surprised himself with what. he. told people who follow along the way. how is the world. this is. coming up today. for the world's 2nd largest. medical. 3. months. everyone on the front lines and find a vaccine. and a plan to revive. the. 10 year ban on fishing back.

i'm british welcome to. glad you could join us india could begin about as vaccinations for its people from january of next year the government says it's hoping to knock around 300000000 people by august that's roughly the population of the united states to be vaccinated within 8 months india has yet to approve any vaccine though that least 3 candidates in the fray and based on available guidance elderly persons and health care workers would be 1st in queue but whether that covers people such as under 3 featured in our next report is as yet. 21 year old has not taken a single day off from work in over 5 months now. he says he loves what he does

but he had never thought it would put him on the frontline of fighting a pandemic one day. a new publisher lap technician working in a private by policy in dealing with his main job is to conduct tests. to determine whether someone is. every day he was it's how does a potentially infected people to collect this. and he understands that every day. so much risk of getting infected himself. in the beginning when i started doing this test i used to be quite scared. there was a lot of fear but then slowly i got used to this if i let fear take over. i think. now i'm going to the modern thing i have to take care of is that i should not get infected and if i am infected i should not transmit to anyone and that is

why the whole process involves proper sanitation from start to finish. on evolvers one of the thousands of frontline health workers in delhi struggling to control the spread of the writers. as india work towards developing the covered $1000.00 vaccine these has workers are likely to receive it on a friday basis as they are as a higher risk of contracting the widest due to regular exposure. did governments are preparing lists of people across the country identifying the health workers who will be the 1st ones to get the. an above says he's not sure when he will get the vaccine at least to take months to come. so he has to ensure that he protects himself with at all time. technicians like me get the vaccine we will be less worried by doing our job. it will also help us keep our family safe rather than on

above understands the importance of as he says he is more to weighted by his desire to do his bit to help to deal with the pandemic writing of my you man one gets quite dieting i start my day at 8 in the morning and the world goes on to meet i don't even get the time to have a sip of want on sundays as i have back to back sample collections i have been suffering from dehydration for the past 3 months because of that but then if you don't work regularly boards and the need for. and if the patients won't get dead people could hold it in stand. on a vote on his timely horbury levy a vaccine so he says he knows he may be carrying out these tests for a long time to come. let's bring in he's a researcher in bioethics and global health policy and has been following india's vaccine development plans closely he joins me from the pope in india dr bond welcome now the indian government says vaccinations could begin as early as january

next year but india has yet to approve of the vaccine what does that happen so i think i want to be. companies have put in applications but they have been told that they need to come back more beat up it's likely that this will be an ongoing process the fact that many other dictators and countries have started to believe maxine is going to be a factor but it's also the case that you don't actually like eyes that are more than more difficult than the law just because i mean does it cost that you know black seeds which are easier to use that would be due to it is storage have a higher reference but we don't believe that it did make the final decision and then it would be i don't know what is this father government has said that health care and frontline barker's will be among the 1st to be vaccinated now does that include people who work outside of hospitals as well as such as in diagnostic labs all funeral homes for example. yes that i would tend to think that that would be an

independent a lot of this is left at the state of provincial level to decide things have been given about health workers being 1st and then frontline workers and all of these individuals given that is that asked of transmission especially by virtue of the book that they do certainly qualify and i think it would be certainly the case that they would be deluded and this is up to also the states to ensure when they do that industry or as part of the friday's asian existence a crucial question though is that once of vaccine does become available once it has been approved by the indian government we people have to go through the government and through government vaccination centers all will be able to get themselves vaccinated privately as well. yes so the companies seem to be certainly interested in the private market as you know we have a mixed health system in india every also have huge magick lost and upper class which would be just related by accident if they were to be able to foresee it i

