i'm, we're on the right track and i think we can see that way because of my divining, honestly, it's wonderful. we ways of the whole time for the pill, the open again. i mean on morning the bad weather kept a 2nd home for months, so we have to come here on day one of the reopening 5 that i talk i was denied because we gradually getting our old life back. and we're very happy about that. or those been like, if we keep sticking together, we'll wrestle this virus to the ground, you will need to. oh, and also on the day president joe biden signs into law, the hate crimes act falling with spates of hateful attacks on asian americans in the week of the corona virus pandemic. w news has to l. a. china town where people are putting their faith in the l. a. p. d,

the los angeles police department. it's very, very important. a committee to c, l a p d here. so communicate build baron l e p was here. they feel more comfortable and they feel more safer. so right now that's what all asian web read more about. the viewers on p b as in the united states and all around the world. thank you so much for your. well, as the day many germans have been waiting for, the cautious reopening of much of the country, germany's health minister, yes, fun declared. the 3rd wave which started back in february broken germany's efforts to overcome the corona virus seem to be paying off. well, the sharp fall in new coven infections in recent weeks means new hope. and the battle to be cove. it. mr. sponsor that the klein was down to both restrictions and vaccines. about 40 percent of people in germany have now received at least one dose . at easter, it was only 12 percent good,

but also the 3rd wave is broken soon. the combination of vaccinations and caution as still key to maintaining the trend. either if we keep brain down the number of infections in the coming weeks that increases the chances of a really good summer. and the head of germany is public health agency, the robert car institutes that, that reducing infections over the summer months would place the country in a good position to get through the fall and winter would be muslim. good. without the restrictions, the virus would spread again rapidly. the pandemic not over the danger has not been averted. let's use some as well as we can, and continue looking after each other game. well here in germany, long down restrictions are being eased in many cities, leaving people free to visit restaurants, museums and swimming pools. relax restrictions come just in time for the long holiday weekend with many hotels and camp sites. also allow the welcome guest who

have a negative cove in 1900 test or proof of vaccination. while i get more now from d. w chief, political correspondent, melinda crane. melinda, welcome to the day. good to have you with us. where are we finding you? i am at the proud to be a garden, which is one of the city's most traditional and most beloved beer gout. and there has been a beer garden on this site for nearly 200 years and rarely has it miss the opening of the summer season. rarely has it seen things as quiet over the past as over the past 12 months. so as you can imagine, there is a long line outside and a lot of good spirits inside. i big, big day for us here in berlin, our restaurants to in the german capital also open for the 1st time in 6 months. what's the mood like among the guess? i think what we've heard most often is at last. finally,

people are relieved. they say they feel free, they feel like things are getting back to normal again and, and essentially just a feeling that they have waited such a long time for this moment because as you know, we've had restrictions in place for many months now. many, many of the people here say they haven't been to this beer garden since last september. so a lot of people really joyous and ready to start enjoying the outdoors with a beer. did you get a feel of how ready people are to go back to how things were? are people really ready to be in a restaurant? again? we've asked a lot of people at the tables behind me, whether they in fact feel safe and secure. and really, the overwhelming majority said, absolutely, and that's because there are still a lot of restrictions in place that long line out in front. that's because you have

to have a negative corona test to even enter. and you're, it may look like it's pretty well visited behind you, but in fact, this is only half the number of tables they would normally have. and there are restrictions in place about how many people can sit at a table with only 5 people or 2 household allowed per table. and if you look carefully, you'll see that when people get up from the tables, they are mostly at least putting their masks on. that too is one of the rules that, that the city has put into place. so i know most people told us they're feeling safe, and that once they heard things were open again, some of them even took the day off to come here and say, they just hope this new normal will continue to talk about that melinda germany. cautiously, we opening what is guiding that process science or political realities. i would say both but very much the science. there are clear rules in place about what

will be allowed depending on the rate of infections. and in fact, we have seen infections decline precipitously within the last 10 days, a decline of nearly a 3rd and the rate of infection. so according to the set of rules in place, the country can now begin to cautiously relax some of the restrictions. and that absolutely is what we're seeing, that germany trajectory is headed in the right direction as you just outlined. but what about the overall numbers of illness and infection right now? right now we have an infection rate of $67.00 per 100000 residents. now that is way down compared to the high rates that we saw at times in the winter of close to $200.00. and. and we also are seeing a dramatic rise in the number of people who are vaccinated. 41 percent of germans.

