you know we're talking about one day and this is what happens here these people couldn't go to the doctor couldn't go to see him go to the hospital these are acceptable because this is commission against a specific group and a group of cases people. in madrid and barcelona particularly people's rights were being abused still hope to set about spain's health minister. also came under criticism in a way that investigation should be stationed or of course they cannot make any pronunciation of these issues before the day right body to do to make a judgment on these procedures to ensure. there was a clear. instruction from the u.s. he go and measure the vote of the he seek. discarding any kind of discrimination. more than 30000 care home residents in spain have died of covert 19 though the

situation has got better recently doctors representative say many cases would have been avoided both at the care homes been better equipped. with christmas just around the corner spain seems to regain some optimism infection rates are falling some restrictions are being relaxed however the discussion regarding the violation of basic human rights of people during the pandemic will certainly continue after an hour outside one body at all must make his way back to the care home he likely won't leave even for christmas the risk is that parents need to hide and he'd rather be alone in his small room he says and see a return to the conditions of spring. talks between britain and the a you unopposed bragg's and trade deal are once again going into overtime after negotiators failed to meet another key deadline for compromise but european parliament had warned that it would not vote on a deal secured after midnight on sunday. but it's believed significant differences

remain on fisheries the u.k. is due to leave the e.u. single market and 10 days' time. david mcallister is a member of the european parliament and he chairs its oversight committee for the brics it talks mr mcallister good to have you with us another deadline has passed when do you think the negotiations are going to be completed you go from brussels well that yes indeed in 10 days you know putin the lead single vocative because you're still both sides. fighting the grievances we have bustles like many other places 1st before the going to get she ations. that would be the next stage because since we really have to prepare for the scenario or won't be ended britain's means it's still very

difficult. why after years of talking is it's still going down to the wire and it's taking so long to get to where we are at now and still we're not seeing a clear outcome. the sides made enormous progress in the negotiations on. its. results. the takes off it's ready however the thing is agreed and so that if it is agreed especially by the playing field the fisheries. remain in these gaps need to be bridged i mean we are now at a stage where principles and. more importantly room to be governed. by a. spray of water where the very last these negotiations are. still. in the void in their view of scenarios because of never viewed with severe

consequences from especially from the united kingdom their view of the rest of the consequences of. what about the criticism from london that it's up to the e.u. to move on its red lines yourself said that every step should be taken to avoid disruptions for eat you said and couldn't a compromise be one of them. they are always about finding compromise and the european union has to these negotiations with being open minded are ready to strike a deal we want the most and should we have the. respect read not strong by the u.k. government but of the. u.k. . we also have principles in the union especially to protect the integrity of all single lockets and to make sure it is fair competition the business is the

best sides of the channel we are offering the science of it we have met the offer the all quota free tariff free access to the world's about the single market but this comes of this condition and the condition is that we have a level playing field as we go. which will then go into the competition on both sides of the channel so we're doing business to protect the interests of business is of course all citizens apart from deal or no deal is there any other possible outcome to the talks we've seen plenty of deadlines go by and the talks possibly be delayed to next year the european parliament was ready to. to a possible agreement in the normal. or a procedure but. as you say by

a. time to ratify the agreement the moment to c.d.'s and now we'll look at the options which still remain one option could be a transition period is extended however this would require that you will burst sides of the government as being absolutely the better there's a sense. in extend it because you did it so we will now have to find a solution in case a deal is struck. as to how we can then make sure the european parliament will have sufficient time to scrutinise to be agreement off the 1st of january provision about could be an option but the moment we're not discussing the details of the vision of the occasion or other options. whether there will be a deal or all right crunch time in brussels david mcallister

a member of the european parliament and the chair for the bracks talks oversight group thank you very much. thank you to let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world and the united states top leaders in congress say they have reached an agreement on a new covert 19 relief package after months of wrangling lawmakers struck a bipartisan deal worth $900000000000.00 businesses and individuals will now get long overdue support and an economy battered by the pandemic. once. germany's main services trade union has called for a strike and amazon 6 german warehouses the campaign would last until christmas eve the union says its goal is to pressure the online retailer into a recognized collective wage and workplace safety agreements. here in germany a man has been sentenced to life in prison for attempting one of the country's

worst anti-semitic attacks since world war 2 a court has convicted the 20 year old far right extremists of murder and attempted murder the defendant killed 2 people and afforded attack on a synagogue in the eastern city of harlow last year during the trial he admitted he had wanted to break into the synagogue and kill all $51.00 people inside. here's a look back on the day that shocked germany. on yom kippur war the holiest day in the jewish calendar more than 50 community members and guests were celebrating in the synagogue in the hall or. at midday a heavily armed neo nazi attacked the synagogue he fired shots at the door and threw hand grenades. but the synagogue solid wooden door withstood the attack saving the lives of those inside.

