politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. the e.u. admits flaw it is a vaccine program a splog members vent their fury over huge disparities in the way jobs are being shed down. over germany party services worst of the losses in 2 key states and starting pistols fired on the country's general elections. to 10 years of war in syria look at how the conflict has changed the lives of its people more the future holds in store for the country. good morning to you watching our team to national thanks for joining us. the

opinion has admitted that it is vaccine program is struggling with member states now also complaining of huge disparities in job distribution explains. trapped in a never ending vaccine nightmare the bureaucrats in brussels must be thinking mon dieu promises and reality have so epically failed to much not for the european block that they've been left with no one but to apologize it is true that mistakes were made when ordering the vaccines in brussels as well as in the member states the main issue has been delivery delays of the astra zeneca job the initial deal of 80000000 doses was the last to just 31000000 with the recent warning promising another months long hold up all this leaves the e.u. as target of 70 percent of adults vaccinated by late summer looking like a pipe dream but it's not just getting vaccines off the production line that's the problem no it seems the problem is far closer to home because despite all its

pledges to defeat covert 1000 with coordinated responses and united fronts some feel the e.u. is not living up to its core values as a tight knit family is there is said to have been a bazaar where additional contracts between member states and pharmaceutical companies are said to have existed what kind of bizarre as well the austrian chancellor is convinced that not everyone is being transparent and that certain member states are doing separate deals with pharmaceutical companies on the sly he's also annoyed that some countries like germany are picking up fact seen so far unclaimed by others and he's not the only 15 e.u. countries that's almost a 5th of the entire block have the same complaint accusing brussels of not fairly dividing up the vaccine pie if that system were to carry on it would continue

creating an exacerbating huge disparities among member states by this summer whereby some will be able to reach herd immunity in a few weeks while others would like far behind nothing says. solidarity like feeding yourself whilst your brothers and sisters go hungry according to this uneven system multo would get more fight scenes than bald area which has a population almost 14 times launched an equation even cuts in code scratching their heads and feeling like they've been cheated cheated out of the shot they say is our only shot at a return to normal life so we can leave behind soaring unemployment and so that people don't feel pushed to the brink and onto the streets.

but it's not just knocked down fatigue it's easy you fatigue apparently now sizable chunks of the blocks population feel that families image has taken a big hit over the past year proving that best failed vaccine rolled out greedy stop piling on public infighting during one of the vote it might be time for brussels to rethink its strategy and revive the good old idea of a one on one for role. germany's election year it's got off to a rocky start for anglo american the ruling christie in democratic union has suffered its worst ever results in 2 key german states with the greens and democrats maintaining that lead. to our correspondents in each of the joints but. not a very good start into the election if anglo-american as policy. well

this will be a big wake up call or at least it should be a wake up call for the christian democratic union they've posted their worst ever historically low numbers in 2 key states in the southwest of germany and bob important book and the rhineland paletta knit now there's serious talk about that vote leading to their them being put out of government in those 2 states once the horse trading over coalitions is finished and should that happen well that on a local level could well end up translating to a similar thing happening on a national level while the christian democratic union suffered big losses the big winners were the green party quite literally in boston fortan book but certainly in rhineland collaton it in terms of putting themselves in a position to be part of a future coalition government green party leaders say that voters is showing that they're sick and tired of the status quo that's hurt thrown in the arts at times

trust in the politics of democratic decisions is crumbling the reason for this is the mismanagement of the federal government during the coronavirus pandemic and especially the corruption scandals and the c.d.u. as a result of basis of trust in democratic processes as a whole is being lost to a certain extent and it will be our task to rebuild it to require this trust through a strong election result of a sign you heard it mentioned there but the c.d.u. and their bavarian says the party the christian social union the c f u they're embroiled in a big corruption scandal at the moment which has seen 3 members of parliament quit already over what's being called pandemic profiteering over ties to them getting cash in making money out of deals for p.p. and masks. does. the really any decent behavior in shamelessness of individual m.p.'s has ensured that especially now in

