Pay compensation damages caused by oral spills class. And is considered good fortune for the chinese during the mill year but im going to report about these cherries is turning out to be really very bad luck here in chile. So European Health regulators have given emergency approval full adults across 27 the 27 country block to receive the offset Astra Zeneca Corona virus vaccine announcement comes after a dispute between the e. U. In the company the us expects at least 80000000 doses by the end of march but a week ago ash is in a cut supply blaming manufacturing issues. Its a real pleasure to be here until i announce the 3rd positive opinion for the authorize ation of the astra zeneca covert 900. 00 buck scene this expands the range of Vaccines Available to e. U. Member states which will all help to bring the pandemic under control and protect the citizens of the e. U. We now have 3 vaccines that have been developed and recommended for approval for approval against a disease that we did not know one year ago. That bus and life are most of the answers that we could but it seems has been approved done for all adults which had been some go. Absolutely theres now a 3rd vaccine that has been approved for all ages of both 18 years old and the press conference is still ongoing explaining the considerations of the European Medicines Agency and the question was just asked about why the may actually has decided differently than we heard from a german scientist yesterday who said its not wise to recommend this vaccine astra zeneca to 65 years or an older because it is not enough data to show that this vaccine is safe and efficient for this age group well the answer here i d m a is that its not different than what the german scientists have said they are simply not enough data thats true in the facts in trials for this age group but they did find enough antibodies in the trials are poor ongoing and also in other countries where defects seen as already been use to show and to secure and reassure people in the age group of 65. 00 plus that it is safe to use but maybe what the germans maybe suggested it out of vaccines might be more efficient for at this age group like price of buy in tact for example the other interesting question also here race was is it also protecting against the variance from the u. K. Brazil and south africa well theres simply not enough information at the moment and i hope that as for us they make a company will give that information later on so its not thats not a clear answer yet but they still say they hope that it will protect against all these variants as well they said it was a difficult assessment because theres also been criticism why has it only come now the u. K. Has already been using this vaccine for nearly 4 weeks well they said it was a very complex data package that they had to assess it was a challenging assessment they said with all the figures and data that they got which simply took more time compared to the other 2 vaccines that were approved already its also easier to you. Thats also something that we need to stress the us has a make up bag seen doesnt have to be. Transported frozen so it can be easily transported across the European Union and should be available for more people but now of course the main question is what will be the supply be will there be enough vaccines in the next 3 months as the company had promised our stock tanks not starve us and. E. U. Commission adopted an export stream that will hold Vaccine Companies to their contractual obligations this approach is built on trust transparency and responsibility commitment needs to be kept and contracts are binding advance purchase agreements need to be respected today we have developed a system that will allow us to know whether vaccines are being exported from the e. U. This increase transparency will also come with the responsibility for the e. U. To authorize with our Member States these vaccine exports to berlin our dominant cain joins us live and could tell us more about whats behind these export controls. Its a very strange situation isnt it that one e. U. Agency positively referring to the astra zeneca vaccine as being a key part in our 3rd vaccine approved for use inside the e. U. Supposedly to provide relief to people that theres extra weapon as it were in the fight against corona virus and yet a colleague of hers from a different part of the e. U. Institutions effectively introducing export controls on vaccines created in the e. U. Well that appears to be particularly targeted exactly at astra zeneca although of course there is another vaccine which is created in the e. U. Which is the bio on tech Pfizer Vaccine which was the 1st one to be approved for use anywhere in the world well now you have the scenario where the people making this vaccine we were hearing about the approval in amsterdam but disapproval as it were in one sense or disagreement about whats happening with astra zeneca from brussels the point here is the company and the e. U. The European Commission are at loggerheads with each other over this a very long contract between the 2 the central parts of which which are in dispute are what happens with the vaccine created in the e. U. Which then gets shipped to the United Kingdom and what happens in terms of the number of doses of the vaccine to be given to be provided to the e. U. The amount of money and moreover and this is perhaps from the europeans perspective the most important part which is that did astra zeneca when it signed this agreement with the e. U. Did it know that it had many other commitments that there were several other commitments which will involve many millions of doses the europeans are asking how it can be that astra zeneca says it doesnt have enough doses to be