now this weekend we're seeing a 1000000 vaccinations a week. that's 41 percent by the way. people have been vaccinated one time, but of course they do then have some protection. so definitely the numbers are trending in a good direction. and yet we have heard very clear warnings from health officials that people need to remain vigilant. people need to remain vigilant and those numbers. i mean, what's the chance that they could basically come back and bite officials say in 2 months time, or is the german health care system in better shape now? well, it's in better shape in the sense that we no longer see intensive care capacity stretch to its limits as it was at times steering the 3rd wave of infection. nonetheless, absolutely. this low could give way to a 4th wave. and official said today very clearly in their weekly press conference, both the country health minister and the head of the center for disease control

that they are concerned about a so called yo yo or boomerang effect. that if people let found their guard too much in their joy at this spring weekend, a relaxation of restrictions that we could see. infection rates rise, not least because both the british mutation and the indian variant are present in germany. and as we know, they are more infectious than the original corona variance. so people are vigilant, and people here whom we talk to, they said they are enjoying it, but they are not letting their guard down. nobody wants to see us go back, turn the lock down. nobody wants that. indeed. now, great news from restaurants, the conclusion, the hospitality businesses that have been close for for half a year. do these establishments think that they will be able to bounce back quickly . we talked to the manager here and she said, you know,

frankly we're taking this day by day we're seeing how things go. she's hopeful that when the european soccer championships, the euro 2021 come around that that may bring a whole lot of business with it. but all in all she said, you know, we just have to see how it goes. but she's very, very pleased that she's been able to take her staff off of short work. essentially the system that germany has to make sure people stay employed but work less hours. she's happy that they are now able to work full time once again and she said, she's cautiously optimistic, taking one step at a time. thank you so very much. melinda crane, d, w. t political correspondent, the residents in gaza. and israel have been marking the 1st day of peace after a relentless 11 day war, which cost hundreds of lies. while there were celebrations, garza,

the seas fire between israel and mos came into effects. the deal worker mostly by egypt carries no preconditions and leaves the conflicts she disputes unresolved. meanwhile, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has he'll be gaza offensive as an exceptional success. speaking just hours after the fire took effect, mister netanyahu warned garz's militant hamas molars against any further rocket attacks following the ceasefire. and he vowed to respond with quote, a new level of force against any expression of aggression against communities around garza and any other part of israel. i like to now welcome them for some analysis of the events, the historian, rashid khalidi edwards, the professor of modern arab studies at columbia university is written extensively on the palestinian struggle for statehood, including the 100 years war on palestine. sir, a very warm, a welcome, a fragile cease fire is holding,

at least at the moment in your assessment. how has promised come out of this conflict? i think this come out strengthened, but i think that if the action isn't taken to address some of the root causes that lead to this and that started around events into the mosque and the attempted dispossession of people in the neighborhood. this will just be a temporary halt and it won't really matter who came out ahead. as a result, if for example, the blockade is not listed, the miserable condition does not improve. there is no hope for this, these fire lasting any longer than the last one. they have many rounds of conflict and fighting and some are saying, well this time is different. do you feel that it's different this time or just more of the same? well i think the one difference is that people are realizing that the various issues relating to palestine and israel are interval related. the way in which

seems relatively entered the last stomach, her 3rd holiest mosque, and it's now firing here, got stronger at worshippers while they were praying during the night of one of the likely gone, i think, highlighted to people the balance of power. this involves the dispossession of people who had been made refugees in 948 or the attempt to dispossession of people in the neighborhood of jerusalem on the basis of claims that if things and, and making them for their properties. and they would never have been accepted by, as i think these kinds of things 1st seriously re tensions, obviously, and angered people. but i think also brought home certainly too many people in american public opinion around the world. the fact that these are, these are 3 lines that go back to 967 or 948. and these are things that really have

to be addressed. so i think there is a little bit of a change, certainly in american media and political discourse around palestine and israel. but is there enough of a significant change taking place? because as you know, for instance, the european union and the u. s. designate hamas as a terrorist organization. can you all i'm for? how is, how is how mos perceive in god and can you very briefly tell us its origin story? well, for stephen guys are right now as having resistance. it's doing much better than it was doing 3 weeks ago, 2 weeks ago there were some political commentators and suggested that if the election a massive president pos phone had been held this month, i must, might have walked in and sat there in the west bank. but i, i think that, that looking, it just had that as a quote unquote, terrorist organization pulled into a narrative which leads us away from the possibility of resolution. and the british would not talk to the,