the last phase of the election campaign there really is a harsh wind blowing in the face of the campaigners that wasn't just unpleasant it put a lot of strain on the election campaign. well that scandal plus growing dissatisfaction over pandemic management has seen the concert of union bloc drop to 30 percent in national polling that's the lowest they've been in a year but it's not just at the polls that people have been showing their dissatisfaction this weekend just marked the one year anniversary of the 1st and tea lockdown demonstrations and yet again we saw people out on the streets of germany saying they're not happy with the way the current coalition government have handled the pandemic these results in bob important book and rhineland though they're just the very start of what's being called the super voting here in germany

that culminates with the big bundestag elections taking place in september when we know who we will know who will be the successor to run the americans with those there for us live from berlin our correspondent peter all of. it is 10 years since the outbreak of war in syria hundreds of thousands of people have been killed in the conflict millions of civilians have been displaced while the country's economy has been ruined according to the un half a serious children don't even know life without war. young syrians have especially paid a heavy toll almost half of those aged between $18.24 as surveyed by the red cross have lost somebody in the conflict many have suffered injuries themselves 2 out of

3 fled their homes almost half lost their income and most of the young syrian surveyed are still struggling to meet basic needs such as food of some firsthand accounts from people who had to leave their homes. i was annoying for a grade when the problem started everything was relatively normal until the 26th of november 20th 11 the next day things escalated in our village and the schools were closed that was the last day i opened the door. these 10 years have been psychologically draining everything was destroyed and we had to rebuild on top of rubble i've experienced many bad things you can't raise your emotions the physical damage was nothing compared to the emotional wounds. i come from a family of 4 everyone makes music and dance painting drawing and that sort of thing i wanted to go to university like a normal person and build my future but unfortunately it didn't work out of.

a lot of things like i want to and this is something. some there's. the small stuff i think of like the fact one of the brothers has. 16 now but today has probably. 10 years have passed since the crisis 4 in syria and 6 here we're now entering the 11th year it is heart breaking but we managed to adapt. throughout the conflict our correspondent been covering the key events including from the front line documenting people's lives in the water own country in this special anniversary report he looks back at the syrian was defining moments and forwards to where things may be headed we call it the syrian civil war but never was for years syria has been bled dry

by a war that was largely spared and the south and from abroad we know that now courtesy of hillary clinton's leaked diplomatic cables. making the point repeatedly that the regime wants this to look like turn into sectarian violence and the very least that can be broadcast back into syria in various ways that will encourage protest as the united states we knew funded and ran propaganda campaigns against assad millions and millions of dollars since bush was in office they got what they wanted the u. very action was 'd the. it was thank you thank you. ya-ya . the

law the father was late burning stronger and stronger every day as tens of thousands of jihad this from all over the world flock to syria they said this far and then they had the goal to cool it somewhat out of the civil war which they didn't want to get involved that i have resisted calls for military action because we cannot resolve someone else's civil war through force particularly after a decade of war in iraq and afghanistan the situation profoundly changed though on august 21st when assad's government gassed to death over a 1000 people including hundreds of children. the images from this massacre are sickening. men and women children lying in rows killed by poison gas.

yes the gas one of the absolute lose of the war hundreds died in the biggest such attack in damascus suburbs in 2013 both sides the government and the rebels blamed each other and then again and again and again in late today as it was almost always the white helmets 1st on the scene a rebel propaganda and rescue group funded by the same people who put guns and missiles in militants have just so we're clear whose side the white helmets well on they operate only in territory controlled by geodes so the kurds for example wouldn't let them anywhere near their towns there with the syrian government or the syrian democratic forces for good reason this group is by all reports poison we heard at the un panel what are these that they got up to in their free time organ

trafficking staged rescues and when the cameras are off a little fighting on the side. they told me that while they were not affiliated to us for a front despite the fact that their center was actually in a no sort of front complex the notes for front headquarters were directly next door to the white house center that i visited they told us that while they had an era for the ation to last for a front it was very likely that every other white holik group in syria did have a variation in a store front were led by a nurse or a front militants and then the other situation this would be a scam a racket if you are a bunch of thugs to manufacture chaos and then you say hey look chaos let's do something about it like the infamous chemical attack of 2018 when they accused asaad of dropping gas on

