help diffuse tensions before? a red line is crossed, and jermel lawmaker square up for a debate over expanding the vaccine mandate. already health care workers must get the job starting march or risk losing their jobs. ah, i'm little hard. thank you so much for joining. yes, well we begin this broadcasts what, what could potentially shape up to be make or break days for british prime minister bores johnson. the u. k. leader faced a grilling and parliament as his very political survival hangs in the balance. mister johnson rebuffed calls to resign and said he couldn't comment on an ongoing internal investigation into multiple alleged parties in downing street when the country was in lockdown. an inquiry into the gatherings is expected to be published within days. meanwhile, when his metropolitan police have also opened their own investigation home be ok, let's get you more. we can go to london to did up your correspondent charlottes at chelsea pill or charlotte, is this the prime minister's make or break moment suddenly being billed as such. later, in fact, it has been for several weeks with every new allegations surrounding a gathering attended either by the prime minister or some of his colleagues. additional pressure is being heaped on prime minister boris johnson. and then of course yesterdays, you mentioned this announcement of a police investigation into potentially criminal wrongdoing with a hammer below for this prime minister. now whether or not it's make or break that depends on what his own members of it, what is a members of his own party decide his future is essentially in their hands. and the feeling is that many a waiting for the findings of the c grey report that's that report as being lead internally into the allegations of those gatherings. and as you say, those findings are expected imminently. there was speculation. it could be today possibly tomorrow, possibly monday, but whatever that report details that's going to be scrutinized very closely by members of his own party, who are aware that every day that this scandal drags on more damage is being done to the, to their own party. i suggest show that we take a listener to permanent devoris johnson and his exchange with the opposition leader tear a summer that took moments that took place moments ago. ah, what are the he says in his statement later today or tomorrow won't change the fox . isn't this a prime minister on a government showed nothing but contempt for the decency honesty on respect to define this country? oh, this is beaca. we love this country. i'm a doing everything. you know, of course, of course he wants me out of the way. this is because it was going to be on the way i caught many people. i post a school to reasons many people may want me out of the way, but i'll tell you the reason he wants me out of the way because he knows that this government could be trusted to deliver a boisterous session there at the u. k. parliament. charlotte, this is not a man going without a fight. so he said as much in private as his question time, just short time ago. he said he has absolutely no plans to resign. he stressed that before and indeed for the 2nd week running, he came out really fighting when being questioned by the opposition. as you had there about these allegations. he's said repeatedly that though his spokesman repeated again yesterday that he didn't feel like a he had committed any wrong doing with regards to these parties. in fact, yesterday he said he welcomed the police investigations and he hoped it would draw a line on to this whole massive. but whether or not he thinks he's planning to reside in the future ultimately may not lie in his hands. it will be up to members of his own party to decide whether this is the man who they want to lead them, who they want to lead the country and really many and now waiting as i say, for the findings of that report in order to make that decision, but what is his standing in his political party right now and among the general public? well as take the public says, we know that there is a lot of anger among the british public at the moment, for weeks and weeks since the end of last year. there has been a pass now to pass in on the airways, talking about the sacrifices of ne, made but the same time as the as the, the prime minister. and so he's, colleagues, are accused of partying. there's been many stories of sacrifices idea that it one rule for those who made the rules. and another rule for every one else that's really resonated, of course, there are others. he still support the prime minutes to who i, who very much welcomed the financial support in particular, they've had during this pandemic. but the youngest on the streets, as we've had over and over again, is real. now, when it comes to members of his own party, there are some that think of course now is the time for the prime minister to go. this is proved so damaging for the party and some it publicly said that they'd like him to go well, they'd like to force a vote of no confidence, but they're all those as well who have been out on the air waves to day members of his own cabinet supporting the prime minister listing what they say are his successes, his achievements and stressing now is not the time for a change of leader shaw chelsea pill reporting from london. thank you. and we turn our attention, our 2 tensions between russia and ukraine, while the kremlin has said, a u. s. threat to impose personal sanctions on russian president vladimir putin would be destructive prison joe, by and says he might take that action if russia decides to invade ukraine. for we talks between germany, france, ukraine, and russia in paris to day aim to diffuse the crisis. german and french liter said they're committed to resolving the situations through situation rather through diplomacy. but they also renewed warnings that moscow would pay a heavy price for invasion. several western nations have put troops on alert and stepped up arms deliveries to ukraine, and