and your family from caesar's and the whole pipeline the 5 cubans to see for use though you also have a role to play. this is state of the news of live from berlin germany's health minister unveils the official time days before covert 19 vaccinations with new infections and deaths from the virus searching who gets a lifesaving jab will 1st and who passed away also coming out 1st images of the schoolboys kidnapped last week by islamist militants arriving at government

buildings in the northern city of have seen up their doctrine prompted public anger and french to moms for better protection for nigeria's children. cause britain is gathering crisis in care for the elderly with health care workers from the game you leaving to harm stopping shortages of becoming a key. and why singapore's street food markets are getting a global stamp of approval from unesco. i'm rebecca riches welcome to the program for the 1st time in germany has recorded more than 30000 new corona virus infections in just 24 hours it comes as the country prepares to begin to vaccinate people on december 27 health minister a young man has today officially set out the government's vaccination on stress that it will be essential to set priorities because they want the n.l.

facts saying in the beginning people over the age of 18 nursing home residents and their care is will be the 1st. to get the jet the minister said. everyone else to be patient until it is their turn to be vaccinated and. start with the very old and fragile and they can take is in order to protect this particularly vulnerable group which has. now to talk about germany's role that plan we're joined by georg mock and he's a professor of medical ethics at the load vague max millions university in munich professor mark my thanks for joining us now from an ethical perspective you happy with germany's rollout plan. well i think it's very important to have a. plan at all or if we want to maximize the benefits of the limited available vaccines and we do we need clearer scheme of priorities and i'm pretty

happy because those who have the highest risk for a severe course of covert not in sissie's they will be vaccinated 1st and they have come because now that takes care of these vulnerable people they will also be next noted 1st and all of those who have a lower risk of infection where the lower risk of a severe course of disease they have to wait they won't go without a vaccine they had to wait a little longer indeed but the daily death rate is steadily going up and every 2nd death is a patient over 80 years 80 years of age but that of course means that every other patient isn't over 80 do you think it's right to prioritize those elderly in this 1st round of vaccinations. yes we see in the data that people over 80 they have really the highest risk for a fatal course of the to see thing of the highest mortality compared to younger a groups and of course it would be nice to be able to max and they all age groups.

also those over 70 but i think we should remember that we still have the conventional possibilities to prevent the spread of the disease and the facemask there keep distance and all of these possibilities so those who won't be backs unaided and the 1st time they will have other possibilities than to really stay safe now of course we've been hearing name fiction rate is also going up vastly more than $30000.00 today it's never been that high so some hospitals are already reaching their capacity and sounding the alarm and desperate medical staff saying they need to prioritize who to supply we have lifesaving oxygen what do you say to those staff how should they take those decisions. well these are very very difficult decisions i think much more difficult and prioritizing explanations because if you don't have enough beds in the intensive care unit some patients may

go out with life sustaining treatment and they will die we actually drafted a recommendation with them from medical societies during the 1st wave of the covert 19 and yanick and they are this recommendations they really give good guidance for clinicians and they should i don't care it resources according to the probability of survival so they will limit. intensive care medicine only to those who have a very very low chance of survival who will die even with intensive care with a high probability and this will lead to the fact that most lives can be saved with a limited of a couple resources but of course we try to optimize the usage of the intensive care capacities in germany so we do all it to avoid this kind of rationing now of course this is a global pandemic some countries obviously wealthier than others will they be fair

access or you know what's the ethical and the ethics behind the richest countries getting the access to the drug 1st. well i think that's a very important issue where and i think we should strive for global justice global equity in access to the big sea but it's very difficult because we don't have these effective structure is to really balance the access to the banks see for example the european countries they train together and the european union organized. the purchase of the deck seems to have been and other countries like the u.s. they have had a. past track. licensing of the darkseed so they were good earlier and and we have to think about the 0 income countries in the world and they will have a hard time to get the vaccine so this is really an issue in an effort to think we try to should try to work together internationally to allow access also to those

