story we're following for you british prime minister boris johnson signed off on the brakes a trade deal between the european union and the united kingdom team's top officials had put their signatures on the 12 page agreement earlier in brussels. coming up after the break our covert special that i'll be back with more games at the top of the hour for always get the latest at u.w. dot com or follow us on twitter at c w news i waver cruft thanks very much for watching. the fight against the corona virus 10 damage. has the rate of infection been developing what does the latest research say. information and context the

coronavirus update. on t w. passion drama competition marketing numbers atmosphere color by at time intuition love hate money. fans friends 5 stamps and 5 whole books to go on you tube join us. using a u.v. lamp to kill the coronavirus that's just one light bulb moment in a multitude of responses to prove that 19th saloon was repurposed and hand sanitizer at the beginning of the pandemic the speed of innovation amid coronavirus could be a game changer experts say in. could revolutionize global health care allowing us

to come up with solutions that could change health care delivery. they say necessity is the mother of invention the coronavirus pandemic has thrown that into stark relief from innovations enabling us to live with the realities of the virus to devices that make it say to action possible here's the story of 2 entrepreneurs who say a diagnosis is just a breath away. rather than christoph and thomas wolfe have a vision they want to return some normality to this called in 1000 times for months have been working on a breath test that can identify the novel coronavirus they're now confident it works. from a technical point of view this device can get to areas where normally only a dog can sniff things out. a device that's almost as sensitive as a dog's noles the technique is similar to a breathalyzer. this is

a stimulus when what we have here is a sterile mouthpiece. and you take off the packaging and then what happens if you blow into the mouthpiece and you just breathe. in there start up the brothers develop highly sensitive sensor technology from aspect troll meters industry and labs for a new type of diagnosis in real time. and we can see all sorts of things using breath analysis like whether a patient had coffee yesterday afternoon or not we can identify his nutritional status we can see different amino acids different fatty acids all of this from the breath breath as a direct window into the human body. the brothers believe it could recognize carbon 19 other researchers also say breath analysis could work in principle to test for the corona virus. the challenge is to is to get the. methods that you run on the equipment the way the equipment is used to chew on

and the analytical technique of mice with verified biomarkers are reliable. once we've proven that then you have a corrupted 19 breath test ready to go conventional swap tests are reliable but often only carried out when the infection has been there for a while and a result usually takes 2 days the breath test detects metabolic changes in breathing caused by the virus while it is not yet 100 percent reliable it does give an immediate result. the researchers believe that they will be able to deploy the tests as early as next summer in places like football stadiums. passengers could also be tested at airports before check in the accuracy of the test is currently around 80 percent however the researchers are expecting efficiency to increase significantly in the meantime

a lot of detailed work remains to be done. people are complicated and you're looking for a small signal in a snowstorm a blizzard of information. but we've we've found we've found the signals we think are helpful young christophe and thomas both originally developed their test for very different types of bad gnosis one problem with a covered 900 test is that they have not yet been able to carry out studies on patients with the virus they are hoping for to consider access to the processors access to resources to allow us to carry out a validation study on the site in a hospital or an airport test center and with that it becomes very easy to determine whether this would be a way to bring back some normality to people's. analyzers could be a way to detect cov in 1000 infections much faster than before. matthew harris joins us now he's a clinical senior lecturer and public health at the imperial college london matthew

so glad you can join us now you've written and the scientific journal nature about how the response occulted 19 has been distinguished by so called frugal in a sense what exactly does that mean well thank you through litigation really is the term that we give to the kind of innovation we see in the resource constraints situations of extraordinary time pressure or situations where we don't have the kind of resources that we normally like to have when we where we develop health care innovations of the world frugal often times is referred to as sort of cheap or good enough innovation that actually frugal innovation is health care to patients that's actually as effective as the kind of innovation you would normally see but just in a way that is far more affordable far more sustainable maybe if you are sort of complexity or functionality but that gets the job and undercoat it of course we've