nor in 1921 nor in northern ireland. when they finally did, those things could be all the clerk and the part the machine in south africa wouldn't talk to the amc. when they did that was resolved, it's going to be necessary to talk to all the housing argues, what do you like, what they do when they don't like, i like them? and i think there's demonization of whatever they may have done. the commission of war crimes, to indiscriminate use of weapons against civilian whatever, whatever the case may be. ultimately, if there's going to be a solution, the kinds of issues that have to be brought to the table have to be brought by all the people who are as well on both sides. things can say we don't like this is really government because it's for people who want to expel arabs from israel. but the israeli somehow get say we won't talk to this one. we won't talk to that one. they wouldn't allow for the longest time claiming there are terrorists. so i think that repeating that mantra is intended to prevent us from dealing with the issues

as intended to prevent a real serious attempt to end us in a satisfactory and adjust the way that involves equality. for most people prefer, what can we glean from the way that the by an administration has a handle to this crisis? i mean, we spoke about a potential a shift of policy. did you see any signs of a shift of policy? i don't think there was any ships of policy united states has intervened in earlier exchanges between us in much the same way using intermediaries like huge actions in particular. but also i think the difference in the united states is the, for the 1st time the president has come under serious pressure from a faction probably a minority, but nevertheless, a significant faction. within his own party, president obama did face in 2014 or in 2012, or in 2008,

2009 when just after it comes to office 2000. and so this, this mark something different and i think also the media has been different. i think you hear more policy and voices normally are not given permission to narrate level sites where you don't see things talking about what happens when we see israeli, israeli, or individuals how things are just a math during this round and starting and shift and with what happened in the last and finally what's happening to the 4 people of guys who according to the last numbers i 10242 were killed over 121 and children and old men and women. i think that the palestinian voice and some of the core issues have begun to get through the media. you're going to enter american political discourse and i think that puts some pressure on the presence of ration. so in conclusion,

what would make life better for people in gaza? well, what would make life better for everybody in palestine? and this would be a resolution of the conflict by addressing issues the united states is systematically avoided addressing. you don't deal with residues and don't deal with them and you don't deal with equal rights, then you are simply perpetuating the conflict. that's the 1st. and the 2nd thing would be to end the blockade. this could be done. this is an over human blockade. it was mounted starting in 2007 before anybody fired a rocket. so it is a political blockade implemented for political reasons, not just for security reasons. and it must be listed that by itself will change the discrete. but really basic abuses i think has to has to be what everybody who wants to end this probably has to address. but i see the edward is a professor of modern eric studies at columbia university. so we appreciate you coming on the show. thank you so much for having

o, too many asian americans. i've been waking up each morning this past year, genuinely, genuinely ferry for their safety. just open a door, walking down the street and safety for the love ones, the moms and dads, and a let her kids out the door to go to school or attacked. blame scape, go to harass during this pandemic, all of this hate highs in plain sight. it hides in plain sight, and too often it has met with silence, silenced by the media, silenced by our politics, silenced by our history. us president joe, by their signing into law of the hate crimes. the act of last year saw a dramatic rise in anti asian hate crimes and attacks in the united states. asian

american communities are raising the alarm and their organizing themselves. various police departments across the united states have set up asian, have chrome task forces, and many more have pledged to be more visible in the streets of predominantly asian american communities. stefan's mom brought us this report from los angeles. it's the beginning of a 10 hours shift for offices, if range to beta, and alex actually with the los angeles police department or l a. p d, the 2 seasons offices are foot patrols in china town. not just today, but every day for the last couple of months, the city was creek to commit to more boots on the ground here and in other predominantly asian american communities. i think it's very important right now. it just shows that when we come out here every day that we are here in support of them, asian american communities all over the united states want the support and the presence of police. this attack on a 65 year old asian woman in new york,

captured on surveillance video 2 months ago and many other unprovoked n t h. i hate incident since have many here in las china town and elsewhere. you know, i'm safe and on the edge, you know, it's all, all commute a little bit scared and everyone's kind of a little bit nervous. so like last week, the goal coming here with a long summer i and as soon we ask a question, she, we don't go closer. we call l p d right away. and within like 2 minute, they come right away and she ran out. however, this is this and residence here, hired a private security service that is also patrolling the community. they are afraid, the police won't always be able to protect us. changing that is falling to offices like f rain and alex relationship building is the name of the game. they're trying to make this a priority. as long as i've been on, we've always been trying to reach out to the community. it's just a matter of making this even bigger. we meet with britney o, in the park,

