was the money left on this tight. for to the final score a result that leaves the visitors title hopes in tatters and shows dortmund's powers that be just what marco can do. while you're up to. teamhair him take care of. the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. has the rate of infection been developing what does the latest research say. information and contacts around a virus update. on d w. d q you know that 77 percent. are younger than 6. that's me and me and you. and you know what it's time all

voices. on the 77 percent issue. this is where you cut. the 77 percent this weekend on g.w. . experts hailed the coronavirus vaccines as one of humanity's greatest achievements . it took a matter of moms as opposed to years or decades but we're still in uncharted territory. we know way 33 seniors died after being an okie lated against code 19 authorities are investigating whether there was a link. there's been the audi's you in the past with other vaccines. that's why the

world is setting up monitoring systems watching out for side effects that may not have been seen in big clinical trials. still hopes are high that this is the best vaccine in history. it's a race between injections and infections and israel is winning it's an ok lated a quarter of its population scientists are closely watching to see how effective the vaccine is when given to an entire population and checking to see if it's safe . this basketball stadium in tel aviv is now a vaccination center people under the age of 35 are already being immunized here while older residents are getting their 2nd jam. the vaccines are being administered in record time by untucked pfizer is delivering millions of doses in return the pharma companies are receiving valuable data that allows them to measure the efficacy of their product. i mean i don't have

a problem with the data agreement or pursuit and i don't feel like i'm part of an experiment. we're leading the world on vaccinations and israel offers the right kind of infrastructure. it's israel's health care system with its universal insurance that makes the country so interesting to biotech visor. insurance companies allocate doctors to patients streamlining the vaccination program. the digitalized and centralized nature of data collection has created a treasure trove of readily available information. if one wants to understand how a real world rollout of a vaccine program impacts public health then israel with the digital health repositories and it's very strong with the logical capabilities and it's very good outreach of public health and clinical health to all of the citizens is probably an ideal place to do that. the main objective is to find out at what stage the

vaccination drive achieves herd immunity and to figure out ways to get there fast the data used in the research has been made anonymous but that hasn't stopped critics from sounding the alarm people are saying what's the problem with anyone anonymize data and the problem is that anonymous data medical data today can be transferred to be non anonymized if you have the right tools and the right technology we want to have a kind of an offer sides experts that will make sure that this data is that going to be exploited later by 3rd party. prime minister benjamin netanyahu has him for sized that the findings will benefit the rest of the world. but his prime focus is the impact that the vaccination program is having in israel itself. you know we will be the 1st country to defeat the pandemic. the deal i have struck with pfizer of i was just to vaccinate everyone above 16 by the end of march.

that's. the ambitious target coincides with parliamentary elections which netanyahu is hoping to win but while the number of vaccinations are shooting up so too are infections a race against time that israel is determined to win. still we don't know how long immunity lusts and if there are long term effects let's look at the immediate effects with all of heaven from the german association of research based pharmaceutical companies i asked him what i should do if i get a headache fatigue or other symptoms after the injection well it's absolutely normal to have some trans the mild reaction to a vaccination like the ones you've mentioned all raised temperature for a while this sort of thing so if you experience that you're probably don't have to do anything but just wait for a moment if it's longer last thing or if it's small sivia the best thing all

the important thing to do is really report it to the doctor and make sure that you know all possible side effects get reported to the authorities what would be more severe or serious side effects that and force are regulated to say act. well if they are. if they are more prolonged really they don't go away. of coals they really have to react to reports when they're. when the symptoms need of little treatment or if they are in some way really threatening i say this is all being monitored but what about in countries where there's no reliable safety monitoring going on. they used to be a pretty huge problem but that's been progress in recent years the double.

