well this is really a very very difficult operation these buildings with many of them are just like like a pancake now involves carefully digging through the rubble now turkey does have expertise from this given the fact that this country is prone to earthquakes many of them devastating and they are now drawing on the expertise but it's a very difficult and painful process you have the dangers of an aftershock aftershocks we've already had reports of a powerful aftershock of $5.00 struck nearby is mia which only adds to the dangers and difficulties of the work it's painstaking dangerous work but they are continuing to work through the night and one has said that no expense or an expertise will be spared and rescue teams are coming from across the country to help those efforts people are bracing for aftershocks so where do they find shelter for this evening and a place of safety especially during a pandemic. well indeed this really is one of the

problems now this is a large population millions of people now face a prospect of of been outside of their homes even even though city even though the buildings have been collapsed there is a danger that they may be badly damaged and could possibly fail if another after structure shocks struck the city so they are trying to find refuge on the streets in parks along the coastline anywhere and of course this will add to concerns about the spread of the pandemic of. the moment the main worry of people is just to find safe shelter. all right dorian jones. thank you. and to poland now where abortion rights activists are holding with they say will be their largest march so far capping off a week of mass demonstrations and as you can see in these live images from warsaw police are on hand as protesters gather. over last week's court decision banning

abortions in cases where the fetus has congenital defects while that ruling has left poland with a near total ban on abortion women there can now only legally terminate a pregnancy in cases of rape or incest or if their lives are in danger. and i want to take you now to war so to our correspondent a live courtis who is standing by to give us the latest live in a massive street protests have been and now still what are demonstrators hoping to achieve and if that materialise. well that's a very good question actually they mostly want to see and show their their anger so for 8 days now we see purchases going to the streets using very strong language to basically tell the ruling party law and justice to leave the protesters face has announced

a couple of things he wants to reach earlier this week they were very broad thor for example that was she said that she wants to see human rights being implemented in poland and she wanted to see. courts that are independent and she wanted for example the constitutional court president to leave now the course ruling last week effectively imposes a near total ban on abortion so what happens next now. the prime minister mark matters more of yes he said that he wants to see a man once being implemented to the abortion law as fast as possible and more of us clarity set before earlier this week that we need to specify when abortion is legal and when it's illegal and this was seen as kind of a way to a to a compromise so yeah we waiting because the court's ruling has not been published yet it means that it's not binding yet but we'll see it probably next week or so

when you say amendments is this the prime minister help us understand is this the prime minister wanting to rush through this new ruling or turn it into law is that what you're saying in my understanding this correctly. except it does not have to be turned into law because just the moment it's published the ruling is published despite being legally but at the moment we have amendments to the law it can be specified so in certain cases abortion might again become legal then the right to say there is still some wiggle room the protests that are taking. they sit right now define is going to appeal for people to stay at home because obviously i mean also poland is in the middle of a a covert pandemic but protesters are defining that. right basically today we had as many new infections as never before it was more

than 21000 chance within a day and we see that protesters do wear mosques but obviously it's huge protests and people are close to each other but they say that the government is. those protests and it is up their fault it's the government's fault that they have to go to the streets album so this is their opinion that they see express olivia courtesan reporting from warsaw poland thank you very much. police in france have arrested a 2nd suspect over the knife attack at the basilica in the east that has left 3 people dead it was the 3rd islamist attack in france in 2 months time president. is holding an emergency cabinet meeting in the interior minister is warning that more militant attacks on french soil are likely. a place of worship the

scene of terror connell's laid outside the not true church a nice tribute for the victims killed within its walls. what happened inside is now being pieced together by forensics teams. france's top onto terrorism prosecutor says this time the whole marks of a terrorist attack they detain them on at the scene there are people who or when he was arrested he was carrying a document in the form of a paper from the italian red cross in the name of an aide to new zealand national born in 1999. and initial investigations have shown that this is the perpetrator moreover. the person concerned isn't known in the national thinker print database and is known to the intelligence services. when police stormed the church on thursday it was too late to stop the bloodshed

that church official and a woman had been stabbed and killed a 3rd person died of her injuries police found a copy of the koran and 3 large knife is in the suspect bag the man is now in hospital in critical condition president was at the scene within hours calling for national unity. sums that they came in for if we've been attacked again it's because of our values. our belief in freedom to believe freely and not give in to terror. it doesn't sit there let me say very clearly we will never give in to that but. when he said that i. was the french president as i heard many in the muslim world by refusing to condemn the cartoons of the prophet muhammad. was plaits a long standing debate in france reignited by the murder of