countries who are in a different more difficult economic situation right georg markman professor of medical ethics at livi maximillian university munich thanks very much. thank you. may while the u.s. has moved closer to approving a 2nd covert 19 vaccine after an independent panel of experts in-doors the shot made by pharmaceutical company while diana the decision paves the way for the f.d.a. to approve emergency use of the vaccine the u.s. has already started its mass immunization with a kovacs a buy biotech pfizer the new under pressure to follow suit said it would speed up its approval of the madonna vaccine at its age and is now expected on january 6th. let's take a look now at the latest global developments in the pandemic china is planning to vaccinate 15000000 high risk people before the start of its lunar new year at least

very quickly become a political issue we have people on the side of the he supports us who are rejoicing this celebrating saying that this easy huge victory for. the stray shown on the other hand there are people who have busy come up with conspiracies saying that. this entire scene was made up just to make president bush look good so i think this is not in general this is not only a victory for me this is a victory for the entire country the fact that this boys were returned whatever the case was the fact that they came back sound and healthy is something to celebrate hari has repeatedly claimed that boko haram has been technically defeated what does this kidnapping tell us about their presence and strength in much area.

. the kid never had to move everyone here is afraid and worried my father in syria has just died of coronavirus 3 days ago. we were called. the explosion at the beirut harbor in august was the catalyst for a wider crisis 200 people died 7000 were injured and 300000 made homeless the already teetering economy crashed completely and that has affected the willingness to support around 1000000 refugees in the small country. they're a burden on lebanon and any other country they live in they should go back home. they need to go back lebanon is in a huge crisis we also don't have jobs and money for food there is nothing nice and nothing but that is so for those sentiments off felt in the bekaa valley many syrians here are afraid of being attacked and are scared to leave the camps at

a person appreciation would never be on the rada. as for all other e.u. citizens in the future the doctors and nurses will need to beas us they want to work in the u.k. already fluff you are entering now ended before breaks it. the coronavirus pandemic has exposed the flaws in the u.k. health service amongst them a shortage of staff so every year doctor nurse of cal worker that goes back to their home country leaves a gap on a hospital ward or in a cab home. because this i don't think about right see go run several nursing homes in 04 in eastern england he often discusses with his team how to cope with stuff shortages since the brags of referendum it has been nearly impossible for him to find qualified workers. we have 120 stalls. we are now down to 98 permanent staff and the rest is made up of agency staff

particular flavor they bring to life in singapore and added them to their cultural heritage list. it sizzles simmers and seems something's always cooking in singapore's hawkers centers 24 hours a day 7 days a week. every morning at 5 am lena starts preparing to dove for the fish pools in her kitchen singaporeans eat around a 1000000 of them a day and here they're still handmade. i think us puppet is very happy to share a piece of the bones so fish was there and it was so easy to show kids love fish balls yes i think that. that's what c.s.e. were into love it to taste of delta. lina and her husband even served hundreds of portions of fish ball soup every day they run one of more than 18000 food stalls in

the city's food court the hawker centers chinese malays and indian influences all come together here. jeevan is typical of this cultural mix he's of indian heritage but his dishes are inspired by chinese cooking and it defines your voice in a voice so culturally diverse we have so many different people of all sorts of races and lots of like coming together sharing the common love of food. chicken or duck with rice for 3 euros a singapore classic the dish has even and this hawker a michelin star the longer the queue the best of the food that's the rule of thumb here but going to a hawk a center is not just about filling your stomach according to food blogger leslie terry more than half of all singaporeans visit one of the food courts at least once a day for breakfast lunch or dinner. you see our prime minister lining up for the

recruit more people getting most of the revenue is out there just in time to time. singaporeans love their food every evening at 7 and entire street in the business district is closed off and turned into a street food market in singapore good cheap food is almost a basic rights and now part of humanity's intangible cultural heritage. it's a sport down by robert leavened ask a has won the 5th best fans player of the year award after scoring 55 goals in all competitions last season he beat previous winners cristiana rinaldo and lionel messi for the prize the pole helped by and seal a champions league wonder slager and german cup treble it's the 32 year old 1st global award meanwhile england defender lucy bronze took the women's prize 29 year old won the champions league with leon in all best before moving to manchester city

