so i'm blind come from germany or other e u countries, just about as fair as it gets. fear while you're here, the sad because we stick to the working standards here. and of course the materials are manufactured in line with the regulations. that means no child, labor adherence to health and safety regulations, and of course, their pay we'll pay above tariff here. a sneak of produced in germany is a rarity most a made in asia and n g o, like in quarter, say that work is they're still being exploited is in its wrong, we see forced over time high health risks. there's a lot of informal work in the factories on the any form of working contracts and so on. and the worst problem is that people can defend themselves against that, because the unions are suppressed that looked van jim and he's industry association denies that points to its cooperation with the caps program that's supposed to ensure adequate environmental and social standards in global shoe production. it's not going to start off to say we rely very much on our members self regulation. ultimately, the one kits that means old can

u. k. with other countries, it's totally in comparable. apparently the u. k. testing around 10 times more people than in germany. therefore, inevitably, more people will be recorded as infected much less so than in other countries that are not testing as much. now these would be the u. k. testing program is of course the vaccination rollout as well, which is doing incredibly well at this point. around 43000000 people have received the dose of the vaccination with the government. still maintaining the vaccine roll out program is the ticket out of the pandemic. currently, it is down to individual e u member states to decide on the rules governing that borders. we are moving its speed through vaccination program to help us cub this latest fair. and we will continue to have discussions with our european partners on the reopening of international travel. but we're very confident the tar vaccination program is providing a good way forward. so pressure on europe to kick start their economy once again. and of course, tourism is very much the heart of it, but there's

country wants to achieve technological severity. the real idea behind this is to gain some of the ground that trimming his loss to the u. s. to china, to these, these 2 countries are much farther ahead. in this realm, of course, are keen on maintaining their lead. i mean, you know, they have a lot to gain by keeping other industrial countries dependent on their, their technology. now that being said, jeremy is kind of a double threat in the sense that it has both a strong industrial sphere as well as a lot of really great research institute institutes right here at home. and so what we're, what we're hoping to see or what the countries hoping to see is to kind of combine those 2 to sort of even the playing field. and yeah, there's going to be a real concerted effort to do that. going go ahead now exactly to bring all that expertise on both sides together because as you mention it, when it comes to research and development to germany is certainly one of the world leaders even in quantum technology. and as far as i know, the government wants to invest even more. how much money are we talking about? yeah, sure. so, i mean, the

well, if you look at the countries of israel's gone, the japan is gone. their indians or india is gone, the, the u. s. is gone, the china is gone, the and so on more countries and now private companies want to go there. so if anything, had the ability to prevent somebody or compete somebody out of this activity is going to become less and less possible as more and more different parties become involved. she's counting. joining me tonight, washington. keith is always going to talk with you. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. my pleasure. india is a 2nd wave of corona virus infections appears to be waning. the focus now is on vaccinating as many people as possible to prevent a 3rd way. the government wants to knock you late, all adults by the end of the year. however, there may not be enough vaccines. and if that weren't challenging enough, vaccine hesitancy among parts of the population making matters even worse. the w namisha nice reports tonight from northern india. if they're trying to get back to the native and these young residents of wrote up in the not indian state

country. now portugal vo says it will do anything with the e. u decides wilds. countries like spain, hence it's even prepared for a bus stop with the block. if it tries to deny brits entry, hopefully we can begin to receive british torrison. we don't have any restrictions and tories from the u. k. the moment they're the ones who are placing restriction when people, when they return. so at a fast balance, it may seem like it makes sense to try and impose this quarantine for british tourists. however, when we cross checks, things like the testing regime here in the u. k. with other countries, it's totally in comparable. apparently the youth has testing around 10 times more people than in germany. therefore, inevitably, more people will be recorded as infected, much less so than in other countries, but i'm not testing as much now. these would be the u. k. testing program is of course the vaccination rollout as well, which is doing incredibly well at this point. around 43000000 people have received the dose of the vaccination with the government. stil

so that may well influence countries to hold onto that doses and potentially vaccinate younger children. we're seeing here the u. k. when it comes to the indian, various cases doubling on a weekly basis. and that's a cause for huge concern. that's all going well of western countries have surplus doses, but no bad news for poor countries. dependence on the carfax game. well, as we mentioned earlier, many southeast asian nations that were seen as corona, via success stories, and not being forced to impose new restrictions as infections surge to record levels far as louis has more from calling them poor. no international flights are being allowed to land for a week in vietnam's capital 100. the announcement on tuesday follows a similar band by host him in city a few days ago. infections in vietnam remained low for most of last year, but have risen since late april tie one once lauded for success in containing the virus. so clusters a much, once it relaxed its pandemic restriction waste. when you are very successful, you are not forced to improve. only when you fear, then are you forced to improve? we were too succ

are we at a point now where we can get countries such as egypt, the u, a. e, the u. s. france. countries like these to stop interfering in the domestic politics of libya. question, we will ask you this question last year. and i think the danger is we haven't made much progress. as we'd like to say, we have to find in october 2020. that mandated the rule of the current must mean within like today. the biggest challenge, since the last 2 countries that have delivered those discreetly russia and the way he had refused to acknowledge that they in fact claim that they have a civil war and haven't had no involvement of the last several years. despite the fact that the un under polls have gone into great detail about what they've done, if what i'm willing to cool russian mostly emerald, by the name of the international level, jelly, acknowledge that it's going to be very difficult to make them come good. when it requires sequencing and meet on the phones, we don't have promises any more. we need tangible outcomes. and now if there is a day to day election, 24 hours, there ar

but a lot of e u countries won't do that, at least at 1st. so if you want to travel to europe from outside the block, but you haven't been fully vaccinated, but either pfizer biotech or astrazeneca, or madonna, or johnson and johnson vaccines. you definitely need to check to see what the restrictions are. the countries that you want to visit because in many cases, even full vaccination might not be recognised if it wasn't with a vaccine approved by the e. m a. me. and that's often it's kind of 19 special and so next time goodbye. and ah, the news, the news the news the news, the news ah, is way to bring you more conservation. how do we make seniors green or how can we protect habits? we can make a difference global ideas, environmental theories, in global $3000.00 on d, w, and online 2016 as like a budget. the queen wants to be of germany with the law. you have been quite right fully in touch with the averted on the home when it comes to germany. and of course, always look in the eyes for it is. but perhaps the biggest on the new hobby of $90

member states and veto power on foreign policy. ultimately, meaning dissenting voices or small e u countries could well student pretty silent. the us vice president visits latin america just spread the word that migrants are not well to stop the months of the biden administration denying there's any crisis at the border and the reason for thinking about making that dangerous track do not come. i.
