or amongst our people you represent. i see that i see on the one side interest in jewish life in jewish. culture. and of course i see that. there are movements that. like you very far right parties which are quite successful in germany were people are you know have problems with foreign is or minorities and sometimes they maybe try you know to use one minority against the other so there are issues for sure and i think that's why i go a lot in school classes teaching about judaism also sometimes i go with a month to get there just to show that people should know different minorities and different groups just to know more about them and to to get to know more about minorities and how is it that how hasn't this become this and this happens and become part of germany's political their discourse what is it about germany or its people that has allowed it to blossom and bloom in this way. yeah i think that. i think that we we had this problem of course. in the industry and. always there are people who resent who have resentments against things they don't know. or they have fear things which are not true especially if we had have no coronaviruses that are again white in the middle of society we find people who who who want to connect to condemn make to to again to jews maybe or using the holocaust to. government measurements and use them and compare them to what happened to show us. that that problem is definitely there when we thank you for joining us thanks for your time. and very thank you. mentioned each year passes fewer and fewer survivors of the holocaust to tallahassee horrors one man who survived the auschwitz concentration camp has been speaking with about his experience and about the importance of remembering. peter you know hancock's had a sheltered childhood in a jewish family in transylvania. but it suddenly ended when he was 13 years old and so that's. the germans occupied transylvania 1944. a short time later we were deported to auschwitz my entire family was murdered there are various coincidences or i can also say with god's help i stayed alive. his sister and mother were immediately killed in the auschwitz gas chambers. pretended he was older and was sent to the areas concentration camps for forced labor. for the persecution of the jews and that year in auschwitz. and cal furthering might have hardened or non me emotionally they have that i was no longer able to react to things as a normal person would. shortly before liberation got off managed to escape he later went to university built a career and started a family. my wife and i lived together for 7 years before we got married. and i never talked about my past with her. sometimes i feel as if it were sunk in concrete. and cement. instead. now it is important for him to talk about it and about anti semitism today that worries the 90 year old very much. store was sawing grapefruit from south america and israel a grapefruit from job but the ones from jobs not out of jewish solidarity but because they are better they taste better the lady behind me said don't buy from jews. regrets that he can no longer go into schools as a contemporary witness due to the pandemic talking to young people brought him much joy. i'm 90 now there aren't many survivors of my age left and i guess none of us will be left in 20 years so it's good if it's recognised in schools and history books. it would be but you can't make the young generation and the next young generation and the one that follows them all responsible for it . you can't do that. all you can say is never forget. so of course survivor pets are your home garden speaking today w. can see more of our coverage of international holocaust remembrance day on our website at d w dot com. now let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world rushes up another house of parliament to ratify the extension of the last remaining nuclear arms control pact with the united states the lower house of the state duma voted unanimously to extend the new start treaty for 5 years of ok day after the u.s. president joe biden and russian president vladimir putin reached the deal. the chinese government says it flew warplanes near taiwan last weekend as a warning against foreign interference and separatist forces on the island taiwan scrambled military fighters on saturday and sunday to monitor chinese aircraft inside its defense identification zone. and the 53 people were killed when a passenger bus and a fuel truck collided and caught fire in western cameroon with r.t. say dozens of others were injured in the crash near the town of shan in the 30 people are being treated for burns in nearby hospitals the number of confirmed covered 19 cases has now passed 100000000 worldwide as cases continue to grow hope rests on vaccination programs being rolled out in countries around the world the european union's program began slowly now the c.e.o. of pharmaceutical company astra zeneca has told media the firm is not legally tied to a particular delivery time for its of vaccines as girl sorious comments came after the british swedish company announced a cut in supplies to the e.u. in the 1st quarter. in european commission has publicly expressed frustration at the company over the holdup take a closer look at this and other matters arising with dr. swamy nothing whose chief scientist for the world health organization joins us from geneva welcome to day w. but what do you make of this around. well you know the fact that we are at this stage a year after discovering a new virus we actually have not one but 7 vaccine candidates that are ready to be use in people is in itself i think something to celebrate and this was not expected or anticipated by anyone in their wildest dreams and it's really a testament to scientists all over the world both in the private and the public sector that have gotten us to this point now having said that of course the epidemic is surging in many parts of the world cases are increasing deaths are increasing and people and governments are getting increasingly desperate and the fact remains that you know vaccine manufacturing you know takes its time to scale up the number of doses and we're expecting those in the hundreds of millions and billions of entry from each of these companies so i think we also have to vote on its additions and and understand what the supply you know what their practical limitations are and then plan accordingly which is why the gun here joe has been saying we need to prioritize people who are at highest risk because our 1st priority should be to reduce deaths in the most vulnerable in countries across the warden around the world at the same time and then want to vaccinating more and more people so that we can we can start bringing transmission are so so we need to take a view that's realistic and at the same time fair and equitable and understand that but the point of fairness and equity equitability of there being good lots of calls from your own organization and other international organizations about the need to avoid a so-called vaccine nationalism so putting the arguments against national vaccine national into one side. if we have w.h.o. ready to tell governments that have access to vaccines to leave sections of their own populations unvaccinated in order to send those supplies to people half right way around the world who don't have supplies. yes that's exactly what we are seeing and what the director general called for last week he said it is really unfair that the young and healthy and relatively less at risk people in some countries get the vaccine by people of very high risk are still continuing to get the infection and dying in other parts of the world and therefore we must focus in these 1st few months of 2021 when supplies are going to be limited from all the new vaccines that are coming out and hopefully there will be more vaccines getting approved over the next few weeks but supplies are going to be limited demand is going to be huge and so we need to distribute what we have equally so that we can save lives in the short run and then scale it up you know to others eventually of course we want to vaccinate large parts of the population in order to bring an end to this fund demi but we have to do it step wise because i think it's