progress but there are still too few of the lifesaving shots available deadlocked on the lockdown must be extended beyond january 10th it will have to be until we have more back seen we have to deal with a long lockdown now in a realistic way we need an infection rate below $25.00 per 100000 people not just 15 or germany is still a long way from that. the leaders of germany's 16 states will meet tuesday to discuss extending the lockdown they've already said they want the existing measures to remain in place but there's disagreement over whether to open schools and daycare centers a patchwork of lockdown regulations may result in snowy areas though tougher measures are already in the works for near immediate effect since the current rules are not being taken as seriously as officials had hoped. 2020 will surely be remembered for the coronavirus pandemic which is far from over restrictions and lock downs have had a huge impact on the younger generation how have they dealt with it and how is it

4:05 pm
it's a can then country. fire on cunto and i don't want to be on the phone. a lot of my work travels with teaching and performing so since khurana happened it cancelled almost all of it. is shocking to those of. the boys those who committed. even if you think and gave. us you see as i was to get. the point of where i was really. there i think it was just i am in the last straw of my bank account. i really didn't have any means to pay for the next rent or to have money for my you know for my groceries and at some point

4:07 pm
joining me now from southampton u.k. is anger haired ken a clinical psychologist who has worked with children and young people for over 20 years welcome to dr greg can you have decades of experience talking to young people what has stood out to you about what they've been telling you during this pandemic . well i think it depends on the age of the child or the teenager but certainly what a common theme has been is this lack of social contact this is missing of friends missing just being out with another group that's been an enormous impact but the ethical one is a slightly less obvious but very powerful impact which is about identity as well so we heard from the teens there that actually they had all these plans in place they the whole point of teenage is to spread your wings and gain independence and go see
4:08 pm
the world don't go and start your career and all if that has been poor steve in this current virus outbreak so it's a bit itty to think you know what i can do right i am resilient i can achieve things that's all been eroded because they just haven't been the opportunities to go and give something a try. you know the pen demick has influenced virtually every aspect of young people's lives what effect will something like this potentially long term be having on. well the wonderful thing about young people is fine is that they are incredibly resilient you know every described them as being quite bouncy and that doesn't mean that they don't feel hurt and sad and lonely and anxious of course they do but because they lessen history behind and they've got far more so hopeful attitude towards the future they actually hopefully read as professionals and what the
4:09 pm
research is pointing us towards is that actually beyond this year for example they will return to normal whatever that normal is going to be the actually this is not stop it is just not even a break really breaking except by how coming down again it's about taking things a little bit slower and just in the past year maybe for a few months before things can start off again said the economic impact of this is well we're just not too sure about what that will mean for young people but it doesn't mean that these young people are going to be doomed forevermore at all it just means that things may be a year and a half delayed in terms of their travel plans to korea their studies and so we can remain hopeful for them and i say they're incredibly resilient and people in general we have a lot to learn from them you know we only have about 20 seconds i've told my ode to my own 14 year old daughter that you can't sugarcoat the situation that every generation faces
4:10 pm
a major crisis in this or world war 2 what advice would you give to parents about how to basically help their children deal with this. i think you're absolutely right we can't pretend it's all like a we can't make 8 or 9 k. we can't solve this problem individually so we have to do for young people is validate their feelings acknowledge yes you do feel sad and frustrated and annoyed but here here are things that you can do right now to help yourself feel better so that's the best thing that we can do as parents is to validate and then offer an alternative perfect doctor and hared rodkin much much thanks. thank you. israel says it has now vaccinated over $1000000.00 people against kovac 19 that's more than 110th of its population by far the highest rate of any country and the government says that by the end of this month 2000000 people will have been immunized against grown a virus that could provide lessons for other hotspots trying to contain the spread
