actually they case or the way how they were able to agree on the 1.8 trillion euros e.u. budget and recovery fund in midst july however there is growing criticism this time because the meeting is coming just 2 weeks after the last summit and actually we don't expect any breaking news of this time so there is growing criticism because of course people are asking themselves why are their leaders meeting while we are as ordinary people are seeing more and more restrictions. one of the items on their agenda. which seems to just go on and on and it's yet another roadblock. yes their leaders are still talking about the prospects of negotiations with the u.k. however there were able to agree on a statement and this statement reading that they now want to see the

u.k. making necessary moves to make an agreement possible that they they acknowledge in this statement that not enough progress has been made in the talks but they also are saying that the chief negotiator showed by a new path that he has they are supports to continue their talks so there are not thinking about going away from their negotiations right now alexandra for not going to brussels thank you. well germany has registered a massive increase in corona virus cases with more than 6 and a half 1000 new infections over a 24 hour period so let's take a look at how quickly new infections have surged over the past 7 days we'll start at last wednesday that's the 8th of october where we see new infections at 2828 those numbers going up and then there's a dip here this dip this is the weekend where a number of local health departments don't actually report the figures when they

come back on monday you see the figures going back to 6638 newly registered covered 19 infections with numbers more than doubling in one week that means numbers are growing exponentially the figures were released just hours after german chancellor angela merkel met with the leaders of the country's 16 federal states to agree new pandemic control measures one seen as a role model for europe germany now feels the pandemic is getting out of hand that a country has fed every day to the west so far with casey's rapidly rising i'm going to america has issued a stern warning. as michel martin does if you ask what worries me it is the exponential rise and we're going to stop it otherwise it will not end well. we can see that all over the place and i don't need to look at germany here i only need to look in the neighboring countries that's the point regional leaders have

agreed to shut hospitality venue some 11 pm in area to day become virus hotspots or regulation already adopted by some cities like barely 9 frankfurt contact restrictions will also be enforced in hotspots social gatherings will be limited to 10 people from a maximum of 2 households in a bid to curb the number of infections at the political level one bone of contention remains leaders can't agree on domestic travel rules that mean travelers from hotspots cannot stay in hotels without a recent negative test i'm putting come a day should ban is to contest a demand to stay disease someone to keep it up at any cost and to majority of states are skeptical because it's related inefficient to prevent infections but in the end it causes a lot of agitation anger and disruption but some under street say it's not more rules that are needed. there's going to be here some good existing rules are not

being followed and they're not being enforced all too often you see people beat out of moscow on fences and subways sure enough i believe the rules should be better executive it's a fine line when you see all the weddings are kind of course understand but on the other hand it's also a risk for others as well as the abilities i think we all need to be reasonable the numbers right now in the fund and. if the number of infections keep rising i'm going to america has warned that even tougher steps may be needed. just take a look at some more coronavirus developments the whole of the netherlands and mainland france will be classified by germany as coronavirus risk regions from saturday as according to the country's centers for disease control it's a later corded more than $8800.00 new cases over 24 hours that's a high state of total since the start of the country's outbreak an up dramatically on wednesdays number i mean while the head of the world health organizations europe office urged governments to be uncompromising in controlling the virus or warning

'd it's

important to know treatment is most effective medicines helpful early on when the infection is mild or there are no breathing problems could be effective or harmful to a patient. continue to scour their portfolios for possible solutions the world has never faced a pandemic of these proportions in a moment i'll talk to an expert from the european medicines agency 1st a look at some of the drugs that are being repurposed. anti-viral medicines were originally developed for hiv hepatitis c. influenza and 2 other coronaviruses sars and mares they're designed to stop the disease from reproducing or entering long cells anti-inflammatories are used to treat rheumatoid arthritis or inflammatory diseases they're supposed to limit the body's defenses and severe long infestations to avoid further information which would cause more damage than the disease medicines for long complications are

designed to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis they help supply the patient's longs with sufficient oxygen and help the long repair themselves cardiovascular medicines were developed to treat blood clots or heart disease they're now being used to provide complications from covert 19. head of biological health threats and strategy at the european medicines agency is a pharmacologist who spent several years in antibacterials and antifungals in preclinical and clinical development so where are we at in treating corona with medication. yeah we're seeing some important advancement seen particular i think they use all this i'm at the saw not for treatment of patients we copy 19 and with important results from the recovery study showing the benefits to the mortality using this is a medicine he's an important enfants meant and will be used and also the antivirus

does appear one of the 1st one to be tested in clinical trials for the treatment of corby 19 it showed that the ability of review seems the time to recall vary so the time to start from the off the dull patient means all the lies that come in 19 and therefore d's are so far the more significant the past meant that we are reaching tons of treatment the decencies i went through the various treatments before what are the most effective of these treatments. yet there's a matches on indeed the movement giving us the most impressive results so far and we really hope to see other interventions that will be as effective as this one and really the combination of different more dolly ts of treatment will be but important to be investigating the future we are causing a hope in the new 1 o'clock on 2 bodies with a neutralizing activity story acting as onto biros and probably that combination

