the incredible story of bob you want him to. start to do some return on g.w. . this is deja vu news live from berlin and historic moment as britain launches its nationwide coronavirus vaccine program this 90 year old grandmother got the 1st dose of the vaccine speedy development has some people worried why has the u.k. deemed it safe to rollout also coming up germany's stubbornly high case count means

tighter restrictions could go would have forced before the christmas holidays and a hard locked out could follow. plus indian farmers call a nationwide strike as their standoff with the government intensifies farmers fear new market reforms will make them vulnerable to corporations that slashed prices. i'm sumi so much going to it's good to have you with us the united kingdom has started the big task of inoculating its general population with a fully tested and approved coated 1000 vaccine margaret keenan a 90 year old grandmother got the 1st shot at a hospital in coventry to launch the mass vaccination program the trudeau sack scene was developed by a german company high on tech in partnership with the us pharmaceutical giant pfizer it is the fastest to fully certified human immune. is ation ever brought to

market. and let's go right to london shall some hill is standing by for us there with the latest hi charlotte good to see you needless to say a lot of people have been waiting for this moment it is now here so what happens next. wasn't this just the moment that was watched around the world sumi i think 1st before we take a look at what happens next i think we do have to pools reflect and absorb on what's happened today those 1st people to receive this vaccine outside of clinical trials margaret keane and of course the grandmother from central england was the 1st she's urge you to have a bad day very soon she said is the best birthday present she could hope for she says she hopes that it will mean that she will in the new year be able to be reunited with friends and family and is not exactly how all of us a watching this rollout of the vaccine are hoping that at some point it could be the light at the end of a very dark tunnel that we could start to be reunited ourselves with friends and

family now moving on to what happens next well health care officials here it's been very clear they stress that this is a marathon and not a sprint although it has been very rapid the time between the authorization of this vaccine from u.k. regulators last week and the rollout just 6 days later today the next phase will be a lot slower the 1st to be vaccinated will be those who have hospital appointments or in hospital ready who are over 80 they'll be vaccinated and hubs like the one just behind me which will be up and like this up and down the country others will be 1st in line will be health care front line workers and care home workers as well then rolling into the new year you'll start to see over 80 is the government here trying to roll out this vaccine outside of this hospital hubs and to the wider public those most vulnerable including care home residents as well now the whole

world is watching as we know how the u.k. is going to manage this logistically but also how it's going to win over hearts and minds to convince people to take this immunization because that of course is what that is how we are going to fight this virus now that we have this vaccine. we've been talking to people on the streets please take a look at my report. this is a moment the whole world's been waiting for the u.k. is the 1st to roll out the bio and tech pfizer 1000 vaccine it's a momentous moment for a population with the highest death toll in europe and offers a window of hope for the future. very very sadly lost many residents of those care homes who died from kobe had been a hugely challenging and difficult year and all the time this promise and this hope of a vaccine has been so it's very exciting to the point where it feels like we might

be able to make a really positive step or with the help of the facts in. the u.k. health service is calling this the biggest immunization program in its history 1st in line for the vaccine will be people over 80 as well as care home staff and front line health care workers but this rollout poses major logistical challenges this vaccine needs to be stored at around minus 70 degrees celsius and carefully meaning in england it will at 1st only be administered from 50 specific hospital hubs but. for the majority of the public here vaccinations at sites like this hospital a still a way off but for authorities in the u.k. the messaging surrounding the start of this rollout could not be more important after all approving the vaccine is one thing actually encouraging people to take it is quite another. as the 1st in the wall to water rise the vaccine the u.k. is dependent on public trust and enthusiasm isn't universal risk is what the long

term effects thanks to it i would take it. because it benefits outweigh the risks seems sensible thing to do and it still the way we're going to add to the pandemic i think is very very fast i was come out. i would say. see here. where everything you think you could use facebook uptake of the vaccine will be key to its success and all storage fees are being advised to find creative ways to address public concern and tackle misinformation there's some speculation the queen may even reveal she's had the vaccine to be confidence it is extremely important are these people get the vaccine so we need to find a way how to communicate it to them and how to in a way isolate them from these damaging examples of misinformation that they seeing

