to the shore foreign ministers of the european union have agreed to impose sanctions on 4 senior russian officials who they say are responsible for sending opposition leader alexei navalny to prison the sanctions are expected to be formally approved by the e.u. next month russia has called the move quote unlawful on that matter that's. not. protesters in brussels reading aloud just some of the names of the nearly 400 people that you say are behind bars in russia for pollute. the reasons. they gathered outside the european council headquarters ahead of monday's meeting to demand the e.u. nor. inside it was one of those names in particular which sparked the e.u. into action the jailing of opposition leader alexina vanny. in response to events around. we are richer political that we've been doing. measures against the response of its oppressed sentencing and persecution. the decision came fairly quickly with the blocks $27.00 foreign ministers voting unanimously to clear the way for fresh sanctions the expected measures include asset freezes and travel bans this will be made possible under a new framework that allows the e.u. to take action over human rights violations worldwide. the move is likely to set the a you want to collision course with russia moscow has previously threatened to retaliate or even cut ties if new sanctions are applied. despite there's no valid need supporters believe targeted sanctions are the only way forward. the strongest us will be groups such as the close allies the. procession the. russian economy these. russian. for. the details of the sanctions are yet to be worked out but will be announced in the coming weeks only then will it be clear just how effective they may be. brussels correspondent teri schultz watched the debate unfold and she had this to say about those russians likely to be targeted by the sanctions and those who want big e.u. foreign policy chief joseph burrell is expected to submit the names of at least 4 high ranking russian officials as the 1st people targeted under the block's new global human rights sanctions mechanism the force said to be directly involved with the prosecution and imprisonment of opposition activists alexina vonnie they are expected to be russia's prosecutor general along with the head of the prison service the head of the committee investigating of only and the head of russia's national guard now those closed in of all they had hoped there would be more names on that list those closest to russian president vladimir putin the wealthy oligarchs with the reasoning that if they were made uncomfortable they would put pressure on putin to change his ways but the e.u. burrell notes that the process of putting sanctions on someone is a very legally rigorous one and so his list will most likely include only these 4 names for now he expects the process to be wrapped up already in a week or so now the e.u. consistently says it still hopes for better ties with moscow but at the moment that looks less likely than ever as news of the new sanctions broke the russian foreign ministry released a statement calling the sanctions illegal and disappointing and saying the e.u. has missed a chance for a better relationship. and that was terry sold sim brussels there will one of the key voices in the e.u. sanctions vote was the stoney and foreign minister even the real limits as to on your borders russia and has huge concerns over e.u. russian relations earlier ms limits told d.w. that the targeted sanctions were a smart move i think that there we came to a very important conclusion to give political guidance to our experts on how to proceed with sanctions i think that it is very strong signal and also it is so very good care to be can use the 1st day e.u. human rights sanctions mechanism for that but it's not the 1st time the european union is imposing sanctions against russian officials and so far the kremlin didn't seem to be impressed at all so why do you think that this time it's going to be different it is really unfortunate that our air our signals to or to russia have not had this kind of impact that they would wish because with these sanctions to be definitely would like to show that i share that there it there shall fulfill international obligations that the country has voluntarily taken and recently estonia expelled a russian diplomat there russia expelled an authority and diplomat how would you describe your country's relationship with russia at the moment for us tonight is very important to have good neighborly relations with russia as we are neighbors we have a long border with russia. however in current circumstances when we see russia's aggression towards its neighbors the territorial integrity of neighboring countries and also our none fulfillment of international obligations especially in human rights and fundamental freedoms of course unfortunately it is not possible it is very important that european countries continue to have a united approach with regard to the e.u. russia relations minister limits thank you very much for your time thank you. that was the estonian foreign minister eva maria limit speaking to our brussels bureau chief alexander of our nominee well the e.u. has also agreed to sanction myanmar's military over the diplomats say the sanctions could target companies controlled by the army earlier u.n. secretary general antonio good terrorists called on the army to immediately holt's what he called its court brutal force and repression thousands of pro-democracy protesters

continue their quote riot and anarchy undeterred tens of thousands again flocked to the streets in the biggest act of defiance yet seen in this standoff. was c. scenes like this have been nonstop since a coup ousted democratically elected leader aung sun suu kyi 3 weeks ago the killing of 3 people by police has only served to make many protesters move defiant many have put their jobs on hold