not only mark right but also economically like because otherwise we're going to have health systems collapsing in some countries just because they're overwhelmed and health care workers are also getting sick or dying and again you were good enough to give me a straight answer the question i asked it's just simple in that that i know which bit of it are you saying yesterday so governments national governments who have vaccine should say to their own people we have it but you can't happen you can't have it because we're giving it to someone else. well i think he does have to explain to the people it's not that they don't need to protect their own people but yes you know and that's what's happening now you have i think of something like 60 countries where vaccines are being deployed got entry and majority of these are high income countries that are only 2 or 3 law or lower middle income countries where roxanne's even started being deployed so i think people you need to take the view of not a solid added unit or leader start getting that message i think it i think ordinary people will understand that. saddam hussein chose chief scientist not germany is considering additional radical steps to slow the spread of coverage 19 including drastically reducing international air travel to the country the government is worried that restrictions currently in place may not be enough if new more infectious variants of the virus continue to arrive in the country. for now german airports like frankfurt remain open to travel but that could soon be a thing of the past according to the german government the plan put forward by the country's interior minister means air travel into germany could be reduced to new 0 if the new more contagious variants of the coronavirus spiral out of control in a 1st step mandatory tests for people arriving in germany could be introduced. and we don't think about reducing our air travel to 0 we'll talk about more tests when you arrive in germany right now you can come from countries like egypt i was out having a test the fear of new variance is real in germany several hospitals have stopped new missions and some staff are in florentine because they've tested positive for them scientists are now feverish lee working on establishing just how widespread the mutations are. the german government once a year of white solution to stop the spread. skin take. for north ending highways in the musical we're still edging people to refrain from traveling to high risk countries particularly those where variants have been found. we're also discussing the european commission's new suggestions to tighten conditions for travel into the e.u. and for trance european travel with a lick of euros from the envy to for shaphan german politicians face a dilemma the current restrictions on public life in place until the 15th of february seem to be working the number of daily new infections has been falling overall but in light of the threat posed by the new variants of the virus it's highly likely that they'll have to be extended. well a significant as well as significant physical effects that is affecting the mental health of many people including the young in france where universities are closed students have been asking for more to. port from the government especially after several told our lives our next report is from strasburg in the east of the country . since the beginning of the pandemic this room has become the center of heidi's supports life it's where she studies attends online lectures and spends her free time watching movies a daily routine that has taken its toll on the 1000 year old. earth well i lack any kind of enthusiasm i just feel hollow and i don't see any sense in life anymore i mean credibly nervous and cry for the slightest reason i am a lot more short term pert and have become a control freak regarding anything that i can actually still control i don't feel like going for walks anymore it just costs too much energy with it although i'm normally quite a lively person and listen to those most serious and you know me. in her despair she published a letter to president on social media asking him to read open the university's she signed the letter heidi support a zombie visit environmental i had been talking to a few friends about this how sick i was of the situation i had the impression that people had forgotten about us young no one understood what it's like for us even among students it was too boot to talk about it so i wanted to get through to the government but also to other students people in general. and she succeeded hundreds of other students contacted her to share their own similar stories across the country thousands of students took to the streets. president personally wrote back to heidi asking her to hold out then he announced new measures of support only to young. the students have the same needs as workers so they will also be allowed to come. back to university for one day per week women are needed he did before the prison here heidi is glad that her cry for help was heard but she remains realistic division says that it's a start at least certain student escalations can offer activities again as some students will come back in the long run though living and one day per week enough and i know that the months to come will be very tough although at least we now feel a bit less invisible. the prospect of the partial reopening has given her the energy to go for walks again and help her see the future in a brighter light. report was produced by d.w. correspondent lisa lewis who joins us now from paris welcome lisa so what is being done to help students while the government has put in place several measures for example they can buy students can buy to me as per day for one euro they get psychological support they also can ask the administration to you exit mind their situation to get higher subsidies so more higher student loans really nevertheless according to recent polls about 80 percent of the students here are really worried about their future especially if they will be for able to find a job after they will have finished their studies my view unemployment here in the country is on the rise and experts are expecting it to rise to go up further after the pandemic ends especially when the government subsidies to many companies here in the country will take an end and so experts are expecting a lot of bankruptcies in the mirror in the months and years to come well i'm just winding our focus is france in its fight against pandemic. the figures are going up slightly not by a lot but they are going up the latest figures in infection figures in a day were 22000 in france at the moment as opposed to other countries around us we are still in a curfew situation there's a curfew in place across the country from 6 o'clock at night to 6 o'clock in the morning the government is now mulling though if they want to put in place a proper lockdown the government has also said that vaccination is obviously the only way they want to increase the number of people vaccinated mind you france is one of the world's most that since skeptic countries a few years few weeks spec polls show that 60 percent of the french didn't want to get vaccinated against covert 90 now that has slightly improved it's actually the other way around now 60 percent of the french are saying we want to get vaccinated because they see that this can actually go on for a lot longer especially if other strains are coming into the country as the more grafts of english strain of covert 19 the government has said that as i said they want to vaccinate a lot of people this year they say by the end of august 70000000 people the whole of the population population will be vaccinated but they will have to accelerate in . really accelerate their companions they're going to reach that goal. of our lives in this parish. quick look now some of the other developments in this pandemic are from today people in slovakia who want to leave their homes for any reason will be required to carry a certificate showing they have tested negative for corona virus meanwhile moscow is easing its coverage of restrictions or metaphor in new cases bars restaurants and nightclubs will be allowed to stay open through the night and the