world health organisation has work. to do to create so-called mad safety app that's an app that can be used on mobile phones. this enables everyone to report side effects and so because many even who are a country's now days have mobile phone networks this is really a way call to spread. reporting system even results poor settings mr can you tell me the people being monitored have got that same being given the vaccine are they also being checked to see that they don't get sick and pos on the virus. this is checked this is part of the clinical trials to find out but it's not as easy to find this out as it is

to see if people get symptomatic of it 19 a lot so it takes longer to find out and part of finding out is all of calls to see if when you vaccinate people in the search and region does this decrease they've pandemic mole that is just explained from having people fall themselves immune to the virus in the meantime some of us are going to have to wait a long time to get this vaccine i mean shouldn't i just wait and see how it goes with other people. well the diseases than. the virus spreading keeps spreading keeps mutating and ways see new versions of the virus which are probably even more easy to contract so for everyone who has the opportunity to get a vaccination this is certainly

a much better option than having the risk of getting infected so i don't have to pay for. well in germany in the european union. the governments pay all the vaccinations. and various countries outside e.u. this is also the case of calls doesn't apply to every country in the world. they're from the german association of research based pharmaceutical companies let's take a quick look at what is the 1st photo of kofi 2 until now images of the microscopic menace that's plagued the world being computer generated models but not these technicians at a graphics a spinoff from b. and his technical university have used 3 d.

technology to scan the virus and then color it gives us the most detailed view yet researchers hope it will help them fight the disease more effectively as the actual shapes of the particles and now clearer than before credible something so little and pretty cause so much trouble. and if that's not enough to fascinate you maybe derek williams will is his daddy segment answering your questions on the correct virus. how does the pfizer buy on tech vaccine work. i've answered this before but the question is posed it again and again so i guess it's maybe time to go over the details again 2 of the vaccines that have now opened widely approved one developed by biotech and pfizer and one produced by my dear no are what are called a messenger r.n.a. or already a vaccine now the technology behind them has been the focus of a lot of research for decades but but this is the 1st time they've received

widespread approval from health care authorities unlike vaccines based on traditional platforms ones that for example use. inactivated versions of the virus of the biotech pfizer vaccine leads to an immune response of the body by delivering information in the form of a special molecule messenger r.n.a. m.r. a name molecules are our single stranded chains of what are called nucleotides that fulfill a very important function in cells they're kind of the blueprints for making proteins and act as messengers between cells headquarters in the nucleus and it's protein building factories out in the side a possum and hence the name but the protein these new m.r. and they vaccines include for isn't a human one it's a protein made by the corona virus and when that m r n

a is injected it causes your cells to begin making that viral protein and that viral protein provokes an immune response just as if you caught covert 19 sending in the pretty simple quick to produce m r n a code molecules to make these complicated proteins and getting the body to do the work is a great solution to a complex problem and and there are high hopes that m.r. any vaccines which seemed to have finally come into the road are now set to revolutionize a range of fields in medicine. finally even in a pandemic is romance a british couple who were critically ill with the virus has married on the code ward elizabeth and fiance simon of bryan her abilene striver was so sick the office told them it might be there any chance to tie the knot both are still receiving

china is promising its partners bridge. but in europe there's a sharp morning whoever except money from the new superpower will become dependent on it china's gateway to your. starts feb 19th d. w. . we're all consumers this shop till you drop culture originated in the industrial revolution when mass production and out goods to be manufactured in large quantities. product design emerged as a new discipline with goods adapted in accordance with the tastes of the era but the results haven't always been attractive practical all safe there have been some real design disasters. welcome to tomorrow today the science program on d

w. it's a well known fact that germans love their cars for decades they've been more than just a mode of transport their design has changed with the times to attract buyers by years who were nearly always men in this high octane world the needs of women are still often disregarded. and. the world we live in is one very much more he entered toward men resulting in what is known is the gender data gap crash tests use male dummies meaning the results are biased. traffic accident experts show us the dummies usually deployed in such tests. this facility

