germany's museum opens they don't offer more than 3 months of lockdown to the baba reviews in is near the end it will be opening with a back. truck to its blockbuster rembrandt's. i'm a hell of a 100 thanks for joining us a growing number of countries including germany france italy and spain have suspended the use of the astra zeneca corona virus vaccine over fears the shots could cause blood clots however both the european medicines agency and the world health organization say there is no evidence that the vaccine is unsafe. and other such back in an already troubled vaccination campaign germany france italy and spain because. the latest european countries to stop administering the astra zeneca vaccine over fears it causes blood clots. and stuff to keep up confidence in this vaccine we now have to give our experts in germany and the european union time to review these recent cases they must also clarify the question of whether the benefits of vaccination continue to outweigh possible risks so this should be easy . and i know because one thing is clear not vaccinating also has serious health implications and that review process is what we're waiting on now. french president . said his government would await a statement by the european medicines agency due on tuesday before deciding if the vaccine is put back into use. this is your 80 piece on the decision that was taken in accordance with our european policy is to suspend the astra zeneca vaccination as a precautionary measure in the hope that it will be resumed quickly if the european medicines agency allows it see livy. e.-m. a only last week declared that there are no indications that people who have received the astra zeneca vaccine are more likely to develop blood clots british prime minister boris johnson who is quick to dismiss concerns over a vaccine that has already been administered to over 11000000 people in the u.k. . we have one of the toughest and most experienced regulators in the world they see no reason to discontinue the back to nation program purpose and they are plenty of. vaccines that we're currently using either of vaccines that are currently using the u.k. vaccination drive as racing ahead of the e.u. efforts to inoculate its population against covert 19 with an increasing number of european countries putting their astra zeneca vaccinations on hold that lead is likely to grow. well for more on this let's speak to mohamed moneer who is a viral adjusts at the university of lancaster thank you very much indeed for being here what do you make of the suspension of the sexy. well really i mean when we are talking to this kind of situation the only big coming out of it is to look on. what data states are because data has been dictating for the approval of the vaccine for the safety of the vaccine for the i think is you have to vaccine and if we look onto the doubt until now 17000000 people have already been vaccinated with this. was any of actually not only for be cases were for kids with a blood clot which make it only point 0002 and as number stake is significantly lower than what we would have normally expected in population normally we expect one in $1000.00 people would get. blood clot and it is an almost a construction so based on the numbers and the data there is apparently no link between the blood clot and those from than a car accident so we know that a number of countries have obviously despite evidence suggesting that there isn't any proof that you know it is linked to blood clots most of these countries are saying that this is precautionary but it doesn't really instill faith in people who would want to take it. absolutely realizing one of the major concern i have is out of this whole scenario on suspending of the astra zeneca vaccine is that the vaccine as a 10 c. would increase particularly in countries where austin sen vaccine has already dented and confidence its an example in germany but i think moving forward what we what we need to make sure is that on the revenue to border regional and a continued level have to make sure that this cause has been only cautionary and the data backed up that there is no correlation because we know who in so we are taking the risk of having more vaccine has it and see less intake and that is already causing the trouble with the supply of the vaccine and that sort of is on the edge so certainly the situation in the next 2 weeks need to be watched very carefully so as you say looking forward mohamed what evidence should scientists be looking at to determine if this vaccine does have any link to but if you could just maybe elaborate a little bit more on that absolutely so whenever we have a minister who acts into any person that record is kept like this person has been vaccinated $1.00 or 2 those or whatever so dark they're called can be tracked respectively looked into whether the people who have not yet been vaccinated and the people who have been vaccinated is there any difference in correlation with a blood clot and then we look into what the number of people who have had a lot of clogged this year after vaccination compared to last 5 years evident data show based on all these figures one can clearly conclude is that any increased trend or not just to put into perspective 19 inspection decrease the blood clot formation so therefore i really see that this vaccine would have much more advantages than any sort of disadvantage that is precluded at this moment ok that's 100 bonaire from the university of lancaster thank you very much indeed stephan taken the time to speak to us here. thanks for having me. well let's take a look now at other stories making headlines around the world the official instagram account of kremlin critic

