the other 2 main sticking points where the availability of tests that they are cheap enough for everyone to get a test and hands get the certificate. so that has been apparently settled. and the 2nd question was that if there are additional restrictions. so if you have that, you have been for instance, double vaccinated that you have the past and still member states could use restrictions and say you still have 2 current time. then the demand from the parliament was that there should be a national you white measures that apply to everyone so that it is transparent for you citizens. whether they can travel with that document to put in a particular place or enter a restaurant, for instance. all right,

they need to come up with a, catch your name, a k arca. all right, so what does this mean for, for people who want to travel this summer to europe, for instance, it basically means for your appeal that now there is a framework which will be a digital pass. so technically everything is sorted out. now there is the green light from all the you institutions and the member states. you need them all on board to have this. and it basically means that there is a framework to travel. what exactly you can do with this document is up to member states. so whether you will be allowed to dine inside that remains to be seen also, whether it will apply for people coming from outside from some countries to you. whether they will also receive a document like that, that is also on here as yes. all right, they still need to resolve that gay or mark this reporting from brussel. thank you so very much. ok, let's take a look at some of the other developments in the pandemic. the european union has

signed a new deal with by on tech pfizer to secure an extra $1800000000.00 doses of the cobra, 1900 vaccine, the doses will be supplied from 2021 to 20. $23.00 in a study in britain says, 2 doses of astrazeneca vaccine are 89 percent effective against the symptomatic disease. it's the 1st study of its kind of 2 doses in a real world setting and a company. brazil has completed production of its 1st batch of rushes, put nic v. vaccine vaccine will be exported to countries in south america. a german soldier suspected of plotting against the prominent politicians while posing as a syrian refugee goes on trial today known as their franco a. he's accused of stockpiling weapons and planning serious acts of violence. the high profile case has raised concerns over right wing extremism in the military. never had the trial opening, franco,

a proclaimed his innocence in front of the press. he denies the charges leveled against him by the prosecution. to unplug it, we have an indictment that deals with an offense, preparing and active violence that endangers the state of i taught for years franco . a lead a double life. while working as a soldier for the german armed forces, he registered himself as a syrian refugee. prosecutors accused him of planning attacks on high ranking politicians with the intention of blaming them on migrants and asylum seekers. my, my aunt had this my client dressed as an immigrant. i can't see anything in that. that's dangerous to the end of what i do see as a danger to the status when parts of the government and work together with the criminal. and that has unfortunately happened here. some of them was up. i'm on,

does legacy and franco. a faith is up to 10 years in prison. a trial is expected to last until august. today is world to be day which marks the birth of be keeping pioneer on time young shot in slovenia, nearly 3 centuries ago. or bees are fight or vital rather to food supplies. pollinating, many of our fruits and vegetables that you see on our daily menus. but united nations of warns be, and other pollinators face a range of threats, including the size intensive, farming and climate change. while today, almost one 3rd of the b and butterfly species face extinction. well, the world an enormous iceberg has broken from an ice shelf in on tarka. the iceberg is the biggest in the world. the european space agency says it's slightly larger than the spanish island of new york. i believe

a split was cause naturally, rather than as a result of global warming. this is due to renewed life from berlin up next cove at 1900 special edition. walk in berlin on behalf of all of us here. thank you very much for your company. we hope to see you again. it's somebody else the me to fight against the corolla virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection in developing? what does the research information and contact the corona virus because the 19 special next on dw will use crime fighters are back africans. most radio drama continues this

season. the story focus on have speech, cholera, prevention and sustainable charcoal production. all episodes are available online and of course you can share and discuss on c, w, africa's facebook page, and other social media platforms. crime fighters to noon now. ah ah. in westfield learning about covet 19. we know it came from an animal. what does that mean? they also need the jap out very friends can become carriers of the disease. and in rare instances, turn into a risk for owners me safari pot, susan shelters have started a no q lighting