seen around the world some extraordinary difficult situations at national level in terms of exposing the fragilities in our health care systems but also the real increase in healthcare demands and it really has necessitated a new type of innovating innovating a pace rapidly using resources that we just find around us so kind of improvising if you are. this is the kind of innovation that we call through innovation so it's about reacting quickly using what you have but to have any examples of what a frugal innovation could be. well absolutely in the early days of the covert response we saw insincerity elop in countries and really interesting examples of rule innovations so for example where there was a lack of personal protective equipment we saw a clinician's improvised the use of simple acetate sheets the kind of such as a sheet that you'd use for overhead projectors in the old days and by simply

putting some holes in either side of the s.t.a. sheeting threading some ribbon on either side those became very effective face vices to protect not only the clinicians but also the patients in front of them when they were interfacing and this was of course extremely cheap and actually very very effective since then baseball is a vote to become more sophisticated but it was a very good example of a frugal innovation at a time another good example of innovating at a pace was the construction of hospitals and on the 10 days in china actually eventually also in the u.k. where i'm from we saw the construction or repurchasing at least of conference center has ensued into intensive care units and hospitals also in very very short amount of time as a sort of idea of repurchasing the resources you have but also very very quickly the characteristic of really innovation now that the crisis has focused minds and

mobilize so much in terms of responses as you've told us there is also kind of dying down side to this kind of concentration of response to the crisis. well i think the pope it obviously has recorded a deviation of resources from other health care to focus our attention on covert response and as a result some other areas have have if you like suffered in terms of research going into the and also the health care delivery the different clinical conditions i don't think there's a downside to frugal innovation and i think it's been a really revealing how we've been able to develop such effective health care responses in a short period of time. without spending on safety checks or effectiveness or clinical effectiveness for the patients that we serve so i don't see a downside to through innovation which tends to be far more fordable the health

care systems as long as the necessary checks and balances are in place to ensure the safety of those devices or technologies you've written that this kind of innovation could lead to a leveling and global health care equality what does that look like. what is the level in the sense that it has made us really reflect on the fragilities in the health systems even in the high income countries settings and it's made us pay much more attention to the kind of innovations that arise from the low income countries it's something we've been up the pace in for many years and what code is doing is making us pay more attention to settings that traditionally we haven't really noticed in terms of healthcare innovation thank you matthew harris there talking about putting human resource lowness at the center of our cove in 1000 response is a clinical senior lecturer and public health at imperial college london thank you for your insights. and now it's time for one of your son and questions about the coronavirus our science correspondent derek williams is ready with an answer.

taking into account to patients sex and age what do the statistics say about complications. one of the clearest pieces of information that's come out of the statistics is that from the age of about 40 on women in general are a lot less likely than men to have severe outcomes data from both the c.d.c. and the european center for disease prevention and control a reveal how stark the difference is this graphic for example emphasizes how much more likely men of a certain age are to end up in the hospital or the i.c.u. numbers of men are represented by the blue bar and a numbers of women by the red one in europe men between 40 and 80 make up around 3 quarters of all intensive care cases and recorded deaths after 80 the split is more

even but that's almost certainly due to the simple fact that a lot fewer men lived at that age so statistically the chances are a lot higher that in the over eighty's a woman is going to get coke at 19 been a man is going to get it there's a lot of speculation about why and there and there doesn't seem to be a single reason that accounts for all of the discrepancy i'm several factors are likely playing roles we know though that people who have diabetes or high blood pressure or heart disease are at greater risk of severe outcomes if they contract at 19 and aging men are more likely to have those co-morbidities than aging women are but another possible contributing factor involves immune response the male and female immune systems are. different experts say because on their 2nd x. chromosome women have another copy of many of the genes that are involved in

fighting off disease it's been theorized that's also why women are more likely to develop certain auto immune diseases than men but in this case it could be helping them keep covert 19 or it's medical ramifications more effectively it back that's hard to prove though. and that's all from us thank you very much for watching and stay safe. conflicts if you don't hear a lot about truth in your feast days but for more than 2 months follow gary compulsed financial corruption and see government demonstrations my guest this week from sofia is the need for such a but minister and social policy why does she continue to southern the go to speech

in its most vulnerable people they should have its human rights organizations cliques. to own. or not to well. what about assuring the economy instead. of. the change in thinking is changing the economy to create something that. the economics magazine maybe in germany. in 60 minutes w. in these difficult times this is especially important to us to wish you all. happy new year and the virus has come to some family and friends all here teasing your

