and wearing face masks on busy streets it's for me said it was for me it's obvious with the high numbers we have i myself had coronavirus and i know what i'm talking about we all have to protect each other now. i must mask does not stop air assaults you can talk about wearing them indoors but outside it's total rubbish roughened both on the streets and among politicians there is a growing debate about germany's course of action as the country grapples with a serious 2nd wave of the coronavirus pandemic. let's bring in our political correspondent. emma the chancellor we heard there in that report urging people to stay home over the weekend what are you hearing will the government have to take more restrictive measures or are the restrictions currently in place enough. well we just found today according to germany's biggest tabloid bit of that angle america was planning a lockdown lie to tackle virus pandemic was new measures being implemented when we

would be talking about german shops that could remain open but with sets and rest fictions and such plan and gemini following each of these example would are so close it's because it's restaurants so really even more restrictions imposed on nightlife it's quite telling that i go america will meet again with a 16 state premiers this wednesday as that wasn't planned it really shows how the situation has worsened and quite quicker than everybody expected the minister says the state premiers so we had agreed on measures such as our restrictions in the hospitality business for example rest reactions on the amount of people able to gather but we've also seen more lockdowns localised lockdowns in bavaria for example 2 scenes last week and something that i'm going to america wanted to avoid at all costs was a generalized lockdown but it seems that we heading that way right and from what i

understand from your reporting these new restrictions seem to be designed to limit social interactions between people is that where we've seen the rise in infections in germany. well i'm going to america last time and again to people to limit their interactions to the media contacts to avoid unnecessary travel and necessary family gatherings and in fact germany had had a pretty good handle of the pandemic until now but now the fact is that cases have the most doubled within the week and the wary here in germany is that he won't be possible anymore to trace the chain of infections and to contain it to where we ease that loss of control of those infections and of course. where we've got photos would be how hospitals we cope with cope with patients that will come in we're not there yet been the main where we would be that this situation could get out of hand that is of course what everybody's worried about emma how will people in germany where young have to more reactions being introduced. well i think there's

a growing sense of 50 government sentencing here there's also people who present only a fringe of german population who don't support the restrictions yesterday in berlin karnow skeptic's gathers there were gathered there were around 2000 they were protesting industries but they also held firebomb so the hub a car institute which teaches the institute in charge of the handing of the pandemic so they are a minority and the majority of the population these abiding by the rules with social they stand seeing wearing masks but there's a notable fatigue among the population being felt and everybody braces for a long and an uncertain winter here in russia reporting thank you. next the latest attempt to end the fighting between armenia and azerbaijan appears to have failed the 2 sides have accused each other of violating a new cease fire minutes after it came into effect or the truce was a 3rd attempt to end the conflict over the disputed nagorno-karabakh region

friends a memorial for a fallen as a by johnny soldier everyone here is convinced that their army is fighting for a just cause the school's vice principal doesn't believe that their votes have been attacks on armenian civilians. and i looked at us and then. i don't know much about what's happening on the armenian side i only know what i see on t.v. here but i can say that the armenians are losing and must retreat so they don't have any other options if we are not to. dying to take armenian territory we are fighting for what belongs to us tended. to. be has been at the school for a few weeks now with his wife and 3 granddaughters they are from tat are right on the border with nagorno-karabakh lately the clashes there have intensified.

immediate consequences if the monarch is illegally conducting politics from abroad . groups outside the german embassy in the thai capital this morning the diplomatic compound know the latest flashpoint in the country's political unrest that's because the king of thailand appears to prefer bavaria to bangkok his opponents one germany to investigate and his supporters object. they try to involve this important longtime ally in thailand's internal affairs why why can't we solve this problem among ourselves. have a long corn is back in the country but he lives most of his time in southern germany reportedly booking out this entire hotel for long stretches it's caused something of a diplomatic headache for his hosts. version of this obviously i'm also watching the

thai kings behavior in germany we've not just been monitoring this in recent weeks we are monitoring this long term if there are things that we consider to be illegal there will be immediate consequences and. consequence. that comes after months of student led protests demonstrators want to reform the monarchy the constitution for the prime minister to go. but he is digging his heels in. tens of millions of people did not want to see the change through chaos everyone has their own beliefs and believe all their lives therefore we must creatively find a balance between the needs of the individual and others in society. as he spoke thousands of pro-democracy protesters were again gathering on the streets for another day of activism this time they were heading for you guessed it the german