a school teacher at some wild party earlier this month he was beheaded after showing cartoons of muhammad in a class on free speech. on tonight france has 3 more people to mourn. during the president's steinmeier has condemned the attack in the state france and europe must stand up to acts of brutality in an exclusive interview with you mr steinmeier spoke about the need for tolerance the pandemic and us politics were also on the agenda. many issues have been on the plate of german president thank you of late following the recent suspected terror attack in nice france where 3 people were killed steinmeier says his thoughts are with the victims' families but he also wants the united stance from europe after such a brutal attack you know 2 things into duncan of course our thoughts are above all with the relatives who have. guns but i believe what we must do know in europe not

just in france is to stand up to this act of brutality and the islamist motives behind it and in funding and you know our democratic societies above all we should not base the response of the state on a cause determined by hate. and some. arts of acceptance and mutual respect are a part of our society and so standing up to such acts of brutal violence and islam is motives is one thing but the other is to try and maintain the openness of our society that's the other challenge is the under the halls for the whole. the coronavirus pandemic another issue at the top of the president's agenda germany has just approved a new partial lockdown to try to curb a record spike of calls in $1000.00 cases discontent with measures has also been on

the rise with thousands protesting on the streets germany's president acknowledges that the restrictions are especially hard but he says their critics abrasive attitude worries him. built schaffel and criticism is getting harsher and more aggressive especially when it comes from people who are spreading conspiracy theories. but people who consider the restrictions to be correct are demanding stricter measures is currently growing faster than the number of projects . they could take in this respect it's not so much the numbers that worry me brace affinis of the argument. these are also. on the upcoming elections in the us steinmeyer says the decision on who the next president will be lies with the american people what he would like to see is a return to a more fruitful cooperation between the u.s. and germany as. the election in the u.s.

so november will have a global impact. that off towards regardless of who wins the united states will again develop the ability to have a shared idea about the future of their country and. to give us. that is one thing and what is important for us as europeans is also to understand that european project with european integration and cooperation is invested in the transatlantic relationship this is not in the car has recently but i hope that a new understanding for europe will grow again. it may take weeks or even months to see whether steinmeyer swish will be fulfilled for the u.s. with the election still the focal point and the coronavirus pandemic in full swing europe may not be a priority. and that's all for now coming up next our latest covert 90

there's also evidence that some people don't develop immunity. to waiting for the. time in the world view it as a health. america if you can prove he had the coronavirus. my trip to brazil's island paradise of fernandez j. not only was completely stress free. actually i had to do a blood test 1st pretty high then sky these always if i leave these lab test results from my trip to paradise here it says antibodies i.g.g. 5.78. that's more than 5 times what i need even though i have had coded 19 i'm allowed to travel. on the stuff. i quickly packed my things so i can set off the next morning. my cameraman one pablo and i probably became

infected with the coronavirus right at the start of the pandemic when we were filming we were in mn now swear the health care system had collapsed this is the only flight this week that takes off for the island. sitting next to me is catalina some pio a business woman she's been there 50 times. my life is starting again. i not know jane or own yet is the most beautiful place in the world. she may be right. like everyone else on this flight carolina has had the coronavirus. we must now stand in line and pay an environmental feat strict rules for entering paradise.

the island has been virtually cut off from the outside world since march due to the pandemic according to our guide. we're now the 1st tourists and want to 30 say is an absolutely coronavirus free part of the earth one big plus the beautiful beaches are empty. before the island was to. or a nature preserve it was a notorious prison camp and before that a base for warships built on ancient volcanic rock. when the pandemic started in march and their own year was cut off from the rest of brazil a curfew was also imposed. only the fisherman were allowed to go out. in order that no one starved. islanders felt a new sense of solidarity. who

. gave us diesel fuel we used to go out and fish in the end we gave away our entire catch to the islanders for free. now known years crisis management has been exemplary thanks in part to random checks the island has not had a single case of coronavirus. even if more tourists come we probably won't have a corona virus outbreak we've taken a lot of preventative measures. such as allowing in visitors who have already had coven 19 they have this picture west coast almost all to themselves. a privilege that at least somewhat compensates for what they've been through. i survived to the coronavirus it wasn't easy now it's time to make up for it we have the island almost all to ourselves i'll probably never again experience

