well she says and all agree that the only really sustainable long term measure is widespread vaccination but we're still very far from that with only one percent of the population less than a 1000000 people vaccinated so far and the chancellor has said she doesn't expect to see a significant impact from vaccination until sometime in the summer so meanwhile what's being considered as you said moving up the emergency meeting with the state premiers because the rules are mostly at the initiative of the state governments moving up that meeting till this coming tuesday that was announced today then also different measures being considered but with a particular focus on asking employers and companies to send as many people into home office as possible in order to get that mobility that i was talking about down then there's also consideration about requiring people to wear a higher level of personal protection in other words better masks in all public places there have been some talk about whether we could see

a shutdown of public transportation and and trains regional trains apparently the chancellor has said she doesn't want to go there but certainly very much consideration being given to significantly stricter measures and certainly i think we will see a prolonged geisha and of those that are in place because even stricter measures some on social media are holding for an extended complete shutdown of all european economies what exactly do they suggest. that's right that's been called 0 cove it was a plan that was suggested by 3 scientists one from australia one from the us and one from germany and essentially it's based on the very strong lockdowns very thorough lockdowns that were put into place in australia and new zealand and that diversity much brought numbers down there's also a particular petition circulating here in germany for this is 0 coded and it was launched yesterday and got 17000 signatures just in its 1st 24 hours there are also

proposals for such as 0 covert program to be put into place on a europe wide basis such a program would also include restructuring health services to improve access so it's very ambitious as you said it would involve an absolute economic shutdown we'll see how many governments want to go that route but certainly we are seeing that a number of citizens would like to see stricter measures put into place political correspondent in the grain thank you linda. a ring of steel has been put up around washington d.c. as america prepares for next week's handover of power from the outgoing trump administration to the new team on the president elect joe biden ahead of joe biden's inauguration next week security in the u.s. capitol has been stepped up to unprecedented levels more than 20000 soldiers ought to be deployed to prevent a repeat of the kind of violence seen last week at the capitol building as the w's

carolina reports from washington where the measures are getting a mixed reaction from residents. you shall not pass that seems to be the message all around the capital seoul 2 years from the national guard have flooded this. first came the fence then the barricades were expecting our own 20000 soldiers from the national guard in washington d.c. on an operation day some have arrayed lined up behind me the city has never seen something like that and people there are scared of the city is a completely. on inauguration day it was dangerous too dangerous scary you are supposed to be you know very good markers. group called. right up the creek that they've done since wednesday is definitely needed and i do

feel better about it but i think that the brightest still there at the current is shaky i just want to make sure that this time that they're actually doing their job to protect the city as opposed to you know they have a prayer like lestat. behind the fence it's all hands on deck. soldiers from 11 states have arrived in washington d.c. . they're organizing their equipment checking their weapons and getting ready in case violence returns to the city. they still don't know for how long they will stay deployed here. but the ones who spoke to asked said they are proud to be here and to defend their democracy. but it's also a logistical challenge. for now they're waiting this might look like a military base but we're actually in the heart of the capitol building the

soldiers are resting here they're having lunch and they're getting prepared for 10 or 20 inauguration day. nobody knows what awaits. the faults still bears signs of last week's riots. or. heard. and now they are here to fix it. ok well us president elect joe biden has outlined a $1.00 trillion dollar coronavirus an economic recovery plan if passed by congress it will include one trillion dollars for households and more than 400000000000 dollars to combat the pandemic directly that's including accelerating current vaccine programs and support for businesses he's previously promised a 100000000 vaccines in the 1st 100 days of his birth in the presidency by the

knowledge the plans high price tag but said the country couldn't afford to do anything less and it's not hard to see there were in the middle of a once in several generations economic crisis with a once in several generations public health crisis. well the dumbest piece of adult has been watching joe biden's latest press conference a piece of tell us more about by this economic plan right so this is really biting bringing the the biggest soup in the sukkah if you will to fight the pandemic you know to put this in perspective 2 trillion dollars is more than double the stimulus that the obama white not stray she passed in 2000 niger in the great recession one of the big criticisms back then was that they did not do enough to help the average american and it seems joe biden has really learned that lesson from not crisis and that is to go big or go home this coded stimulus package is sweeping us is that

