when he and his supporters called the corona virus, the chinese virus or the con flu. they were laughed often accused of spreading fake news, but suddenly more and more evidence seems to be emerging that the virus could indeed have originated in a laboratory in china and not from mother nature. us president joe biden has now order his intelligence services to urgently look into the origins of the global pandemic. and nothing will be ruled out. i've got office in berlin, this is the day the, the we need to find out how, where the 1900 originated from. i have always said that the high likelihood is that this is a natural occurrence, but we don't know 100 percent. the answer to that, how many immersed some people in the us are spreading conspiracy theories and this information such as a laboratory leak. i can tell you that there is

a significant amount of evidence that this came from that laboratory and why we need to the bottom of this. and we need a completely transparent process from china. also on the day, the e. u titans, the economic screws on barrows, ministers, prepared tough new sanctions of the country force a passenger jet, carrying a dissident journalists to lot justify the actions we've seen from lucas jenko and bella. ruth had a terroristic character. it was so unacceptable that we're not ruling anything out . let's hope mr hours with the world until us on p b. s in the united states and all around the world. welcome. and we start in the united states where president joe biden has ordered intelligence officials to redouble efforts to find the origins of the coven 19 pandemic. that includes invested the theory that the virus leaked from a recess lever,

laboratory and whoo hon. china. a joint w h. o investigation has already dismissed that theory as highly improbable, but biden, once the new entail report to make its own assessment and be delivered within 90 days. washington says badging is to be more open about the corona virus outbreak while trying to accuse us the biden administration. playing politics, you know, china wasn't transparent enough. we have been saying that for very long time by china, i needed to provide more access to the lab corporate more fully with the scientific investigators. and we don't think that they have met that standard. the tumors will need to show that the us does not care about factual truth and has 0 interests in a serious science by study of origins. their aim is to use the pandemic tissue, stigmatization political manipulation and blame shift plays up once dismiss outright. the theory of

a lab league who han has regained traction in recent days will speak to a leading us for ologist in just a moment. but 1st, discussed some background on was an institute of virus ology houses the big as far as bank in asia. it's a maximum security buyer. lab. 3 research is fill in november 2019, and we'll hospitalized with flu like symptoms, weeks before the 1st identified case of the coven 19 outbreak. the wall street journal is the 1st to publish the new details. quoting a us intelligence report. the hypothesis is that the virus spread to humans after lab accident 2 weeks ago, 18 prominent scientists wrote a letter to the journal science calling for a new investigation into the origin of cove at 19 every laboratory in the world, including our very own cdc and high containment laboratories in the united states.

they all have had laboratory accidents, laboratory accident shop and everywhere there it humans, humans are fallible. so it's absolutely reasonable to think that some other laboratory also had an accident. not least because the war hand institute studied corona viruses and their transmission through betts china has dismissed the lead league theory. it says reports of 3 sick researches or like you and maintains there was 0 infection among the stuff being unusual. after months of the go see ations, china are allowed to affect funding mission led by the world health organization to travel to hand more than a year after the pandemic outbreak, the panel concluded that the virus probably originated in bets and past the humans are an intermediate animal, the laboratory incidents and i put in this is extremely unlikely,

but some team members complain that they were denied sufficient access to data by the chinese authorities. now the united states is calling for new investigation, one that reaches a definitive conclusion. from all this i'm now joined by william schaffner, is a professor of preventive medicine and infectious diseases at vanderbilt university medical center. only a few weeks ago, a lot of people would have dismissed this as a conspiracy theory. what's changed? well, what's changed care how? exactly as you are set up piece showed you. those reports of 3 people investigators in the laboratory who had an influenza like illness. could this have been coded? we don't know, but that has certainly re stimulated the conversation. and it's really quite clear we should, we, the world's community should have a thorough and careful, transparent investigation of those events. but we will only have that if the