long. during this holiday season we actually don't even want to tell you my dear when you. take the last. thing i want him this year when she was really here i mean you want to stalk me and i mean you everyone needs you and i'm going to see and how i am. and stacy. when is the government going to get the message and resign we're getting a lot of different messages from the protests is your government afraid of the truth we'll see being afraid of that. we do understand that there are a lot of problems you don't hear a lot about it in europe these days but for more than 2 months gary has been combust by anti corruption anti-government demonstrations for 7 years in a row it's on the dubious distinction of being the most corrupt country in the e.u.

my guest this week from sofia is the need for such of a minister of labor and social policy why does she continue to serve in a government that's mistreating its most vulnerable people in violation of its human rights of negations m why has it done so little to crack down on organized crime and the politicians who benefit from. it it's a structure about welcome to complex own we've seen more than 2 months of government protest sometimes violent when is the government going to get the message and resign. we are getting a lot of different messages from the protests but we are also getting messages from those that are not on the protest actually the protests started 2 months ago but

they combine that out if one of the messages some of the messages those messages that are for better judicial system or more justice and for fight against corruption is the messages that we hear and we do want to pursue in our politics whether from the opinion polls this is pretty clear 70 percent distrust the government and the personal confidence rating of the prime minister has dropped to just 20 percent the lowest rate in years so the crowds are telling you they don't want you they don't want your new draft constitution they want immediate elections so why not give them to the crowd because there are not more than a 6000 people on the street and there are more than 1000000 people who have voted for this government and also the regular elections that just shake your 6 months from today people don't want to wait for that they've seen enough corruption

they've seen enough brutality on the streets now the violence has been condemned as widely excessive violence by the police including by your own president truman rather he accused your government of actually directing and triggering the violence didn't he at least on one occasion. i wouldn't agree with your strong words about violence because i can i can tell you that there are more than 80 people eastment that are actually now you must be hell and that can't be against them there's been a lot of violence on behalf of the public and what when we are talking about that all of the president it's really very interesting that actually it's the president that is the the one that must be a king about unity and must be opening alak and on the contrary is actually fueling the violence and he's giving spirit of hatred that's that's quite an accusation to level against your president but it's not shared by the council of europe in

particular the. commissioner for human rights doña me out of it she talked about numerous reports of police violence against journalists covering the demonstrations several were reportedly beaten up and pepper sprayed when right police clashed with demonstrators violence against germany she said especially at the hands of state agents is contrary to state's duty to up hold press freedom and to protect the safety of journalists it's pretty sad when you have to be reminded of that isn't that it's pretty set but at the same moment you are a person that is your word for factual television and for factual journalism and i can tell you the fact i'm not actually supporting the strong statements as i told you all right now there were more than 80 police people that are in hospital and be out of very serious violence they were also yellow also on the streets from the plot the sounds there were coffins that were being dealt and

a number of other. access to that is that have been we have been witnessing on the streets so the council of america doesn't know what he's talking about and your own president doesn't know what he's talking about and you have a veto of the euro zone when i try minister so this is not into his head and isn't it you have a dead end here. it's not that then but the objective it is insist that we also see everything which is on the street not only what is what suits elk recission well president rather has long accused your prime minister of corruption and links with organized crime he's called on him to resign the government government the current government he says is morally finished and it's of the utmost importance that it's formally finished as well he's right isn't it what kind of system is this where the prime minister is pictured asleep in his official residence a gun beside his bed and a draw in his bedside table stuffed full of 500 euro notes what kind of government

is this what are your proofs that this this photograph that actually took what are the proofs of the president in this respect and is this what is to be reality of law just broadcast in picture is where the prime minister is not on one and the same picture with this that average that now it's a funeral and at the same time i think that if we if we're talking about democracy and if we're talking about superiority of law it's the court that must actually say whether it's true or not but we're coming to the courts in a minute but how helpful is it to the stability of bug area with the prime minister and the president at each other's throat both of them calling for the other one to resign the answer has to be that's not very good for the stability of your country is it. definitely this war between the institutions is not good for the stability but i want to again to to draw your attention to the facts and the facts are very clear 1st of all we have the country at the moment which has very low degrees of