very ambitious plan that's aimed almost squarely abstracting americans were looking at things like $2000.00 checks to provide some immediate relief but also an increase in jobless benefits you know last prevent landlords from kicking out tenants who can't pay their rent because of the pandemic and also things like raising the minimum wage so there's a lot in there and bite you really want to keep it in there at least through september which is i think a clear recognition wesley clear message to the american people that the president does not expect this pandemic to go away any time soon but the economic crisis has been of course triggered by the coronavirus pandemic biden is promising a very very ambitious covert 19 vaccination rollout i think just what is it 100000000 vaccinations in the 1st 100 view 100 days is not too ambitious. well yeah fully right i mean a 100000000 vaccines in the 1st 100 days and compare that to where we are right now

that's almost 10 times what the u.s. . the vaccines that the u.s. has a minister sends the roll that begin a month ago to yes it is a very very ambitious plan and it's all but destined to be hampered i think by the outgoing trump administration which according to reports has pretty much been stonewalling the plight of ministration every step of the way you know they haven't provided real time information about the production distribution of the vaccine on top of that lightness plan also really requires a level of national coordination that the trump administration has actively discouraged that they would have to set up that framework. you know biden himself said as a nation will have to move heaven and earth to get more people back sunday to and part of that is this an ambitious $400000000000.00 to find that demick everything from expanding testing hiring 100000 more community health workers you

know the big question is really if biden will be able to get this through congress democrats will control the senate but mine would really like half his purse big bill you know with by part and bipartisan support and at the same time we're looking at a senate that's dealing with impeachment the impeachment of donald trump and that is all but guaranteed to really deepen the not partisan divide that we've seen so much of for the past 4 years and obvious bit of either the thank you. sports news now a court in the munich has sentenced a german doctor to 4 years and 10 months in prison for his role in the years of illegal doping in sport the landmark verdict which was read on friday morning concludes the 1st major prosecution under german and doping legislation which was brought in in 2015 mark s.

a host of premier league players have tested positive and several games have been postponed the league and even the government of ask players to tone down their celebrations but many football coaches believe it is unrealistic to expect players to rein in their emotions. it is an interesting reaction is difficult so i don't know how we will be able to do it. some football fans also feel sorry for the players that can be no social distancing when going in for a tackle. all when most players are in the books for a corner so what makes goal celebrations any different. but in the empty stands critics say professional footballers in europe should recognise how privileged they are the top leagues are able to keep playing jaring the pandemic when grassroots and other forms of entertainment. governing

welcome to. glad you could join us authorities in india have begun poultry and putting containment measures in place after cases of bird flu were reported across the country more than 10 states have been affected though no case of transmission to humans has been reported the health crisis comes as the government prepares to roll out a vaccination program against covert 19. reports. the 48 year old is worried his work has come to a standstill suddenly. he owns a shop in a short largest market called the gossiper monday in delhi. the state government

has ordered a temporary shutdown of this market to prevent the spread of bird flu. in the past few days the indian media was flooded with pictures and reports of various breeds of birds dying in different parts of the country crews were dropping dead true trees and corpses of ducks were found floating in water samples were collected from numerous sites which tested. but you also know when i was going influenza are usually gets transmitted during the course season from my greatest species of birds to domestic birds including poultry and why birds multiple states in the country so far have confirmed the outbreak of this disease. as india is still dealing with the corona virus pandemic and the discovery of new variants the outbreak of the bird flu has caused fresh concerns among people. amid this scare the poultry industry has been hit the hardest with the delhi government banning the import of

live chicken and putting a halt on the gospel markets operations. this move has affected the likelihood of poultry traders and his business partner less than a year after the call with 90 band to make and lockdowns caused a huge drop in demand. to resume. the work. you're not owning anything you're having to be the labor cost our homes are suffering. is shot says that shutting the market was an overly. his views are echoed by veterinarian professor kamal potter who says that there has never been a case of but if you are transmitting to humans in the country and that poultry is saved to conceal if handled and cooked properly the 1st case of bird flu in india happened in 2006 since then every year there is an outbreak from what i understand

