thank you. now as countries grapple with rising coronavirus cases world leaders and experts are gathering virtually for the annual world health summit germany france the european commission and the world health organization are co-hosting the online event well it's meant to shine a light on various health topics but one will overshadow the rest this year covert $900.00 has wreaked havoc on health systems globally but especially in 4 geographical hotspots take a look at this there are well over 8000000 cases in the united states 9000000 across latin america 4000000 in europe and more than 7000000 in india alone well other challenges such as typical hiv aids and malaria have taken a backseat as global health resources are poured into battling the coronavirus. hiv positive and lost her job during the lock down in south africa. she can no

longer afford her own medication luckily a charity organization has stepped in almost 8000000 people in south africa live with the hiv virus. many are now struggling to get any medicine at all. because of the covert 1000 pandemic global supply chains have collapsed and are only getting back on track very slowly. issues of the supply line people not being able to get air for us we are anticipating and we're very concerned that we're going to. stick infections in south africa we worry particularly around me as we have. in our country corona virus has also worsened worldwide tuberculosis control with 1400000 victims to bring this was the deadliest infectious disease in 21000 topping even hiv

aids here we see some tuberculosis bacteria under the microscope. the w.h.o. fears that up 240-0000 more people could dive to particular losses this year worst affected are india followed by indonesia china the philippines pakistan nigeria. and south africa 2 thirds of all tuberculosis patients worldwide live in these countries here the number of tuberculosis reports fell by up to 30 percent and it means that the people. staying at home and their infection so we're working closely with the biggest. by literal. to provide all the necessary not only technical support but procure. medicines for high countries back in south africa h.i.v.

infected patients who are afraid of going to hospital because they believe they might become infected with corona virus come to this outpatient mini clinic in a guarded juana. this hiv patients immune system must be kept as stable as possible this also helps protect her against tuberculosis and of course covert 19. now one of the most important tools in fighting the corona virus pandemic is testing the tech to the virus but that's expensive and time consuming and many health authorities are struggling with capacity well now researchers in finland are working on a much cheaper but still reliable alternative to look. for a treat preferably cat food this snout can be programmed to find it just about anything more bed bugs cancer now it could change the course of corona virus detection meet chrissy rescued from being euthanized as

a puppy in spain he's returned that favor for years sniffing out deadly disease for the wise nose smell detection association and bill and as coded 19 began to spread to see was asked as an experiment to try to detect it it took him 7 minutes to figure out that this is what they want it to look for so that totally blew our minds you know dog be able to change training sense in 7 minutes. the team quickly learned canines can detect a coded $1000.00 infection even 5 days before symptoms appear with almost 100 percent accuracy helsinki airport is hosting a pilot project through december that will include cross referencing canine results with those for medical devices if you talk to the skin so here it just takes a simple swab from a restore neck here and there it is terrible yes and

a great couple of things and a dog can tell immediately if a person has contract it coronavirus. so i received a negative as all of the voluntary tests are proving popular but no positive signal yet from the finnish government about scaling up the program so since dogs are incredibly more effective much less expensive and far less intrusive than other ways of detecting the virus why aren't public authorities everywhere rushing to use their noses instead of ours we found one who is. is deputy mayor of vaughan the site of the airport i can see that in 2 minutes took me 2 minutes out and get this budget covers the free tests offered to all arriving passengers he allocated 330000 euros total to the 4 month dog study meanwhile he expects it will cost up to $300000000.00 euros per month for the medical option the nasal swab it's

quite expensive operation of course and the docs are like $7500.00 a month. to says the data from this study should help bring in federal funds for expansion of canine testing as well as legal adjustments to upgrade the virus sniffing dogs authority to that of their counterparts working in customs we can i write about idaho which i like that they can. assist and they go to many because it both on a human bjorkman is thinking far beyond. airports we could train dogs with the same samples with the same trainer is to open up. you know the concert halls or or the shares or go to big working places hospitals or elderly homes football matches whatever. your command and bobby line and mourn if dylan doesn't harness the potential of the dog

program itself they'll unleash it elsewhere we can well because of that. she says health authorities from all over the world want to learn what these noses know . terry szell's their reporting for you and we are joined now by terry from brussels again terry man's best friend coming to us humans to our rescue i know you're interested in your report the fact that well why don't we use it for dogs just everywhere can you flesh that out for us a little bit what's the problem what's the hold up you know leyla i still don't have the answer to that question even after visiting helsinki because all of the people working on the project and the deputy mayor you saw are all in favor of it why wouldn't you spend millions less get your results in seconds and you know swab your wrist instead of having your nose plunged everyone there including all of the passengers i spoke with would much rather 6 use the dog test now the veterinary researcher dr helen bjorkman at mit's that once she figured out the dogs could do