4:11 pm
of covert 19. saturday is normally a day of rest in israel but it's had no impact on the country's vaccination campaign and occupations are taking place at hundreds of centers like this one in tel aviv. more than a 1000000 israelis have already received their 1st shot. we were record breakers we brought millions of doses back to israel we're doing this quicker than the rest of the world. netanyahu says vaccination efforts are succeeding fanks in part to israel's small size and its centralized health care system the country's not for profit health insurance firms run all their own hospitals patients medical records are also stored centrally making vaccinations easy to organize people are sent appointments by text messages and volunteers have also been stepping up. just came to volunteering sheba is working and he participates in diminishing people nurses came out of the departments and said we finish our round there we go into
4:12 pm
a 2nd row we contribute to the people fees rail so it's this spirit of the people the prime minister is very publicly championed israel's vaccination campaign it's happening during the country's 4th election campaign in 2 years and netanyahu is keen to answer critics who had found fault with his management of the virus local media say israel is paying twice as much as the e.u. for the pfizer vaccine but despite israel's rapid rollout it hasn't yet slowed new infections which are at a 2 month high. the swedish environmental activists has. the landmark age means the teenager who inspired the world to sit up and take notice of climate change canal vote and potentially stand for office she could even run in sweden's 2022 elections let's turn back the clock and take a look at how her story unfolded. the world got to know her as the 15 year old
4:13 pm
teenager sitting outside the swedish parliament protesting for action on climate change with the slogan school strike for the climate to bargain by their classmates to join her and skip school on fridays to protest. her message went viral and global. ultimately her protest inspired the fridays for future demonstrations which gained major traction with young people around the world. but the movement also hit home with a lot of older people people concerned that they had seen too little climate action in their lifetimes the message was clear and simple. many of you can see that we are wasting time but i assure you we will go back to school the moment you start this is the science to give us a future that needed to make sure. in
4:14 pm
2019 the environmental activist sailed 2 weeks across the atlantic on a 0 carbon yacht to new york to deliver a message to the un's climate action summit. there she reminded the world that she was still just a child and her thoughts should be elsewhere you are failing us. this is all wrong. i shouldn't be up here. i should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. just so you all come to us young people for hope. but now tune berg is turning 18 liking her an adult in the eyes of swedish law she will finally be able to vote and hold to account politicians she accuses of possibly climate to children. she says for her nothing has changed the world needs to treat the climate crisis as the true crisis that is here and now.
4:15 pm

4:16 pm
this is a world of incredible natural beauty raw and hostile. one that knows no mercy . and where mistakes can have badal consequences. oh so. light here has always been a fight for survival. in
4:17 pm
a world where in summer the sun never sets and in winter the nights are full of magic and color and. we are exploring the most remote locations in this inhospitable terrain from greenland through the northwest passage to alaska. we meet people who sense that their world is changing. and those who are changing. this is a world in which the future of humanity will be decided. by the arctic plague.
4:18 pm
while taking risky maneuvers at full speed for the boss allies that feverish lee looks for a pass. it's through the ice. to go for very high. profile it's a race against time. to go right. for 3 point. 0 north easterly wind that's unusually powerful for early july drives a large amounts of drift ice from the arctic ocean into the fjord the freezing headwind makes travel difficult and pushes the ice sheets closer and closer together creating pack ice after traveling almost 700 kilometers in the scoresby sound we find ourselves stranded in the arctic together with of are still lies and family and one of the most isolated and inhospitable places on earth. a week before we departed iceland on
4:19 pm