eagerly awaited arrival at key of airport military equipment sent by the united states to shore up ukraine as it braces for a possible russian invasion. it's the 3rd shipment, but it's not enough to resist a bigger and better equipped army, according to government officials, the de headphones it own. please help us to convince the german government to be more proactive dba through a geren via we urgently need defensive weapons of often v as in july and were london when not in night. so i know you, nobody will send us troops and not even the american, the santa. we have to defend ourselves such i didn't. but germany's new government has not answered the coals at a meeting with french president emmanuel mc cronin. berlin, chancellor o left sholtes. once again, ruled out sending heavy weapons to give forgiveness good. there are reasons for this, which of course do stand from developments of a past years and decades to mr. so nevertheless, we have of course done a lot to actively support economic development and big and the development of democracy in ukraine, ultimate, with financial possibilities, spell and international responsibilities that we have just gotten develop odessa. and that's why trained knows that he can rely on germany. and i think that also shows politics to a large extent and approach that is zoned berlin, heavy criticism from some of its eastern european partners. and from kiev itself. and while german and french representatives are meeting with the ukrainian and russian counterparts to seek a diplomatic solution, some ukrainians are preparing for the worst on the outskirts of their capital. the civilian volunteers are undergoing military training to defend their country on their own. if need be as bring up to speed now with some of the other stories in the headlines right now. 3 people have been injured in a large explosion in the greek capital, athens. the glass damaged and office walk and smash nearby store friends in a busy part of the inner city. the police suspects an accident rather than foul play. limited flights have resumed at turkey's largest airports in his stumble. the mayor, the major international travel hub, was closed due to heavy snowfall in recent days on snowfall as expected until thursday. officials are urging people to not venture out in private cars unless absolutely necessary. people across australia have taken to the streets to protest australia day. many carrying the australian aboriginal flag, the contentious anniversary march the arrival of the british to australia in 1788. for just to say it explicitly laced the country's national identity to colonialism . and once the date changed, her government wow. jeremy has reported its highest ever 7 day incidence rates of covert 19 cases registering over 900 infections. 410-0000 people. health authorities recorded 164000 new cases in a single 24 hour period. the rise is largely being driven by the arm across variant chance. the olaf schultz has argued in support of vaccine mandate as part of germany strategy to slow the spread of corona virus. lawmakers in parliament will debate compulsory vaccines later today. legislation has already passed requiring vaccines for health care workers starting in march on vaccine staff could be shut out or even fired time to go to the w chief. political editor, mikaela christner, mckayla, german lawmakers discussing a possible blanket mandate today. is that a departure? well, it is a departure in a process that appears to be continuing for at least a couple of weeks. if not months. germany is expected to hit the peak of the omicron wave within days. here in germany, as you mentioned, we are seeing reco advises in numbers. at the same time it was more than a month ago. now that the now new chancellor last saw it said he would stand in for mandatory vaccinations. also when you look at the polling over 60 percent of germans are in favor at the same time, there is no party line that impedes are expected to tow. and that is why today we'll see 3 hours of debate for m p 's to basically shape an opinion which way they want to go, but not which way they want to go today this week or even this month. but potentially at the end of february, either potentially at the end of february help us understand mikaela. how could a vaccine mandate once it's enforced, how once it's approved, rather how would it be enforced? well, it also depends on who you ask. this vaccine mandate could mean people above 18 or above 50, or it could not happen at all. and what's expected is that he would have to pay a fine and potentially a free $3.00 figure thumb. but there's a lot of argument about exactly those details with some piece crying foul that this basically infringes too much on people's rights to health rights as well. and so there's still a lot more debating that m. p. 's want to conduct with the vaccination rate, simply not picking up pace fast enough and while over, so it's is a government managed to get $30000000.00 people vaccinated before the end of the year. the next 30 in until the end of january simply was never going to happen. he would have needed round about a 1000000 vaccinations for day for that. and currently it's just round about 302400000. and in conclusion, and mikaela, how is that widespread support here in germany for this proposal to make vaccines the mandatory but despite the fact that there are a few people protesting today outside parliament against this, and the majority, according to the polling, is in favor, round about 2 thirds of demons. but at the same time, and you are seeing politicians reluctant to move fast and experts of raising more and more question marks with any mandate would actually come in time a tool. we should look after a reporting. thank you. and the d. w. news had the opportunity to speak to a nurse who works in a covert 19 ward herself, but says she won't get vaccinated, whatever the risk will go to day. sabina, suda is working as an alternative practitioner. she offers