this she didn't wait to do lab tests and get peer reviewed and published she tried to figure out how to put the dogs on the job and she admits it would be easier to sell the project to politicians you know if she had a pile of research to hand them but she doesn't yet until this pilot project is over she thinks perhaps doctors just don't want to give up the power of the disease detection to a dog handler is. the only place where this pilot is taking place. if finland got this 4 month study underway now where in which they'll match their results from the dogs with the p.c.r. test the nasal swabs and then they'll have this set of data that they hope will will really get them some federal funding another place that the dogs are being used is the united arab emirates who also found out within a one week test that the dogs had such a high level of accuracy you know between 95 and 100 percent accuracy so the u.a.e. is using them but interestingly germany at the university of hanover they also had

amazing results with a dog test and yet no politicians came to pick up the program so they've got dogs trained willing to do the job who are just sitting there waiting to be used all do you think they might actually have to that their hand is forced i mean might have to use the sniffer dogs and you know as you know we have a 2nd wave washing over us testing capacity is well strained so we have to well i'm talking to you right now from a country where they've decided not to test anybody without an active infection which you know seems seems to be self-defeating under the circumstances so a country like belgium with some of the worst coded rates could certainly use a system to get them out from under this overwhelming processing time but so far even in finland where they have these very promising results where you can see on the ground it's working they have not been picked up for federal funding now sits on a line and the woman you see there with chrissy who adopted him and trained him says

that it would be her dream that governments all over the world would realize the potential of this and she could go clean out shelters and train dogs to be lifesavers themselves and that could be a potential game changer right there thank you. for your excellent reporting thank you and some sports now for you many sports leagues across the world and here in germany have been up and running for some time again now but the german ice hockey league remains on hold meaning players are losing money and patients during the pandemic. a team of ice players of the ice spears in berlin have been training while the german league is on hold with no set return date as as postponed another month and another month another month and you know that's out of my control and everyone else and all the guy all the players in that locker room it's up to the management and the politicians to find a solution for us to play. the outlook is bleak corona virus infections are on the

rise in germany for sports like ice hockey where teams rely on ticket sales to provide up to half their budgets it's becoming a matter of financial survival the players suffer because the cap of the teams is calculated on the revenues and if those revenues don't come in then the players have to pay about. ice be the manager believes the players may have to return 40 percent of their salary this has led some to question whether they have a future in the sport as old. as you know every player that's reached a certain age where they begin thinking of retirement will now be thinking what will i do next every day i come to the rink and i try to be the best hockey player i can and if i can't be the hockey player then i will move on to the next thing in my life and i don't know what that is right now but right now it's all about being a hockey player. the german ice hockey league now plans to start the season in mid december but the current trend makes that look unlikely. tough

times for top athletes well we have a lot more coming up stick with us because up next is it over news asia with melissa chan on little rock in berlin. thank you for spending part of your day with us.

the squad as simple as it sinks. to understand the world better we need to take a closer. experience knowledge tomorrow just. seems. loose.

with him how to be a gun because saddam is one the highest high you know if i had known that the boat would be about small i never would have gone on a trip to see if i would not have put myself and my parents on about danger to move out of the theme of the going to get a flavor would. love one funky bit of that one little digit to give them i had serious problems on a personal level and i was unable to live there but that much i'm going to. want to know their story and for migrants to verify to get reliable information from our grants. we know that this is a scary time for the coronavirus is changing the world changing our lives so please take care of yourself good systems wash your hands if you can stay at how. we're d.w. for here for you we're working tirelessly to keep you informed on over platforms

and we're all in this sphere and together to make it through. everybody stays in the city so stay safe. in streets say. you're watching the news a check coming out today protests that dare to challenge the establishment in thailand activists demanding more democratic government as well as reform of the monarchy but just how many thais support the calls for change. and the anger over the military script on politics sparks an unlikely alliance in pakistan we talked to our correspondent about growing town type government protests there.