a 2 hour flight over the arctic ocean our destination it took what automate. a village some 800 kilometers away from its closest neighbors. the descent itself is breathtaking. on the shoreline of one of the fjords branches woodland on a gravel runway. it was built by an american oil firm which withdrew from the development in 1990 but the runway remains. we have to continue our journey by boat as there are no roads. the trip takes close to 2 hours. on a peaceful and beautiful july afternoon like this would imagine that anything could go wrong. the colorful houses a veto court order meet stand out like beacons between the rocks and the ice. were
4:20 pm
overwhelmed by the incredible beauty of the arctic and its bassinets confounds our senses. the icebergs often as tall as skyscrapers i've. it's more than 40 kilometers from here to the shoreline on the other side of the fjord. 350 people live in a talk or 2 i meet almost all are in a way it. most of the work they do is directly or indirectly subsidized by the danish government. which keeps the settlement alive there's a church hospital sports center and a primary school here along with what might be the world's most spectacular soccer pitch it's artificial turf is carefully manicured between the rubble and the snow. they've even just opened an outdoor pool for children. it's only the 2nd one in all of greenland. the kids splash around to the sound of techno music. even though the
4:21 pm
water's a little chilly that still need some improvement. how was the water. to it too cold for the kids. what we were working on well more. at the small weather station they're releasing a weather balloon like they do every day at 11 each morning and night at the same time as hundreds of weather stations around the world tore undress and runs the station he's lived in for 46 years but says things have changed dramatically here in recent years well the by the system. but you. there's a bit changes. everything. it's been a lot more not more humid
4:22 pm
a lot more rain and. such i meant we had no was what they had. was when i. went it's quite a bit. above the village there's a cemetery with a stunning view even if it's getting warmer here in the summer they still digging extra graves to be able to bury those who die in winter when the ground is frozen solid. suddenly there's excitement in the village. the men are loading their guns and everyone's on their feet people drop everything to go and watch the now walls or hear. who those who aren't in the boats watch from the shoreline and tell the hunters which way to go. time and again the whale submerge and the
4:23 pm
boats chase after them the sound of large caliber weapons resonates throughout the day. the hunters fear the smell of the corpses could attract polar bears to keep them away from the shoreline and the settlement the dead whales or hold on to an ice sheet and carved up their. outside one of the cabins we meet met a parcel i asked to spa lowing the action with binoculars. her husband orca and her brother of god who are taking part in the hunt. for the voyage we ask her why people here are so crazy about now walls or what things. are important. like what a warrior. you believe you need water in that.
4:24 pm
you. do and where you can you are. you know the truth. of metal invites us to stay for lunch. is on the menu it's the children's favorite method tells us that much has changed here in recent years and asks if we'd like to join them on a boat trip up the fuehrer in the coming days. we travel almost 400 kilometers with them up the scoresby sound at 50 or 60 kilometers an hour navigating our way through the ice.
4:25 pm
after 4 hours of a very cold and for us off a nerve racking journey we take a break in stunning surroundings. the silence is only broken by the sound of melting glaciers. while her youngest son brian keeps an eye out for polar bears which can appear out of nowhere at any time we ask mehta about the biggest changes she's observed here and recent years it takes years the last years have been smelting roughly like like 10 years ago and to now it's can smell up to one kilometer. then suddenly 2 polar bears appear a mother and her cub a potentially extremely dangerous encounter for both parties. so it's lucky for us
4:26 pm
we're sitting safely in our boat and lucky for the polar bears this years back order has already been. the one to go kenia by because they have very few thoughts . but i like to meet as. you know you make small pieces of meat and make it a little bit of food price 3 if polar bear goulash. our journey up the pure continues we've been travelling through this magical world of ice for 2 days. but this isn't a family holiday even if it sometimes looks like an. 8 year old brian drives us to
4:27 pm
our camp for the night at full speed. isn't metal work. it's great when he was my age because he's still fairly new but his father one team tutor coaches drive early as possible and if you really should you know hope to see you 2 when he was 4 by. as often as they can they bring their children to the field to teach them how to survive here in the arctic how to feed themselves how to hunt and fish how to creep up on polar bears seals and musk ox and how to adapt to the ever changing world around them. but it's all right now before we can get the water here. so now we don't have more snow.