on social media and i think it is the role for the health providers it is a role for the community leaders to actually go out and try to explain to them what they seeing on social media is actually not always the truth. the eyes of the world are on the u.k. this week with governments king to see not just how it tackles the logistical challenges but how it sells this vaccine to a public being asked to keep pace with science. so charlie you know you touched on one of the big logistical challenges here is the fact that this vaccine has to be stored at minus 70 degrees celsius so how is the u.k. managing this. yes indeed it is not just about the storage temperature there are also some considerations when it comes to transporting this vaccine as we're all cumulating in the fact that it's very difficult to get the vaccine out there so the people that need it we've spoken to care managers for example they say that residents are going to have to wait simply

because it's not feasible for the vaccine at this stage to go into care homes and likewise those who are most vulnerable can't come to these hospital hubs to receive the vaccine just yet although the government here says that is something that they are working on of course that is a consideration that the whole world 5 will have to look into as and when they consider approving this particular vaccine and you talked a bit about that battle for hearts and minds to convince people that this vaccine is safe so what is the u.k. government doing there. we're expecting a p.r. campaign in the next days and weeks as the virus the vaccine does become more widely available they are trying to encourage people as many people as possible to take the vaccine they're also trying to fight a lot of the misinformation online some of which you heard in my report their concerns from the facts about this vaccine rolled out now among those expected to

take part in this p.r. campaign or a number of older celebrities a lot of them very british t.v. so they're not particularly famous across the world so far but there is one family who you well know queen of england and her husband philip they speculated to may announce once they have taken the vaccine of course both of them over 90 they will be among the 1st in line that's expected to be used public confidence here is as everyone here and across the world looks to see what the uptake is of this vaccine but it isn't just about the facts because it isn't just about the fact that this vaccine is available it's also not about the message it's also about the messenger as we're told. over and over again it's that the government here is hoping to use to convince people to take it. simple reporting for us from london thank you. now with a kopek 19 case is soaring here in germany chancellor angela merkel is pushing for

a decision on new tougher restrictions before the christmas holidays one of germany's leading health institutions leopold diena says the government should consider a heart lockdown starting on the 24th of december that would include a ban on travel or gatherings until the 10th of january the advisory committee also says school holidays should be extended with no exceptions for the christmas holiday season and correspondent julia so delhi is following the latest on the story for us hi julia we should say that this is the german government's leading scientific advisory body that sending a very clear message here will politicians listen and so the is germany's academy of sciences it brings together a number of experts and academics from different fields from medicine to politics to economics and it advisors government institutions on and recommends what they think the appropriate action should be and. herself the german chancellor has said

that she follows the recommendations as her source of information source that informs her decision making and it is a very well respected institution in germany and now there seems to be more calls among germany's state leaders and politicians for tougher restrictions maybe not as tough as what the d.n.i. is recommending but there seems to be some consensus building as to the importance now of further restrictions as the numbers here in germany are not going down so we know where the chancer stands but why have germany's regional leaders been reluctant to back her calls for tougher restrictions. well we have seen very different situations in the different states in germany in terms of how widespread the coronavirus is and how many deaths there have been we have seen states like very or berlin itself with very high numbers and on the other hand we've

seen states in the north for example with very low cases well below the alarm threshold and it has been hard to find an agreement. in terms of finding a nationwide approach a common nationwide approach when we see such different situations on the other hand of the economic concern is strong the 1st measures in the spring and partial lockdown now have taken a toll on the economy on businesses that have to shut so there is fear that a further harsh lockdown could be very problematic for the economy what about the german public giulia we know that the holidays are approaching how do germans feel about the possibility of a stricter lockdown in recent polls we've seen that a slight majority of germans want to see restrictions loosened over christmas but almost 70 percent think it's inappropriate to loosen restrictions over the new year's celebrations and in general a majority of germans approve of the current restrictions and about one in 5

germans think they don't go too far people i've spoken to here in berlin seem very aware that the situation is still serious that germany is not over this coronavirus wave and the fear that people gathering over christmas might keep the situation as it is or even make it worse. julia delhi thank you. let's check in on some other stories making headlines around the world u.s. president elect joe biden will nominate retired general lloyd austin to be a secretary of defense according to a number of us media reports awesome would be the 1st african-american to leave the pentagon after a 41 year army career austin is now on the board of raytheon one of america's biggest weapons firms police in hong kong have arrested 8 pro-democracy activists including former lawmaker home the arrests mark

