hold on germany even though the situation in hospitals and intensive care units is showing signs of easing. that is your news update at this hour don't forget you can always get the latest around the clock on our web site that's a d w dot com or you can follow us on social media twitter and instagram at g.w. news and say richardson in berlin for me and the entire news team thanks so much for watching. the fight against the corona virus 10 damage. has the rate of infection in developing what does the latest research say. information and context the coronavirus update nineteen's. on t w. d

t you know that 77 percent. are younger than 30 pot. cuts me and me and you. and you know what external voices are part. of the 77 percent issue. this is where because of. the 77 percent this weekend on g.w. . the race for a vaccine the rollout of mass inoculation programs the world's never seen so many funds flow into the prevention of a disease. but while everyone's focused on back scenes what about a cure or treatment for those infected all those of us who could still catch the corona virus especially as

a 2nd or 3rd wave crests in many countries. it is near now you need a 3 month. lockdown is not 3 weeks there's no other treatment and we still have problems. meanwhile tens of millions of people around the world are still fighting for their lives. hospitals only have a small arsenal of treatments against covered 19 and health authorities have their reservations about some of them yeah the catch is that all of the treatments have to be given early in the course of the disease otherwise they can be counterproductive. seriously ill covert 1000 patients can expect to get much more effective treatment nowadays doctors are no longer fighting an unknown calling and dizzy as they were in the initial stages of the demick they know much more about the coronavirus its affects on the medication which can help in an emergency oh i don't mind listen this is one we know that all depends on proactive treatment of symptoms consistently reducing fever pain relief antibiotics if needed

additional oxygen and if necessary prompt ventilation. and we also have 2 treatments strategies now which target the disease more accurately begin digging the iconic. doctors treating serious cases of covert 19 now rely primarily on those medications rem disappear is used to restrict viral record auction. but it needs to be administered in the early stages of treatment however a recent study by the world health organization calls a stir when it said ramdev severe only has a minimal or even no influence on mortality or the length of hospital stays. over 1000 specialists of how overs university hospital say they've had different results with us. have high quality studies which show rendez of fear has a measurable effect on the course of the disease especially if it ministered promptly and the patient is not seriously ill but he doubts the window of

opportunity with badly ill patients like those in intensive care who've been symptomatic for longer than rem deaths of ear probably won't work the study is also clear about. doctors have also discovered that administering cortisone to severely ilke over 1000 patients can be quite effective we now know the coronavirus provokes life threatening immune system reactions involving drastic inflammation of organs and blood vessels cortisone reduce the swelling and that can save lives especially if those. patients need ventilating. the complexity of the disease makes finding a targeted therapy a serious challenge in later stages patients are at risk of developing issues such as thrombosis in their lungs and organs some patients can suffer long term effects great progress has been made in finding a vaccine for covert 19 the wait for a cure continues. if the rx is by

a pharmaceutical company that develops treatments see if they need a month joins us so scientists have found several vaccines all in record time but where does that leave people like you doctors and researchers who are looking for treatments. yes for some of thanks for having me on the show on a much appreciated yet treatments are on our different animal so to speak and i think there are clearly important with respect to call it 1000 you know the lot of people don't i'm not really aware that this this disease has many different facets and many different faces yes there is that healthy population that needs to be protected vaccines are of at most importance and then there's those that get sick and get well soon and then there's those that get very sick and they need treatment and they may have problems and even diane it as we know that's that's why we are all afraid about this disease and i think treatments are important there are companies like ours that have studied and worked in the field of viral inflammation

and viral sepsis for many many years trying to prevent our immune response causing damage to tissues and organs and leading to more jobs and death and saw i think if this works and if we if we you can make an impact of course that's great news for the people that are greatly affected and they're really severely critically ill but it also is i think a great great thing to have for a new pandemics or for you taking viruses because your response patterns there are a similar between viruses and if we were to be successful with a treatment that could be a great protection also in the long run just how effectively can drugs and therapies help sufferers cope with covered 90. we do believe they can i mean this the bar is selectively hot you need to show it in will control in english studies so you can't just have a good early results and say i'm going to run for an authorization approval you