embassy. in the going to sleep of their braman barely escaped relegation last season but they've started strongly this time around and they were hoping to prove their credentials for a european place against visitors hoffenheim who've won all the last 6 games at braman. braman looked determined to make the most of their who deni like escape from relegation last season and they made a confident start here. they were only 5 minutes on the clock when maximillian eglash dined converted across from théodore gate brazil lassie to make it one nil. but hoffenheim have proved their mettle at the top of the league year after year now and they struck back through generous guy guy on 22 minutes. neither side could conjure

a winner but the draw means braman extend their unbeaten run to 4 league games a form that has to satisfy coach flow he and co felt after last season's near catastrophe. all right coming up next at the mike a junior with news africa stick with us i'll be back at the top of the hour. combating the pandemic. where does research stand. what are scientists learning. background information and news. hour carona day. 19 special next on d w. w's crime fighters are back africa's most successful radio drama series continues this season the stories focus on hate speech prevention and

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 robbie high in the world in the fight against tb and malaria 2 which kills half a 1000000 people annually more than 90 percent of them in africa. and 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 to to have you with us rapidly rising case number 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 19 pandemic global supply chains have collapsed and are only getting back on track very slowly. issues of. people not being able to get air or yes we are anticipating and we're very concerned that. being sick mystic 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 h.i.v. 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 since 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 the people. at home and. infection. biggest. by a literal. to provide all the necessary not only technical support but procurement

of essential medicines for 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 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. and for more i'm joined now by the founding president of the world world health summit professor ganton good to have you with us so i believe koby to 19 is 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 2 and

a half days and we have more than 50 sessions and there was speeches so not everybody would be talking about code 19 but of course that's an important topic but just related to call it 19 it is the fact that all the other diseases. which are still there kind of rest are disease is massive bone mentor out of it's there it is and they keep the hospitals and the doctor busy and one of the top tips is to combine you know the work you need to do fuck over 19 and it is 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 dare to go to a 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 19 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 just such a colossus hiv you name it because so many resources are currently going into fighting the pandemic. there's a school that is a danger and. we are aware of this fact and at the opening we have had dr peter ross under british or we have presidents down my dad was a 100 and others who really have overview of what's going on and get all the information and of course we do whatever we can it's different in different countries. 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 the 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 common sense 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 in addition to what you know and the special situation the private doctors free an enormously important role or it's your usually neglected i mean they're not the ones who are preoccupied with coby and so they have you know all the other diseases. you know and you and they 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 that seems 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 attributed a very important step but not everybody want to get resignation and you know when the when the big scene is available actually dr tiller said and president stand by repeated and this is. i would imagine on advice of foreigners just. don't. vaccinate everybody in every country and in one country but thanks in a to many people in many countries so try to interrupt the chain of infection try to protect the vulnerable people young and old and with additional diseases. the corner barrus will be there and it will take time. to really

come forward to we are to need trucks it's the vaccine is important but we need to we need to have peace to 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 but it's when it would be available we are working hard at it and you through wonderful concerted effort what is right but we this is not the solution is it right step gunton their founding president of the world health summit thank you so much for your time lots of success for this us summit thank you very much on the question of vaccination is also on your mind time for your question and over to our scientific correspondent ted williams. how do you decide which parts of the population get vaccinated 1st. there is a lot of worry at both the national and international levels that when

a vaccine does become available i'm it won't be distributed to the people who need it most on an equitable basis but who does need it the most while lawmakers are already coming up with lists of of who should be at the front of the line and with some variations that's what health authorities around the world will hopefully carry through and mean assuming that politicians are able to grasp the idea that this is a global issue that won't be solved by vaccine 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 god the 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 have died from covert 19 already next in line would be older people over 60 five's along with those at high risk if they catch the disease like like people with with underlying health conditions most countries will probably also prioritize professions that are deemed to be essential people like caregivers and rest homes or police officers or those who work and in key industries like food production what's already clear is that children will be far down on the list and

know not only because it 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 for code 19 special for now thanks for watching. food. because.

i'm not laughing at the germans well i guess sometimes i am but mostly i'm nothing with you but germany thinks deep into the german culture of. you getting ridiculous drama they owe to you because it's all that who they know i'm rachel join me for me to get a bungee jump course. how does a virus spread. why do we panic and when will all this and try to just 3 of the topics covered in the weekly radio show is called spectrum if you would like