able to fulfill the commitment it gave the e. U. For the 1st quarter of this year namely 80000000 doses for the entire e. U. As a bloc cant provide those and yet the you said. That astra zeneca can provide the United Kingdom with many doses and it must be said that it has commitments with other countries so you have a log ahead of these 2 groups these 2 sides astra zeneca on the one side the e. U. On the other and the rather facile situation where 2 different branches of the e. U. As a bloc one says yes we approve it for use and the other one says if we want to control the amount thats being created in the e. U. Because were not sure that the contract we signed with the very company that created this vaccine is actually going to be going to apply to our direct thanks for that dominic cain there live for us in berlin. Theres more potential help for the global inoculation drive with 2 more american vaccines showing promising results and trial runs the novaks job is shown to be around 90 percent effective while u. S. Drug firm johnson and johnson is expected to apply for emergency use authorization for its vaccine in the next week they say its single dose jab appears to be at least 66 percent effective or Erica Golding is there with the federation of american scientists and explains why the johnson and johnson vaccine is a more viable option than most. Johnson just one doesnt rely on our name never protocol the reason that our new ones are so temperature sensitive is because the m. R. Name breaks down very easily this one does not it still builds on the same spike protein stills by protein based and so because its more rigid it does not need to be refrigerated whatsoever. Does not need to be frozen whatsoever and has been a shelf life its lower especially for south africa because weve already seen that south africa parent can escape vaccines in s. K. Parent bodies partially and we see the same results in novaks yesterday 90 percent for the u. S. But only 50 percent in south africa so in certain ways it outlaws or oranges in comparison because maternal Pfizer Vaccine did not ever have to deal with them and he didnt even make journal a vaccine the knowledge has a much lower neutralization efficiency can south africa so he done the murder trial and now it would probably see a similar phenomenon lower africa.

China says it will no longer recognize the British National overseas passport available to 3000000 hong kong residents beijing made the move after the u. K. Launched a visa scheme that allows these passport holders to apply for british citizenship its in response to the National Security law imposed on hong kong by china u. K. Government says it standing up for freedom katrina you has more reaction from beijing and its decision to stop recognizing the b. N. A. Past. They join has been actually mulling over this move now for months and its related to the National Security law which was imposed by beijing in hong kong last july now that law basically outlaws any separatism or any subversion against the government and since it was imposed dozens of people in hong kong have been arrested and many critics believe it crushes the rights and the freedoms guaranteed to hong kong people in the treaty between the u. K. And Mainland China during that handover period so many people have interpreted this move the be in a possible as a way are an avenue for people for the people who are concerned about their rights in hong kong to essentially flee hong kong into the u. K. Now one of the biggest critics of the National Security law was Boris Johnson the Prime Minister of the u. K. And his government and he recently expanded the rights of the b n o holders saying that they are able to apply to live and work in hong kong for about 5 years and eventually to seek citizenship and he said that this was honoring the ties and the friendship between the u. K. And hong kong people now this infuriated china and on friday Chinas Foreign Ministry spokesperson jolly jen said it was a gross interference of chinas sovereignty and also said the move was turning hong kong people into 2nd class british citizens now china not recognizing the being a pos but will be this way to be beijings way to block this move london did estimated only about 300000. 00 people would take up the u. K. s office but still this would have been hugely embarrassing for beijing. Floors of prodemocracy activists who fled to london from hong kong and he says he does not expect beijings decision to hold be in a possible to hold his rights a term of great u. K. For now we dont have much information about how to transfer them or carry out notion of the statement basically when one people get into Mainland China we dont use your passport we use the term permits and when we leave hong kong if Hong Kong Government is going to apply. The statement to the way that they have brought the control maybe we need to use the hong kong passport to leave the border and when we arrive in the u. K. We get in with all the and all possible for now if not all the actions you announced by the Chinese Government i dont see it. Really creating a lot of chaos in terms of getting people moving to you do you k. Or in their lives daily lives ok. It has clarified themselves online they dont know they have not reached any part of the sun the british on decoration yes they are just awful in a roots to 4 people and seem a great to do you and not changing the status of the and the identity of the people under that arrangement and of course we cant see china its the side reach. Of the british and approach your 1st bite of opening the National Security law and destroying freedom in hong kong so i think it is right for a response from the u. K. Government one of the people responsible for the