now has never traveled far from home but that didn't stop him from painting faraway places you little about a new exhibition called rembrandt's orient has opened here near berlin germany's museums are finally emerging from 4 months of crown of virus lock down but nobody knows how long the government says they can stay open if infection rates don't rise . museums in germany can open once again but they have to implement safety measures here at pottstown as museum barbara greening art lovers must buy their tickets online get their temperature taken and leave their contact details. the number of visitors has been drastically limited to only a 3rd of what it was in pretend demick times but those who are here welcome the reopening. for leave visiting a museum is normal and ordinary i go quite often and it was pretty difficult for me to stay at home and look at exhibitions online so yeah i'm really happy. but i've been good on this and if everyone's a bit careful keeps their distance and looks out for each other then i think it can work. and get us. this new normal also meant that organizing the new rembrandt exhibition came with a few challenges for a museum director or to dress tied up. as valuable as this. village just ticks were extremely difficult pictures of this quality and value are usually accompanied by conservators but that couldn't be the case here so we installed the 6 a bishop along with 26 virtual couriers. each time a picture was unpacked and evaluated it was done during a video conference with a representative of the lenders. by. the results are breathtaking works by 17th century master rember. and and his contemporaries are an invitation to dive into the dutch golden age of painting and understand how artists reacted to what was new to them. turbans carpets and lush fabrics through their art rembrandt and his fellow dutch painters illustrated the beginnings of globalization and showed the influence of foreign cultures during the early modern period the west east encounter but one that was never on equal footing. because it's an owning one of these objects was a real treasure it was a sign of education luxury and affluence so it started a whole trend where the dutch themselves started to be protected wearing turbans even if it times they didn't know exactly which culture it came from what they had little knowledge of distant countries in. latin land. like most of his contemporaries rembrandt never left the netherlands he and his fellow artists represented the foreign as reflected through their own set of values and their understanding of the world. that extended to their many depictions of biblical scenes which they often enrich with exotic elements taking great liberties with the stories. even if their representation is were sometimes fanciful the paintings show how artists helped shape a view of the foreign at a time when very few people could go see these places for themselves. alone and this exhibition really takes the visitor to a long ago century and distant countries so the yearning that was associated with these places during rembrandt's time still resonates today. in these days of drastically limited travel and social contact the museum barberini offers visitors a chance to explore far away cultures a welcome interlude in these uncertain times. well to alaska now and the i did see rod which is one

marriage the disruption to vaccination plans for health officials so far stand by the gem. also coming up folks welcome once an octet office thrown out has a new plan to beef up battery production will take a look under the hood. and the growth of viruses plague supply chains around the world but for pig farmers there's a much more frightening pestilence out there. walking to the show i'm seriously in berlin it's good to have you with us france italy germany and spain have joined the growing list of countries putting a general pause on the distribution of astra zeneca vaccine further complicating vaccination plans and their decisions came after other european countries suspended use of the jab last week following reports of blood clots. institute recommended suspension on monday after seeing a quote noticeable accumulation of reports of blood clot cases over the weekend of the world health organization the e.u.'s medicines regulator and the maker of the jab all insist it is safe as the latest controversy for the drug maker astra zeneca which has repeatedly failed to meet its vaccines a livery targets. are for more on this i'm joined by the business colleague clifford kuhn and here in studio clifford good to have you on the show we keep hearing the same formula we know by heart vaccines are necessary to get the global economy back in order how big a role does astra zeneca play in this overall scheme well as you say i think it's clear the vaccination will be crucial regarding the timing and the speed of which we get through the pandemic and the economic damage that it's done and i think. is a key factor in the bottle it's the cheapest in many ways of the virus of the of the vaccinations that have already been approved it's also the it's the easiest to transport and it's the one that seems to work best in developing countries. so it's very very important that it remains part of of the package of things that we have to do with the coronavirus and this is one area i think where the virologist and the where the scientists and the economists really agree that it's going to take a package of of different vaccinations to to really start bringing an end to the pandemic and astra zeneca is going to be a big part of out. in the e.u. have been somewhat