by for us in delhi so farmers say that these reforms are against their interests the government on the other hand is saying that these new laws will not hurt farmers income so who is right here. let me at this point it's a matter of perspective got rich is insisting that new laws i don't necessary to displease you should next mean agricultural in egypt and the correct important being that certainly within the government market structure they got our middle man the end of pomalyst to access markets which are one competitor because they allow that this and i'll say it is government regulated markets to play with players as well however most farmers are concerned that once frankly as often it's getting it in invention you got to get a look when they get in but have to drag down prices dramatic weak links will launch in the long run they also whatever the government will back from getting

trades they had offered so far on christi paul well and this is specially concerned the did not mention this guaranteed trades or the minimum support friends as we're seeing images there of these protests you know the farmers are not backing down so how determined is the government to really push these reforms through. well it looks like the government is just added to jones only because why did that have already been fighters out of nick was emotions between the government and our leaders following leaders and insisting that even when we back off on these told us why as well she was a cute look the government is stinking daddy's laws and being our people don't even try to do you it is negotiations to convince our was these laws are actually on the greater good if you want to be out of this deadlock little league if i can say acts off at least one force that we could be if the government issues that region data and that minimum support ganti is the law for so far they may continue on of

foreign leaders of the sidelines of these negotiations have said that gaddafi will also not be enough of this has been a really big movement of the farmers have essentially had delhi under siege for nearly 2 weeks now and there is today strike how much support do they have in india right now. but there definitely seems to be a significant out or don't support it in the specially seemed to be joining the national strike of course in the box we have i mean to be coming from celebrity to drive he's going out and supporting opposition parties had its best of course all of this try and go straight there's been child support you can use back unions it's going to tax the unions that have sent it isn't going to promise trade well i will promise that there is that is the district we'll need between 11 pm and she can try to ensure that those goes and not inconvenience they want to exercise and this is

an obvious and while it mark you do add to their protest against things on laws especially in that up to the 6 down the nickel series and then ask andrew to model in addition the only minister in india seems to have ordered the bombing or don't deny it it's not so anybody would watch truth even be on the day long. as we're reporting in delhi good to talk to you. now there is still no sign of a breakthrough after another day of brags that talks time is running out to make a trade deal and avoid economic chaos british prime minister boris johnson has now set to travel to brussels to try to strike a last minute deal in person the european union's chief negotiator michele bunny however is not hopeful about the chances of an agreement he says key sticking points remain. european leaders still locked in disagreement with the u.k. over the fatal terms of a trade deal held a high stakes call on monday to thrash out their positions. on the in

a bed to unlock the jam e.u. commission president found a line spoke at length on the phone to yuki prime minister boris johnson but to no avail conditions were not there for an agreement they both said they plan to meet in passion in the coming days just a few sticking points have kept the sites from striking a deal one is the so-called level playing field that has rules governing business competition. a 2nd sticking point is more visceral who gets the fish france has threatened to veto any agreement that doesn't grant e.u. fishing boats generous access to british waters the u.k. formally left the european union in january of this year but agreed to adhere to the blocked rules until a new deal could be forged after nearly a year of talks there's no deal and the deadline is less than 4 weeks away officials are gloomy and so are many on the streets of london. streets in crazy i mean truth real single 16 we voted in 4 years later but i think everybody's

progress at all to be honest with you somehow this what we do we bury that sort of you say feels like it's been buried in the public to know about this and what's going on but it's buried among blocked out pandemic virus that needs to come to their senses i'm not worried about it we need to get something so detailed as talks failed the u.k. would be left without a trade deal this would cost both sides hundreds of thousands of jobs and destruct trade for years to come. have an interest in striking a deal they just don't have much time. to steal a peace deal signed by arminius prime minister has prompted the opposition to call for his resignation many armenians are angry article. sessions called last month to end a 6 week war with azerbaijan. that agreement sees our media returning a significant part of disputed territory to azerbaijan thousands of azerbaijan is

december 29 teams lost radiance bushfires are spreading across bigger and biggest waves are planned for wildlife researcher kelly it is becoming clear just how perilous the situation is. she decides to evacuate the 12 koala bears that she has been studying for years before the flames reach the blue mountains it is the 1st time that she has been forced to take this kind of action. you know to have your forests. with a small group of x.

plants unfallen tears she manages to save a small but still significant number of koalas that survival is important for the conservation of the species. hundreds of thousands of other animals are also in immediate danger. but. fire at europe that what.