in san gabriel valley, or s t v, as it's residents call it. the valley has one of the largest asian populations in america, brittany, just co founder compassion, s g d, an initiative that of a chaperone services to vulnerable and elderly community members. i was honestly so devastated by all of the attacks that carrying about even a neighboring attack man was waiting at a bus stop and was attacked and lost part of a finger like it was just getting way too close to home. that was just 3 months ago . and now she's making an impact, running an organization with $200.00 volunteers. impressive. yes. but i really hope that these attack stop, so we don't have to keep offering these free chaperone services, which we're happy to offer during these times. right now, like it's crucial. but i hope that we don't have to keep doing this because that would mean that the attack would stop for the time being dope, britney and gabriel valley and police officers f rain and alex in los angeles,

are all trying their best standing against anti asian hate crimes and graces sports news now for you in germany is going to sleep. soccer season wraps up on saturday after a strange campaign with no fans. corona virus, quarantines and coaches announcing job changes, left right and center. one thing has remained constant, though by munich are still champions, while their world a player of the year rob 11 dusky, has not stopped score. he has equal the legal record of 40 goals in a campaign and can break it if you scores in the season. and they're against oaks berg is he can do it, mark craig from dw for drink me now to talk about the last of the points lead season. so good to have you here. mark in person can live and dusky break his own record certainly should certainly have ruined. it would be a surprise if he doesn't play an oak stork. as you mentioned, x burger,

a med table team with nothing to play for live and everything to play for. for this record, it looks effect a complete, but there is one little spot in the works. and so what the, the man that rock 11 dog ski emulated 4 and his 40 goals was get miller 972 have just so happens that gap. mueller is the favorite player of oaks books coach. he was marcus by fuels idle as a child, and he said he's going to do everything within his power to stop living dusky from breaking his heart and breaking the record. so he said we could buy mar, we could play 5 defenders. all this kind of stuff, so he's going to do his best to still live in dub sky, but i wouldn't bet against the pool now. i definitely work against them. indeed, musical. and then the chairs, dance is taking place. lots of coach changes in the opponents like we can tell us about that. yeah, i think there's a lot of clubs that struggled the season briskly dockman shall care of abilene and

i think they've used the coaching change as the kind of kick start the season for summer work. there is a document that works. shaka, they had more coaches than points nearly and plummeted into the 2nd division. so for some, it's worked for some 400 flick main coaching change by munich coach. and he said he's going to leave at the end of the season. that was to do with problems with the hierarchy. it didn't go on. he said, you know, of 17 trophies in 18 months. see later, i'm going to take the germany job and not pay the way for the biggest story of the season, which is, you know, goes monday, the lights, the coach. he's taken over, he's already going to take over at the end of the season. but he's focus more on his own players have done this season. so let's hear what he had to say about putting up any sort of reading with me. i'm happy with the legacy which myself and my coaching team are leaving behind. i think the lights it guys have really developed and have enjoyed our way of playing football. all right, and that does it for us america. mark corrigan, thank you so much from

a cease fire here. hopefully there'll be peace in the country. so i'm sick of this mess will color, but i got another yes, it's a kind of piece for now. fragile, but one that wouldn't need much to be shattered. the . and we can go now to a semi circle. he is the freelance journalist in jerusalem. he's actually at the damascus, damascus gate rather in east jerusalem. semi a good to have you with this. a fragile truce is holding for now are the expectations that it will stand yes, indeed, the especially after the classes that we've seen are all the luck. some also. busy and the demonstration that i've been as throughout the west, by maybe nearly

a 100 students were wounded once ration. nevertheless, this day has passed. and we haven't heard any one of the party saying that this will bring about the collapse of this fire. so it seems to be finding the parties are saying that they're going to adhere to this fire. but of course, at time time will turn time will in detail. in the meantime, of course, both sides are claiming a victory, and we've heard from her master leader is smell. he who spoke about the sci fi year . what will tell us about what he said? yeah. will a smile. let me a was saying that this of course was a victory for the palestinian resistance. he was also fine king of the neighboring countries that were helping with reaching this fire,