thin did not regard robinson is the negro leagues best slugger josh gibson who reportedly hit between 800 in 1000 home runs and pitcher satchel paige a 5 time all star in the negro leagues were both considered more talented page went on to play in the major leagues but unfortunately gibson never did the true statistical achievements of negro league players may be impossible to know as the negro leagues did not compile complete statistics or came summaries despite that the league is no longer considered 2nd class thousands of negro league baseball players stats from the past have finally been validated there could be some changes in the record books in that finally writes the past wrong. there is no record whether it's josh gibson's batting average or satchel paige is one last stone that resonates with me as does the inclusion of more than $3400.00 players most of them

overcame depression. through to struggling with a serious pandemic and i'm not talking about covert i'm talking about mental illnesses like depression anxiety and personality disorders they're on top of the world health problems even more than cardiovascular diseases welcome to good shape according to the world health organization w h o 90 percent of affected patients don't get adequate help and even friends and family might sell the pay. come on pull yourself together but make no mistake it can't affect any of us. jules is in her element on the tennis court she's vibrant energetic reliable just like in her day to day life. but a year ago she felt like the she had come off. i'm i was i was kind of fundamental

in. all of a sudden i had a new sense of joy. i just felt empty inside. like my life had no meaning. it was hard for me to imagine a more positive future. and they all smile and. jules has always been a high achiever and it was hard to accept that something was wrong. and outwardly she seemed fine. to me ringback going to sources of the. demise and i'm not sure very many people even noticed not also it's not really something you can see it's kind of an invisible illness kind of trying to. get to jules' quite a while to realize that she was suffering from depression she tried to ignore how she felt and putting face on things then she decided to quit her job. not too long after that she suffered another blow. and that was the breaking point.

why did. my basically it was breaking up with my partner there really sent me over the end i really lost my grip on my life that i was dead inside i was totally not. the liberals i miss was my parents popped up on it and realized that what i was going through was a more than just normal heart. mr. jones decided to get help 1st she spent 3 months in an inpatient clinic now she sees a 3rd. just once a week. in sara piece she's been learning to understand and accept herself this kind of behavioral therapy isn't always easy it takes courage to dig beneath the surface of things. it makes you feel terribly vulnerable to recover you need someone to take you by the hand and talk you through things. and then you can learn the same thing

for yourself. but to say about what are. the things the starting to look up again and jules is open about what she's been going straight. to celebrate her newly won self confidence she's decided to get a tattoo. some callers for meant for me it's i'm a licensed health care and self love it reminds me to accept my body and my spirit to accept myself the way i know. i'm in. the black and white stripes symbolise the ups and downs of her pass through depression and the tennis ball the joy she's now taking in life. so they really did it. with.

prejudice and false rumors make it very tough for those affected with mental illnesses it's very hard for them to talk about the situation in the us there's a coffee shop called sip of hope and there you absolutely can talk about it and it's caught on here in germany in munich there's a coffee shop to. what looks like an ordinary coffee house is actually much more it's the 1st mental health cafe in germany guests here in new york can only sit down for a nice hot drink. also learn about mental health here. kind of has a loft and we're not a crisis center for someone with big problems there are other places in munich to get we're here for people who want to talk to someone get some advice it's easier to come here and say i'll have a coffee maybe take a flying with me than it is to say i need therapy or i have to go to the emergency room. dominic demanding came up with the idea for germany's

1st mental health café her role model is the soup of hope project a cafe in chicago. dominick has dealt with the topic of mental health since 2015 as an author and a blogger she describes her own experiences. she was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder about 15 years ago. as astonished as had just as she said one source to admitting to yourself you need help is the hardest part i'm willing to get help for other things physical problems come problems learning to play an instrument we get helpful all sorts of things except for what's going on inside our own heads that was a big step for me a turning point when things started to improve if i hadn't been willing to open up to get help none of this could have happened as i was.

within about a year of coming up with the idea dominick and her team found a good location. for friends all pitched in to help set up the space so the cafe could open its doors. how's it going we just screwed the last bit together and now we can finally hang it from the ceiling. the project also benefited from an online crowdfunding campaign. dominic was surprised and grateful at how many people were willing to pitch in. the crowd funding the crowd funding campaign was incredibly successful we received 33000 euros we had different donation levels the smallest was 5 euros the largest 5000 euros a lot of people donated more than 540 people said what a great idea i want to support this. then came the grand opening of germany's