have to really statistically plan a trial treaty not the shins and prove that you would rock and in our case try to prevent our mortality prevent death or another case prevent the patients gets more severely sick get into baby get dependent on life or an organ support so we believe that there are drugs in the early stages of the disease that may prevent the virus causing the strong immune response and causing look through replication and then there are bugs like ours when you have a strong immune response trying to model it that response and trying to prevent that union system cause damage to your own organs so we have seen interesting early stage face to data that point to a potential mechanism we've published this in the lancet rheumatology and we believe we can help patients that's why we went to face 3 and we're eager to see data this year but is that they don't you then need the funds don't you to to

produce these drugs and that funding gap seems to be quite big between what's going into vaccines and what's going to treatments like yours. yes and thank you for bringing that up and as you know if we found an initiative in germany called bin cost and i know a lot of my colleagues are the same topic we've seen phenomenal and great fast funding for axioms and in fact in europe and specifically in germany we have not seen tired of funding for the late stage projects that are would be equivalent to vaccines so while there were very early programs for preclinical research which won't see the patient in in the years to come and now those 1st programs for early stage clinical research that is of course size wise a multiple or with $4050000000.00 all together for multiple tasks we need a funding that is equivalent and that is that is a real funding for late stage projects meaning that you can produce material for the market for the patients fast that you can prepare for the market and if you can

run the expensive face to these studies this is largely completely lacking here and that's why we found it because we really want to make it create awareness that this may be a fabulous importance also in the mid term we may have. therapeutics available already during this year and we want to get them to the patients very briefly tell me more about your drug and if it will actually get to the market. well i'm a i'm a c. all a public company i'm not supposed to make or our forward looking statements predicting the future i talk a little bit about our conviction about the mechanism that we are after and there we are the founders of this company and one of them we have 20 years in this title research so we do believe there's a chance that we can make it to the market otherwise we would have not started 3 street and you know it's a similar thing with vaccines there's always the risk that it doesn't work long term there's always

a risk that's not what we've taken the risk and we've seen phenomenal responses 1st once you're with a german company by on tech together with pfizer then what they're not in the us so why not also invest in therapeutics i mean if we have progress there it will make a whole lot of difference for effective patients and potentially also for future pandemics that's why i'm really advocating to put more funds to help therapeutics new therapeutics start a player x. to also make it into the clinic in florida played about thank you very much thank you very much for having. time for your questions on the coronavirus over to our science correspondent derrick williams. said the drug ivermectin being used to treat covert 19 patients this medication has been widely used in some parts of the world especially south america as a treatment for coated 19 despite the fact that evidence that it works is still not

convincing the bolivian government actually authorized it as a therapy back in may after a very theoretical and controversial study in april indicated that ivermectin might help against sars cove to the compound which is made by microorganisms that break down organic matter in the soil is a powerful tool in our pharmacological toolbox for getting rid of a wide range of nasty parasites among them head lice and intestinal pen more in fact the researchers who discovered the class of substances it belongs to one of the nobel prize for their work a few years ago there are dozens of ongoing trials looking at whether or not ivermectin could also be used to treat covert 19 but so far none of them have

provided the kind of clear cut evidence that national or international health authorities would require to recommend it published studies are at all odds with some showing no benefits or or even the coded 1000 patients who took the anti parasitic drug got worse while others reported improvements or or positive results like lower mortality rates in patients that took it the thing is for basically all of the studies published so far experts have complained about flaws in methodology so at the moment. at least i would continue to ignore any sensationalist online claims that ivermectin can cure or help cure a covert 19 and wait for more data from larger scale trials to come in pretty much all the through eddies are still issuing warnings not to take the compound for anything except what it's meant for to treat an infestation with parasites and and

also just stick to the prescribed doses for that if their advice changes i'll let you know here. and just briefly officials are deploying dogs to sniff out covert infections in some schools in italy the company the trains them says it was able to get their canine companions up to speed in a few weeks hundreds of students and teachers at this high school headed over mosques for testing adults managed to signal 5 out of 260 texts. thanks for watching. their car the ghosts of her. 1720 imprisoned in pakistan's largest psychiatric hospital not all of them suffer from mental illness they are victims of domestic violence discarded by society and

there are many reasons. and there are many alternatives to. make up your own mind. made for minds. ok. thanks. thanks thanks. thanks i.