when you look at the past few days the chief justice isolates presidential where most of and so much as the judiciary has come out to say to us those meetings were not connected to the petition their position is not believing that but the wind is saying that in line with such close to present your missive and it cannot be the same month in this siege of a judge they do not believe that he will be able to deliver an independent opinion in court. bubby one talks about taking the case away from the course and giving it to the public opinion what do you mean by that what do i meant is that his

completely different stick just on the hudson he has to go in when you was a member of parliament he had a chance to table issues into parliament but he's the leader of the opposition he's now organizing he's is now holding a completely different position but a greater influence 1 may say so what his going to do now perhaps is to organize more peaceful if you call it a ship within their ranks of the opposition and find a way of managing things the way they look i do moment because without a doubt prison was 7 an hour yes no challenge in court tuesday likely to go to go forward and be

grounding of some of its triple 7 following a catastrophic engine failure not less than 1st suburbs littered with plane debris . german trainees are working hard to earn their certificates but with many businesses still locked down some are finding there's not an awful lot to do. there are just song things people miss about home including for those who flee will see how one refugee is bringing the taste of his roots to australia. this is the w. business i'm john album allow and so glad you can join us. another setback for aircraft manufacturer boeing following an engine failure in the skies over dad for colorado the us federal aviation authority now wants to inspect all triple 7200 the engine exploded into flames on saturday raining debris down onto a denver suburb boeing itself has now recommended that airlines suspend use of those jets until inspections can be completed. moments of horror for the 231 passengers and 10 crew members aboard the boeing 777201 route from denver to honolulu one of the plane's engines exploded into flames and debris rained down to the ground. and it was like the worst 20 minutes i was just brain and i was like the kid no. i was in use these be. the oldies but goodies in there we had landed short. and my leg would be ending like that. the plane made an emergency landing in denver no injuries were reported but united airlines announced that it would ground 24 aircraft until the national transportation safety board finished its investigation. a total of $128.00 boeing triple 7 zar affected the large twin jets are grounded for the time being most are older models and that includes the 26 year old united claim all of the boeing 7772 hundreds in question have pratt and whitney p.w. 4000 engines boeing has delivered 6900 of the planes japanese authorities have now issued a flight ban as a precaution affecting japan airlines and all nippon airways this is not been the 1st problem with the boeing triple 7200 on december 4th there was a similar engine failure. and that's not even the only disaster linked to boeing over the weekend on saturday pieces of 874-7400 cargo plane came down in a small dutch town injuring 2 people here to tell us what this latest stretch of misfortune will mean for boeing is our financial correspondent and court joins us now from new york can you tell us how is this latest emergency affecting boeing. it's clearly not a great p.r. when you see those images of engine parts of lying in front or a backyard spot to bring that into a perspective the issues that we see in which the triple 7 models cannot be compared to the disaster that we've seen was the 7378 planes if you will a look at who delivers the engine so so far it's only engines from a president with me that we heard before that are affected and those 777 planes was present with me engines only make up about 7 percent of the entire triple 7 feet so it's not that mess if but having that said clearly a great p.r. looks a different way and we did see the stock of buoying trading about 2 percent lower in the monday session terrible p.r. indeed it but stay right where you are against there's more i'd like to discuss and from a big company like boeing they go to small businesses president joe biden announced more targeted pandemic assistance for businesses with fewer than 20 employees here's what he had to say we will ensure every dollar spent well the change will bring much needed long overdue to help to small businesses who really need help staying open maintaining jobs and making ends meet and this is a starting point not the ending point we need congress to pass my american rescue plan it deals with the immediate crisis facing our small businesses and we're back with our financial correspondent and scored to in new york yes what can small businesses actually expect from biden's plan. then 1st of all just to bring that also into earth perspective and see how important such a move in general is small businesses with less than 20 employees stand for about 98 percent of all small businesses here in the united states but they've only received less than 50 percent for the p.p.p. loan so it seems to be the right step in the right direction at that time window is rather narrow above for the next 2 weeks those. employees with over those companies was less than 20 employees have. the 1st right so to speak to get to some of those loans i've actually spoken to small business owners like a hairdresser for instance and he said the whole process is so complicated and it's also not 100 percent clear how and if he has to repay the money so he actually did give the money back so it's not 100 percent certain how effective it with this program will be but overall there were there was a lot of support to this measure as a set especially small business owners in many instances had no chance to get to those loans why i thought because of the organizations like the l.a. lakers for example or also harvard and yale they received in the 1st round and some of those loans even if after public outcry they repaid the money later and collector there for us talking about bigger and 1st smaller businesses thank you very much. now to some of the other global business stories making news. germany may soon change transportation laws to allow more ride sharing services but the reforms don't go