think those question is going to be one of equally if you have a prior to an exercise in the garment sector and you have to go through that channel and wait for your done ok to actually skip that queue by going to a private market and getting a vaccine and i think that's an equally sure which the government will never teach will be what i live in for private cd there might also be the case that there might be some vaccines which are only a way to build in the private market because they're not something which can be degraded into the government program given cost and logistics concerns but i guess they don't wait for our missions to come to somebody who looked at and then companies are decided and garments to allow for the. based on what the government is saying dr van government wants to vaccinate roughly 300000000 people by august next year i'm wondering if that means that from september 2021 roughly the pandemic will be manageable over in india. yeah that one would hope so

but i guess we all know from private experience over the last many months that you know the vaccine and the pandemic is a bit unpredictable vaccination is one important component of that is spawns but it's also going to be a fact of if we are seeing a 2nd wave of any kind what is the kind of distribution of our vaccine and also if there is any kind of mutation which is a cause for concern etc so it's likely that the vaccination will be an active part of that is sponsored and going into the next few months hopefully that would help it would. you know any kind of besides of the disease with the last few weeks we have seen a decline in the number of cases which i think getting treated and it's important for us to keep you know working to ensure that that continues there's every indication that it's going to be 2 shots of a vaccine that is going to be to quieten we're talking about $300000000.00 people to be vaccinated in 8 months enough those is going to be available.

yes so the government has announced that they outlined into. the maze for that number of those is and you know they have to find the finances for that we would also probably find out a little bit more in the forthcoming budget on how that financing is being organized but it seems to be the case that these for that the $100000000.00 population that is i don't think that the government is going to do it big active role in finding the funds to pay for those vaccines and then also ensuring that goes out and mr intruding into remote locations across india just one final question dr bond when these new vaccines whichever they may be even they be effective against new strains of the vitus such as the ones that are evident in the u.k. and south africa. yes a one would hope so i mean i think that's a concern but so far the indication is that the vaccine should hopefully be able to cover these streets we ought to have an actual experiment happening in the u.k. because you have obviously these new strains and also vaccines already i.e.

that in china contracts are already being administered at last so if there is a concern it should come through in the u.k. don't survive experiences they had over the next few weeks and that should flag issues i don't know if it gets the and street companies but that is also something that india would have to keep a close watch on this would you know excel winnings to about because i thought it strange that we are keeping track of those who were vaccinated and we got to see if you know if it is on bond thank you so much for speaking to us you know as of overfishing have taken their toll on china. longest waterway to the planet starts beijing is introduced a 10 year fishing ban starting next year that's forced many communities along the river to adept. at this river sides junkyards what could be a kaleidoscope of fortunes mate and last these fishing boats once roamed the coastline of the young the river in

if you think a 12 year old german girl would be intimidated acting alongside a hollywood legend well then you don't know. even the 2 time oscar winner was impressed by this rising star from berlin. i cannot stress enough. the incredible power of a young girl on those scenes with it with the 2 of us that those those those crackled they were they were ridiculous fun in order in order to shoot singles crackle and energy threaten to explode in system pressure her breakthrough film. she plays benny the girl traumatized and out of control. zone and it's nice. but it's the quiet scenes like those in the news of the world

but the young actress finds most challenging. so she likes them. i think the most difficult scene was really the last the very last scene i won't give any spoilers but i can say captain kidd and your han a both have to cry and it wasn't so easy because when they say now close up on her lena and i knew i had to show all my emotions that now's my chance and then zoe now calls out of hell right now and then dies ok so yes it was undermining the inside is yet another director paul greengrass cast saying of 5 minutes after meeting her you could see she burned. and all of a great and it's like a calling is just the choice it's just. too though she's got the real deal. and natural talent single can jump in and out of character on command. didn't miss you notice when they say action it's like you flip

britain including breaks it which the artists see as a tragedy. they also take a stance in their works against british imperialism which many britons still viewed positively. almost never forgotten history is about the darker side of empire where you really see that it was very much built on the blood. of the countries that. came to over it's something that's not really explored as really fascinating 1st to see how there are parallels even with what happened during the time of the. day. the sing twins' latest series slaves of fashion encompasses more than 2 dozen paintings the works are the result of deep research into india's textile history of colonialism and slavery the result is a highly political take on the dark side of fashion.