huge. one month after the evacuation of the koala bears we meet up with kelly again on the edge of the national park where she works she still unable to visit the most heavily bound area for safety reasons. that i then blazes was still raging in 2 australian states and had already destroyed 80 percent of the blue mountains national park the park is part of

a unesco world heritage area and home to the country's most genetically diverse population of koalas. pretty heartbreaking to say especially once you get to know koalas you know we give them names who go volunteers that come out and help track them where we had to we were really lucky that we got in and got some out before the fires that had radio collars on them and so all but 2 we've got one koala on the on burnt side we hope to still here and then one that we had to lay down in the area he was too far and it would be an all day just to get one koala and we got 4 or 5 that day so we really came to get it and see how he's doing but knowing there's so many through here and knowing it's such an important population that's nationally significant it's yeah it's been utterly heartbreaking to watch it happen . the research is real mission is to devise strategies to help protect the species from possible extinction but instead she finds herself giving 1st aid to animals that have escaped the flames.

yeah. down a bit i think what's happening is that working can stations with water and food are now essential for the d. hydrated injured monsoon vine will spin isn't it. we can also put a rope on the bottom to guide it as it goes up. but i'm just going to check. any. more territory. that the colors come off.

so did i really want to hear that. we had a story of hope here in the mountains where finding a lot of koalas where we didn't expect there were young and growing populations and they're in in in a protected area that's protected from habitat loss and now we've lost for at least for the 5 populations that we've been studying have been impacted by. kelly came to us i think it was around the 23rd of december. it was the day the township of bilton which is about a 15 minute draw from he was impacted by severe far conditions they lost houses the

conditions were terrible. she was found by the far far as at about midnight in an area of force that had been completely burnt out in mazing thing about her is that coming out of that area she has now been. morgan film part has been working closely with kelly lead for years he has even named one of the bands in his camp kelly in how ana carried a kilometer has recovered from the problems caused by smoke inhalation bans both kelly and how companion marine a suffering from colombia for a bacterial infection that focal whiners can end in death it's a real privilege to have these animals come in and stay with us it's a lot of stress as a carer because you want to help everyone that you can unfortunately we can't always help these animals to the point that they can be released sometimes we were injured although to seek obviously the best part of doing this is that you get to

let them go and take them back with i should say because this isn't where they should be back out in the wall is where there's got to go out and make more more qualities. you know he's years of looking after wild animals morgan has never had so much to do one of the main challenges is finding the right eucalyptus leaves for them to eat. he says he is distraught and disappointed by the way australian politicians have failed to acknowledge the dangers of climate change for so many years for is not new stride by any stretch but certainly the skyll and the intensity of the far as that we're saying now is something i don't think any of us have signed the tractors will say the strike is always advise and that an arguably that's correct but not like this it's either warming just not used to getting the scale of animals that we've got coming in right now as a result of these farmers and it's a national trend or international tragedy and these animals don't just belong to us

it's trying to belong to the world. and just the sky and the loss is an imagined it will. have they're going to bounce back and it's not obviously it's not just the koalas it's always try and wildlife affected here and the bush as well . the bush fires raged for 240 days destroying more than 12000000 hectares of bush and releasing 400000000 tonnes of carbon dioxide into the. wildfires on a seasonal occurrence in australia global warming has extended those seasons and

made the blazes more severe. 3 years australia has been experiencing extremely mountainous and dry summers. 1000000000 animals are estimated to have died in last summer's mines according to experts it's a figure that has shocked the world. it was one of the most destructive environmental catastrophes of our times. an army of volunteers vets and scientists joined together to help in an incredible act of solidarity. the.

australia was caught unprepared and was confronted with its own vulnerability it became apparent that it did not have enough resources and effective strategies to protect its unique ecosystems the government has listed 113-1000 species that need emergency intervention to ensure that survival after the devastating fires. could come get a little. bit of that way but i've. never thought he may know the

quicker us your animals came to us than expected i thought that many died in the flames or had to be put to sleep because they couldn't be saved but i got to get a military going to go there we train our data most recurrence happened if you notice about all of it we consider whether treatment is worthwhile or not and unfortunately or to. many were not to be say. we decided to put to sleep animals with more than 20 percent burns or mistreatment in those cases has little chance of success or is very protracted. animals had in behavior to protect themselves and fires they follow nature's lessons in the event of danger or that the one bats generally hide under ground and koalas climb up trees higher and higher when you can become a normal fire is usually burn in the middle section and travel rapidly even if you know the eucalyptus trees are full of oil and burned quickly with a fire moves on and the tree tops remain intact and when the creatures are badly