1st mental health café opened its doors. just like an ordinary coffee shop there's food and drink on the menu but here there's also a way to signal if you're up for a chat. or a red flag on your table means you want peace and quiet. the green flag means you're happy to talk to other guests. after it makes it easier whenever someone his about our flags they say oh i wish i had something like that we all have those moments where we think i wish someone would ask me how i'm doing or maybe don't talk to me i can't cope. this is a way of signaling what you're up for. the cafe also regularly hosts specialists who are willing to give a bit of guidance free of charge. and have studied medicine and spent a year and a half working in the field of psychosomatic medicine for children and adolescents

. she's planning to help out in the cafe twice a week. yes sir now that your lives have the kinds of conversations people have when they're talking about how they really feel and not how they wish they felt a much nicer and more honest you don't have to share everything but your entire life story on instagram that's not what this is about but it can feel really good to be authentic to give an honest answer to the question how are you today it can make a real difference in. the mental health cafe is no substitute for professional therapy it's a place where people can go to talk and maybe gain some insight or a way forward. there are books on mental health issues informational brochures and regular workshops and lectures plus meditation and yoga courses are offered and seminars on how to reduce stress it's an idea that seems to be catching on. in

business this month listen to the song it's nice to have a place where you can sit down and find someone to talk to you don't have to make but you can if you want. the most will be damaging one of the i care about people and i want people to be happy mean clude it i find it hard warming that such a wonderful cafe is open tier coffee instead this is so full of a good well they've put a lot of love into this it's wonderful that people with mental health issues or people who care about them can come here from simple. germany's 1st mental health café seems to be off to a good start. if somebody has let's say a heart attack or kidney stones this is usually socially accepted but what if you would have a psychosomatic disorder or excited disorder friends and family will sometimes give unqualified advice and will react in disbelief places so i sent medical peter out.

the victoria park hospital here i'm going to. a meeting dr chris don't stop it hello pleasure but i was preparing the interview of a group through the terms mental health and mental disorder. can you explain the difference if you take the world health organization they state that health is the complete absence of psychological. physical and social problems which is a state that cannot be reached for a long period of time when the person who are into disorder on one hand if a spider uses such horror to you that you have to avoid the situation where you find the spider. that it uses problems living your life like you would do normally on the other hand let's say you are afraid of using an elevator

but you never occur confronted with this problem because you live in a rural area where you don't need to use it then there is no suffering and also then i would not suggest somebody to to search for treatment people with sort of group programs of. the program. or to consider. if you have a person that is mentally ill and suffers from housing nations. or intense feelings that we cannot see we cannot touch we have never experienced by ourselves for many people this is this is something that induces intense fear and often people dislike what they what they fear and they exclude people due to this they're all looking for. people with a look for crew problems for instruments only. of rooms interesting point

what is a weak person so we don't have the same talents some of us are good sports others are good in math and so forth imagine a strong person with with which is gifted they can suffer from mental flight. this can happen to basically anybody and then you are not capital of controlling your mental operations so in my opinion this has nothing to do with weak or strong. you have to put some sort of struggle for many of the mental disorders this is just not true and i think the best example will be the anxiety disorders the core of this disorder is that people have intense feelings of fear when you try to control it by avoiding the situation by doing something that

that reduces the fear your brain learns that this situation or stimulus might be dangerous the more you try to pull yourself together the more fear you would experience with number 3. it's only excuse for lazy people to book well actually here it's quite the opposite so if you look in our clinic we often treat people which suffer from severe depression who cannot experience joy anymore and lack drive people suffering from depression oppression often suffer from thoughts and feelings of worthlessness they just wish to be healthy again not depressed anymore to have back their drive to go back to work another move. would just state that mental illness is physical and i think most other psychiatry's would say the same there is no

difference between mental and physical disorders in this respect in some regions of the road there are no doctor experts who hope the people who want to do i mean not long time ago with the same situation has been true for. for europe as well and i think that although many of the symptoms cannot be treated without modern medical aid like medication like antidepressants or anti psychotics but the social problems like unemployment or other things that that result from the mental illness can be treated by professional help here but may be better treated in 3rd world countries by there are surrounding like family friends or try at least book what's the best ready for it from a viewer for the. somebody who's problems if you do not have experienced

nations yourself or. depression.