use a lot sometimes i get so angry. as does the screaming like a crazy woman. i can sometimes feel the rage welling up inside then i just want to end it all. join us 12345678912 years of missed. that's how long i've been here. you call them in their time i feel like i'm suffocating the drains overflow and it all flows into the building you can hardly brain. size when we live in such crowded conditions disease spreads quickly that i with what i saw us get on the anger grows are. they with their own down there were no.

decisions being stuck behind these walls for 12 years. she can see the sky. only truth about. the building isn't one of the poorest districts of north. complex the resembles a prison. the women here live behind. it. looted salutes and ideas go round and round free the mind. to be a decent it is the largest psychiatric facility in asia. be a decent nation is a welfare organization that can be seen all of the pakistan in many areas it's taken over the responsibilities of the states. foundation runs orphanages maternity

wards ambulance services along with facilities like this one a hospital come shelter for women. 15 years ago there were 400 women even here. now there are 1700. every evening as the light fades the volunteers staff prepare for new arrivals. i thought she is a city of 20000000 people a monster and this evening the monster was spit out another woman that nobody wants . i thank. god she's around

cheese huge it's a dangerous city for young girls and for women especially their thanks. to sushi years mohammad belove has driven through the docking streets of the city every night. oh they are laid out here they are a big easy going to hear that there's a woman wandering around on the. her own at night we immediately take her off the street and bring her back to the center because it's very dangerous for a woman to be on her own at the train or bus station or even at the police stations to shut the pop there while they sit here they charge us a. lot of the dodgy shit that the women that we find out on the streets of karachi may be suffering from mental illness or they may have been rejected by their families or

they were beaten and fled. i don't know what it is. be a bit of it i just got a call from the police base picked up a young girl got it. he's the g.c. officer there. wasn't even our little you know. he's everything ok. he's that the girl here sat alone once you name it and i left. cindy she doesn't speak sending her only posh till. her name is carried out. she

says she comes from shah town. but i call the police there and no one knows her or has reported her missing. it's very late so we called you at least she'll be safe with you. men she seems a bit bewildered a lot of attempts that's why she got lost is this all your lives that there are said. she. yes just that there's 2 possibilities either she wandered off from her family or her parents threw her around jobs we don't know yet which is. full. i. take back. the last. of the read it doesn't really understand what's

happening to right now. in pakistan people with psychological problems is seen as a burden to their families so many just want to give it a few. days but you're going up the stairs from either she can sleep here in the center calm like you like and i got a 1st she'll have something to eat then she can have a bath and we'll give her some clean clothes all day yesterday i let her sleep 1st and then in the morning after breakfast we'll try to find her parents but as i get a car that. is tied to cases man. but in cases like hers the parents really turn up the are very few come to collect their children it would be

a miracle if they came that most of these girls end up staying here and grow up here a lot of possibly without it's quite possible that we'll look for a husband for her one day. i may see how they got the loveliest i got about how to . split up. mohamed takes her with him. thanks ira. i was . i. was. just at 1st i cried every day on the way home from work. i and everyone said i should

give up my job but i didn't want to be i believe god has chosen me to care for the poorest of the poor of all things he. talked in a scene he spent a quarter of his life in news car doors. she runs the center she's all too familiar with how society in general seems so crazy people i hear disorders as she. does go to the families in pakistan have no idea about mental health problems so they don't want to consult a doctor in the genes for it and yet these conditions could be treated right from early on as soon as the 1st symptoms emerged the doc to. start the war was up that ladder was released but a depressed or mentally ill sister or wife is considered a disgrace and so it's to be. true. that

lately i'm not very unhappy said never again i believe they remember what they shouted at the on air they are left out that was. when they turn aggressive the family started get down it's sometimes they find no solution a bomb got that he was and then they get even more aggressive the women break things their restless. hit out at others threaten to kill them and so people bring them to us. the generals in general are bonded sometimes they arrive in chains or throats tied round their hands and feet and the but those are the only one though i did i was i was my god i don't live in a model and there are no there are 2 categories of patience. it war