a lion and wolves to protect us and the animals experimental vaccines are specifically made for them. me conservationists to say we brought this on our health, my out this respective nature, forcing 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 josephs, researches in finland and the us working on similar jobs. this cat is a pioneer all be at an unwilling one cash. the cat is one of the 1st recipients of the 1st ever cove at 19 vaccine for animal is owners. daniel and l. v are they? 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 is believed and 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 animals 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 with experiment probably. but it's not the symptoms themselves that are a concern here. the world health organization has ones 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 could prevent that. according to developers, the country's veterinary and agricultural watch dog russell 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. what name is mentioned that a lot of 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, bodies, you either go behind it or what the vaccines developers say. there has already been demand for the job from businesses in several european countries,

including in germany, prostate 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. told us mit and like a is president of the division of the institute. 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 we talk about pets, for example, i'm in 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 the most like, for example, mnc. there are the 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 pets. how much of this is money maker would you say, and how much is essential in terms of pets? i think i mean, dad, that the prime procedure and not to infect them is to keep a distance if you are infected yourself. so if you are, are in isolation, then keep away from your pets as much as possible. i don't think there is an indication of products in nation of, of pets in terms of for producing animals. the situation is a little different. there we have the possibility that the virus replicates grows in deep in these farms to very large extend and this can suffice to then re infect humans. so, vaccination 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 mixed in as humans in the 1st place. so that humans are not alone, no longer posing

a danger for any most, whether they are pets or whether they are for producing animals. in for producing and the most be have seen the situation that the virus because it, it replicates it multiplies so much at variance get selected. and some of these variance could, at least, theoretically indeed pose a problem. so there might also be an indication from x in this kind of, most to avoid the appearance of the use variance. and a good point, we should think about the animals as well. of course, a lot of farm animals. they are 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 a pix, and it's true for a chicken and ducks and turkeys. cattle show very, very limited to susceptibility which also doesnt post 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 initiate environment. so basically, i mean, this is what biology is all about. but on the other hand, i mean they have been interventions in wild pub, wildlife populations that are 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 babies,

which has been eradicated in century or by bait, immunization of foxes. classical find fever has been eradicated from wild boar. also in central europe, i paid immunization, and ruined the past has been eradicated closely. 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, gifts and 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 happen probably a record, a li, are also part of nature. well, you 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, of a decrease in risk in general, just for all to decrease, decrease the risk in these 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 for us by tonight, president of the nice, lovely institute. thank you very much for being on the show today. you are about com as far as vaccines for humans go. he is a good question for derrick williams. our phones correspondent. oh, can you mix doses of different circumstances are really kind of forced opinions 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 bad would mean sailing into kind of uncharted waters. then, very rare cases of serious blood clotting event sought to be caused by the astrazeneca vaccine began popping up in younger people. and that prompted the worthies here to reevaluate recommendations for people under 60, who had already received a 1st dose of astrazeneca and them for the 2nd administer dose. the authorities now recommend using a messenger

r n. a vaccine like the one from pfizer by on tech. a brand new spanish study now indicates that that regimen is both safe and maybe even a lot more effective. but in 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 stud a 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, we should know a lot more by the summer. in derek williams. there i'm ben fizzle and thanks for watching. stay safe and see you again. ah, the news, the news? the news,

the news, the the, the the ah ah understand that that's hard and in the end, if you are not allowed to be anymore, we will send you back. are you familiar with these lions? what's your story. ready ready wasn't women, especially victims and sign and date part of your story

chain. always understand this new culture. so you are not a visitor and again, you want to become citizen into migrants. your platform viable information. oh, i visited up the news aisha coming up today in the us digital divide. it's colbert 19 vaccination. dr. large numbers of indians gone for just for jobs because they're back intimate access and don't speak english is india vaccine registration system exclusionary but office plus bridge. germany also to recycle of god interpreters work. but it's been a treat many of price attacks by the taliban after western to withdraw and

yes to the.