i'm melissa chan welcome to news asia thank you for joining us in thailand the government has convened a special session of parliament to deal with ongoing pro-democracy rallies prime minister has labeled the protests illegal members of the opposition say he should step down echoing one of the main demands of the people on the streets. amounts of protester carrying off to revive the thief just cracks filling one of bangkok's busiest streets with a clear message these protesters have 3 key demands the p.m.'s resignation a more democratic constitution and reforms to the monarchy. even a group of trad queens got in on the act we are just the wonder of freedom would you talk about if you did talk to talk about anything here this morning candace you know how to share thailand how to develop thailand to live up to help decide that.

this is the man they want to get rid of prior to china led a military coup in 2014 parliament held a special session to address the concerns me i think they want to see clashes or riots in the country the government has a duty to protect the rights of every chinese citizen all 70000000 people. protesters and the opposition say last year's election was engineers to return private to power. prime minister you are the major obstacle and burden to the country. please resign and everything will end. up with them. but with parliament filled with military support since critics say reform is unlikely. joining us is patrick jory of the

university of queensland in australia patrick we've seen activists out there but do they represent the majority of thai people or is there a silent majority supporting the royalists. look i think the protesters have had 2 goals past the current military backed government led by general you're just . 2000. and 16 goal is to reform the time want to keep now if you go back to after the elections last year the pro-democratic powers richly almost and. even after. the military to verify the forward after elections so i think the critical parties will be if they represent the people that would suggest quite considerable support of the protesters in even conservative people are pretty disappointed with the current lucy back on is not a popular government you cannot situation is very difficult indeed even before the kind of knocks and it and i think that most people who don't

feel that is a is a very effective connoisseur i think the majority of time we have to see him gone out and did the more fake gun but the issue of reform in the demonic he is much media and this issue i think is a one note he is extremely sensitive in toss aside and so i think there is if you really listen for the the 2nd the mantle of the reform of the monarchy and not getting a sense that the middle class are anti-market even if they're not as enthusiastic about this king so what does that put the protesters. look i think you're right at least that. you know it's well known inside and is very straight ahead liz mesti laura look at the b.b.c. a criticism of the tanana he said it's always difficult to measure exactly how much support that the marquis has. it is the 1st time that this issue has been talked to back to ritually in public as part of

a protest movement you know it's really unprecedented i can't emphasize that enough now as he's saying you know middle class and upper class guys came to be what it was even than it is not happy with the character and behavior of the of the cherokee in my for a long while but nevertheless you know a growing number of thais particularly younger generation of the not exclusively younger generation are really sick and tired of the constant interference the monarchy in charge. and now i think they're really willing to text then certainly starting to see not only that these moves supported by university students that school students throughout the country from the top you know some of the top schools in the country dream would want to excel in school so i think in the future this is going to really explore here for the monarchy as these students become. much and so there is a generational shift going on and a do you think that the monarchy can or needs to evolve. look

i think that this yes you're right there is a generational shift i'm not i think this poses a real challenge to the teacher all the other harmonically of cosmology vs nirvana i think my team can say that but there's not a way that the cherokee and he went along on will agree to if you're a fool he's a deeply is a deeply autocratic ophelia you know he spent his life in the military are his father who succeeds in this round and mark is actually clocked you know which in the novel is an odd if he's king much longer on came to the age when the molecules are already very powerful he's used to getting what he wants he is reputation for ruthlessness since a common king he tried to expand the power while he so at the very moment mark you live the reform along democratic lines he's moved to restore all this you know the power of the symbology patrick yuri thank you.

in pakistan prime minister imran khan is facing a challenge from a new protest movement thousands of people took to the streets in quite a to demonstrate against his military backed government that's just the latest rally of many across the country over the past few weeks the protests have brought together strange bedfellows the party of former prime minister nawaz sharif the muslim league and the party of former prime minister benazir bhutto who was assassinated the pakistan people's party has come together as an opposition force. joining us in shouts of jilani who is in karachi shots of protests in pakistan happen is what we're seeing any different from those in the past. well because so the cynical view is that box stand is producing the runoff antigovernment protests many of the politicians who are leading these mass rallies across the country are politicians with very different ideologies and background and hardly have anything in common but the. parties which are hard boris numbers parties liberal leftist