chinese play bowl don't weigh. i mean, how can us authorities find out for themselves? well, i'm just a country doctor, i'm not a part of the intelligence community. maybe those people know some things we don't . but i would hope that we could persuade the chinese to actually open up because it is the entropy of interest historically. and also because a pandemic occurred, we ought to have a clear understanding of what happened to the degree that we can. we never may be able to pin it down exactly what we should try. what in your professional opinions to the best of your knowledge, how plausible is this theory that the virus leaked from the chinese? the oratory? well, once again, as you're set up, he said, yes, laboratory accidents do occur. so that's plausible. personally, i think it was mother nature. you know, corona viruses had twice before,

jumped species murders and also sars. and there are many other viruses, influenza h, r, the west nile seeker, the boa that come from the animal kingdom and cause large outbreaks among humans. so i'm in favor of mother nature, but i have colleagues who are more suspicious about laboratory actions. so do you think president biden is rights to, to set up this new investigation? yeah, again, i think it's the right thing to do. we need to give it a try. and again, i would hope to chinese participate with us because the world's community would really like as much as possible to find out what happened. you know, if we did find out it was a laboratory accident. then under the aegis of the world health organization, we ought to go out and institute even better training and more stringent requirements for

a laboratory infection control. so let's say the virus indeed, if it comes out, the virus indeed came from a live in china. does that mean that this pandemic just got a lot more finish to the thing? well, his sinister aspect has to do with the question of bio warfare. and this would have been a very done engine for a come for a country to use his bio warfare. because you shoot yourself on the 4th, it blows back on your own people. you cannot control a respite oratory virus and one that so easily transmitted. so i don't think anybody who makes a bio warfare weapon would choose a corona virus because you can't control it. so you said it is very unlikely that will ever be able to pinpoint this exam exact origin of as far as that did i get you right? well, i'm a little bit skeptical. it's been

a long time. who knows what records are gone now? we still don't know whether there will be complete transparency, but i think we ought to try. it's in the interest of history. it's in the interests of good infection control. and we have to remember when it comes to pandemic, no matter what our political system. we're all in this together, your people, my people, the people in other countries were all subject to viruses. it's the virus that the enemy. let's concentrate on working together to keep pandemic from happening. williams, half, not expert on infectious diseases that vanderbilt university medical center. joining us on national, thank you jim duck and that new investigation ordered by the biden administration has also prompted a change in facebook's policy. in february,

the social media companies started removing posts that promoted the lab origin theory. now it's reversed that decision. facebook says it's keeping pace with the evolving nature of the pandemic and updating its policies as new facts emerged, but some use us we have to angrily to this about turn columnist can black hole tweets my facebook page was punished for sharing. this was a leak theory, months ago, so much for the fact jacket checkers director. evan. greer's says facebook reversal makes it clear how arbitrary and ineffective these rules can be. and journalist glen greenwald, writes major media outlets spend a year demonizing the lab league theory, as an insane conspiracy theory, any accountability studying to germany's fight against the corona virus now, and also talks today with state premier st. john's. the uncle michael says, germany will stop vaccinating children from the age of 12 beginning in june.

destination is to be completely voluntary and will not be a prerequisite for attending school for traveling bound tech pfizer and madonna have applied to the appeal methods agency tap. the vaccines approved for the lessons is joncelyn. michael, can no new teacher could, and as you know, vaccine privatization will end on june 7th, after which point children and young people will be eligible for a vaccination appointment. they can make one either at a doctors office or alternatively, one of the vaccination centers in symptoms. now should adolescence get the job or not? it's a hotly debated issue in germany, while many adults are still waiting for vaccination, parents are anxious to protect their kids. even doctors disagree on whether there's a pressing need to do that. after months of homeschooling students in germany are

eager to get back to class. the federal health minister says that's why it's time to start vaccinating 12 to 15 year old. it becomes as if you believe we've been getting lots of letters and phone calls at the health ministry from parents and young people who want the vaccine. they want the chance to register for a shot as soon as the vaccine is approved for their age group. so once approval is granted, i think they should get that chance. on friday, the european medicine agency is expected to greenlight the biotech fight their job for 12 to 15 year olds. us authorities recently authorized the shot for children age 12 and up. but germany's vaccination commission is wary, it warns there's not enough data on potential side effects a fall when we get findings from other countries and can say with a fair degree of certainty that nothing happened. fine. but we can't go ahead as long as we don't know what happens and don't have the data. i question the necessity to push the through. but many doctors officers say they're getting