at odds even before this happened there's been quite a history of china to what's been going on well this has been going back now a few months astra zeneca made a lot of promises early on about deliveries which it didn't manage to meet and then on top of that came there were it didn't meet its promises to the e.u. but it did meet and to britain on this call some bad blood on it there was a lot of there was some to and fro between the e.u. . and nick about this since then they've they've they've provided quite a lot of vaccines i think germany is currently sitting on around 3000000 vaccines and 1400000 of those are astra zeneca so so everyone is hoping that this will will suddenly be this will only be a brief hiatus because the vaccination program needs to continue. countries in africa are going to be looking to the e.u. to see what they decide because it's very important you know we had earlier hiccups with. with astra zeneca in south africa because it wasn't seen as being as effective against a variant there and countries like the democratic republic of congo they also stopped delayed there's in response to what the e.u. is doing so we really need to get the situation resolved as quickly as possible i think if this valuable part of the vaccination program is to continue. is also shows a lot about how supply lines of. supply lines of come really on supply chains have come to dominate this whole aspect of the of the bottles so against the coronavirus so i think what we're going to see now is an increased effort to end this current delay and get the vaccines back out there all right we'll be watching good businesses clifford conant within syria thank you so much. and we go now to some of the other global business stories making headlines. germany's id code will produce the single dose johnson and johnson corona virus vaccine over the next 3 months the vaccine received a conditional approval for use in europe last week id he will use capacity previously reserved by japan's to cater to make fever shots he is already producing astra zeneca is coping 1000 jab as well as developing its own shot against the corona virus a french food giant unknown has dismissed its chairman following months of complaints about the company's poorly performing stock a man while faber took the helm of the no one and 2017 quickly butting heads with activist shareholders over social issues and layoffs. a new report by the stockholm international peace research institute or sipri says the united states accounted for more than a 3rd of global arms sales in the past 5 years while saudi arabia was the number one importer german weapons exports grew by over 20 percent in the 2nd half of the past decade. stripe is now the most valuable private startup in the u.s. valued at $95000000000.00 the online payments company was founded in 2010 by 2 irish brothers it drew $600000000.00 in its latest financing round. let's go over to the auto industry where the race to mainstream the electric vehicle is heating up folks wagon announced monday its plans to create 6 european giga factories by the end of the decade with a combined annual production of 240 kg gigawatt hours now facility in sweden will begin production in 2023 and gradually ramp up to 40 gigawatt hours of output annually plans call for a 2nd facility in germany and 2025 volkswagen has made no secret of its goal to dethrone tesla as the world's leading electric automaker german car maker also announcing plans to expand its network of charging stations 5 fold but 2025. are let's go over to our financial correspondent in new york. yes everyone is focused on tesla when it comes to electric vehicles will the company be easily caught. well i mean there's no question that the market in general is getting more crowded here in the united states for example if you look at general motors or ford they're planning in the next couple of years to more or less go all into electric vehicles and if you look at the market share of tesla that has already dropped them in you were all been in the united states it has been quite dim stable in asia and if you look at the stock price i mean the stock was on fire last year actually gaining about 700 percent but since then the stock has dropped around to 25 percent and having that said i mean 1st of all yes the market share in some reasons from tesla is dropping but overall the market is definitely still growing and if you look for example the future plans of tests they're planning this production facility in germany for instance and was that they could bring the costs down quite a bit because they don't have to ship the cars by ships and the more and so that will bring costs down and i've seen some reports that eventually tesla might be even able in europe for the vehicles for 20 percent less so tesla definitely can survive in this environment but that they're going to lose more market share at this point at least seems to be quite likely as more and more companies in europe and in the united states and at some point probably also in asia will enter this market. thank you. well the growth of our spending that has shaken economies for more than a year now another illness however has affected farmers over the past year african swine fever it's doesn't need pick stocks in china and recently it's hit germany very hard now some pig farmers there are barely able to make ends meet. these pigs are destined for the slaughterhouse after spending 4 months fattening them up farmer painters says are next to nothing for them pork sales are down because of the coronavirus and an outbreak of african swine fever has led to a collapse in exports to asia. current market prices