parties and right of center parties in the past. have very closely with the army they have cut deals to come in the government to win elections but no they're saying we've learned the lesson of targeting obviously the prime minister for his alleged ineptitude incompetence in dealing with the economy more than policy but the real target is the country's army leadership in particular the army chief and the head of intelligence in pakistan these parties are accusing of rigging the election in. big behaving that way for iran to become prime minister and they are saying enough is enough. and former prime minister nawaz sharif who is actually in london these days spoke to a crowd of protesters remotely via video link and directly criticised the military let's listen to a bit of what he had to say good bye to us right. general you have to

answer for the biggest electoral fraud in the history of pakistan and for the violation of the public's mandate in the general elections of 2018. general batchelor you have to give an account for the horse trading of members of parliament and for the violation of constitution and law. do we. shutt said criticizing the military is quite the taboo in pakistan what do you make of it but study politicians in the past have been very careful not to win. by naming them. because they don't want to burn bridges but they want to people possibility of a back door deal with these people that doesn't seem to be the case this time and many of the politicians we're hearing from its beauty and senior politicians. are going out on the limb do they really mean and shame the people they believe are

responsible for the state of affairs. what options does a man can have to deal with the situation. the prime stream runs 100 he has 2 options i mean one would be to engage with the opposition to reach out across the aisle to sit down with them to talk through things to find a solution collectively given the. pieces but that's not really been the start style during last 2 years of prime minister or even before that he's always believed in being better than everybody else he doesn't need to engage with anyone and he deeply and fully believe that everybody else except him is deeply corrupt in august on and he is really the only honest and very politician in the country so it looks like we are heading for a bigger confrontation because you the fuses the buds to reach our top of them. to what extent is the economic crisis contributing to the protests and for those who

don't know too much about pakistan and what makes this economic misery worse than others the country has faced in the past. but it's a pakistan's real problem is economic the last few days that i've been in the people i've talked to everybody is feeling from. vegetable and fruit and guessing it's becoming unaffordable dubin lot of job losses . in the last 2 years that the prime minister of iran town has been in the government. he obviously blames pakistan's economic problems on the previous governments of former prime minister nawaz sharif and before him president zardari and according to the government this is all because of the option the government also says that the. all its efforts to put the country back back on track economically. the opposition is also quite of bit off for the misery of ordinary

pakistanis and are just trying to capitalize on that sentiment by holding these mass relieved a lot of people who supported him run far. more for disillusion and opposition and think of them. as the messiah was going to cure all of pakistan's ills has brought nothing to the country in fact he has made it worse and that is why we need to. get rid of this government as soon as possible. that's it for today there's always more on dot com for slash asia and be sure to check us out on facebook and twitter we'll leave you with more pictures from the thai pro-democracy movement where protesters have broken longstanding taboos in calling for reform of the marquis thanks for watching and we'll see you tomorrow.

response to the many health crises which already exist. is still the leading infectious disease it infects around $10000000.00 a year and kills about one and a half 1000000. african countries like fall behind the world in the fight against tb and malaria too which kills half a 1000000 people annually more than 90 percent of them in africa. hiv aids still hasn't been conquered. the pressure is on to fight these global health crises even as we navigate our way through the current pandemic. welcome to you covered $900.00 special here on the news i want to get jones good to have you with us rapidly rising case numbers daily talk about stricter measures including locked down our lives and sorts revolve around the pandemic while the fight against other potential deadly diseases is taking a backseat. looking for the silver lining the

47 year old is hiv positive and lost her job during the lock down in south africa. she can no longer afford her own medication luckily a charity organization has stepped in almost 8000000 people in south africa live with the hiv virus. many are now struggling to get any medicine at all. because of the covert 1000 pandemic global supply chains have collapsed and are only getting back on track very slowly. issues of. people not being able to get air. we are anticipating and we're very concerned that we're going to. stick infections in south africa we worry particularly around me as we have. in our country. corona virus has

also worsened worldwide tuberculosis control with 1400000 victims to bring this was the deadliest infectious disease in 21000 topping even hiv aids here we see some tuberculosis bacteria under the microscope. the w.h.o. fears that up 240-0000 more people could dive to per kilo says this year we're stiff acted are india followed by indonesia china the philippines pakistan nigeria . and south africa 2 thirds of all tuberculosis patients worldwide live in these countries here the number of tuberculosis reports fell by up to 30 percent and it means people. at home and. infection. biggest. by a literal. to provide all the necessary not only technical support but procurement