increasing calls from parents who want to know when their children can be vaccinated. we really want to be able to offer appointments to youngsters, especially those with chronic diseases and anger board marker. and since children seem to either show no symptoms when infected or only mild symptoms, some question the logic of giving young people to vaccine right away. jeremy still doesn't have enough jobs for everyone who wants one. when you get to the, to the physical. if we now have to start reserving vaccines for the 12 to 15 age group, even then we'll have shortages for all the under sixty's who still need to get back to needed for and transact such reservations are unlikely to happen. students hopes that they might get a job before heading out for summer vacation. andrew, oman, there is a doctor and lawmaker for their business friendly, free democrats here and germany parliament. little earlier, i asked him whether he would recommend vaccinating children from the age of 12.

well, there are pros and cons, faxing children beyond 12. so far the data look are looking very convincing and looking very safe that you can vaccinate children beyond the age of 12. but our, if you just sit in the play and it was that the vaccination commission was a little bit more weary people who are members of this commission, are we ready to recommend that vaccination be on 12 years because they like to see more data. but i think we have a pen situation where we need the data and the question and doubt. however, the evidence is quite clear. the chances that there will be unexpected side effects this very low. but nevertheless, we have be very careful as a physician to give the advice to the parents and give them knowledge. and let me remind you of this situation. we have children at risk of higher risk and the vaccine as well. the foreign

ministers of the european union have been meeting in portugal to discuss further factions on below roofs that's out of the country, diverted a ryan and plane to its capital minsk, in order to arrest a visit, a journalist who was on board. the news factions are likely to target was the main export potash, which is used to produce fertilize oil and finance sectors will also be targeted. european union has already been delusion allies from the skies. german for mr. michael must set the actions of the government in minsk warranted a strong response. this question that we were discussing who should be added to the sanctions list, it won't be just individuals responsible for what's happened in recent days. we'll be targeting companies to one and then in those 5, the actions we've seen from lucas cinco and bell, ruth had a terroristic character. it was so unacceptable that we're not ruling anything out . this magnitude will help this. now is this, but all corresponded, bound,

legal has been following that meeting of a you foreign ministers in lisbon earlier. we asked him what your opinion hopes to achieve, but piling more sanctions onto one of your poorest countries. well, 1st of all, they want to impress the bella was president alexander lucas yankee. they've, they've gone to tell him you cross a red line. this is our answer. but it start for that he will change his mind and the german minister high command also said we don't. if you don't want only the release of the 2 people that arrested on sunday, we want the release of all 400 political detainees in better rooms. and that is very unlikely to happen on the opposition in better room or the exide opposition says, don't over do it. the country is isolated enough. there's no chance now to leave better routes because also the nation is hampered. that was because one and badly got talking to me at the best been

international condemnation of the latest conflict in gaza and it's disregard for civilian casualties. today, the us human rights chief, michelle ashley directed sharp criticism of both israel and thomas militants. such strikes, re serious concerns of compliance with the principal distinction and proportionality under international is found to be in this, in this proportion, and what's the impact on such up stock make on war crimes. on the other hand, it is also a violation of international humanitarian law. to locate military assets in populated areas or 2 lounge attacks from however, the actions of one party do not show the other from its obligations on the international. 11 days of fighting left the trail of devastation in the

gaza strip before the si, fi last week. that lay is calling on israel to allow independent inquiry inquiry into the minutes or is actions israeli ad strikes. and shelley killed nearly $250.00, fell assyrians and gaza reducing parts of the territory to ruins. israel says it was targeting hamas military, 5 thousands of rockers into israel, killing at least 10 people. i'm joined by a posse. he's the executive vice president of quincy institute for responsible statecraft in washington, the commentator on release politics. a strong statement today there from a un un human rights chief israeli forces may have committed war crimes during the gaza conflict. whatever it is is there for that. i think there's been evidence for reasons to investigate israel's going barbara and gaza for quite some time. it's not just as last round. i think what is happening is that the international opinion