the g.d.p. due to the corporate crisis it's 8.2 in comparison with other countries when it's at double figures we also have we have the in top 5 the number 7 employment and i can also point to that the race of the g.d.p. in the last 5 years is nearly double this is not possible in a country which is that we and any corruption it's not possible to see such figures if everything is so rooted then corrupt if you are trying now the conversation well i'm not the only one saying that because you know both prague area and the government you serve in have become by words for corruption internationally corruption mafia capture democratic backsliding and a politically manipulated and almost dysfunctional justice system i wonder why you continue to serve in a government which is so mired in scandal. because this is the government which doubled the teacher selling in the country this is the government which invested

2500000000 in only in the education system this is the government which preserved almost 300000 just place in the core if that is this is the government which that will that the g.d.p. in the last in the last years and also is the government that boston increases the incomes of the people that don't like him is not such about you're no longer black and white your your figures are extraordinary g.d.p. growth over the last 10 years has been around 50 percent in contrast to remain which joined on the same day as you the european union has registered an increase of more than 200 percent can you explain that you have the lowest average salary in the you with less than $690.00 euro's a month less than bosnia montenegro which aren't even in the e.u. and the european council on foreign relations says it's a sign you've made very poor use of e.u. cohesion funds why is that mismanagement and corruption or is a both. this is this is not true because the did not stellar in the country when we

started in the gun in the country was 250-5011 now list expanded and then 11 and when we are talking about the influence of the e.u. france actually decrease of the cell is due to the investment of the events is 8.2 percent for the period between $24020.00 point it is also important that the g.d.p. has increased its 7.7 percent the european finance investment it is once again because i am a minister of lebanese also policy want to measure the level of unemployment which would mean the whole thing or end now is 7.2 percent and you look at that european union france investment it is a lower with a 5.6 percent minister last year the us state department said that while you laws provided penalties for corrupt officials the government did not implement that law effectively officials in all branches of government reportedly gauged in corrupt

practices with impunity that means no consequences so the inescapable conclusion is that you allow this corruption because members of your government and criminals connected to it profiting by it day by day that's why the state department underlined multiple reports of government corruption and they included bribery conflict of interest elaborate embezzlement schemes procurement violations and influence trading this is full service corruption right across the spectrum of your government did you think the world would notice what was going on. i can tell you that in the last year or so the commission for fighting against corruption and confiscating of illegal aquatic property yes that damn the but it really mean that a precocious parole out of a 1000000000 lever and yes that means that more than $1000.00 different the checks and revisions of different officials on different levels including local and

national government there what hasn't got government official not a single senior government official or major crime bosses been indicted on corruption charges why is that then at the all court cases and then not finished yet but i can also point to that part of the felt this and i mean once again reminding but of the protests after by a person who is now trying to escape justice from bulgaria because of not bathe. in the country for more than 700000000 you know you keep telling me about what you've done on the subject of corruption but last year the center for the study of democracy in your own capital and sophia so the least 35 percent of public procurement contracts involve corrupt practices that's 35 percent more than a 3rd this is the kind of country that you've turned bug area into and you still think you should stay on in government transparency international regs your country as the most corrupt in the european union and has done for the last 7 years

consecutively why don't we call it then you don't need that in this respect then the statistic which they have that they have announced that for example 58 percent of the respondents in the area say that in the everyday life they didn't met that option and that actually according to europe or with that our country yes which 30 percent lower corruption rate then in comparison to 2017 well i don't know which you're a barometer you're looking at but the one last year said that 80 percent according to it 80 percent. i think that there is widespread corruption 78 percent think that the only way to succeed in business is to have political connections these are statistics that would shame any developing nation around the world let alone a member of the european union exactly the same europe amid the sense that 28 percent of the respondents say that they are actually seeing that action in the every day and 58 percent say that they have not been enough touch with that option