be even here at this time of day but today there are only 10 all due to the lockdown it looks even worse at the almodovar hotel in berlin for a good sign it's had to close down for the time being aspiring hotel manager mario fuji checks in and out nonexistent customers with his instructor he's anxious about his upcoming exam. and. of course i can practice my job properly and in school we're

different when i try to explain to the trainee via skype how you should set a table it works better here on site that's why it's much harder for those who just started in the fall than for those who are nearing the end of their training and. the tear park hotel on the other hand is the least open for some business trainee stephen dart a can prove himself in practice but he's worried about his theoretical exams because his vocational school has been closed since the lockdown. with homeschooling i have to learn everything myself and the german language is a bit difficult for me. even if everything ran smoothly his colleague my a petrol thinks it would still be difficult to find a job. even skilled workers are working shorter hours these days they couldn't afford to hire any more staff because. they'll probably be no relief until after the lockdown until then mario fuji will continue practicing and hope the industry will soon recover. leaving your homeland can often mean

of an hour. we feature the novel damien by. one of the most widely read and translated german authors of the 20th century. the british photographer i was the philip wife who shows us the unintended beauty to be found in modern industrial landscapes quite. but we begin in the theater which has been particularly hard hit for almost a year now by this terrible pandemic performances with a live audience are practically existent but artists are by their very nature creative and completely new worlds are emerging on the internet so how can fish productions be on screen like t.v. shows but still remains yeah. let's have a look at what some theaters here in germany have been doing to keep the cultural flag flying. is this room still a theater space stage or has it mutated into a television studio in the coronavirus era to take out a house you know like other german stages has had a radical crash course in digital presentation. in the beginning i saw quite a lot of these terrible streams in the 1st few weeks of the 1st lockdown it was really as if the worst was being dusted down just in order to have something to show and then in the final i felt like the 1st theater people were beginning to really understand how this media works and were making more specific production. than had i love life now. before we begin. yeah name in the past. when theaters try to conquer the digital space spoken theatre is at a disadvantage choreographers find it easier to make an impact on screen still actress sandra bullock believes the attempt to give drama its own digital form is worthwhile. sebastian you're often a last minute it's a bit of a hope that in the future theatre will perhaps think about this a bit more and there will be a kind of media library for the times when theater attendance is limited for whatever reason. so that you don't just have a camera in the middle of the auditorium during the 2nd transfer herself but there you really think about how you can make it work with these different means. after playing in both sides bog and liked kleist spent to see layer has ended up in virtual space. acclaimed production reduces the action to 2 characters it trusts the skills of 2 outstanding performers so under the whole law and hence hearts. sions the bill to fund the have to show the stoops to. rise i think i'm homebush but i know who didn't who by. the much hyped on its feet are will always fail if it tries to compete with netflix. ways fail if it tries to compete with the fast card highly professionalised film medium which is what a netflix series is but in that case here it is to listen i know it has to be the opposite raw cropped and that was the great thing to see the attitudes faces as they act not as they are in front of the camera when i come up i. remember a painter celia was shown exclusively as a live stream the screen. did a form of communal experience in the digital space as well. as on the pillows father. yeah yeah there's only spirit for that myth. insanity. that is fine but. it was also important to johan's humans and us in the end that you see that it is filmed so that you don't pretend we're making a film where the cameras are hidden but that they're visible and you make what we're actually doing here transparent that is making a hybrid of theater and television in streaming and digital or whatever you want to call it. in this seemingly endless winter of our discontent theatre is trying to expand its real space into the virtual even if hopefully in a few months place can be resumed with an audience performances will change as a result. because we are after all subject to such a large number of influences there's insta stories that are 15 2nd twitter with 340 characters and the countless netflix series and i think the other just can't completely close itself off to the. theatre continues to try to find its place in the digital jungle it will only survive there as long as its audience remembers what theater actually is. why to go to the theater again in our continuing series 100 german must reads a book by one of the great german office of the 20th century has damien is what's called a big. literally an education because it explores the psychological and moral growth of the main character and sinclair sinclair by the way is actually a thinly disguised version of has himself