among them was macspeech. chairman of hull is jewish community the experience has left him traumatized. never had a problem with the fireworks on new year's eve in the past but i noticed this year that they make me feel a bit i wouldn't say they make me nervous but i really don't feel comfortable i sociate them with the attack. when they attack or failed to enter the synagogue he shot a woman walking by who had spoken to him he then storm to a snack bar and opened fire killing a customer the gunmen filmed everything on his own helmet camera streaming the attack live on the internet. a sign in the window commemorates the 2 people who were killed. 9 months later the trial of the alleged perpetrator began.

the 28 year old confessed expressing his extreme right wing views he showed no remorse. max play wachowski has twice found paper swastikas left in front of the jewish community office once he saw a police officer surreptitiously removing a swastika he finds this unsettling. i can't feel completely sure the police or security authorities are safe. and that's bad. politicians in holland and throughout germany stress that combat ing anti semitism is their highest priority all the same very few jews in holland dare to show their religious affiliation in public. the synagogue door which saved their lives has been replaced with

a new one that is even stronger. here's a quick reminder of the top stories we're following for you countries around the world have imposed travel bans on the u.k. that's as britain battles a new strain of coronavirus that's set to be much more contagious the measures are causing havoc as airports and other travel hubs in the u.k. which is now effectively cut off from continental europe. and british and e.u. negotiators are pressing ahead in search of compromise after missing another deadline for forging a post breck's a trade pact the european parliament had hoped to have a deal done by midnight on sunday disagreements over fishing rights are preventing a court. coming up next in v.w. news asia driven from their homes forced into camps now only on mars throw hinges are falling prey to human traffickers. and are a union against all odds are a hinge refugee manages to track down the family he thought was lost.

the parish found her she will have those stories and more for you after a short break i'll be back with more headlines at the top of the hour remember it you can always get updates on our web site t w dot com on the pulse really for me and the entire team here in berlin thanks for watching.

piece science fiction wouldn't it be if you could finally be ourselves. physicist anton's hollinger and his team have been researching the quantum world for years and they have experimental proof that teleportation actually works could this become a climate friendly mode of travel. tomorrow to do it. in 60 minutes on d w. has

a virus spread. why do we panic and when we'll all be. true just 3 of the topics covered and the weekly radio show is called spectrum if you like and information on the coronavirus or any other science topic you should really check out our podcast you can get it wherever you get your podcast you can also find us at. science. why are people forced to hide in trucks. there are many reasons. there are many cancers. and there are many stories.

make up your. maid for mines. this is deducted use a show coming up today the human trafficking tragedy facing an already prosecutes of people. hundreds of big smuggled in both destined for southeast asia but along the way they're facing teachings starvation and death what is being done to stop the people smugglers. but not all peoples fucking journey's end in tragedy we need . this fight tremendous.

i'm british welcome to do. glad you could join us hundreds of refugees in bangladesh are undertaking hazardous journeys by boat to escape overcrowded living conditions investment camps many paid people smugglers to escape to malaysia some make it many don't some even end up in indonesia after floating for months out in the open sea because no country will allow them entry. at least a 1000000. most escaped a brutal military crackdown. and now their latest attempts at finding a place to call home. they've been promised an excuse to a better life what they got was anything but. these images were filmed by one of

the traffickers he later abandoned the ship. a 19 year old survivor pocketed the phone a searing record of the abuse he too suffered. the rakhine sailors came on the attack with sticks and fan belts and started beating us indiscriminately one of the women went silent instantly but the man kept resisting the beat as mercilessly bruising had spreading of years breaking hence the wreak havoc on us. like many wanted to excuse the camphor malaysia was smugglers promised a bright future now he's back in his squalid home in a bangladesh refugee camp stuck with around a 1000000 others like him most of them had exclaimed a military crackdown in the end and 2017 which u.n.