has just one female dummy and she is designed to sit on the passenger seat once the figure has the dimensions of a 12 year old so has little in common with your typical real. world woman i know. who leaked it to me to go the average woman would be considerably taller and heavier forever about 15 kilos heavier and 15 centimeters taller than the dummy we have here but all of my install say in the real world vehicle occupants vary greatly in height and shape but the most commonly used dummy is an average science man one meter 77 tall and weighing 80 kilos. or new regulations do not yet stipulate including female dummies and crash tests he could for our tickets there's no dummy representing the average woman that is so

crash tests are not representative. even though i statistics show that women have a higher risk of injury than men in an identical accident. their. previous research has shown that women are almost 50 percent more likely to suffer serious injury in a car crash. only a few tests are conducted with a female mini dummy which in europe is restricted to the passenger seat while a male dummy is that the real. but women have a 3 times higher risk of suffering whiplash than men. with all good with me here you can see the woman sits far further forward. she's a lot closer to the airbag and practically goes under it. whiplash occurs with a far higher number of women. one factor are the neck muscles which are

weaker than with men. and women are generally lighter. skinned a lot of features designed to provide protection from rear end collisions do not take women into account. not taking women into account is sadly an all too familiar story. and the gender data gap is by no means limited to crash tests it comes up in practically all areas of life. in offices the standard temperature is secured to men which can be as much as 5 degrees celsius too low for women. in supermarkets the top shelves are often too high for women to reach. for restrooms because women sit to your own age and are perhaps more likely to have a child with them they tend to take longer. but for some reason women specifically

it's are no bigger than those provided for. for men leading to constant lines. a problem that professor alexander canuck and switzerland does not need statistics to be convinced. he's that long you know it's a real drag at the movies the ladies restrooms are always crowded during the break them on the man they can just pop in and out but we have to queue up for ages and might miss the start of the film. she takes us along on a little tour around town where the gender gap is evident and all kinds of places. sidewalks that are far too narrow for strollers as mostly experienced by women while pedestrian lights are time for individual crossers. mang the back. of you might have children with you who are a bit slower. or a fish. and if you're pregnant too you might need longer to make it across the

street. timing they use the standard is based on men. cannot and her team at the circular versity of applied sciences have created a simulation with virtual reality goggles the aim is to visualize what a city of tomorrow might look like a city better accommodated to women and their specific needs. this simulation shows a city of the future. on the mobility front it's not cause that to dominant people. the moans and for the growing state. of virtual city more attuned to women statistics show that a majority of pedestrians and users of public transport are women whether on their way to work shopping or doing the school run that's

a factor that needs to be incorporated in future urban planning. this is their pick for knowledge in how male dominated planning and development teams are they question a different perspective would really help their working world. instead of cementing the gender data gap we're currently seeing we could be building cities for the future that would be fair for everyone from the nb or were. a fairer world to something this man also wants to see. accident researcher mark. is a member of the european union project that uses virtual models. trying to resolve this dilemma of manufacturers being unable to cover all body sizes and female dummies. our solution is to take the whole thing into the virtual world and construct models there. those models and without doubt. and in the process create

an average woman for a car crash female models are now being computer generated for future virtual tests creating physical expensive tests the virtual equivalent is far cheaper also opening up new opportunities. which. you call a neighbor. i can adapt the model to have weaker muscles and a different weight or height to have the end atomico features of a woman. in the virtual world i can completely close the gap with dummies. the ultimate aim is to improve safety for women on the road although as is so often the case it might take years for the new virtual tests to translate into real

progress for women. shows up in other fields as well because for example often tested mainly on. the fact that they could have a totally different effect on women is completely overlooked. personalized medications could offer a solution even efforts underway to print them. from nigeria wanted to know more about 3 d. printing. can 3 d. printers print everything the answer is almost everything shoes. i think even footbridges and motorcycles are no problem for modern 3 d. printers. they've been used in manufacturing for over 40 years.

these ingenious to. ice is no longer need to print using plastic power. nowadays sand dough. aluminum and other metals are also relatively easy to form into new shapes. but how do these marvelous machines actually work. it's worth mentioning that not all 3 d. printers are the same. they operate in a variety of ways. but they're all based on the same principle and similar to classic printers instead of in so molten materials or spray from a nozzle on to a base the computer controlled nozzle follows a preprogramed 3 d. track to build up the object layer by layer. 3 d. printers are also used for medical purposes. for example they can be used to make prosthetics which can be tailored to meet the needs of the individual user.