a random house after he'd won the battle for no reason that makes sense shock horror and the great reason to let loose dozens of cruise missiles at syria except you know bad production. we were in the basement my mother told me that we had run out of food and wouldn't have anything to eat until tomorrow i heard noise outside somebody was shouting the we had to go to the hospital so we were there when i came in some people grabbed me and started pouring water over my head after almost 6 months of investigations i can prove without a doubt that the duma hospital scene was staged no fatalities occurred in the hospital all the white helmets activists and people i spoke to are either in the loop or euphrates shield areas only one person was in damascus. for all his many many scenes former president told trump had one thing doing for him he would

sometimes tell the truth uncharacteristic of presidents yes but with trump it was it was shameless the hell with international law customs or even simple decency or oil. and that is what america is in syria for we're keeping we have the oil the earlier secure we left troops behind only for the oil i like the oil wiki thing it's a remarkable situation one of the world's richest countries occupying the oil fields of one of the poorest countries in the world syria year after year i reported from syria and many of you may have followed the war but take my word for it until you see this with your own eyes you have no idea how bad things really are. district cities demolished will find use like

this in aleppo. here in homs in damascus the question isn't where did you start it's what do you start with they said it would be the good guys who'd fight has had the freedom fighters but it wasn't it wasn't the democrats it wasn't the liberals it wasn't the freedom fighters it was the radicals the extremists the jihad ists who rose to power and more moderate opposition there was was crushed and khatib. original of the argument was we don't know them very well when we got to know them but it was they don't have very good backgrounds the pentagon thought it could change that it pumped hundreds of millions of dollars into training mode. dirk's rebels they hoped they would raise an army of $5000.00 fighters what they got is one of the most embarrassing testaments in the history of congress can you

tell us what the total number of trained fighters remains. it's a small number and. the ones that are in the fight is or is is we're talking 4 for far from the $500000000.00 they managed to theall the 4 or $55.00 this 4 or 5 not entirely sure the rest they frocks who are nusra front they deserted with their shiny new guns bombed and burned their way across towns and cities hosting the black flag of jihad i saw it i was that it wasn't the moderates who took it lib it wasn't the moderates who besieged aleppo and the rebels are pushing into aleppo again. the free group according to community. intercept.

people to get back get back girls. but what i saw in syria will always stay with me it's shocking when you see a father cradling a baby killed by a bullet well when you hear the cry of a mother who's just found out that her boys been torn apart by rebel shell these is what war looks like police is what happens when you put a gun and someone's hands and cool them right shifts. do you duty. why did. not really. bad and they're not alone are.

there were moderates moderates less ideologically and religiously inclined and more commercially minded and tripper nerds who saw the shiny guns that were being handed out by the pentagon lot as a tool to fight oppression but is a commodity to be sold for profit when we learned that our unit's leader was selling arms to isolate terrorists we reported it to the us head of the base but after a report no measures were taken americans only ramped up the support for him it was never a secret that jarvis hijacked the revolution in syria what it was was an open secret everyone knew about it but you just didn't say it out loud otherwise you would legitimize acid's claim that he was fighting monsters terrorists quickly became

upset a spectacle in a blood soaked circus they kept saying the same thing that it was all for the good of the syrian people the united states opposes the use of violence against peaceful protesters in syria and we support the universal rights of the syrian people for the sake of the syrian people the time has come for president assad to step aside for 10 years syria has and literally been in the headlights the president would condemn what's happening the pundits would call for more borns the common sections would be filled with war moments calling for blood here's a test a basic test they do know that selling american or european medicine to syria to this day could lead to. in jail ass these are called sanctions and they were strict almost all trade with syria i once reported from