investigators sat amounted to genocide they avoided dead but for many their new life is one of misery. really there they will hinge a camp a very overcrowded. because mother was hunting potential victims every day with a very different. it's a multimillion dollar trade and involves people from various sectors including fisherman who want a slice of the proceeds and even roger refugees themselves. some want to help families reunite. this is the husband of julie how bagel. she was told she would take less than a week to meet him in malaysia her failed journey turned into a nightmare. one day my 6 sister got into an argument with the smuggler when she was coming back from the

toilet and slapped him in the face. there's a good thing here that of it the smuggler beat my sick sister with a leather belt and. she bled to death. still stories like these aren't enough to scare off the desperate nearly 500 were injured muslims crossed over to malaysia this year about 400 others landed in neighboring indonesia but many more failed returning home with horror stories to tell or died at sea before the coup. rights watch he joins me now from bangkok still is a nasty thing done to prevent the smuggling of an persecuted people. well quite clearly not in fact these are syndicates that have been operating for a very long time with the primary to send to malaysia they have been changing

their tactics as needed depending on the sort of enforcement they see in places like thailand or malaysia but the bottom line is that rohingya are subjected to horrible conditions open boats with limited food and water exposed the elements highly unsanitary and facing beatings and sexual harassment from the men who are supposed to deliver them to a new country this kind of smuggling is not new fairly why isn't any action been taken well i think you have almost a game of whack a mole where you have various different crackdowns in some places and the traffickers pop up in another place the reality is that there's a great deal of desperation in the camps there are almost no opportunities for people there and they see the possibility of getting to malaysia as being the promised land and many families are willing to mortgage whatever money and

resources they have in the camps to try to get one person to malaysia who they expect will then be the person who will send back remittances and support the family into the future but michelle huntley appears to be the promised land when it comes to the actual practice of how the government is not accepting many of these people who arrive by boat in 5 to some of them are detained and others spend months out at sea some of them even ending up in indonesia what does that say about the response ability of missions like militia in indonesia. well malaysia should be accepting these people they should be bringing in the machine or they should be treating them as refugees and allowing them to undergo refugee status determination by the un refugee agency and actually before the last year or so that was what malaysia generally was doing the situation changed during the covert $1000.00 pandemic and also with a new government in malaysia that has frankly using

a phobia as a point of reference in terms of its covert 1000 response that you know. the government the movie in ga seen the prime minister basically did nothing as rohingya have been increasingly target in malaysia by various different hate speech campaigns and it's very sad that malaysia which used to be one of the champions for the rohingya has really fallen back so far so good back to bung others where most of these refugees begin their. journeys from these bunker those being able to manage nearly a 1000000 refugees singlehandedly bangladesh needs more support from the international community and it's not getting it that's a big problem there is a certain degree about donor fatigue that needs to be recognised everybody is appreciative of the fact that bangladesh received these people that they open the border and allowed them to come across but now bangladesh is increasingly taking

a very hostile position towards the rohingya in some cases are trying to voluntarily move people to what is a de facto prison island char you know they're trying to get the attention of the international community to focus pressure on the government in myanmar and i think that's a lot of bull goal but unfortunately they're using the road as a method to try to. get the international community to act and you know treating people badly to try to get more reaction from the international community is not the right way forward. speaking of passions out of this flood prone island refugees have already begun to be moved. do we have an initial reports as to how they're doing well there's over $1600.00 of them there now many of them were duped into going and told that they might be at the head of a resettlement queue or would have livelihoods there are a lot of people who are quite unhappy you know there's

a real lack of livelihoods there you know bangladesh has said that they're going to allow them to fish and farm on that island but. actual ground water is too salty for planting and the fishing they're not allowing these people to have their own boats because they would leave so it's essentially become a de facto prison island and that's that's a major problem people are unhappy and people have protested and they've faced reprisals so that for robinson thank you very much for joining us on this some though the journey across the bay of bengal on the andaman sea can end in tragedy but many are able to survive like the family name. it was he had to name a shell held a funeral ceremony for his wife and daughter they left bangladesh in a rickety boat to join him in malaysia where he was working. but then he heard nothing from them. and yet i think. when i went to malaysia i used to