2 firstly there are those with genetic conditions. and they have congenital defects so they're born with it months of mentoring who. was all. and then there are women who are quite normal soon but they were subjected to abuse who has been so mother in laws hippie of them pass a lot of them up on mistreated them in some other way. and that gradually drives them insane. that was. doing it years boggle did they just reach a point where they can't cope with the abuse and they develop a personality disorder is this all and in the end they can't be kept at home anymore as he would. have a. challenger

to hera. and only leaving or. if. i had taken her tablets yeah that's what he taking an antidepressant. a feeling better or do you still feel depressed has your father visited you know of the good he's never been not even once so ok. that. i know my lumbar plan that day i woke up packed a few things i got in the car and came straight here over to get a new car does my. dad drove a. man know my name is here i'm a force

a mother that my father locked me up here 2 years ago because of depression. who committed depression. will believe he doesn't want to take you back i know that so i talked to him on the phone a year ago he promised he would come and get me a bob help me go back home again bob you need to convince your father to come and get you he brought you here only he can get you out call them and let me talk to him go up to him. about that or you will let you talk to him before a year ahead of up go but only if you want i'll call him again. and if he comes to get you no problem then you can go to the most local. field are you still waiting for that call it's our only chance of getting out of here. she's 31 years old but she can only leave if a member of the family agrees to it. the same applies to women. all

of them hope to leave sponsor a perceived treatment and become stabilized again. oh my the boss this is not smart husband brought her here in 2003 short i'm not about that for the past 10 years she's not had a single visitor here probably neither would i be of use walk today as she's been insisting on it and because she's more stable now and we have her address we going to try taking her home sorry mr trowbridge made out that. it now was issued while there. he says now is issue. father brought her here in 2006 and said she was 6

weeks later yards or out he said this is my daughter keep her here at the center and give her treatment. oh you'd be dogged by their duty is for jr made out a mission to iraq you are expected when there. was. a lot of detail a divination i needed my family beat me and didn't give me any food. it is that they hit me and threw me on the phil. mudd and by this war they beat me with everything they could find to show his mistakes. made us i am sensitive i really i couldn't take it any more i started my horses. i was doing really badly they were very difficult times for me. then they want on the negative. and if they start beating her again. that's my

biggest fear but that was 12 years ago now it will be different today maybe they'll take me back and not hit me anymore. plus i have 2 boys they have big now they'll protect me. they cling on to hope that things have changed now that life outside will be different now. better in some way. and match mark could be making the most important cheney of their lives. how about i don't know is this here do you remember.

that effect and do you recognize the house come alive of. you wait here for us. yet that democracy you know knowledge maam. monkee oh no i don't know her legit this is not why did you say you don't know her. this is not muslim mother enjoying her mother's indoors thank you thank you the mother now then admits she does know her like. are you crying. out loud that you can come and sit with your mother or learn something about. her was that image of a woman asked another issue of snatch not to stay. oh no i don't play much

she can't afford it with me and we should take her back with are still in a year but they're living here with the family of her husband and her mother in law wants to give it a try but she says they'll keep her if she behaves well if not they'll send her back to one of her wapas obviously he said the children. will but. if i'm on the job to highlight i think. we'll send her back in a few days and by whoppers on this. they want to keep out of all that that that should never never. let. on to another district and more narrow streets. this was once when a seizure. and everything looks different now.

always it is to memory playing tricks. on leaks but there are so many cars. like them like in real houses every way i would like. a gun i didn't recognize my own neighborhood anymore. there's not much fun it's been 10 years since i came here. to turn into a nearby town fun my hands it's difficult to make. solid on fellow weenie number 144 look find the most of it. no one's really sure when t's. escape is her address is incomplete the

one in her papers is wrong this is the body i think oh yeah but you are going to use that. oh. week leaving. i have the feeling i'm never going to go home again. that is so sad. and i forgotten the address just one week. and now i'm back here again being. just like you see 3 quarters of the women that they try to return and end up back at the same time.