in their in their latin kitty well i don't know if that is you using i wonder if you actually listened to the views of the people out on the streets or are you just interested in digging around in your heels and hanging on to your government salaries to listen to what actually people are saying on the streets about you yes we do and that and as i don't know on the street there is no one united view and that is no one united group of people and indignation maybe a consul of the levy back in but they're different people with different motives they're those the young people the people that are actually looking for better judicial system and that one more vigorous i think that absent those voices we hear and we want to respond to them yet by showing us according to the u.s. state department you're not doing anything about it you're providing opportunities for full scale full spectrum corruption within the government itself i wouldn't agree with that and i don't know that they're talking about either way that some of

the what they're talking about the rest of the what he's talking about the e.u. doesn't know what he's talking about nobody seems to understand you very well do they let very honest of that country. once again and i'm telling you that in a country where the incomes that being increased where the employment rate is lower and let the g.d.p. is being increased you cannot eat about the pandemic corruption because this is just cannot be achieved if there is such import such enormous and any corruption so you say minister why is so there's so little respect in your government for the free press which is after all the bedrock of any democratic state the council of europe commission dunja many out of age noted last year the continued deterioration of media freedom in bulgaria she cited nontransparent media ownership heris mint of journalists including the use of defamation suits against them why do you allow this to go on more than 60 percent of the media coverage in the area is critical

against the government they wouldn't say that this is this is like a freedom of press freedom house reported that when a pro-government journalist and politician and milk look of was appointed last year to head bulger in national t.v. all the critical voices were silenced same with the nova broadcasting group new owners came in investigative journalists were fired you clearly have no interest in a press that holds your politicians to account to you. i wouldn't agree with this as well because in one of the most popular shows of getting national television distracted for example was one of the main leaders of the opposition and one of the main leaders of the protests and actually every single day that a protester on the whole get a national television and people can free to express what they think about the government and what they think about the media you know get a yes but don't investigate them don't hold them to account for corruption earlier this year reporters without borders accused your government of trying to intimidate

journalists it said they've been subjected to a series of verbal attacks and threats by very senior officials since the beginning of february they talked about the prosecutor general the speaker of the national assembly why this constant intimidation is your government afraid of the truth do you do you see me being afraid of the truth we do understand that there are a lot of problems and that we need to do a lot in the fight about that option the nation very little about it and have done very little about it in the time that this party has been in power very little 1003 visions 1000 provisional the 1st senior government officials you say that this is a little and how many sentences and how many sentences are many people have been sentenced nobody you think that in the fine legit cry and also no major government official has been said they think that in the fight in the fight against corruption we don't receive. such warrants that we see now at the moment if in the fight

against corruption is not only something that in this is that a thing of the government mr you you belittle and insult journalists during a press conference in sofia on february 4th your prime minister likened reporters especially female reporters to turkeys and then he grotesquely tried to mock them by making sounds imitating the way turkeys gobble is that how you respect the free press in your country. our prime minister just is not specific simply language and he didn't meant still be able to do any of the journalists any disrespect i don't think that this is a serious accusation about that about let the freedom of press well this is your country is ranked 100 and 11th in the world press freedom in that's the lowest ranking of any you member country and way lower than countries like kenya and angola you're not ashamed that you score so low on these key indicators for democracy like free press and very much

a story for the fact that the getting continues to be with the negative coverage you know of the foreign media but i do believe that if we really object if we are going to see that light again as i mentioned to you before is not so black and white 60 percent of the average in bulgaria is negative about the government every journalist yet is free supposed to talk about the government and the the use of social media in the countries really enormous including the consumption of internet media and internet media is very very critical about that minister what's of particular concern is your human rights record in bulgaria and the impression that fundamental neagle safeguards for citizens appear to be missing at the end of 2017 the un committee against torture reported that the or thirty's often failed to inform arrested people of their rights in criminal proceedings actively discouraged

by manipulation threats and ill treatment from accessing those rights once more in excess of 70 percent of detainees don't have access to a lawyer when those criminal trials begin and some don't even have a lawyer at any stage in those criminal proceedings to say any of that strike you as fair and what kind of steady running will you permit things like that to go on. ministry of justice in the area and also the other institutions that are supposed to be to work about these problems they're working very hard on this as the minister of labor the minister of social policy and in charge for people with disabilities people with mental can be kept and also elderly people and for example in the public 1000 crisis. but yet it has many chill it is that the life of most of the of the people who have been now at the moment did not take us interest in centers or people with disability with people with dementia out of 60000 people who

