well if if you're expecting a very rapid change then probably you'll be disappointed but the g.p.'s of family doctors will play a very important role when it comes for example to gaining more flexibility in the process that's something i was stressed by angela merkel and which is an important point to for example go beyond that very strict guidelines as to who should be vaccinated when so certainly want to lament which is important here is the flexibility another element which plays an important role when it comes to family doctors or g.p.'s is trust trust has been affected in the cold oxidation programme which has been very slow and you know that g.p.'s have a very good relationships normally with their own patients so they will hopefully be able to increase trust in the vaccine particularly astra zeneca vaccine so it's not only about speed and it's also about increasing trust it's also about increasing flexibility in a vaccination program which has been criticised since it began last year in december and just really quickly thomas german generally are quite frustrated with the ba

a 2nd element and i think this is particularly important is by making that vaccine available 'd to g.p.'s family doctors who can then administer it to their own patients you know the family doctors have already a relationship of trust with their patients there's a longstanding relationship there so that's in my opinion where the key can be to actually restore trust not only on that specific vaccine the astra zeneca lexeme but in general about germany's vaccination program it is expected that leaders both at the federal level and at the regional level will discuss the exact details of how to make it possible for g.p.'s and family doctors to actually administer those astra zeneca vaccines and other vaccines as well a spot of this idea to speed up germany's vaccination program thomas there is a vaccine summit taking place today put this into context for us i mean how big a setback is this entire affair around astra zeneca to the overall rollout here in germany. well fortunately for german officials it wasn't a very long setback it wasn't a very long holt and this is certainly something th

federal level and at the regional level will discuss the exact details of how to make it possible for g.p.'s and family doctors to actually administer those astra zeneca vaccines and other vaccines as well as part of this idea to speed up germany's vaccination program thomas there is a vaccine summit taking place today put this into context for us i mean how big a setback is this entire affair around astra zeneca to the overall world here in germany. well fortunately for german officials it wasn't a very long setback it wasn't a very long holt and this is certainly something that will be positive when it comes to the overall development of germany's vaccine rollout but it is indeed a setback it is indeed a problem already german officials have stressed how they plan to move forward specifically in the next few days by for example making sure that people who have appointments can actually go to those appointments today and those who had appointments in the last few days which had to be canceled because of the hold that those appointments can then be followed in the next few days or in the

so this gives you an idea of just how important this is the next step here in germany is to involve g.p.'s of how many doctors so that they can administer some of those very important coronavirus vaccines is on the one hand expected to help speed up the program but it's also expected to give it some flexibility which is also very needed in these times germany has a very strict procedure in place who can receive which back which vaccine when and then as well as that is another issue here which is trust and it is also expected that by using family doctors by including them in the process then trust in the vaccine can be increased you know that family doctors and g.p.'s have a very important connection to their own patients as a relationship of trust that obviously the german government is aware of in thomas meanwhile as these issues continue the german health ministry unspun is facing some tough questions over a controversial facemask contract tell us more about that. that's correct so the contract refers to one that was signed between the ministry of health on the one hand and a company

the vaccination program one of the key areas that they're focusing now on is involving some of the g.p.'s of family doctors who've been helped to administer some of those very important coronavirus vaccines for those who are expecting this to speed everything up very quickly they will probably be disappointed but it's not only about speed it's also about flexibility on the one hand they expect to achieve by involving g.p.'s and family doctors and on the other hand as well it's about trust which has been damaged in the last few weeks on which authorities also hope can be restored with the help of family doctors who know their patients very well so these are the elements that authorities are focusing now on when it comes to making sure that this all important vaccination rollout can actually happen better and quicker you mention trust thomas this is also affecting germany's health ministry and he's under scrutiny for mask procurement contract tell us more about that. that's correct that deal involving the health ministry and a company for which husband actually works and we're talking he

pharmacies gena g.p.'s said that it prescribes sex hormones to more than 1800 patients around one in 6 of whom are under 16 years old including a child of just 10 the founder of the clinic has been suspended since 2018 after she prescribed hormones to a 12 year old in the g.p. though defended its practices saying that not all parents support the chance decision to change sex sites of her therapists to evans is that the long term quints consequences could be serious for children. we all kind of tend to on the easy answers all the sort of quick arses and so they come across this information and state and the websites and transitions who sort of talk about the positive aspects of it and how great it is that but actually there isn't any kind of the longer term picture it doesn't really provide a full picture for these young people this is a medication pathway that leads to irreversible damage and it's also experimental and you know there are some serious harms that might occur. to people in their later life th

trust has been affected here in germany so that's the reason why german leaders decided to include g.p.'s in the overall vaccination program which was really described here has been really painfully slow this slow rollout has indeed eroded trust but there are also number of scandals there was involving mask procurement now one is affecting the country's health ministry and tell us more about the. it involves a job and a health ministry and a company for which again spawns husband works on the deal involves procurement of face mosque although both the health ministry and the company involved have denied any wrongdoing this comes on top of an already big scandal here in germany affecting the conservative bloc also because of the procurement of mosques in particular so this is such a really not a good moment for us it's also not a good moment for cole c.d.u. c.s.u. block told us thank you very much sharp little correspondent thomas sparrow. well the spanish island of new york is getting ready for a wave of tourists in the run up to the easter holidays most will come from germany which has