of essential medicines for all high countries back in south africa hiv infected patients who are afraid of going to hospital because they believe they might become infected with corona virus come to this outpatient mini clinic in a guarded wanna. this hiv patients immune system must be kept as stable as possible this also helps protect her against tuberculosis and of course covert 19. and for more i'm joined now by the founding president of the world's wealth health summit professor ganton good to have you with us so i believe koby to 19 this also impacting the world health summit this year it's fully digital as we've heard how much room is there actually to discuss health issues other than 19 . well we have 2 and

a half days and we have more than 50 sessions and there was a speaker so not everybody would be talking about code 19 but of course it's an important topic but just related to call it 19 it is the fact that or the other diseases. which are still there kind of rested diseases muscle bone mentor out of is there it is and they keep the hospitals and the doctor busy and one of the problems is to combine you know the work you need to do fuck over 19 and in the same time don't neglect the patients who are looking for our care in other circumstances well provided to that to those patients actually dad to go to hospital right now we've seen that certainly in spring that people avoided go into it to see a doctor or go into hospital which of course is very dangerous but of course covert 9000 is on everyone's mind so how big is the risk you'd say that we will lose

ground in the battle against other infectious diseases that has such a colossus hiv you name it because so many resources are currently going into fighting the pandemic. that is true that is a danger and. we are aware of this fact and the opening we have had doctor to address under british or with presidents down my head was a definite i and others who really have overview of what's going on and get all the information and we of course we do whatever we can it's different in different countries there i think in germany if that's a question we're still coping in other questions becomes in other countries becomes much more difficult. and certainly here in europe left right and center we do see neighboring countries of germany already implementing lockdowns again here in germany because you mentioned politicians they have very very cautious there what

do you tell them what are state cautious and commonsense is always very good advice. of course we do need to do everything we can for covert 19 but. we have to keep the society running we have to keep the hospitals running and in addition to what's. in this special situation the private doctors free an enormously important role it's you're actually neglected i mean they're not the ones who are preoccupied with cope with so they have you know all the other diseases. you know in their view and they work and. yes it's difficult but. i don't think that everything else has been neglected because of that right so i mean it's quite a balancing act there that you know to to provide for other diseases while fighting

the pandemic now we have the 1st corona virus vaccine could soon be approved do you think that this is going to solve the problem we're facing right now. no it's not going to solve the problem it will be a very important step but not everybody worth educates in asia and you know when they're when the big scene is available actually dr tina said and president stand my repeated and this is noted i already mentioned on advice of our august. don't. vaccinate everybody in every kind and one time tree but if it's in asia many people in many countries so try to interrupt the chain of infection try to protect the vulnerable people who are young and old and with additional diseases but the cone of ours will be there and take time. to really comfort that we are to need traps it's

a big scene is important but we need to we need to have peace too or treat people who are sick and. who don't get to make see you know where it's not yet available. and right away we don't know when it's when it will be available we are working hard at it and you threw wonder for a concerted effort what is right but. this is not the solution as is it might have gotten there founding president of the world health summit thank you so much for your time lots of success for this us summit thank you rematch. on the question of vaccination is also on your mind time for your question and over to a scientific correspondent williams. how do you decide which parts of the population get vaccinated 1st. there's a lot of worry at both the national and international levels that when

a vaccine does become available it won't be distributed to the people who need it most on an equitable basis but who does need it the most and while lawmakers are already coming up with lists of of who should be at the front of the line and with some variations it's what health authorities around the world will hopefully carry through on and in assuming that politicians are able to grasp the idea that this is a global issue that won't be solved by faxing nationalism which is a big f. but supplies will also be limited initially at least so there needs to be a framework in place to maximize benefits. the vaccine alliance or gavia which is the international organization that plays a vital role in vaccine development and distribution all over the world it's come up with guidelines and at providing the most benefit for the most people worldwide

even with limited resources over $150.00 countries have now signed up to its kovacs initiative it recommends that the 1st people to get a vaccine should be those most exposed to the disease which are the health care and and social care workers on the pandemic front lines thousands of them all over the planet who have died from coded 1000 already next in line would be older people over 60 five's alone with those at high risk if they catch the disease like like people with with underlying health conditions most countries. is will probably also prioritize professions that are deemed to be essential people like caregivers and rest homes or police officers or those who work in and key industries like food production what's already clear is that children will be far down on the list and not only because covert 19 is less deadly in general for them but also because

it'll take more time to produce and test vaccines that are specifically tailored to kids. and there it will be back again tomorrow that's all because of it in $1000.00 special for now thanks for watching.