4:28 pm
because. we have. earlier so. the next morning we need to move fast a strong wind is coming up and that could prove dangerous so we need to leave we still have a 350 kilometer return trip ahead of us. and then we find ourselves stranded in the arctic. the ice flows on foot looking for a passage through the ice. our biggest worry now is that something could happen to the boat they risk being destroyed by drift ice and without the boats there's no way to get back we have to turn around in an ice free bay we meet some hunters who are
4:29 pm
also stuck we launch our drone to get a better overview of the situation a guy who in the other hunters examine our images it really doesn't look good there's pack eyes all the way to the horizon. we're not going to get out of here so quickly. to the all we set up camp and post guards to watch out for polar bears all the all the hunters share their food with us and that's a cuts than our wall skin and blubber into small strips to make them easier to chew . i'm always good to. get. coffee. taste like showing up yeah. no no yeah for 3 hours. after being stuck here for 2 days things suddenly move very quickly
4:30 pm
the family has made a decision to give up on the mortgage tells us a call that will bring us back the 3 of us the children and one hunter in one boat . and although i want the children to get back to the village it's growing too cold out here and the polar bears pose an ever present danger. they plan to follow us as soon as there's a clear path through the ice. their boat is too big to haul over the ice. for the full interview it's a tiring and perilous journey back. anyone who falls into the water here is unlikely to survive. but so what if any.
4:31 pm
one of those 3. it's hard for us to judge exactly how thick the ice really is. that we drag our boat over the pack ice all the time we're afraid that the ice could crack or that someone could slip into the icy water. we make our way from ice floe to ice floe taking advantage of every little ice free passage to use the boat. we drag push and pull getting in and out of the boat for hours on end. this isn't normal for the middle of july. the new weather patterns are making life
4:32 pm
difficult for the in a with the knowledge they've acquired over many generations which helps them predict weather conditions is becoming unreliable. form no doubt that for some reason. the 4. late that evening after hours crossing the ice we are finally in the clear. helicopter arrives to pick us up eric the local policeman has come to say goodbye and make sure we're ok nor walser back in the day and after 2 nights on the ice
4:33 pm
mehta has also made it home. we leave eco for touring mates deeply moved by its people and its natural beauty. the path to the landing strip is still blocked by ice thanks. this is yellow knife canada at the military section of its airport thanks we're traveling with the 2nd battalion of quebec's royal 22nd regiment a unit which supports canada's john. task force north. it's been a long trip from the top we're told to meet almost a 1000 kilometers with stops in quebec and yellowknife before we reach cambridge
4:34 pm
bay in the canadian arctic. we're taking part in operation not quote it's mission to patrol the northwest passage canadian territory that could hardly be more isolated. the 2 griffin military helicopters fly low taking advantage of the element of surprise. the helicopters head out over the water they have their sights set on a cargo ship and radio the freighter to identify itself the captain is surprised. he asks why the helicopter is there he never imagined that 2 military helicopters would suddenly appear in the middle of the night this amuses the pilots.
4:35 pm
the. then. the freighter was properly registered but the message is clear anyone travelling through the northwest passage should expect to face questions. back at command central briefings are taking place reconnaissance patrols are to be transferred to observation posts in the northwest passage to monitor an area approximately the size of germany. during this time of year. worst price so there's one more people traffic for many. people on the ground and in the year year 4 sets of boards to the monitor and i'm a little hope of our time it's also from a ship that didn't save you comes because it's up every yeah yeah there's
4:36 pm
difference between seeing a submarine or. fishing boat right wanted to require different did they require different. the base of their operations is known as cam main located at cambridge bay it's part of the joint canadian american north warning system. roughly 2000 people live in cambridge bay it's a kind of rough and tumble arctic front here town in the middle of nowhere that's kept alive with generous support from the canadian government. most of the people here live from hunting and fishing and government subsidies. fishing for arctic char is one of the few good paying jobs here. people can are in around 4000 euros for 2 weeks work. but the fishing grounds are spread all over the northwest passage and are often only reachable by float plane. at the dock in
4:37 pm
cambridge bay we meet some fishermen i'm loading their catch we ask if they've encountered vessels in the northwest passage that have no business being there. they're heard stories of elders out on boats. some out in the distance thinking it's an island and also not just somewhere. yes that's not copper mining area. well we know based on some cite from other people that they said that there was a russian. coming community. art. but that's all we know when it's been in the news so basically you know i know that. the government can. try to keep it low somehow or not make a big deal out of it but. what i'm sure that they know a lot more than what they say i think i had an observation post we meet the
4:38 pm
commander of joint task force north brigadier general patrick carpentier say. he's inspecting his troops who are conducting surveillance in this isolated region he explains how hard it is to maintain a presence throughout canada's north if you take that area of land it's about the size of the continental u.s. so in that area there's only 150000 people that are separated in about 72 different communities so and so the challenges are communication transportation infrastructure. everything is a challenge in the north and that's not counting climate. his troops are always accompanied by a group. arctic rangers local you know it you work with the military. they play an important role. critical because if you can be united. the rangers are. the force of.