all bunty bar as we say no more 2 liters might might be the most interesting were to follow in the future. it took a long time to find the right mix to treat hiv we going to have to wait that long suppose it. we ought not to of course t.r. everything is much more compressed in time and fortunately there are still a lot of patients out with severe called the 19 and be hospitalized and we have seen progress when you're up in new wave all of the cases including similar cases so we're really all that clinical trials that are running at the moment and there are several efforts we'll be able to deliver you know much faster way what we need to know about what could be the best intervention c.r. now to combine the different agents of course is very important and one of the lessons learned that we need a lot from the my skin the court trial and the small mentee clinical research that we've seen in the beginning part all seem europe is not really elsewhere because we

need a lot of studies to tell us exactly what is 14 and which patients but instead of 3 parts a single these different drugs developed to treat different diseases what what about new therapies. yet in terms of one to virus in the new way both products are brand new and they cover all the small molecules seem not to read that severe or indeed these are on 2 bodies that have the potential to naturalize the virus and being battery effective and indeed we seeing this with other emerging viruses like it how they can be a really hot pulling times already using the burden of disease so we are really hoping that all these new maxine's will provide a really new opportunities and really be helpful in fact fully in treating patients as you said the new drugs could reduce the burden the need to hospitalizations i guess what we do need is a drug that works at all stages that. absolutely in fact so we're really supporting

the effort by many developers to study different drugs that different stages of the culture in 1000 d.c.'s starting really from their profile oxys impulse to support a profile oxys going to treatment of mine p.c.'s in the out patient and then of course the treatment of severe copy 19 patients that i was brutalized and maybe we will need a combination of different drugs depending on the difference and point of all the seasons of all of your encouraging new therapies but why isn't more being spent on that potential vaccines have received about 6 times more funding than the therapies and we don't even know if we'll get a vaccine. i guess for what i can say is that he's believed that the vaccine could ever be the end of the day yet bigger parts are on the course of the fund then it can also in trying to contain the spread of the virus and this is what we have you learned for a number all of our old diseases over years and decades but of course you're absolutely right the probably we need not to forget that also tara pure dicks are

is truly important and that effort should be put also in that ira to make sure that we have a group or all your or treatment options that cover different pharmacological activities in order to make to make sure that we can treat this one as possible in a non christian way patients with different stages of the disease from the use top strategist michael commentary thank you very much for your time thank you building a hi ms germany's 2nd biggest pharmaceuticals company with close to 6 and a half 1000 staff and busy working on various drugs including a special covert 19 therapy. these antibodies may be invisible to the human eye but they could play a vital role in neutralizing the corona virus scientists in the laboratories and bieber half say they are developing new treatments as fast as they can. and we are generating antibodies because they will bind with the virus and prevent it from

infecting other cells and the human body in fact. so these antibodies are designed to catch the virus after it has entered the body yet before it can do any damage. this side of an upper sway be a is brilliant in the homes largest research and development center the head of the german division says the prospects for b. are good. we see in c.s. talk tough guy when we are in the middle of the process of building up our team and be behind our work force and we expect a slight increase in personnel over the next few years and always does i mean lie and i'm sticking in next to. another approach to fighting the coronavirus is the in-house molecular library the so-called treasure troves these shelves contain over a 1000000 different chemical substances the accumulated knowledge of the pharmaceutical giant researchers are investigating whether these substances are

suitable for treating some of the effects of covert 19 the scientists said person or have joined 36 other pharmaceutical companies and research institutes around the world to form a consortium to fight the corona virus. if we can work together and we can pull the best information from each contributor and that is precisely the goal of the consortium to bring together all the experts and move forward quickly on this occasion but it could take years before an anti coronavirus drug is approved the scientists at berlinger in the heim say it's too early to speculate about a possible release date. time to look at the viewer questions that have been coming in on how you tube channel is their aquariums. it's covered 19 now endemic. when i read this question i thought ok it's time to talk about the elephant in the room the fact that despite all of our fondest hopes

this virus is not going to fizzle out and go away 1st let's define endemic the way we're using the word here is in its epidemiological sense which describes when an infection is more or less constantly present in the background within a specific population and geographic region but it also implies that it. in a kind of steady state which covert 900 is not at the moment it's still spreading fast and furiously in many places all over the planet one of 2 things could happen next when enough people build up immunity to it through infection or vaccination covert 19 could become an endemic disease or it could just apparently burn itself out and disappear like sars dead but not that's not going to happen in other words at this point if we could say that the disease was endemic we'd actually be farther

along the road towards returning to life as usual that we are it would mean covert $9000.00 was no longer out of control but was a disease we had tools to cope with we'll develop those tools eventually just like we did with aids and influenza in fact probably a lot faster but but wiping the virus out entirely at this point would take a massive planet wide strategy like the one that wiped out smallpox and is nearly banished polio but projects like that take high levels of cooperation between nations and they take time so koven $1000.00 is going to be with us for the forseeable future but to some extent at least for how long will depend on us. humans on the only ones going through difficult times during the pandemic some zoos a closed door have very few visitors and often lack the funds to feed their animals but merchants from perot's largest wholesale food market have joined forces and