affected by smoke inhalation they can survive with but this year the fires were so ferocious that the trees burned in their entirety of that in the koalas were roasted alive in the treetops on the. italian vat the renzo cross is director of the university of sydney's avian reptile and exotic pet hospital which provides canta wildlife. he's one of the few people able to treat the little researched koalas today he is looking after a fonzie a koala who was found catching on to a tree and a river although he has no obvious severe injuries the creature still isn't back on its feet. we're going to take some of a cerebral spinal fluid and send it to a lab for testing. we want to know whether it contains inflammatory cells or bacteria which would cause and suffer lidice or meningitis if being in a way because in that case we will of course have to treat the animal to like

a bit of a bit of. a lease to the bushfires have given scientists an opportunity to gather useful data and the global headlines have forced the all foreigners to provide funds to help save wildlife yet silicosis if everything goes well it will hopefully develop new strategies now that we can use to help australian wildlife in future fires with it is up not just to save animals directly but also for example by issuing guidelines to prevent those kinds of fires very near and to know how to respond when the fires become threatening that's just as important as the treatment of the animals themselves because prevention is better than a cure but any of them in your head that. have been living in sydney's taronga zoo since their evacuation plan they are patiently awaiting their return to the wild. they're feeling a lot better and while

a climatized and no longer dehydrated. thank you. that we've just gone through and removed a few of their branches that were fed out yesterday what it does they are the lucky ones and they are now in good hands nick performance has been looking after. for 20 years now but even so particular responsibility in this situation the 1st few days no doubt you know there was some settling in stress that they koalas endured they were captured from very tall trees in the wall and put into little carry crates and then transported a few hours by car so all of that was foreign to them so of course they were exhibiting some stress what we've seen in those few weeks that have unfolded since is that they're quite comfortable animals and now we've changed our husbandry practices to be is mainly just being patient and so we only come here and sit on of

the day so the animals become accustomed to that we're seeing them demonstrate normal behavior is any good genetic population that we can hold on to is just being made so much more vital. least 8000 koalas dying in the state of new south wales party do sounds to me did that the country's entire population of the creatures has been decimated. their numbers were already in decline before the bushfires because of endemic doozies the destruction of their habitats by uncontrolled logging and illegal wildlife trafficking. as a species was in their millions european settlement so we're talking only just over 200 years and now we're a seeing such a huge population the quien that we're now with in estimates of 82300000 now obviously significantly less than that due to the recent fires so when you consider

such a small amount to what otherwise they have that could occupy they are they are in dire straits like there are species in the climate and certainly you know worthy is being listed as threatened species it's taken a very catastrophic event log these large fires for people to actually realise the situation that i was watching. if there will be this way. after months of finance the deluge of rainfall that followed brought only partial relief. the worst france in 3 decades brought new problems to the beleaguered country. where the events of these kind could become the new normal.

in quick succession australia found itself going from one extreme to another the signs of an ecosystem that has been thrown off balance. which could recover but only stone age. in the midst of the dance and destruction the sun signs of life and knew how. right. they were doing a couple different things basically this is to inform us putting our koalas back

the ones we took at the patrol that so we're trying to work out if we need to put them back in the un burnside or if we can put them back in this low intensity band section where we got them from so they can be mighty bouncing back so i will be going behind doing scat surveys and looking at how many sketches we find in the different quality vegetation and you guys have a during the search and rescue line looking out for koalas and if we find fresh scat we'll call you in to help go spotting for the actual koala that has the. in the people and say we just have to stay in a tight group today you now said rescue lines i was out radio but safety g.p.s. devices well so it is that they know that it has been 3 months since the coal miners were evacuated from the blue mountains and now it is possible for kelly to set foot again but in certain areas of the national long. this conference in case. it's not that way for them it's called smudge is one of the dogs on the frontline of the koala search and rescue mission he can detect by

smell things that we cannot see and that makes him indispensable worth much if not. more. so his findings are really small fragments likely. that there will be a half one say that there are a fairly very much year old dried there so that's half a dried koalas get the old one a one so probably pretty far right talk about what's right. for my life. stands yeah that one good joke. i. guess emphasis mudge.