especially in egypt. and he was also fine king the radians for their military assistance. do something that we don't hear about the often from hamas leaders. and he pointed out that this time the policy is where you might did that. you had both palestinians in gaza, the west find for the students inside israel. and they were all united. and i must tell you that the feeling amongst all the students is a feeding of victory. i've been speaking for people in the streets here at east jerusalem and they feed victories. they feel that hamas has actually sold for the, for the cause of jerusalem stood for the cause. not only of the luck, some also, but also for those who are living in ross and who are threatened with evictions, either the palestinian families living in you through them that are threatened with eviction. they brought up this issue and did the, the other, how the israelis,

they have more mixed feelings about this, whether it actually was a victory or whether they should have continued with a campaign or what we still actually, i'd like you to continue on that noted what has been the reaction in from the israeli leadership and among israeli people. we've got 30 seconds. yes. well i can tell you that leaders have been saying we're talking about the defense minister and nathan. yeah. whole and others have been saying that is one has achieved a lot in this campaign. but the sense among many israelis was that is where i was stop is where i could have continued with this campaign. and there was actually a popular support for continuing that campaign, especially among the residents who live in the south of israel. and even the head of these really secret services says that the result was not that could clues to victory semi so called reporting from right outside to damascus gate in east

jerusalem. thank you for your coverage now, leaders from b. g, 20 group of industrial and emerging countries of how the virtual summit and the boosting access to corona virus of axis producers pledge billions of doses to low and middle income countries by the end of next year. europe in union also promised invest in local vaccine production in africa to reduce dependence on imports. scenes from uganda. a few days ago, the scenes are being rolled out in developing countries. but these images obscure the fact that only a 3rd of the few vaccine deliveries plant have even arrived only now as the g. 20 group of key industrialized nations holding a summit to discuss the pandemic italy, the current share rate, the issue of global vaccine inequity. only 0.3 percent of them are low income countries while reach countries have administered around 85 percent of

them. and countries such as the us have use their vaccine production almost exclusively for their own population. experts warn them without comprehensive vaccinations and all countries. new mutations may continue to evolve. pharmaceuticals companies pledge to provide 2600000000 vaccine doses to developing countries by the end of 2020 to the european union, also plans to donate doses your tireless team. europe aims that donating at least 100000000 doses to low and middle income countries. by the end of 2021. observers expect no direct call for a patent waiver at the summit, as us president biden had urged, it may be that with a plan of billions of vaccine doses producers hope to ward off more talk of lifting patent protections. art we can take, you know, to room to d, w,

wrestles birth chief alexander of anom and who is covering the g 20 summit of for you alex? good to see you. somebody is also about the lessons learned from the coven pandemic . what are they? in particular, well, i think that during the pandemic, that gee, 20 nations nations realize how important it is to provide sustainable, sustainable financing for their health systems. they also learn how essential it is to mobilize enough resources, resources for scientific development and research. but i think what was the most important issue here in rome was that by coming together and by participating in this, some of the g 20 leaders wanted to demonstrate that they want to work closely together again, that multilateralism is back, that no one can take on the pandemic alone, and that is probably why lafond ally in the european commission and president

describe this summit as a milestone. but let's have a listen to what she had to say. yes, this was the very 1st time that the g 20 has ever dealt with the issue of health in a broader sense in the pandemic and government leader level and the leadership. and the result is unique, as all these parties of the us, china, new, russia, latin america, south africa, and others, were able to unite behind principles unable to find into the 1st principle. was it clear commitment to multilateralism? that is, rejecting export limits and vaccine nationalism international. this was secondly, a clear commitment to what we call one health one. that is, that we've understood that a loss of biodiversity and climate change contributed to the spread of the pandemic near board. and what that means that people have expanded into wilderness areas

under the ice diminished as light in. and thirdly, a clear commitment to getting better at fair distribution of vaccines around the world. we had him stuff in the h for time and that was that the commission president to speaking earlier, alexandra, did they share also a concrete timeline? when can people in africa and latin america expect these extra vaccines to arrive? well actually that is what i ask will do not fund a lion as well, but she didn't provide us with a specific timeline. she just once again reiterated that the dozes that the european union is pledging to donate will be donated until the end of this year. that is apparently also the case with the $1300000000.00 doses that pharmaceutical companies such as buy on tech more there are now. and johnson and johnson has