4:39 pm
the canadian armed forces only have around $400.00 soldiers permanently stationed here in the north. so they couldn't do without the help of the arctic rangers and the local population. along with 2 arctic rangers and a reconnaissance patrol were being transferred to an outpost on a small uninhabited island. the pilots ask us if we get airsick we're told to be honest because lots of people start to feel queasy when the helicopter picks up speed. they fly low and fast. for more than an hour we travel over a rocky terrain as well as countless lakes. sometimes
4:40 pm
it feels like we could reach out and touch the ground. we have to disembark quickly the pilots need to return to base. this is to be our camp for the next few days a couple of tents on a small island in the middle of the arctic there are no trees or bushes for protection we are fully exposed to the wind and weather which often changes from one minute to the next. night has fallen on slightly higher ground the 1st guards have taken up position using infrared devices and powerful binoculars they search for hot spots on the icy waters. these can even be detected from great distances away. from this what do you see a submarine would do if coming up if it's up if it's if it's up we're going to see
4:41 pm
it. you know we don't know but i know there we have some specialists for some reason with us let's here but at the other place but they don't show us that. the next morning this reconnaissance patrol is searching better arisan they've just spotted a foreign invader. there's a grizzly bear here you know that it's right there and we saw it just came back this was to. start to see but this right there because you did lead to a. courtroom you. amy and allan load their guns the canadian arctic is in
4:42 pm
a what territory the soldiers are guests here and an armed. they don't want to be viewed as an occupying force so they leave it up to the rangers to defend them. on the side of good if you come through that. smoking's. thing so what will you do that if you come might be like it's so far away of there are. good things to uproot. you want to. but for now the bear is nowhere in sight. suddenly a dense fog moves in from the sea now it's wet and cold around 3 degrees celsius alan says it could take a week for the fog to lift it looks like we're once again trapped in the arctic this time on a small island with a grizzly bear. they were completely fogged
4:43 pm
most of the time. not really. right so they were. a few days later the skies have cleared and the helicopters can fly the brigadier general comes for an inspection he and his staff have one burning question mark their site is going to have to see what it must be a lot of those are but of course it's not bears that pose the biggest challenge here they are merely a tactical problem is strategic challenges that the north is an extremely rich your resources this new. man city. have a presence such a large territory is. the arctic boasts a wealth of natural resources diamonds copper iron ore oil gas and fish.
4:44 pm
and now the ice is melting faster and the ground is thawing it's getting easier to extract these treasures. there in great demand and only those who maintain a presence here can protect their interests and it's a huge undertaking in canada the 2nd largest country on earth and a herculean task up here in the far north at the end of the world. we continue our journey traveling almost 2000 kilometers westward to fairbanks alaska and from there another 800 kilometers to a dead horse by the beaufort sea. it's now early october and we are on the dalton highway. much of it is just a mix of mud and gravel it's been called one of the world's most dangerous roads. crossing the yukon river we had northwards in the arctic following the route of the
4:45 pm
trans alaska pipeline. and crossing the mighty brooks range of 2000 kilometer long mountain range that runs right across northern alaska. kept way along the route we had cold put little more than a gas station in the middle of the wilderness until the mid 1990 s. the dalton highway was closed to normal traffic anyone wanting to use it needed a special permit from the oil companies now truck drivers tell us they're encountering more and more tourists most come here in the winter to see the northern lights but they often underestimate the risks it's beautiful as it is nice as it is not to me it's not worth it cause it's it is very dangerous you know and specially come i'm prepared just think about it you might have to walk you know 10 miles in this weather that's all people up here that go out there and just have nothing no you know they have light jackets they have you know tennis shoes and
4:46 pm
it's just not there's.