can't be in this and that's only for example and 54000000 are not christian a thought my question was about the lack of legal representation for people in your justice system it's a pretty shocking lack or 70 percent of detainees don't have access to a lawyer when those criminal trials begin i don't know about this figure us but i can tell you that this you don't you read the record every international report size your case or what's next that you're rated this bigger because that i've ever seen don't get a lot of lawyers in the area that also is. this case is the committee against torture said the one in every 3 people detained in a police stations are subjected to abuse there which may be they say of such severity as to amount to torture a main clue beating handcuffing 2 immovable objects and the use of truncheons i thought all this stuff was supposed to end when the communists left it doesn't seem to have ended at all you seem to perpetuate this kind of treatment and i'm

wondering war as i still think that this is that it was actually exaggerated and it's not exactly true you can also see that during the early un is lying about you now the un doesn't know what they're talking about human rights council committee against torture they don't know what they're talking about they don't talk to people they don't do research they simply make all this up to them and you do not believe that the geopolitical interests sometimes when we're talking about the area and international image about the area below what has no interest in making up stories about you. full stop and no interest whatsoever i'm sorry but you can always draw facts from certain cases and you can always say that this is the system but the system is not like this and i can tell you this as a person police already 47 years in the get your employer that means 16 years old when the plumbing is spelt and i can tell you that there is tremendous improvement from 1998 until today well since you're in charge of social care and

people with mental disabilities let me draw your attention to another report which came from the un committee against torture which is particularly shocking because it involves the excessive use of medication and chemical restraints on people on inmates and the forcible administering of intrusive and irreversible psychiatric treatment and therapies such as neuroleptic drugs without any attempt to gain consent from the people who are subjected to these treatment this is going on in your mental institution and frankly it's inhuman isn't it how do you permit that this report is particularly with this report that i am not aware of it or its about it concerns free particular institutions this is the justice will be closed and all the people in this institution will be displaced until then yes then there is the close when will they be closed they will last until the end of this month we are working already on that and together with the prosecutor general we started that

edition of all the east editions for mentalities of the people in if we see that there are other that is just like this all the other institutions will be well how i know you know because there is no independent monitoring another fact brought out by the committee against torture you have no independent special monitoring mechanism for mental health institutions we're working very closely with the non-governmental organisations sense from the 1st of september we have established the mage's young quality of social services i was left to point out that due to. the europeans only that it is due to our politics and the moment you both get it there are no institutions for children with mental disabilities and we are just at in the process of institutionalization all the people with mental disability as well minister is pretty shocking you've been in the for 10 years and you still have these institutions which administer forcible forcibly administer intrusive and irreversible psychiatric treatment and therapies such as neuroleptic drugs another

trick which the communist authorities used to do on people on dissidents and people who didn't agree with them this is been going on for 10 years and you tell me your only now getting round to doing something about it why why have you let this happen for so long the last 3 terms of you this prime minister and this party in power and nothing was done about it. last heritage what in the midst of level a social policy was 25 years ago then we get more than 50000 children institutions now we have no more than a 2500 children that are being i'm not talking about children i'm talking about every has and then look how long it took us to the process of the institutionalization and to say today that we don't have anymore institutions for children now is that the process for elderly people and for people with mental disabilities and i am confident that in between 5 to 7 years we are going to end this that says between 5 and 7 years at the time of your country's accession you

promise to respect and govern according to the values of the european union those included human dignity freedom democracy equality rule of law respect for human rights things that still do not pertain and are still not respected in your various institutions like prisons where people are being mistreated and like these mental institutions where you've acknowledged that the mistreatment is still continuing i wouldn't agree with you that they don't respect his values because i don't i don't see that this is a problem of the whole system yes that's the case in which we don't see these values respected and in this case this we act immediately and severely. all right they need to thank you very much for being with us.

thank you.

starch 11th on d.w. . this is t.v. news live from london and brussels signed off on the press a trade deal u.k. prime minister boris johnson thinks the agreement just hours after it gets the necessary signatures from e.u. leaders the accord seals the u.k.'s new relationship with the e.u. and goes into force on new year's day also on the program.
