of air finity a science information and analytics company welcome to the program. mr johnson why is the european union struggling to secure its vaccines. will will the e.u. has has made some wrong bets early on in independent make they haven't scaled up production in at the same speed as other countries have been laid out to make the deals and therefore they are having more supply issues to and then the u.k. and also the u.s. at the moment. and how will these export controls affect the use vaccine supply. well i think the problem is that in with these controls everyone loses out right because you have to look at it broader than just export of a few if finished vaccine right that goes a lot of ingredients into the vaccines in the 1st basic come from all over the world you need syringes unique while vials and also you need fuel and finished in other places so the moment we don't have a free flow of medicine across borders the whole production will actually eat it is at risk of being being hold it so i think it won't benefit the e.u. a lot you know you would get maybe a little bit more of the vice of axioms if it stopped a 1000000000 plant folks exporting that to the u.k. but we're talking 30000000 and you know with the with the u.k. . population that's not going to make a huge difference now w.h.o. is also worried about the effects that this will have on vaccine production at not just in europe of course globally and how will the rest of the world be affected by these vaccine acts for controls. well so so so short term i think you know there isn't a lot of exports going on yet at the moment most countries actually tend to to to to use their own domestic production but longer term this is an incredibly dangerous to take a country like india india is said to produce several billions of vaccines of india start saying we're not going to export any of that then the whole kovacs many low and middle income countries will be hugely a brisk and also going back to the e.u. if you look at the epic happy to their perspective the e.u. doesn't actually have a lot of production inside the e.u. for approved vaccines u.s. has many more u.k. has more and also a country like switzerland the e.u. might be dependent on already is for that madonna import so evil is also longer term actually risking having some of its own issues so so short term it won't make a big difference and long term it really puts the whole world at risk. rasmus hansen of analytics company air finity thank you. germany is imposing a travel ban on countries most affected by new

in spanish slums. and working from dizzying heights in turkey but it's we begin in germany where the media is reporting new covert 19 deaths every day a new initiative wants to make a grief more public by reminding the country that there are real people behind these numbers. it's the 8th sunday that close john schmidt has come here to send out candles a visual reminder of those who have died from cove at 19. he's not the only one doing this. germany may have done better than other countries at the beginning of the pandemic but the death toll now stands at more than 50000. on us but yes during the 1st wave other countries had these kinds of numbers and i felt like we just accepted it here with a shrug. we thought we needed images to make death something you can see that's why we started this initiative. under much anybody because. many people come here to talk about the disturbingly high number of new cases others come because they've lost someone who says i'm far from the fog or it's just a question of where you can show grief or where can you go to experience this feeling peacefully like in a cemetery and that's how it should be here. others want to make a statement to show that the coronavirus is a real danger. and the stakes get the feel of the there are so many people who just deny the whole thing we should all just hold back to keep our distance so that this

the conditions are deplorable in this neighborhood on the outskirts of madrid drug gangs are allegedly topping powerlines residents feel forgotten by the spanish state. it's bitter cold this morning here in kenya that riyadh on the outskirts of madrid some 4500 residents live here in what may be europe's biggest informal settlement since a power cut in october they've been without electricity many inhabitants of moroccan or roma origin most live in poverty conditions how worst in sectors 5 and 6 of the county area because of the cold many like family now don't even have water . other places how would normally wash our clothes and then we'll hold our hands by the fire. but we don't have electricity we don't have water we don't know what to do. authorities blame the power outage on a surge thought to be caused by illegal wiretaps to power cannabis grow operations in sectors 6 most of madrid's illegal narcotics come through here we can film openly here it's too dangerous but people we speak to confirm they too have no electricity. back in sector 5 a mother who wants to stay anonymous invites us into her house the kids are bundled up and tending classes online but just as long as her phone charger and mobile data lost. when they get upset i try to give them strength i tell them imagine you were sick or he didn't have hands i was trying to give them strength i realise that i don't have any more strength myself. it's a similar story for neighbors one man likely died due to the cold and the baby was hospitalized with hypothermia many are resorting to using propane diesel generators car batteries are stoves. it's expensive and very risky says rahma from the neighborhood association. she says that at least 40 people here have suffered carbon morningside poisoning. the point in all that us be a light fires and when they notice that the fires dwindle and they throw on more logs on to keep the house warm and because the fire consumes the oxygen this has adverse effects they wake up with headaches or nausea that is a money order that will meet those several n.g.o.s have condemned the situation here. is how to feed back door to here now but like i know that they are in 2017 the authorities signed a regional agreement ensuring dignified living conditions for the residents of the county are that they are. all there said this is it. in this agreement also cover to providing electricity to the settlement for me through electrical some few families have been offered gas heaters and the opportunity to relocate the power utility now wants to shut down illegal taps however many here in kenya that reality feel forgotten i think that if authorities were serious about helping it already have tables clear solutions. landfill sites in russia are a
