welcome to the program $1000.00 vaccinations have begun across the european union leaders and public health officials around the block are hailing the day as one that will go down in history they see it as the path out of the pandemic that's up end of life for most of 2020 and killed more than 400000 people all across europe at the same time they caution that the virus isn't going anywhere just yet as relatively few doses are available to start with. celebration as spain vaccinates its 1st person against the coronavirus is a moment of hope in one of the countries hardest hit by the pandemic. in italy

medical staff were the 1st to give a job their country to ravaged by the 1st wave of the virus. autocar the one man having been on the front line since the beginning of the pandemic i have felt with my hands and seen with my eyes how difficult it is to fight this fire. it has been painful to witness the defeats this virus has caused moderate today as an important and decisive day that that this is the war. can be checked with public prime minister and jay bobbish led the way and he was followed by a world war 2 veteran who took it all in her stride. it pricked a little that was all. of her. while in sweden the 1st was a 91 year old retirement home resident. supply of a vaccine is limited but demand is huge we've mostly you can she's receiving an

initial batch of new move in 10000 doses each member state is prioritizing who gets . his applies are expected in the new year but officials warn of is a long way to go before everyone can be vaccinated. here in germany the immunization campaign is of course under way as well vaccines are in limited supply the government has therefore prioritized who gets the 1st jobs so those in the highest part of priority such as people over 80 as well as residents and staff of care homes also frontline medical personnel such as those working in i.c.u. use and emergency services they'll get the 1st jabs and those who have contact with high risk patients now after that we have the next level of priority people over the age of 70 doctors and medical staff who have regular contact with patients as well as those people with mental disabilities and certain professions with high

risk exposure are also in this group then we have people who are over 60 people have certain conditions and certain kinds of jobs they'll get it next everyone else the general population are going to have to wait based on vaccine availability german health officials have said they hope that's going to be by summer which means pandemic restrictions are likely to remain in place until at least then and let's have a look at just how germany's covert 19 vaccinations have rolled out across the country. the mayor of hamburg personally drops by for the coronavirus vaccinations at the holy ghost senior care facility patients and health care staff are the 1st in the port city to get the vaccine the shots are administered in a newly set up the x. a nation center. thaksin nations are also underway further south in hassen like here for staff members of frankfurt's university germany wants to make sure that as many people as possible get the vaccine as fast as possible. if you call can i know

you need to reach a herd immunity by achieving a vaccination threshold of about 60 to 70 percent that would mean more than 100000000 occupations in germany getting vaccinated is our only way to end the pandemic berlin's health senator here visiting the 1st care home in the city offering vaccinations each of the city's mobile units can inoculate about 50 people a day almost all residents here wanted the vaccine my hope is does he hope we'll have high vaccination quotas in all care facilities like we're seeing today. 93 percent shows a high willingness to get vaccinated doctors and management here of laid the groundwork explaining it and preparing people 60 vaccination teams are underway in berlin by the end of february most of the residents at care facilities should be inoculated oh let's get more of on this vaccination rollout with dr going to show

from berlin he's the deputy director of the institute of allergy at shari today welcome to the program 1st of all what do you make of the vaccination plan which is starting with the oldest in the population and their caregivers. it makes total sense to me because those people most at the highest risk of suffering from severe covert 19 vaccinated. over 8 years and also this test is going to be vaccinated to test to care for those people so it makes sense to me. now as my as i understand it the vaccine looks to be very effective protecting the person vaccinated it's still to be seen how well it works in terms of preventing the spread so how and when will we know just what role the vaccine is playing in in limiting and shrinking the pandemic

to play a very important role that is for sure and every person that is vaccinated comes but we still don't know at the moment whether we can reach so-called immunity with those vaccines available no that means you don't know those people that are vaccinated are unable to pass on the bars to other people that would be very important but we may know that maybe. next year. should still obeyed to the rules that are telling us to keep distance to up to people to wear masks and. to be. very important point the test to be made at this time also and based on what you're

seeing at your institue when it comes to this virus what can we expect to see in the new year. so it take some time that. considerable percentage of the population is vaccinated so we have let's say $10000000.00 doses at the end of march and in august maybe next year we will have. vaccine doses for everybody so it will take some time that the vaccination program has some impact on the virus spread that is an important point so we might suffer from a ration in the next year and still everybody who still half to. mention before to keep the keyboard to obey to the rules that mean social distancing is still very important and very important is also to wear masks to

prevent the virus from spreading and we had also to keep an eye. that we have observed in the last weeks. i said keeping our masks on our fingers crossed that our thumbs pressed dr scheiner which at charité thank you very much. you're welcome now let's turn to some other stories making headlines right now. hundreds of british tourists have fled coronavirus quarantine in the east swiss ski resort of their v.a. they were vacationing there when the government demanded they self isolate following the discovery of a new variant of the virus in the united kingdom with no flights between switzerland and the u.k. it's not clear where they vacationers wins. 10 people are dead in iran after avalanches hit a mountain range north of the capital tehran rescue teams are searching for