on this matter has heart. and then as a result, there's more political space for us to move forward on this. we've seen that very clearly happening inside of the united states where fatigue with constantly shielding israel from the consequences of its own actions is very clearly seen. not just in the progressive wing of the democratic party, you now seeing it in the center. and recent polls shows that amongst em, angelica christians, which have been a core base of the republican support for israel. the younger generation is very quickly and in dramatic numbers, turning away from this attitude of unconditionally supporting whatever israel is doing. well, we've seen the new us secretary of state entity, blink, and make his 1st visit to the middle east. the u. s. has a long history of failed attempts at peace in the middle east or any signs of what his strategy will be? well, i think the failure to

a certain extent is dependent on what the united states itself wants to achieve here. i think if the united states, contrary to what the, by the ministration have been claiming that they played a critical role in getting a ceasefire. the evidence seems to be that it's actually egypt, primarily because of its ability to talk to both israel and hamas. that was on the lead of this and how the united states not blocked 4 times efforts at the un to call for a cease fire that called on both of us and, and israel to agreed to see, sorry, there's reasons to believe that the t, sorry, could actually have come sooner. so the decision is actually does the united states want to continue to unconditionally support and shield as well from the political consequences? or is it willing to adopt a more neutral position in which as a potential peacemaker, immediate, or he actually has the ability and the political will to put pressure on both sides . we have not seen those records from, from the united states. although traditionally, if you go back 2030 years ago,

that was the role that united states to far greater extent than today was play of what we've seen though, is international mediation. if it's fail time and again, why should this be different? well, you know, this is a conjugate ultimately needs some sort of resolution. i think just speaking to your diplomats today from numerous countries. it's clear there is a tremendous fatigue with the idea that every 6 years countries had come in and financed the rebuilding of gaza. only for it to be destroyed again in the next for as long as the root causes of this problem, which is the occupational talestine is not addressed. that is the pattern that will keep on repeating itself. and while it does, there will be a hardening and radicalization of the politics on both sides. so it's very clear what the logical conclusion of the current path is. and that made the, creating enough political will to try to find an exit out of this, which means dealing with a root cause rather than just dealing with cease fires and rebuilding. so what,

what is the root cause and how do you deal with a root cause? well, the root causes that for more than the 6070 years. now there's not been a palestinian state because it's been occupied by these really than there needs to be a 2 state solution, even though it seems extremely unlikely. now mindful of the fact that during this period, israelis have built more and more settlements that turn into a defacto annexation of palestine. and as long as that is not addressed, as long as that is not reversed, we will continue to be in this pattern. although it will get worse and worse, the opinion of a passing, thank you very much. thank you for having religious leaders in berlin have laid the foundation stone for a new muslim faith place of worship called the house of one. it's hope that putting christians, jews, and muslims under one roof will promote understanding support and say it's long overdue. here in the center of fair lane, highway church, mach synagogue,

is under way located on the site of a demolished 13th century church. how's the f one is an attempt building interface bridges by letting people of 3 religions where she's under one roof, you start the house. so here are the city needs places where you can be sure that there are people who are having a dialogue of each other, no matter the differences. to know there is a place that you can go to with different people are communicating with each other and does an incredibly important symbol for peace in the city. holberg initiated the project then joined forces with the mom and the rabbis, mainly funded by the german state. how's the f one? we have 3 players. spaces connected by a central come in a room between different religions, the set of sensitivities by living under one roof in one house with their own

traditions and yet collectively taking responsibility, not for the entire world but for these later house itself. and by doing that, setting an example to prove it's possible, i think that could become pretty important in the city in berlin. for a while now, the projects initiated have been coming together on special locations to pray together to mourn and to show solidarity. for him. us, especially in the face of rising extremism from all sides. the project goes beyond just being a building. because i feel like we can't just call us the look away. face also means taking step with the means to actively be something and piece is not something that you can take for granted. that in order to have peace, you have to commit yourself and work hard as it. and if all goes according to plan has a form will be completed in 5 years. and the idea has already spread to other corners of the world in georgia and the central african republic. similar projects are
