message for her fans. to seek off your family and for the people who are already suffering through all the health issues please for them that a mosque take precautions. welcome to news asia glad you could join us billboard chart topping sensation b.t.s. will now be able to defer mandatory military service in south korea thanks to a new law passed by the country's parliament all able bodied south korean men between the ages of $18.28 must serve in the military but the im endowment in the military service act will allow k. pop stars recommended by the government to defer that to 30 years of age

7. they may be a boy group but for their country's military not to mention many compatriots they are able bodied men. now with the new deferment for k. pop stars or the singing sensation's b.t.s. being unfairly advantaged were. all south korea's physically fit young men must serve in uniform a legacy of the korean war which started 70 years ago and technically south and north korea have yet to make peace. and the army life was quickly closing in on the group's oldest member known as gen just 2 days before he turns 28 the laws upper limit for beginning service parliament cleared the way for a 2 year deferment. other heartthrob didn't have that luxury in 20131

of the country's biggest k. pop stars known as rein was discharged from the army after serving his time. in sports stars enjoy their own special rules son him in a footballer currently playing for tottenham hotspur was exempted from service because he'd won a medal at the asian games but he still had to complete basic training which he did last year when the coded pandemic conveniently interrupted the premier league season. so whatever they decide to do b.t.s. have 2 more years to set more industry records and break more hearts until their national service is supposed to begin and the music's over. john list frank smith joins me now from solo with mall frank how is military service viewed in south korea well it kind of has

a mixed perspective of people here and so on the one hand it's viewed as kind of a rite of passage for young men between 18 and 20 to serve their proxima 2 years in military service here but at this same time it's used by many as kind of an interruption in young people's lives in careers a previous president of south korea no young even call military service a waste of time all right just to give you an idea you know what that interruption really means for for the younger generation of men here in south korea with this in the background exemptions were already available for exceptional sportspersons and musicians but in the case of b.t.s. here the government has gone in for a defilement what is the message that the government is giving out. well what is

same with the passage of this law is that if you. are a popular musicians and entertainers now if you use this as a as a contribution to the country's so-called quote unquote national pristine beach if we look at b.t.s. right now they have 2 songs on the billboard top 10 number one is in use on the just entered billboard charts this week called life goes on in previous li there are some dynamite occupied top position billboard for a number of weeks earlier this year b.t.s. is also remember the number one act worldwide and here in social media are usually the most popular band in the world in addition quantity didley b.t.s. is generated $1400000000.00 in income for the country so its contribution to the country is really

a unique thing that the government wanted to recognize here with this so-called e.t.s. law which will also 'd be applied to other popular entertainers and franco where was the public on this debate. well fans of course were vocal in their relief they had pointed out that previously b.t.s. it said that they were willing to do military service but i also talked to some young people here specifically young men that had already concluded their military service and they were a little bit resentful they suggested you know everybody should really have to do this every able bodied young man should young men should really have to do this and were a bit resentful that some were getting off and there's also this concern especially a political divide in south korea between those and you north korea as a serious threat and they say if you let you know young people off military service

we're not going to conscript enough people into our military which is just 600000 almost half as much as north korea has 1.11.2 men military forces frank smyth and sorrow thank you so much for that. animated film about a young woman who fights going on about us misinformation is out today priya as mosque sees indian comic book superhero priya confront fake news around the pandemic and highlight steps people can take to reduce the risk of infection in india particularly unbent if i claimed that on the benefits of drinking water remedies and spices as a means to ward off the corona virus have spread rapidly on social media the animated film in addition to a comic book challenges these claims and does mall here's

your personal issue now at the beginning of the pandemic the prevailing advice that's just wash your hands and keep your distance but you are among those early on who recognise that this may not be enough to prevent infection what's the latest research telling us. everybody's asking about their latest research about is this is not about what was just discovered it is something which we knew all i mean sundays for a long time and seems science one we've been warning that something needs to be done in terms of proper or accommodations and proper record nutrition of the risk of transmission and it's not just called not just the pandemic but all respect or ear infections transmitted this week somehow no one was interested to listen to you during australian or internationally so when this pandemic came we really put all

our what to bring this mode of transmission into ford focus. we're certainly listening now let's talk specifically about a distance we've been told to stay one and a half to 2 meters away from each other but these small airborne particles they can travel much farther than that. well of course if you are close to somebody somebody who is infectious and somebody who is a source of this mall particles smaller bigger part that goes of course in the proximity to the person you are likely to incur a lot and particles of all sizes smaller because. bigger particles will then try to drop on the ground big enough but the smaller one will stay india will linger india like see about smells cigarette smoke smoke of. some snow. particles from cigarette smoke are smaller than the particles we still barrels but nevertheless develop spartacus can stay in the pore long time and trouble long

distances so it's not enough to be a way that we don't have from somebody infected it can be. neat-o. tens of meters or even hundreds of meters away from the that that person were developed latent particles linger in the air and can be inhaled and smells are really a perfect way to explain how this works now people who oppose strict coronavirus measures argue that everything in life involves taking a risk how do you personally weigh up the odds of being infected versus say the need to maintain social contact and a relationship with the outside world. this is true that every of us think involves 36 but the reste in getting infected being in a place where people aren't poked at a very high and i often say for example this kind of risks were related top car travel would you jump into the car if you all had their risk of being in it being

having an accident off if you burst sent you would sink about this twice this can become per top day or east sweets we are taking or not or not taking so way no risk is. a risk which would you don't quite understand can't quite quantify your really have to take all possible precautions to avoid taking this risk and i certainly wouldn't jump into that car professor maraca from the university of technology in prison thank you so much for your expertise thank you for having me on the program. time now to answer one of your questions about the car on a virus over to our science correspondent derrick williams. what's the expected protection period for a new m r n a vaccine how long does it need to be for herd immunity we don't yet know how long

these new vaccines will protect people who receive them because not enough time has passed since large numbers of people have received them trials have only been going on since the end of july we know that that when you catch other coronaviruses it provokes an immune response that lasts for anything from for months to a year or 2 both but we've never developed vaccines for those coronavirus so we don't really have anything to compare these new vaccines to or or a yardstick for guessing how long they might provide protection add to that the fact that if they do receive emergency use authorizations then it will be the 1st time that m.r.i. in a vaccines have ever seen widespread use and it all becomes even more of a guessing game but almost all the experts i read do say they don't expect them to provide lifetime protection the question of how long the period of protection needs

to be to provide herd immunity is trickier because it could easily turn into a moving target the most estimates you read say we should have the situation under control when 60 to 70 percent of the population acquires immunity through through vaccination or sickness if one of more vaccines provoke long lasting immunity to cope at 19 say say 10 years and that would be fantastic basically because it would give us the time we need to vaccinate large chunks of the population and trust that they wouldn't be in danger again for a. for a good long while but if that scene provoked immunity as much shorter say just 6 months or a year it makes the logistics of large scale vaccination programs a lot harder because in addition to trying to get everyone their 1st shot we'd have

to also start giving people who got them that booster shots and in pretty short order so a lot will hinge on the question of of how long the various vaccine candidates protect people. and not follow from us for the latest on the pandemic go to google news dot com slash coded 19 until next time for mean that if they buy and take and.