promised to produce specifically for low and middle income countries. and in the long term, of course, we have to say that it's important for africa, for example, to be able to produce thick scenes by themselves. because currently africa only produces one percent of the vaccines. the continent needs alex phenomena reporting a from a room. thank you. very much and here and the jury long down restrictions are being eased in many cities, leaving people free to visit restaurants, museums and swimming pools health minister against spawn. says the 3rd wave of infection has been broken though he's urging people at the same time to remain cautious the relax restrictions come just in time for the long holiday weekend. and d, w. a chief political correspondent elena crane, has visited a beer garden for us in the heart of berlin. i'm here at one of germany's most

traditional and most beloved b r got, and there's been a beer garden on this side for nearly 200 years. and rarely has it seen a period of such prolonged quiet as the past 12 months. there's a long line out in front to get in. and if us people hear how they're feeling, nearly all of them, say relieved at last. we feel free. we feel like things are getting back to normal . they also say they feel safe because there are still a number of restrictions in place. if you look at the tables behind me, they're space quite far apart. this is only half the number of cables that would normally be here. everyone here had to show proof either a vaccination or of a negative corona test to get in. and if they get up from their tables, they need to wear a mask. nonetheless, health authorities here in germany are saying people must remain cautious. vaccination rates are going up. infection rates are going down,

but the new and more infectious variance of corona are present here in germany. so the officials say people need to keep their guard up or this summer season could come to an abrupt and and it does it for me. thank you so much for your company. stick with us. next is steven beardsley with your business and asked to use people in trucks injure i was trying to see the city center more and more refugees are being turned away. family seems to be crated own and traitors. people seeing extreme around getting 200 people around more than 300000000 people are seeking why?

apple. c o, tim cook defended his company's take control of its app marketplace from a california courtroom friday saying strict rules benefited both users and developers. cook is the final witness in a lawsuit, filed against apple bi developer epic games it legends that apple's acting as a monopoly. walling off 3rd party app stores and impasse in purchases to protect its own profit at the expense of developers. last year, apple boosted rather booted ethics app from a store after finding it offered in app purchases. all right, let's go now to our financial correspond in new york young quarter with more. yes, good to you. what is this lawsuit all about? what's, what's, what are the stakes of it? i should ask well, actually some call it tim the battle of the agents because clearly this is not just about epic games and apple, this is about the future. so how do you distribute the money that people spend on

those platforms like the store? so it's, it's going to be telling how this trial is going to and what other companies and other platforms also might do in the future. one thing is also a clear, whoever wins this trial, the losing party will go into appeal. but this definitely goes far beyond just a little dispute between 2 and general a 1000000000 dollar, but multi 1000000000 dollar company in the argument by cook that everyone benefits from apple strict controls is that convincing? well i mean what kim cook definitely going to keep saying is that it's important to have the app store controlling basically everything. so it's better for the privacy for security, for safety. and if you look at malware, for example,

apple devices in comparison to other companies, it's actually it. so it seems to be being a pretty a well, but the question is how much do you pay for it? i mean those 30 percent that will take from some of those developers and seems to be pretty high. apple says, well, they do need the money to make sure that the privacy and safety and so on, it's going to be guaranteed. so. but on the other side, and that was what the epic games saying are claiming that the margins of thought that stores for apple r at around 80 percent apple is saying, well, they do not really know how much money they make with the store. but well, that's definitely also debate if 30 percent isn't too lofty. one final word, we will probably hear the final hearing on monday. and then the judge already

said that it might take weeks or maybe even months before we will get a final verdict. alright, we'll be watching those arguments as well. next weekend quarter in new york. thank you very much. let's just shift gears. vaccine makers have pledge 3 and a half 1000000000 doses of the corona virus shot to middle and low income countries . in an effort to address the uneven distribution of vaccines around the world, pfizer and biotech, promising 2000000000 doses over the next 18 months. well, there's another 1000000000 johnson johnson. meanwhile, 500000 advisors, there's some doses will be delivered via the international kofax facility. others through bilateral agreements pledges came in a joint g 20 organized summit, which heard that 80 percent of vaccinations so far have been a wealthier nation's or less than one percent. or in low, low income nation's pressure has been growing on governments to wave vaccine patton's pressure that only grew earlier this month. when u. s. president joe biden to his week behind the idea. but pat waiving was not on the agenda for the summit participant calling instead for more voluntary licensing