this year there is more panic because not only the country but the entire world has been dealing with cold with 19 pandemic and then there is also rumors of flu on social media there just like i don't know what is this why this may also get transmitted to humans by consuming portree or eggs people are just frightened. a shot says he had thought that treated like him would make up for the losses they suffered during the lock down in the winter season when demand for 40 products usually rises but this sudden hiatus has dashed his hopes that. it will take about 2 months for poultry market to get back on track so. it will take more time for the prices to stabilize the people are already cautious of the growing no worries and now with the bird flu might not want to take a risk by consuming too can at this time. for traders like the past year had been a tough one the new year hasn't been any better but he is desperately hoping his

business will recover in the coming months. and in relief or if sharpton traitors like him the delhi government has just announced that there was a board poultry market can now reopened but for more on the rising cases of bird flu in india i'm joined by did a book correspondent when you got your degree in delhi how was the government responding to these rising. well the indian government on its box has been repeatedly trying to emphasize to people that book 2 or even flu is something that happens in the country every i did in the indices and then the then the migrating species of birds made their way through the country and they are trying to show people that this is something that happens every year and there's nothing to be worried about the state governments go on taking certain decisions of their own like they. are banning the import of like to control other affected areas and as you know the delhi government did get out of the shutdown issue of the good chicken market for some time but it has just announced that it can't be open with certain

precautions. so the government is trying to assure people but people are sure old are they afraid. i won't say they're afraid but yes they are a little concerned which can be called an offer effect of dealing with a pandemic for almost a year now but there are the good part of it i'd offer them their fine things which i thank you assure people that as long as you maintain hygiene as long as you take precautions there's nothing to be what about as long as you cook or clean what you are that's probably nothing is going to happen. you talk about good coronavirus or pandemic and there is beginning its vaccine rollout from a sense of duty will be affected by these birds who kisses does not look like i mean the that 2 separate things that are a lot begins on 16 jan brings saturday and the 4th round of the rollout with actually radicalizing health workers and that are almost 89 sites which have been chosen for this only in the national capital of private and government hospitals

the 2nd down with focus on are the frontline locals afterwards the pride will go to senior citizens people who are about 50 years of age or people with cool mobility it's only after this this is completed when the rest of the population will be at mr de lexi and of course we'll be following along this vaccination program which is going to be one of the world's largest i'm going to have more reports on this but thank you so much for this at the moment when you're not on the beat in delhi. in cambodia the only sustained generations of fisherman but a combination of natural and manmade changes are already impacting. cambodia's tongue lace up one of the biggest inland fisheries on earth more than a 1000000 people rely on this vast like for their livelihoods once renowned for its

abundance of fish extensive damming up stream and climate change have taken their toll on the ecosystem. to battle here are facing difficulties because the water is low and there are no fish so people on the lake have to change their way of life because they have lots of children maybe they'll have to work on shore at a construction site or in a factory because the lake is running out of fish. the lakes rich ecology is sustained by a rare seasonal reversal during the dry season the lake drains into the mekong river when the rains come in may the powerful flow of the mekong pushes water back into town by sap swelling the lakes volume by up to 5 times but last year water levels were down 25 percent from averages saying just 20 years ago. troll the main challenge for our fishing community is climate change. for the past