difficult decisions i've ever had to take it was not an unexpected decision from the very beginning it was clear that leap infrastructure was mean for summer winter conditions and was going to be unsuitable for that we are it was an al security source about european union increase who is funding your racial account that's the funding would be in that but the 30th of november and we didn't inform the authorities that the camp would have to be closed to reason why we will be at the draw was because the conditions were not all were safe if i were him and his partners run a camp we are essentially guaranteeing might instead have a safe stay wheat access to any difference he says in that location we could no longer guaranteed and we postponed the deadline for closing a number of this because we were working and hoping that it would be a last minute political deal to provide at least a temporary solution for the migrants. when that failed to materialize

we announced to the migrants the night before that the day after because they had been kept informed of course the whole time of what's in the dossier negotiate since where and what possible solutions there where 6700 migrants had already lifts were sent in front few as we believe disgruntled residents of the can put the tents on fire and then everyone of course stormed out of the county. later in the day then 1400 migrants and refugees out relief to walk to horse the city closest. to where number of police barricades along different roads and about 400 of them managed to somehow get through and joined owners that were already living in abandoned buildings in sports and makeshift camps in forests in and around. yes the 2 cities council and the wrist was brought back by the police to look

euros but 1st it needs to improve the whereas in office still we are let's you travel to places that were impossible to visit before for example world famous construction site unique images from inside the not cathedral in paris after it was devastated by a fire in 21000 new structures and a high lead concentration in the air made accessing the interior extremely dangerous for humans which is why a 360 degree camera robot is taking over the images it captures can be reviewed with p.r. goggles. we used to this robot to get right to the center of the cathedral right under the gaping hole we wouldn't have managed to without the robot but the camera got lucky when i stood in the ruins i was unable to stand under that hole but now i can thanks to.

just a few weeks before the fire filmmakers close for you and victor i do know i had finished shooting a 3 d. documentary on the world famous church. almost after the fire we realized we had captured a moment of not a dime's history that we could now give back to the public. by combining film material from before the fire with new images recording the damage the fire had caused the 2 filmmakers have now produced a 2nd documentary rebuilding the dam accompanies the reconstruction of the famous church. it is one of a kind depictions of the cathedrals damaged interior else's most of these images are extraordinary they were filmed in virtual reality so in 360 degrees with a very high definition and in 3 d. that creates a separate image for the left and right eye each makes you feel like you're really is there. so it's

a. virtual reality goggles let you independently explore the cathedral in this 16 minute long film censorious enable you to navigate through the building freely using your own body movements but the experience is strictly limited to be are in the real world that's what i'm is currently still closed to visitors giving users the feeling of being in the midst of it all that's the goal for virtual reality and the more senses come into use the more real the experience will seem. we've had a look at the installation which offers a unique acoustic experience listening to music just the way it sounded when composer your hands about headed perform in the 18th century. the chapel it's. a mystical place for book fans around the world burned down 774 this painting was all that was left of it. now it's been rebuilt in virtual reality.

principle the architecture and sound composition were kept a space full to the original as possible. as demons that bird chapel is almost like atlantis kind of like a sunken place of longing for a box for years i dreamt of recreating the hell most birds so others could experience and that dream has finally come true about some of. those performed on historic instruments in an echo free room at the technical university. that the sound could later be adjusted to fit the chapels accused of the work and sounds just like it did in past times. we all can make dreams come true. i've always wanted to be a crocodile for instance. what's it like to be a cayman gliding down the amazon river. for

a tree frog hopping from limb to limb. in this virtual reality installation participants can take on the life of 5 different animals. living below my favorite animal is the vampire bat it's so cuddly and i love the way it's experience has been recreated you get to fly through the rain forest by night and with the bats night vision it's simply amazing. you know clue guy and her team at the interactive media foundation company in berlin designed this v.a.r. installation be recreated $400.00 hectares of brazil's to local market national park in the amazon rain forest the whole project took over a year 7500 plants alone had to be individually drawn and programmed the installation is now touring museums around the world. and with the knowledge

we wanted to create an emotional experience that you can delve right into we want to viewers to enjoy themselves and become interested in the animals in the way they experience the world and i must say it's working we've had lots of people asking us is it really true that the poison dart frog sees those crazy colors that don't how did you find that out or where can we learn more. before. far. passing our knowledge with virtual reality works especially well when the experience is as impressive as flying over the rain forest. what is on offer is getting more and more spectacular even if there's still room for improvement i think there's work to be done on graphics and resolution the greatest challenge for the industry will be to make the goggles lighter and more mobile this

thing here for example is just a bit too bulky even for me i suppose of the industry say so this will be a thing of the past. in the near future we won't have these anymore and instead we'll have real glasses that look like the glasses we know now fashionable accessories but with lenses that either stay transparent and display additional information or ones that can darken your vision completely and show something else in a closed off space. i'm curious to see what will happen what are your experiences with what devices. do you use and what do you still want to experience in virtual reality that is not on your facebook or d.w. dot com that's it from me they care and so yours will.