from drug makers and more assistance for manufacturers in poor countries. financial pledges also featured big summit, the e u, promising $1000000000.00 in investment for manufacturing. china, offering it $3000000000.00 in a developing countries or the next 3 years. while the pandemic has turned this, the disposable mass into a part of everyday life, 129000000000 of them are thrown away every month. that's an estimate by the american chemical society. but is there a marketable after life for the mask? here's what recycling firms, say. french recycling firm trio and greenwich has initially isolates the discarded single use mask it collects for a week for hygiene. friends recycling company charges a monthly fee for collecting the mask from clients, including hospitals and companies like single ball and tv channels, half after that they get disinfected and then shredded to extract polypropylene which has been used to make flow carpets and plastic parts for cards. the only trouble that the company country cycle fast enough,

all calls that we think we can process up to $1520.00 tons a year, which is a lot, but not a huge on a national scale because they are 40000 tons of them daily. you all get fountain, but rule. it's a drop in the ocean for an ever growing problem. across the pond, us from tara cycle is also in the recycling business. and while the amount of disposable personal protection equipment, p, p, and masks has exploded during the pandemic, recycling them isn't big business. right? so why an aluminum can is recyclable, is because the value of the aluminum is so high that it's more than the cost of collection and processing and so it can be offered to you for free. but why is say, for example, a dirty diaper or p p e, not recyclable? it because it costs much more to collect and process and the results are worse. so tara cycle offers business customers, containers for used mask for fee for them to be recycled. that business model

allows parasite to pass on the recycling cost to customers, but it's not compelling enough for the lighter population. we're still preferred to dispose of masks and other protective gear for free. despite the environmental cost and the potential to get creative with a recycled material like this when mo bench let's take a look down some other business stories making headlines. offer sharing startup. we were reportedly lost more than $2000000000.00 in the 1st quarter of 2021. partially due to high costs related to an upcoming stock market listing. demand for services, however, has risen significantly and tops pre pandemic level. that according to the company, mobile world congress, the telecom industry, the biggest trade event, will be held in barcelona next month. after the cobra, 1900 panoramic derailed it's 2020 event. the 2021 event will be a mix of in person and online activities. it's expected to draw $30000.00 visitors

northern germany will dispose of it over the next few weeks. it's managing director says they deal with hazardous waste like this every day of their industrial chemicals and household chemicals like industrial hydro, clark acid, but also nail polish remover toilet cleaner and other substances. they seek out uncontrollably and mixed together. we sorted them according to laboratory analysis and repackaged them upon a loosen is a lot of noise up on in august 2020, a devastating explosion ripped across the port of the route and much of the city. the destination killed more than 190 people. an injured over $6000.00 large areas of the port and nearby residential areas were completely levels. the conditions at the country's main harbor work had struck huge quantities of toxic and highly flammable substances were stored without any regard for safety. german experts analyzed the residues with a mo, by a laboratory,

classified them and then packed them in containers. since they couldn't dispose of the toxins on site, they were sent to germany. initially, the containers will be stored at williams harvard in the village of v, fails. after that, they are toxic contents will be destroyed by using things like high temperature furnaces. odo kramer has founded us citizens initiative. he's afraid of having the toxins so close to the village. he feels badly informed and doesn't believe a landfill is suitable for the poisonous cargo. when our fears are ultimately the middle promo that's arriving here with so few eric acid, hydro clark acid hydro floor cas it in. so on. what quantities are we talking about? is v as even designed for that. are there any floor plans here for extraction systems? is the fire department involved is the civil protection involved. and we're the, we asked toxic waste expert month for exam 10. from greenpeace. he thinks disposal

is a good idea. imagine what would have happened if it was left in lebanon. then it's certainly better to have these materials properly evaluated, as they did, than packaged and sent here to be properly disposed of about proceeding on here. but john gene also says germany can solve the waste problems of an entire region. the 3000000 euros needed to dispose of this waste came from the port of bay route and the european union. and finally, europe has been gradually reopening in recent weeks. and it was joined by many parts of germany on friday. for example, the country's biggest amusement park europa park is now welcoming visitors again, all eager for an actual rollercoaster. right, and not just the roller coaster ride. it's been the past year. cafes and restaurants can now offer outdoor seating and outdoor swimming pools. also back provided show negative francesco