a paradise like this. at moments like these the pandemic feels far away. but just how immune are you if you've had the coronavirus ditto bhattacharya joins us now from the university of arizona college of medicine he's an associate professor in immuno biology what are your results on immunity shot. our results. for at least people with mild infections the course of the immune response seems pretty much as we would expect for most types of acute viral infections where after you clear it just certain period of immunity our study followed out in the specially protected and bodies out in the course of about 7 months and our studies show as many others that those antibodies continue to be pretty used for as long as we've been able to look is there any indication that it could be more than months it could be years. yeah i mean when i say 7 months i

don't mean up to 7 months i mean at least 7 months you know the pandemic hit our state fairly late and so we just don't have any participants who are infected any earlier than 7 months but if you look just by parallels to the 1st sars coronavirus which is the most similar virus we've seen you know those antibodies people who saw 1st sars kind of are actually continuing to be produced now 17 years after the fact i don't know if this will be quite that long but you know i think a year or 2 seems like a reasonable minimum estimate that sounds quite optimistic though because of the coronaviruses have shown that immunity can drop off after you yeah i mean i guess the question is what's the best prior what's the best analogy and so you know genetically and in terms of the nucleotide sequence of the virus it's really most similar to the 1st sars kind of are so i think maybe like the best way to hedge your bets to say it's probably going to be something in between you

know a year or so which is what the common coronaviruses and use and the 17 years will be if you mix them from the 1st sars prone of ours you know ultimately down the crystal ball and so there's really no way to take a shortcut here there's no way to know until we just start to follow it out. the people who get the virus badly though have have shown that they have more antibodies and they have them for longer what's that tell us. well yeah i mean there's a lot of things that go wrong people who end up with severe disease in the early stages an immune response there's a huge amount of inflammation and uncoordinated signals the kinds of things that we don't normally see so there's something strange going on presumably the levels of virus certifier on the amount of the antibodies for use are also higher and so you know it's going to come take a little bit longer for those antibodies to come down in people who have very mild disease and if you are in a box you know whether or not the people with severe disease will actually be

immune for longer is that something i think we still need to see because again a lot of things don't really work right in the severe phase and so it could affect some of the long term antibody production we just don't know what's this all mean for a vaccine because a vaccine provokes an antibody response of course yeah i mean it was actually very optimistic about the africa see the potential of the vaccines that i've seen so far so you know one of the things that we have noticed is that you know that you get this nice stereotypical pattern of antibodies and they settle in are pretty low level and based on the epidemiologist you've seen so far i mean it seems to be protective i'm sure you want to get to re infections in a little bit but it seems like pretty low levels of the other bodies are still protective the vaccine that you seen so far i mean all the ones that an easter being tested here in the u.s. all exceed the normal immune response to natural infection and so if the natural infection can induce immunity i'm pretty optimistic that these vaccines will as

well many things we still need to find out how long will the vaccine immunity last for and what are the safety effects all those things but all of the early indications i've seen so far make me very optimistic about the university of arizona thank you very much thank you and bring you up to date here of the latest on a for more than 200 countries and territories on covert infections. the numbers show new cases doubling in 39 nations and increasing in another 94 countries they've stayed at the same level in 8 countries 55 nations have seen their new profit of covert 19 cases decline another 9 are down by at least half and 6 countries have reported no new cases for 4 weeks in a row here's the bar graph showing the statistics of past weeks the fight against the corona virus will be over when that whole chart turns of blue so it's going to take some time. now it's up out of the show where you get to us the questions to

our science correspondent eric why. does improving ventilation make confined spaces like restaurants safer to operate because we now believe that aerosols play a role in covert 19 transmission at least in enclosed spaces adequate ventilation would appear to be a key aspect of lowering risks in public spaces like restaurants and bars but also schools but what's adequate exactly well that's pretty hard to nail down but because we tend to spend longer periods of time in those spaces than we do for example somewhere like a corner shop the general consensus among buy raw legis and airflow experts can be boiled down to the more outside air you can polish the safer you can make those

environments so instead of asking whether improving ventilation can make restaurants and bars safer it's more accurate to talk about what's called the air exchange rate which describes the number of times that the air is replaced in a room over the course of an hour i read a quote recently from one of the experts on air flow who said by. easing the german government on keeping schools open that really opened my eyes about the complexity of this issue he said that it doesn't matter how effective air exchange strategies are if someone who is infectious is in a room the era can only really be cleaned if they leave it in other words transmission risks in spaces like bars and restaurants can only potentially be reduced by air replacement systems and even then they have to be pretty high performance to make much of a difference but those risks rise again the moment more customers come and spend

time in those spaces because the chances rise that one of them might be infected and shedding virus. that will covert 19 special for information i do a web site called click on one of ours by. the .