save parts of my salary i sent money to my family every month my wife saved the money to pay for the bug she arranged the trip by herself and she did it without discussing it with me he'd given them up to date but then a miracle. i saw on the news videos on the internet with about 100 ringing i landed here on a boat. someone pointed out my wife and daughter to me in the images. namaz wife image uma he's here with the people who left holding his 6 year old daughter. well what they got out of this is when i saw them i called my mother and my wife's mother and told them they were alive. that was the happiest day of my life. the boat carrying almost $100.00 range of refugees from camps in bangladesh was told to indonesia's some archer island by locals very very the refugees said they

spent 4 horrific months of sea surviving on rice nuts and rainwater and that at least one person died. during her era. from malaysia shell was able to speak with his wife by phone he quit his construction job and made his way illegally by bike to indonesia. there he snuck into the refugee camp and found his family. i was only hoping to be happy and thinking about when i can live together with my husband again. thank god he came here i'm happy we're here together now. but despite that stroke of fortune conditions in the camp a tough. they only have the small space to call their own.

sometimes they buy not so small extras from local market sellers to supplement the food they give them. and though i'm very happy to meet my husband here but i feel sorry for my daughter when she wants to eat something and we can't give her anything because my husband has no income or go the lives of no ma and the junior and their daughter are governed by the rhythms of the camp but also by economic forces and immigration rules over which they have no control. but now they are living hand in hand one day at a time. and that's up there there's of course more on did i. really do with the 2 latest members of the sesame street gang nord and i was easy other sesame workshop 1st rohingya it's made especially for the kids living in the refugee camps we're back tomorrow with.

the fight against the coronavirus 10 democrats. who has the rate of infection in developing what does the latest research say. information and contacts the coronavirus not day 19 special. on t w. i was here when i arrived here i slept with 6 people in a room. it was hardest for there. i even got white hair. the

german language head nodding off just gets me and create a budget uniquely to interact let's say you want to know their story could spur fighting and reliable information for migrants. the stress of the coronavirus pandemic is taking its toll on all of us. there's the ever present fear that you or a loved one could catch the virus. on top of the strain of having to work and learn from home. with normal ways of relaxing and socializing on hold for now scientists are starting to study the emotional impact the pandemic is having on people everywhere from the oldest to the youngest.

is there. one. life that. 1 may see even if. they. want. to and perhaps can't fully comprehend the unusual strain that this pandemic is placing upon them is not normal times for anyone and the impact is being felt strongly by those who would normally need the most help the elderly or among. among them you 3 friends have met up to play cards in leipzig germany they are between 70 and one over 90 years old they all still live in their own homes they regularly to

exercise classes together and made up in a restaurant on sundays so how do they feel about the contact restrictions. i don't want to take any risks i prefer to follow the recommendations i want take any risks and this is not. of course this is stressful because you become really isolated and very alone. and you need a bit more as at least i personally need a little bit more company just nursing homes have had restrictions for a long time visits are now limited to half an hour each day one of this home's residence is lucy a little she is 99 years old has 4 children and she's a grand and great grandmother they mention still and really go to sleep humans are meant to be social you can have a good life when you have closeness when you can hug things that aren't possible

now. and how think you have to think in the end i don't dare to shake hands with the children that's not what you're supposed to do and that's the hardest part the . man has experienced a lot in her life as scape from war illnesses and great upheaval so you know the lesson all we can do is stay calm and accept whatever comes our way and the impact of wind through. the only thing we can influence that is by being considerate to each other. the impact of the coronavirus on the mental health of people of all ages is something that's being studied very closely we can all speak to professor christoph corral from the sherry tate medical school here in berlin he's conducting a major international survey called the collaborative outcomes study on health and functioning during infection times or co fit for short and i think we need a short version of that thank you very much for joining us professor i mean what's

the aim of your study. yes when a cool fit actually cooled it hits the world as we were stunned by it myself and marcos only did cool v.i.i. and we thought we need to do something to learn from it and feel fortified so the idea is to state and be fit cool fits during the cool bit pandemic and of the next trying to understand who are the people who are at highest risk of having poor outcomes from it and one are coping strategies to actually do well during the pandemic so that we could learn from and do from individuals for individuals but also do something like that in space governance that's politicians and society could learn from what kind of strategies to deal with pandemic health both physical and mental wellbeing or actually make it worse so what sort of thing you're asking people. so are asking many things it's a long survey that's