2 years the water levels from the mekong river have changed dramatically. that. has ton lace up dries up so too do the incomes of thousands of families. a fisherman like me who lives on the lake depends on water fish and forests while the 3 are running out what can we hope for. faced with low fish stocks the villages of coach ivanka forced to grow crops to supplement their living. in one way the forest here used to be so dense. but now the trees are gone and people grow chilies here to make money because they can't catch fish during the dry season they get. more than flow in the tunnel asap

putting a way of life under threat. the sport of the perfect physique and like any sport it comes with its own challenges but one female chinese bodybuilder has faced more than most. whose disability made her the target of bullies is now an inspiration for many. she's a former paralympian turned. grey you know as achievements have won her many fans on social media not to mention the judges that bodybuilding competitions not always analogous i never imagined i could get 1st place it's possible i achieved this not because of my professionalism or muscles but because of my confidence and bravery to stand on the stage and show the best of myself to everyone. gray's social media followers regularly tuning in to watch her workouts the attention hasn't always been positive gray says she's been denied work because of having the wrong image

after she lost her leg in a road accident at age 7 she was relentlessly bullied at school. they called me a cripple our 3 legged cat most of the time it was abusive language like that sometimes there was physical abuse too the 1st time they made me fall i cried that moment but then i got used to it and i thought you can bully me however you want but i'll be fine as long as i have a brave heart. nearly 3 decades on gray says the accident has shaped her as a person. many people think that feat is unkind to me but i don't think so. thankful for having these hardships why do i say that because of this i grew up it made my heart stronger and made me who i am today that. within the bodybuilding community where you still encounter some discrimination. she's proved before the doubters won't hold

crimes. to go off on you tube. one of our most basic human needs 6. coronaviruses make something as simple as a kiss or a hug we're so used to interacting with people and having touch and without that right now you know we're really at a loss so how can we get the physical intimacy we need experts have offered advice from who we should be doing it with to how we should be doing it for many of us 6

has become a burden for others a real problem. someone once told me purple means sexually frustrated desperate times call for desperate measures but which measures are the right ones is some advice from my colleague and 6 but at the 77 percent figure we use you to show for africa. because i could traffic is crazy but what is it what's going on what's happening talk to me. honestly can't make it any more josh is driving me crazy ok the tale what's happening well you know we've been together for like almost a yemen and everything was going great but once the lockdown started things just started to change with him especially after he lost his job. sounds like you grieving and i can't imagine what you're going through is easy but i think you think if you're just saying i've i've tried i've tried to make him comfortable

about the situation i'm still able to cover the bill but i just don't get it he's become so desperate and he sits in front of the t.v. all day we haven't had sex in months. i just don't know what to do more have you tried having an open conversation with him because he didn't tell me why do you have what did i think you have the problem there. that's a tough one but also quite common i mean i think josh might be depressed. maybe a form of intervention might get someone professionally preferably come to use it to have a conversation between the 2 view you know because you know some men struggle to open up because they think it makes them look we can we have the patriarchy to thank for that maybe even feel like he can no longer act as the provider which also traditionally is expected of men. but he needs to learn that he's still fat and given time i like an opportunity to heal i think that's the best you can do but what if nothing changes oh only if you refuse to listen then it's on you you have

to decide if it's the kind of environment you want to fuck their relationship is going to happen next time things go tough you need to take care of your own mental health too. i suppose that makes. but what about this. diary. well after i had waited this totally normal to the effect that i would have separated from depression believe me but when patient with me you know but in the meantime you can meet your own me. ok you know ok that makes that that ok enough about me how about you when you do really oh i'm going late. researcher raquel peele joins us from my hometown brisbane raquel good to see you there tell me is your best sexual partner yourself during these difficult times. depends

are you a single person looking for someone you are or are you already in a relationship so if you're single what you reckon well you just single then you've really got to consider the safety issue we've depend emic so i guess for me it doesn't necessarily mean that you why your best partner if i want to have sex with someone i would be wanting to have that conversation about safety have they been checked for coronavirus would they consider getting checked prior to engaging in sexual activity but isn't that something that will scare people away. look when it comes to law in relationships anything with care is a way for willing to go away but i think you feel if this is something that you want and i think that conversation is warranted it's the same conversation around safe sex wearing condoms we need to have that conversation what about what the terrence higgins trust advised in the u.k.