Iran Nuclear Deal has been named as the new u. S. Special envoy to iran or heres a former top advisor to the Obama Administration and was part of the team that helped negotiate the 2015 deal but how many days ago it was that is head of the Public DiplomacyResearch Institute and he says that moneys understand the overrun could go a long way to furthering the growth of the oceans. Appointment up Robert Malley can be a positive signal to iranians since the person has been in the negotiations doing all my administration and he had a constructive and positive approach toward iran and he has a good understanding of the iranian i actually because a major problem that has been the theme iran United States for decades has been the issue dad to scientists dont seem to have a correct understanding from each other especially the americans from the rain so misunderstanding was a great hindrance in they will see asians talks or any relations between the 2 countries so if the person who hes now is appointed now is familiar with what you are scenes and youre in your mind sitting in demand then the talks can be constructing up for it if one demands that the americans need to remove the sanctions and compensate the damn damages and then we get back to day one then they basically is becoming some. Deal that is seemingly war king a u. S. Federal judge has ordered the extradition of 2 americans to japan whether accused of helping former miss and german colors go flee the country Michael Taylor a u. S. Army special forces veteran and his son are accused of assisting in 2019 and fled to lebanon on a private jet hidden in a box and was accused of financial crimes in japan charges that he denies the Award Winning american actress asli tyson has died at the age of 96 she was known for her portrayal of strong fiercely independent black women rob reynolds has this report now from los angeles. I dont want to be with you but cicely tyson was an actress of enormous skill a trailblazer and a role model for black women in theater film and television tyson was nominated for an Academy Award for sounder in which she played a strong sharecropper wife and mother struggling to keep her family together in depression era louisiana. In the 1974 Television Movie the autobiography of miss Jane Pittman Tyson portrayed a woman born in slaved living through the tribulations of the jim crow south and perseverance until the Civil Rights Movement dawned ok. That is. What is. In the climactic scene tyson as jane pittman defies menacing policeman to drink from a whites only water fountain symbolically triumphing over bigotry. Tyson received 2 emmy awards for the film she broke down barriers for not just black people in hollywood but for black women to particularly women of darkness yet she wanted to uplift the culture she wanted to change this the perceptions and not buy into the stereotypes that we know that hollywood and the Entertainment Industry has historically had for black people born in harlem to west indian immigrant parents tyson broke into show business at age 30 she rejected the standard roles of maid and mammy that hollywood ordained for dark skinned black actresses. Tyson appeared in dozens of Films Television shows and plays.

Now exports of cherries from chile to china have taken a hit that it has to be all because of a room on substantiated reports began circulating on chinese social media that traces a coded 19 were found in some boxes of cherries are not in america reports from santiago. All year long producers wait for this moment when their cherries go through the final stage of selection sanitation and packing before being shipped off to china for the chinese this color red brings good fortune so they import cherries mainly from chile to celebrate the Chinese New Year which starts next month but when an unsubstantiated story went viral on chinese social networks last week it brought misfortune to chiles multibillion dollar cherry industry if the money for my son not the same this was the result of non official information in china a rumor thats provoked a steep drop in demand that our government is working round the clock with the private sector to see what we can do. When claims began circulating that some imported cherries had been found to be tainted with coded 19 overnight exports plummeted from 500 to 0 containers a day australian cherry producers have also been impacted but not nearly as much as in chile which exports much larger quantities noice all know what weve never been formally accused of anything by chinese symmetry or customs with already stressed a story in the media that was never retracted it once who suffer most of the small and medium size produces whove invested everything they have and when to do basing basing on a good idea. The president of the Exporters Association says exports are picking up but at the cherries are being sold at a loss and time is running out its summertime in the Southern Hemisphere kathleen. Carries the week you believe valuable because they are happy and shit happens so its a time for the Chinese Market but i like these great these cherries well in just a matter of weeks. Chile has launched an intense counter offensive in china using intro lancers and scientists on social networks to try to convince consumers that their cherries are safe to eat all this is more than just bad luck it underscores just how vulnerable food exporters are to a negative tweet or story substantiated or not to see in human aljazeera.

Seeing those jaguars walk through that gate was kind of an epiphany that these things that just 10 years ago or 15 years ago we thought i dont know that we thought it was impossible but we thought that it was a long shot we have over the last 20 years not a lot of things that.
