a new citizenship law and another in support of it critics say the law undermines the very heart of india's secular constitution for the 1st time it makes religion a criteria for indian citizenship. the new citizens law has also been one of the catalyst for protests in other parts of india places as far apart as go out in the north east kolkata in the east and hundreds in the south just what people are angry about. against citizens of amman minette yet is in the water light their protest from indian community is any immediate in riyadh yet it isn't strong professed no not undoable is banned from gaining international support from the community so that is why it is that frankie delays from the game and the internet so support for citizenship and so we open this the whole of india of course trump is not in the movie might do for

5:35 pm
will remain the highlight of this. president of the. crees around the world so do efforts to develop a vaccine against it but it's a time consuming process a number of the bottle trees around the world are. developing one including the university of hong back in 2003 it was the 1st. visit of the research is there to see firsthand trying to help. so what we're looking at cells which have been grown in culture and on the surface so. it's possible just weeks ago. to science. now understanding these images is key to saving lives professor john nichols and his team at hong kong university
5:36 pm
studying how the new corona virus replicates in human cells their work is already shedding light on its mortality rate why it's proving less deadly than related virus sounds and saz it really started replication in the lungs and less in the proximity of where i was but this far seems to be more likely at this stage of growth in the airways than in the long run which is good to sit back and explain why it's not as dangerous as cells understanding how the virus replicates could ultimately shape the way it's diagnosed and even how it's treated. this isn't the 1st time scientists have been on the forefront of the battle against a deadly virus as specialists in emerging viral infections they found themselves at the center of the 2003 cells epidemic here at this university that long just strides were made and the fight for guard dog was not ron burkle extra proof that role being harnessed to combat this virus today the university was the 1st to
5:37 pm
isolate the virus which cools some of those present monic paris is among those criticized with controlling the outbreak he says while the mortality rate for public 19 may be lower it's spreading move rapidly and could even be transmitted before patients develop symptoms there's no question that this is more than saws more difficult to control because unless you really get video of their body so that breaking that you know mission is challenging that is with saws that was possible the university is wacky one of vaccine bought it still months away. back in 2003 candidate bank scenes were also develops but funding was cut once the virus was brought under control and a vaccine that it produced professor monique says if we could been able to progress further they'd be better prepared today even if we are able to dodge the bullet
5:38 pm
this time and i'm not sure that definitively will be another time and i don't think we can keep dodging these bullets forever but one of these days we're really going to have a major epidemic that really disrupts you know the global economies global lifestyles and things we take for granted so i think it's time that the global community particularly the economic community. took this very seriously there is a race against time as covered $1000.00 continues its spread around the world a professor manic warning the prospect of a global pandemic is now touching day the world health organization has stopped short of declaring the outbreak a pandemic but has asked countries to be prepared for one propose a moment other is head of the infectious diseases section at the university medical center epidurals and she joins me now on the program professor i don't measure to
5:39 pm
have you with us on the program can we expect a vaccine against the corona virus any time soon. unfortunately the answer to that has to be not anytime soon so we're scientists are frantically working towards the vaccine and will have put a bit of work but not in the coming months so that they can be rolled out to the general population what is the earliest time peter been looking at that the vaccine could be made available to the general public. well it's a little bit difficult to speculate but there are such steps that are part of the process of developing a vaccine so some parts go very fast so. the sequences of the virus became available very fast and so in the test you know that they've seen can be generated quite fast sometimes in weeks or months and many are already kind of and that's the but then they have to be tested for safety getting it back seen as a part of a giving to somebody who's healthy so we have to make sure it's safe to get it. has
5:40 pm
been tested in it in small animal and just see if it's safe at about it if it does the thing that we wanted to do it would protect and then it has to be manufactured in effect or to the high standards so those steps can not be that much so the 1st instance will probably go into humans for testing for safety in the spring it permit or maybe there are some in a faster but we were not be able to have them for to help lation before next year and that would even be very fast next year would be fast i mean what does that mean for the current outbreak so essentially what you're saying is it is under a mistake to expect a vaccine for the current outbreak. yes unfortunately that is it in order to expect a shoot out whether that is that science is so advanced like and you may get vaccines faster that it has an impact right now but this is just not the way products like vaccines are even drugs can be made fact that and skinned up in this
5:41 pm
short period of time in that as opposed to next person the professor would be what use is a vaccine if it is developed after the outbreak it was developed for. well it isn't it could be a good example it is and it will have been west africa we didn't have x x since then didn't have any so peace. between about it started to air in full force so we have the current outbreak and it allowed back in there also a public health emergency of an international concern and the development that we had done and many respects were 4 years back is now paying off because we now have a license put out and announced its lights in the current outbreak so there might be outbreaks with as good a virus in the future we don't know yet what the development will be is going to stay it's going to go away will it come back is it going to be season or maybe next year we can protect people from. bias infection which caused the current house in
5:42 pm
texas disease starts to. provide is that a wheel of being ahead of the curve i mean is it a with full of vaccines to be developed before the emergency use or to be upon us. but this is actually you know this is been an initiative that was started by the w.a.c. a lot and also either with his actions in the aftermath of that it will help break so to be proactive to it and if i organisms. that can cause connex and actually sars and most not occur and i was mantles so vaccine development for sas and us has already been underway. and it's also on that this is use excell a new disease so we're developing a vaccine to that point that we can react faster when a new pathogen comes and those initiatives out on the way and me out faster than we've ever been but unfortunately it's not asked enough to make an impact on the current situation say in italy in iran and china in the coming right to leave it
5:43 pm
there for the time being professor martin at all thank you so much for joining us my pleasure that's it for today we leave you with images of the world coping with the corner of us epidemic we'll see you tomorrow. every journey begins with the 1st step and every language but the 1st word published in the book. is in germany to learn german why not come with simple online on your mobile and free to suffer from. learning course nikos fake german made easy. it is for me. is for.