can of that old soon a bit of green in there. so. i'd be waco too. we haven't. heard since the right yeah more recent and so here we've got surviving koalas it's true that he's finding older deposits at this site where we know those quotes have been through more recently so probably to wake or to so indicates the surviving animals here which is great ok moving. the discovery of the fresh droppings motivates the volunteers to comb the bush for. the excursion is also intended to ourselves whether viruses are now foliage to nourish the animals in the wild all these information helps the research is to map

the scorched zone and compare the data with that gathered before the bushfires it helps them gain a clearer picture of the blazes impact. it's hard to determine how many animals remain in the area but unless 100 taxon is taken the beloved koala could disappear by the year 2050. their fair. share of world. war. or found favor. well spotted. this hidden by the canopy out there. in the world. yeah he's got a little dot mark on the chest there. so you can say he's a male and generally looks alright now is in good condition no signs of any

injuries. so we will leave him in peace. healthy look and go out to have a straight up. so this is what we call in and call it call on tags so it's a new color one we haven't seen before because if we took them mostly out before the 5 and got 2 animals in here that do have tags on at the moment so most of the ones we're going to find will be new we normally when we radio track we do find new animals every now and then because we know there's a pretty good population in here but we would also expect some might have moved out from the fire front up into this area as well so you know whether this is a resident or a koala that's moved in we are not sure. for kelly this is just the beginning of a painstaking repopulation process one requiring a lot of time and a lot of energy got to get probably one more wake of imagery satellite imagery to look at chlorophyll content and just check we have i've got exact locations of where we took them from so we can say if that where we took them from is

a good golly that that's good moisture content and good kind of being there for them and in that case you put them straight back to the top and from put some of them were not used to put them if they came from really that hit patch choose to put them back on the other side the right nearby so it's just coming down to those details now exactly when to put them back it's 2 months after our 1st visit to meet morgan again it has stopped raining the bushfires have been extinguished and walk is proceeding so the stuff is already as you feel it as you know has a 3rd koala in his calf. when he took him in 7 weeks ago he was a death's door for the animal has recovered quickly and is now ready to be released into the wild again unlike kelly and marie who we met back in january. think it's starting to wane and then something happens when the girls had some recent issues with skin problems through what we think is just a show tick that the had up to all the right events that happened on live whether

it's correlated with this explosion of ticks. neither of them are sick or comedia and about eating really well they're getting also what little marine here has gained a kilo in the last 3 or 4 weeks and the other one's going about half of the life that they're putting on a little while and otherwise there'd be 3 we already have a relates to morgan has to kaffir them daily and disinfect bank cage every 3 days to find the teak infestation but he's not letting that get in town returning the quaters to the habitat is a process that now. aids patients and sound preparation. part of the protocol is the quality get any tag and each year when recalled the color of the tag and the number and they also get a mark right you inserted. in the shoulder blood and that then and isles off that if this animal gets sick again or gets injured and comes into chaos then we know

who she is and more medical history has day. so i will be looking at a lace another 4 weeks in k. to treat this skin condition now and that's providing it responds to the treatment that we're getting. well it's ok and we're going to die it's like. you know. it's a fade. but with animals like this unexpected things can happen and that sort of blows out tom of these animals dying careful and you cannot be tarred and fatigue but you've got to take you know you just want to commit to it you've got to keep going until the job's finished. the our use of the game. has become

a symbol of both global themes and. that is carly squalor and that they say she's been trying to do for a few months now. taking a back the right way we caught it from the. commies return home without incident and she remains completely oblivious to her

significance to research is struggling to save her species. the emergence of covert 19 rushes the offical almost to be released sooner than expected. this shows how connected on story is to thoughts of our environment. and environment for which we are responsible. so i think again that's the way this is that now the 2nd coming months and we certainly haven't we obviously need biodiversity 70 percent of our medicines come from nature in a way highly dependent on it whether we realize it or not say i'm hoping that the tide changes and we do it all before it really impacts us more than it has some in this was a big impact for a stray and most people were affected by the pfizer knew someone who was affected by the 5 say now's a good time to change and i think a lot of us will be pushing for that.

people in looking for coverage. there are many answers. there are many reasons. and there are many alternatives to. make up your own mind. to. make for minds.