with all the astra zeneca problem here in germany and other parts of europe as well and as you know g.p.'s have a very important relationship of trust with some of the patients and it is expected that they can then explain some of those side effects and some of the benefits and why the benefits outweigh some of the risk of the vaccine so that it's not only about speed it's also as i say about flexibility on the one hand and trust in the other hand as well when you talk about trust but there's also been a lot of criticism about the pace of the rollout how is the german public coping with the slow vaccination campaign. there's a lot of coronavirus fatigue there's no doubt about that in particular because of restrictions that have been in place for a long time and when we talk about vaccinations most germans according to recent surveys are also against the way the government has handled it they think the government has handled it either badly or very badly only a minority believe it has gone well so that just increases the pressure on of both or the federal level and to regional level to c

genda g.p. has said that it describes sex almost to more than 1800 patients around one in 6 of whom are under 16 years old including a child of just 10 the founder of the clinic has been suspended since 28 t. have to see prescribe hormones to a 12 year old and a g.p. defended his practices so in that not all parents supported the chance decision to change sex but psychotherapists eleven's is the long term consequences for children we all kind of tend to on the easy answers or the sort of quick our senses and so they come across this information and in the websites inch transitions who sort of talk about the positive aspects of it and how great it is that that actually there isn't any kind of longer term picture it doesn't really provide a full picture for these young people to see is a medication pathway that leads to irreversible damage and it's also experimental and you know there are some serious harms that might occur. to people in their later life there is a politicized element to this and

100 give it more flexibility as well as a revitalized trust on this vaccination rollout is a clue to g.p.'s and family doctors in the whole process of administering the vaccines that's something that very probably will begin in april but as you mentioned terry correctly germany has had a painfully snow vaccination rollout and this is just increasing all these tensions that we're seeing here in this country and also the frustration among part of germany's population told us thank you very much that was our political correspondent thomas sparrow is a quick roundup of some of the stories making headlines roll world today 10 people including a police officer have been killed in a shooting at a supermarket in the u.s. state of colorado and injured suspect has been detained the attack in the city of boulder is the 2nd deadly shooting in the country in a week officials in bangladesh have begun investigating what caused a massive fire that swept through a revenge a refugee camp at least 7 people have died and tens of thousands have been left homeless nearly a 1000000 refugees living in camps in

in germany to try and speed up that very snowy vaccination rollout they for example announced that g.p.'s are family doctors will be involved in distributing the vaccine to the population starting in april this will probably not happen very quickly at the beginning but it will help to bring some sort of flexibility to the program and it will help to increase trust that's at least what leaders are hoping here in germany but as you say terry people already are really concerned about the slow vaccination rollout because it has been described from the start as the way out of the pandemic and many people here in germany simply do not see a way out of the pandemic especially if you consider how high the numbers are getting at this point in time you mention trust the tallness in the middle of this crisis the german health minister young is also facing scrutiny because of a controversial mosque contract tell us more about that. it has to do with a deal between the german health ministry and a company for which spawns husband works really regarding mosque procurement and although both the healt

receive a high number of vaccines which will help to speed up the process as well as the inclusion of g.p.'s and family doctors in the whole vaccine distribution i'm she also once again defended the use of the coronavirus warn up which was very useful for germany in the 1st wave of the pandemic in particular for its track and trace policy but which has been criticized in recent months for people who consider it not very useful when it comes to germany's fight against coronavirus i'm going to michael also stressed that it is not possible to simply only highlight the negative aspects of policy and that's why she has to focus on those important issues that germany has at its disposal to fight a coronavirus pandemic did the chancellor offer any new ideas thomas for how to deal with the rising infection numbers. teria no because i don't think this is the venue for under mccall to present new ideas these kinds of government speeches ahead of e.u. summits are normally intended to present broader elements of policy which can then lead to a discussion here in parliament so as such what we heard to

so this gives you an idea of just how important this is the next step here in germany is to involve g.p.'s of how many doctors so that they can administer some of those very important coronavirus vaccines is on the one hand expected to help speed up the program but it's also expected to give it some flexibility which is also very needed in these times germany has a very strict procedure in place who can receive which back which vaccine when and then as well as that is another issue here which is trust and it is also expected that by using family doctors by including them in the process then trust in the vaccine can be increased you know that family doctors and g.p.'s have a very important connection to their own patients as a relationship of trust that obviously the german government is aware of in thomas meanwhile as these issues continue the german health ministry n spine is facing some tough questions over a controversial facemask contract tell us more about that. that's correct so the contract refers to one that was signed between the ministry of health on the one hand the company f

element that they have put in practice that they're trying to develop in the next few weeks by including g.p.'s and family doctors to the whole administration of the vaccines here in germany it's a big question as to whether they will be able to speed things up immediately but at least that's the hope that officials have and they will help speed up things they will help to make them from more flexible and they will also help to germany to improve its situation when it comes to the coronavirus pandemic on the vaccination program in general thomas barrow the thank you thomas. the european union prides itself on its open borders between member states but with infection rates on the rise across the continent freedom of travel is being restricted to some borders as governments are trying to slow down the spread of the coronavirus germany now requires commuters from poland to get tested at the border a time consuming and expensive process and we follow one polish construction worker from the border town of slow which is on his long way to work like thousands of poles living near the border rafael