a little bit of weakness about 30 minutes for of adults and of lessons and about 15 to 20 minutes for all children age 6 to 13 we're asking them obviously where they live how they live where they know someone who is infected or they've been infected themselves if they're in karm teen right now or not but also do they have a physical or mental illness already and what is the help seeking behavior during the condemning out they getting the medication or they can have a meet and then we are asked symptoms looking at not full validated scales but we drew out single questions to b.s. trans diagnostic as possible having as many mental domains and physical domains we want to cover and then we already saw that having drawn out just a couple of questions always on 0 to $10.00 how much you feel it is true knowledge that you're anxious lonely or stressed angry and how it was that the 2 weeks

before the pandemic hit in order to see a change and then we also ask about coping strategies what works the best and then we want to see people who do well what kind of coping strategies they use versus those that don't so that we can actually recommend certain strategies to people who may not use them appropriately they're already set in theories on the impacts that their pandemics been having on mental health all the specific ideas that are trying to either challenge all or prove with this. so i mean we're looking both at no modifiable risk factors which are basically socceroo definitions and modifiable risk factors so can we do something that we want to change so for example. how much people go outside how much they are in contact with other us is it just personal contact or what about also online contact that is already pretty good but what

about telemedicine that supplements for in person visits and can still maintain well being so where we're testing a couple of also resilience factors it doesn't resilience change over time or is it something that you're born with into the endemic what about altruism and altruistic behavior change and they have by also improve outcomes these are all some of the questions we're asking with in looking on the program and specifically the impacts for young people and older people are there specific groups that you are expecting to see the pandemic having a lot to impact on. yes all we're looking at 1st of all this is an anonymous for the general population but we're very interested in subgroups migrants pregnant women women in general the young the very old the people who live alone from plant health care workers all of these will be examined we cardiff 110000 people across

the world 147 countries 6 continents to participate we need more people to understand it better but what we've learned already is that women seem to be at the brunt they have more stress more angry and they also feel somewhat more lonely than males and particularly it seems those that have to do triple time skiing there are running the household but they have to do home schooling and maybe also do a home office kind of work and it seems that they are much more affected all the more open and honest about it because also more women participated in the survey saw will be interesting to see which groups to turn out to be the greater effective professor christoph corral from the shire to medical school and the co fit study thanks for joining us thanks for having me and you can take part in the survey by

visiting co fit dot com they want people from all over the world and it's available in lots of different languages and you can help create a better understanding of the human impact of covered 19. now is the part of the program where we put one of your questions submitted through how you cheat channel to our science correspondent derrick williams. i would like to know why the pfizer vaccine needs to be kept so very cold especially since it presumably has to be warmed up prior to administer a sion to answer this i 1st have to go over a few basics of cell biology the vaccine developed by a bio on tech and pfizer is what's known as a messenger r.n.a. or m r n a vaccine m r n a is a chain like a molecule that fulfills a very important function and cells that it contains codes to make proteins and it

acts as a messenger between a cells control center and its protein building machinery as hence the name but the protein this particular m r n a vaccine it codes for isn't a human one it's a protein that's made by the corona virus and when the m.r. n a is injected it causes your cells to begin making that viral protein and that provokes an immune response just as if you caught coke at 19 sending in the pretty simple quick to produce a code molecules to make these these complicated proteins and getting the body to do all of the work of producing them this business elegant solution to a complex problem but of course it can't be all easy we've been trying to produce these kinds of vaccines for decades now and one of the major hurdles has been keeping the m.r.i. in a stable long enough for it to accomplish its task after all messenger r.n.a.

isn't built to last in the cell that's supposed to break down again after it's proteins have been produced not hang around because that would cause all kinds of problems so lots of the research in the field involves keeping this pretty fragile molecule stable and one way to do that is to code it in a in a specially designed molecular envelope and then and. and freeze it at all to a low temperatures of when he thought back out again the more n a begins to degrade but not instantly the best description i've heard of the process compared these vaccines 2 to chocolate covered ice cream bars with with the coating hoping to retain the integrity of the ice cream to some extent even as it slowly melts pfizer and by on tag say that there vaccine if refrigerated remains stable for up to 2 about 5 days after thawing and maternal which which

makes the other m.r. and a vaccine candidate that's making headlines at the moment it says that it's those is have a refrigerated shelf life of up to 30 days. so for must stay healthy. for. me on the phone.