her patients homeopathy treatments. on other days, she works as a nurse in an intensive care unit. when the pandemic started, she volunteered in a cobit ward. even local newspapers reported on the story. as mclennan and 2013 the visa foreign above it is a small intensive care unit, but over 50 percent of it was occupied by corona virus. patients workers have during my shifts, i really experienced how desperately patients were struggling for air. and with that really got to me, rudy puts in dod vocational loft living in from her own experience. she knows that the disease has cost many lives. however, she doesn't want to get vaccinated against coven 19, even though it will be compulsory for health care workers. and germany from much, and that ammonia instead of being vaccinated with the vaccine whose effect i can't assessable, i'd rather catch the virus. naming, of course, the at that could go badly. but then i would rather excited death on my own tom and i ran kind video man taught a phone call from him lawmaker and dr. paula p. shutter voltage for compulsory vaccinations. she wants to prevent patients from being infected by nursing staff. so this one's a anna, it's madison for all of us working in healthcare. it is our job that we do not put our patients at unreasonable risk on. and the cove at 19 vaccination is extremely safe, which is why it is acceptable to enforce it. to protect our patients. chosen, sabina believes an alternative therapy not in vaccinations, despite all the scientific proof that they work. most health care workers are vaccinated, but sabina could now lose her clinical job. though to the focus of commons, i am on our back. should that really happen and my employer would say 50, but we are a danger to the patients van. then i will accept that, and then i will not work there anymore. and now at our biden data, she would then be missing out on several 100 euros a month. but that won't change her mind. she says she will remain unvaccinated. we should our focus now to the arab world's poorest country yemen. for nearly 7 years. the bloody war has been raging between who is the rebels and supporters of humans. internationally recognized government. a saudi let minnows, military coalition got involved in 2015. the conflict is seen as a regional proxy war. saudi backed government troops recently we gained control of the energy producing sub war province, stealing a blow to the hoodies who control the capital. so now the ongoing war and the fight over natural resources has triggered, devastating hunger and malnutrition for the beleaguered population. about 2 thirds of people depend on foreign aid to survive. and a fair warning. our next report contains images that some viewers may find deeply distressing. high ish flat bread, fresh from a stone oven? it's the specialty of alba, keith bakery, and downtown sana. well, some staff members are busy making. others are chopping wood for the oven. they used to heat with gas that made their job much easier. oh, there's no gas because of the war. we don't even have any for a bakery. you're going to know. i have to buy firewood at the wood market, and if there is none, there, i have to go to the valleys outside of santa wilma, bye hello, hello. hi my. after 7 years of war, conditions in yemen, capital santa, are getting worse by the day. saudi arabia is block and gas imports and the military coalition bomb centers, airport in december. that made getting access to humanitarian and medical aid even harder. hospitals depend on medical supplies from abroad. the devastating impact of the war is most evident in the children's ward. among is 11 years old. she severely malnourished and fighting to stay alive, but the doctors here are overstretched. amo's mother says there's little the staff can do where lead yet the blood. we've been here for 5 days and it's not getting better avita. she's getting medicine and pain relief, which is very expensive for us. i think that's all we can do to stop us about man, if i you, she one and 10 children and yemen is malnourished. some 400000 and all i have in order to beg bread for the children of his country baker belong a shut abbey. as to head out to the valleys is not the only one. looking for wood, the gas shortage and the capital has driven many, empties to the valleys. the fire, what business is booming? apprehensive mitchell has added a lien holder, the prophet between the vehicle owners and the wood cutters, while a load is worth around $100.00, lay the ab had out in belgrade, hungry lot of lava belong a shot. abby has found a good tree to fell. he heads back with a decent load, a boy those who don't own a car to get to the valleys have to make do with the wood market in santa many women come here in particular none of them wants to speak on camera. but home, but she, it shows us her kitchen. although the bakery is too expensive for her, so she bank spread for her family at home with a meager means available to her back. and that keith bakery the now got an a fire, went to get through the week there this little that will, it tells me in my staff a lot of time and energy driving to the valley and getting the wood. and it all has to be paying for the whole body of hulu, but he'll carry on working as long as he can making bread in a country where more people are going hungry than ever before. with little hope of change and sight. i'm sure now by i'm shadow yameen, he is policy advocacy and campaign director for save the children yemen. he comes to us from amman. jordan, a very good day sir. i'm some of the images that we broadcast in our report are deeply, deeply disturbing. how is the conflict affecting yeoman's children? it is as beside the ality that these very disturbing images have now become ideology for children. and yet we were looking at more than 12000000 children who are living every day just because of the of him and then assistance. if he went to ask, this is scott, they cannot meet the basic needs of eating of going to