are not enough to sustain his farm long term. gets more in the last few months things got dramatically worse we were getting one euro $2110.00 for a kilogram of live weight that just about covers the cost of feed but nothing else . because in times of isaac since last fall authorities have been discovering infected wild boars in the eastern german states of saxony and brandenburg the animals died from african swine flu the virus which cannot be passed on to humans entered the country from poland the outbreak prompted authorities to install a series of electric fences on the border in order to stop wild boars from entering . kilometers of additional wire mesh fencing were then added hunters are killing more wild boars too thanks to these measures the disease has not yet spread beyond saxony and brandenburg. the result has led to regional differences among pig farmers in germany. large scale operations in western states have been largely unaffected by african swine flu and have been able to sell their produce to countries like vietnam singapore and thailand. doesn't exist this is really important for germany because in asian countries they consume the parts of the pig that we don't like to eat my ears knuckles cheek awful and fat buttons. back to paint as a goes farm while the price of pork is rising slightly again he says he's done he's reducing the number of p.c. homes and he wants to rent out the freed up space and storage was the college individual this is my colleagues tell me that you can actually earn more wrenching your study out than by keeping pigs in it that really stings at the same time he cannot imagine giving up pig farming entirely right now he still has 2500 pigs to take care of. and

spent that time by playing pieces by schubert and. said he wanted to give something back. speaking of surprises the owners of a tapas bar in spain got a big one there renovation project turned out to be an archaeological discovery it turns out there bar in the city of seville was originally a 12th century bathhouse archaeologists are stunned at the find with dozens of star shaped skylights and exceptionally well preserved paintings dating back to the period of muslim rule 800 years ago. well the 17th century painter rembrandt fun ryan never traveled far from home but that didn't stop him from painting faraway places he knew very little about a new exhibition called rembrandt's orient has opened here in germany now germany's museums are finally emerging from 4 months of coronavirus lockdown but no one knows for how long the government says they can stay open if infection rates don't rise. museums in germany can open once again but they have to implement safety measures here at potsdam as museum barberini art lovers must buy their tickets online get their temperature taken and leave their contact details. the number of visitors has been drastically limited to only a 3rd of what it was in pretend demick time but those who are here welcome the reopening. in this economy visiting a museum is normal and ordinary i go quite often and it was pretty difficult for me to stay at home and look at exhibitions online so yeah i'm really happy. for a good understand if everyone's a bit careful keeps their distance and looks out for each other then i think it can work off and get us. this new normal also meant that organizing the new rembrandt exhibition came with a few challenges for a museum director or 2 quest tied up. as follow get this in the diligence sticks were extremely difficult pictures of this quality and value are usually accompanied by conservators but that couldn't be the case here so we installed the 6 a bishop along with 26 virtual couriers. each time a picture was unpacked and evaluated it was done during a video conference with a representative of the lenders. by. the results are breathtaking works by 17th century master rembrandt and his contemporaries are an invitation to dive into the dutch golden age of painting and understand how artists reacted to what was new to them turbans carpets and lush fabrics through their art rembrandt and his fellow dutch painters illustrated the beginnings of globalization and showed the influence of foreign cultures during the early modern period the west east and. counter but one that was never on equal footing so i thought so because it's in owning one of these objects was a real treasure it was a sign of education luxury and affluence so it started a whole trend where the dutch themselves started to be protected wearing turbans even if it times they didn't know exactly which culture it came from what they have little knowledge of distant countries and. by the fountain. like most of his contemporaries rembrandt never left the netherlands he and his fellow artists represented the foreign as reflected through their own set of values and their understanding of the world. that extended to their many depictions of biblical scenes which they often enrich with exotic elements taking great liberties with the stories. even if their representation is were sometimes fanciful the paintings show how artists helped shape a view of the foreign at a time when very few people could go see these places for themselves. as i was telling them this exhibition really takes the visitor to a long ago century and distant countries so the yearning that was associated with these places during rembrandt's time still resonates today. in these days of drastically limited travel and social contact the museum barberini offers visitors a chance to explore far away cultures a welcome interlude in these uncertain times. and we'll take you one more place before we go to the snowy climes of siberia