a cad's the center for kids in aleppo and who are out me one little kids dying from perfectly treatable forms of cads or just because it's illegal c. to sell them medicine when's the last time you heard anything about these sun c.n.n. or b.b.c. this is 3 year old what she had i counsel they could have treated it but western sanctions made getting the medicine impossible and the only hospital that specialized in cancer in aleppo the hospital was taken by rebels and destroyed in fighting they had to amputate her but she's fine now she lives many other kids. almost over children who died of cancer have done so because of european sanctions we asked the european union and humanitarian agencies to lift the sanctions and let cancer manson in because children are suffering the truth these

few even know what's going on anymore one of the 1st things that biden did when he came to power was launch more strikes in syria so what people have stopped being told about syria and suffering a recent poll in britain found that only a little over half of respondents even know that the syrian war is still a thing this tragic commemoration of 10 years of this brutal conflict is being compounded by the fact that in the u.k. and throughout the west the suffering of the syrian people is being forgotten and ignored seems to be little hope for syria there is a new belief that tomorrow is going to be a better day a war has crushed any faith that people had this is a country that was beaten burned and broken and is now being robbed. then open daylight and no one cares not enough to do anything about it there is no hope for

syria a lot like this. the course of the syrian war changed in september 2015 when the russian military was sent in by request of the syrian government to help it regain control of the country since then russia has become an integral part of the peace process helping to broker and monitor last year's ceasefire agreement as well as to supply humanitarian aid to the syrian people if a national reports from syria about russia's role in the country. i mean russian air base here in fear is northern province of track it takes up a relatively small piece of land but it helped win the whole country how i'll show you follow me luck.

take it by ship let me take out the our forces for their defeats predicted the close of a very important moment in russian navigation played a very important role he went over the name changed was among the 1st pilots to come here back in 2015. but i. also. know that the. order was learned some of the lord. please

please to give you an understanding of how intensive to mission has been since the start in the 1st 24 hours with the help of. the syrian army managed to take. and push the enemy back 70 kilometers. above the. russian fighter jets can fly in any weather but sun and sand are not their best friends here thousands of miles away from home each of them has their role. to protect from climate and from spine eyes. the air bases here in syria

to keep the peace but it may become a target itself and requires protection and this is just one of many components of the bases solid security umbrella but if there were a boat owner or only above a boy you are a more. puzzled mother as it were in the opportunity to mamie may or may start it was several tense in the middle of nowhere had its grew to a real town with streets and boulevards a church and a dream cafes and restaurants bakeries and beauty saloon it is a symbol of peace for syria and the reason a sense of real kong here. when you know when you will miss the boys in your force way i'm going to. vote for you. but ending the war is just the 1st step in bringing live in syria back to normal

had a decade of crisis has left too many scars and russian support goes far beyond military victories in the last 5 years russia has helped 2000000 syrian refugees return home main roads were finally cleared and reopened russian medics have also treated around 130000 syrian citizens the defense ministry says nearly 3000 humanitarian operations delivered tons of food water medicine and basic supplies for series civilian population. the latest here in southwestern syria where the 1st anti government protests erupted 10 years ago. it's going slowly but life is beginning to fill the streets of syria's cities once again. i have spent half of my life and war we've been through a lot we have become patient i feel old even though i look young people have to

work harder to cover their expenses and support their families life has become more difficult when we are stronger and ready for any outcome we have to keep on living despite all the difficulties. we cannot make situation is there are difficult we cannot provide our children with the most basic necessities clubs not books for study i want things to see read the way they used to be. the war has affected everything life has gotten worse the russians played the biggest role in the crisis they helped us greatly made our lives easier during the economic blockade was helpful. territories and supplied us with wheat and rice. remember this street in the old city of the capital damascus empty we show up some galleries shut down and fear in the air that it could be shelled at any moment and it was the same gloomy mood basically all over the country 10 years on locals still spend hours queuing

for fuel or bread so many of them are jobless but they say police the skies evolved and now clear brief notion on our team from damascus in syria. go by with updates for you inhofe analyse them. everything in here is given to me basically these 4 tables that were given to me really ugly so i'm in the process of. make a little personal so that's another way of cutting costs this is the queen's share . this is my share for.