school or, or into hospitals. while at the same time, they are seeing their schools being bombed, their hospitals attacked even the internet was cut out for in the last 2 or 4 days . since friday, the m and and children are living, growing, learning in this environment. what it means to be a chart, and it is a saturday that that has become at the attic which of, in yemen today for more than 7 years now. is hunger being weaponized in this conflict? hunger has become a real, a real issue in yemen when, when the populations come up to even access the basic basic material they need for their own survivor. and it is definitely then their hunger is being used against them. whether, whether this is an intention or on intention, and this is why precisely why we keep calling on part of the conflict to make sure that the population are able to access what they need, but there's a vibrant otherwise, it does tantamount to, to be used as a weapon, if children can't find enough to eat, that is on all of us and today and human, sir, you're part of the 8 organization safe, the children. what obstacles does your organization face when trying to help him anything need? sadly, sadly the obstacles are just too many to comes. we are finding it increasingly difficult to get supplies into the country because of closures of airports and ports and the traffic is fixed and that operates every day. we have a bombing, ongoing conflict, the top that's from acts and people who need help. and today these are getting very, very difficult for us to deliver. that doesn't suffer from working. but at the same time it, it makes us ask the question, how much effort does we spend just to be able to access the video and could have been more helpful for that. and if we had put it towards a rather than just trying to get the aide to complete and we've been calling on part of the conflict to make the lives so many civilians are easier to make sure that to me as an agency are able to deliver the that they need easier than that, but sadly that horses are getting harder. for example, we've had staff for 4 months. it was trying to wait for it to get into the country to deliver the program that they need to deliver. if we cannot move people, we cannot move goods if we can't access the areas that are hard to reach. now classify that where there's active conflict, we don't least the people who needs aid the most. f desperation deepens what can be done to faith. the children of human honestly, a lot can be done if that national community is trying. sadly, the situation now in yemen is so that we keep calling for attention for the security council to look into what's happening in the country for the national governments to come together and demand. but sadly, we still cannot get the level of attention that is required on friday. for example, more than 95 people were killed in a single attack in 2 separate attack, 31 inside the and one data. and until now we have not had some most with international governments about that attack. we have had one that kind of mechanism that looks at into investigating what's happening to children and their national community of work at this topic. it does seem suddenly that now the way that looking at human as the new norman is for him to live, to live under this much more. and this is what we find unacceptable. and the very least we need that metric community to pay attention to them and we need the warning policies to protect civilians during the $130.00. and we need to make sure we're able to feed them in the meantime. it is unconscionable for the world to look at $20000000.00. how many is we need to miss an aide and cut the funding for that? i'm sure the mean policy advocacy and campaign director for safe the children talking to us from amman. jordan, thank you very much. sir bit of a tough transition. i'm looking for a place to put your money a potentially good investment. well, the son of the legendary beetle, john lennon, might have a deal for you. julian lennon as offering our pieces of beatles memorabilia for auction, but not in physical form, rather as non fungible tokens up for grabs the n f t's to the had written notes to the 1968 song, hey jude, among other collectibles. when we were bidding already over $50000.00, they won't come to when a fine amount of the top stories that we are covering right now. british prime minister boars, johnson has pushed back at harsh criticism from parliament over alleged lockdown parties in internal inquiry into the allegations could come as soon as today. mister johnson faces calling to resign over the scandal. you're watching data we use coming up next. andy w, news asia to talk on human rights with the taliban. and also have yielded nothing concrete. we take a look at why and how life under the taliban is turned deadly for. i've got a stones l u v q minority stories and a whole lot more coming up with the rush battery. and just a moment i'm waiting for audio on behalf of d. w. thank you so much project. ah, [000:00:00;00] with ah, a with who a global population is grilling, which means we all need more energy, petroleum, nuclear power, and wind energy, or maybe hydro energy, a reliable and or sustainable. what does the future of energy look like made in germany? in 60 minutes on d, w, and how many portion of lunch i'll throw it out in the world right now, climate change. if any, off the story. this is much less the way from just one week. how much was going to really get we still have time to go. i'm going with his subscriber along with welcome to the dark side where intelligence agencies are pulling the strings. there was a before 911 and an after 911. he says, after $911.00, the clubs came off. where organized crime rules were conglomerates made their own laws? what is true, what's vague? it doesn't matter. the only criteria is what we'll hook people up. we shed light on the opaque world who's behind benefits. and why are they a threat to whistle? oh, peak worlds. this week on d, w a