back in august last year to avoid kissing where a face covering and choose positions that aren't face to face during sex that sounds a little complicated. it really does and i think it the dead fives that i would give is have a conversation it's a lot more logical to you to talk about safety to be open with your partners around whether you've been tested around the really you would consider being tested those considerations to avoid intimacy that's just not feasible it's not something that we can as human beings do for too long we aren't truly motivated to connect and i think the best advice is let's connect in a safe manner how long is it healthy to abstain from sex. look i don't have that number for you i would just say look again as humans we are intrinsically motivated to do it so being told that we can't do it i don't think that's the right thing the right thing would be how do we do it raquel what about cyber sex

why not seem to see it the key element is intimacy we can be intimate online so i think that's a good alternative specially for couples to have been separated by the pain that make to keep up the intimacy i would say online sex but also conversation so it's a way to keep connected any i have actually heard from people who have been kept apart the found other ways to connect but their relationship actually got better out how they had to get better can you give me some examples yes people better because well one they had to be a little bit more creatively power they connected like isn't it just sex but also communication and in documenting occasion they were able to tell each other what they like and don't like and sometimes in that when we act together in the heat of sex when we might not be a particular minicab all we want but in that online environment they had an

opportunity to communicate and say well like they say i don't like that moron couples lots of couples are in crisis right now it's a pressure cooker scenario happen you save a relationship in times like these. yeah it's look couples who are in conflict right now are couples who are already had conflict in their relationship and because of the pain that makes those conflicts sort of came to sepsis one thing that i often say is to watch for the ratio of interaction that you have with your part in that so it should be a ration between $5.00 to $1.00 so for every one negative thing and i believe interaction that you have of your partner that you need 5 positive interactions so balanced tractions of your panna finke about how you communicate with them meaning that instead of using you statements so you don't do these or you make me upset about this use i statements talk about yourself and how you few turn things around

so you can address conflict. can you just leave us with one more piece of advice that will get us through this crisis make us perhaps a little less frustrated yeah one piece of advice. i think. i think of safety is the feeling that it's a ball drain bothering you have a conversation with your partner about safety i often hear people talk to me about how how do i be safe how do i change things have a conversation for what it is to be safe change or broaching if need be because if you are going to be locked out you need to start communicating a lot more you know different health field thank you very much for joining us today a look at some of the numbers now and we're around the 2000000 mark of officially recorded covert deaths worldwide that's according to figures from the johns hopkins university the united states accounts for nearly one in 5 dates globally as you can

see them it's followed by brazil and india mexico and the you kate. and looking at the countries with the highest proportion of deaths in a population san marino has more than 1900 deaths per 1000000 belgium is next in slovenia. easily and both india and heads of government. your questions on the coronavirus over to our science correspondent derek believes . should pregnant women get these new vaccine. i've often been asked how dangerous it 19 can be for a pregnant woman or her unborn baby and i've talked about that topic a few times over the last 10 months but i've never discussed this aspect of it

whether trying to prevent catching the disease could pose a danger so so let's look at what reliable sources are saying about vaccines and pregnancy i think the most important thing to be aware of is that we just don't have as much information on pregnant women receiving approved covert 19 vaccines as we do for other groups because women who knew they were pregnant weren't included in the large scale trials that lead to emergency vaccine approvals of course some women became pregnant in the course of those trials and i found no reports indicating that they or their unborn babies suffered any ill side effects attributable to a vaccine candidate but the fact is we still simply know less about what might happen to a pregnant woman being vaccinated then we do about other groups so so so that's quite rightly causing health care authorities to to adopt

a conscious approach the general consensus among leading organizations including the w.h.o. and the c.d.c. is that there's still just not enough evidence to recommend covert 19 back scenes to pregnant women on a wide scale but they also make exceptions for women at increased risk of exposure for example frontline health care workers those women may consider being vaccinated after talking to an expert about everything we know. so far about covert 19 and pregnancy that's because we also know that pregnant women are in more danger of developing severe forms of the disease if they catch it if women from those high exposure groups choose to be vaccinated and agree to be tracked their data will flow into further studies which should in the near future tell us

a lot more about any possible dangers many experts currently seem optimistic though that the benefits of vaccines will outweigh any risks for pregnant women too but the jury is still out. thanks for watching stay safe and see you next week.