3 d. printer technology is still a long way from reaching maximum potential it's still very much in development. but it may not be long before the question which shoes should i wear to the opera tonight can be answered by turning on your printer. did you know that modern 3 d. printers can produce entire houses. this is a printing building project in a village in southern germany. printing houses is still relatively new so it remains to be seen how robust they are and whether they could rival the likes of the medieval castle in our next report which has certainly stood the test of time. where in southern germany in the very end alex to visit what's left of one firebag continent. man's bad and.

on a rather unusual photo shoot here. they were the ones that wanted we're going to use our drone to capture images of the castle to see whether it has any wake spots that could make it unstable but. first they take a look around on foot and their research is a making a close inspection of the masonry to see where it might pose a danger to visit has. now it's time for the drove to get to work its task is to shoot photos from all possible angles.

each individual photo is just a normal snapshot what makes the difference is the large number of images from so many different perspectives. and yet speak to the want to hear hear the drone is coming from one angle and now we're going to take the same point from a slightly different angle and where these 2 lines of sight intersect we can plot the point in space we don't just do that for one point but for millions of points that gives us a cloud of points that enables us to generate a 3 d. model of. the cloud of points can be used as the basis for a widely used calculation method the object is divided up into small segments like a puzzle the properties of each one a calculated allowing conclusions to be made about the entire building but the munich research has have added another element that revolutionizes the price. yes.

man and look at the you take aaron constructed around the object and then you have a much simpler structure which once again you can divide up into cubes and you just give each material point its corresponding property for example air was soft and stone is hard and with this simple trick you can easily depict very complex structures to talk to and for. the researches include the new domain they've created around the object in their calculations it's as if they packed it in a box they then calculate the transition from soft surroundings to the hard structure that defines the surface of the object and gives information about its stability. they want to use the new method to determine the stability of historical monuments and other objects of cultural significance like the statues displayed in munich's get to take museum.

how stable are these historical works of art. when might they need to be restored. their researches have taken many photos of this statue. again they put it in its virtual packaging and then analyzed its stability the problems seen in red is in the area of the ankle. the research is aimed to coax a wealth of invisible information out of the images. of course you can simply look at the statue and try to see whether it's going to hold but we want to look inside of me i love you boy you know and charm our aim is to discover more in the image than is visible with the naked eye because now we can. change insights can be a big tourist draw. unstable arches ok. columns could pose

a danger to the public. the researches have already analyzed the cistern of the i.r. to club basilica in southern turkey back in the 1960 s. one of its columns broke and had to be replaced with a concrete one. the scientists followed the usual steps 1st the clown just point then packaging it in a box this revealed lines of strain in the systems vaults. their analysis shows that the columns still stable but under considerable tension. the munich scientists new procedure can even be applied in the medical sector it's intended to help doctors diagnose problems because mechanical stress occurs in the human body too in the area of the spine for example. so if i'm clear that's very good common skin always are with this calculation and this stuff on coleman's back

i can tell us exactly where forces are acting which are the vertebrae are under more strain. and if we can simulate therapies it might be possible to change them to ease the pressure on the particular spinal disc and relieve the patients pain but we can just tell by looking at the images we need these biomechanical calculations ready. here you can see how much strain is being put on each vertebra the number vertebrae can be stabilized with screws to help. dangerous stresses can be identified before the operation. even fractures seen here in red can be calculated. in the meantime the scientists have assessed the data relating to the bavarian castle are its walls stable or are they in danger of collapsing. the calculation show that this large opening in the masonry is stable. and

they can sound the all clear here too the tower that looks like a hollow 2 is also safe. that just leaves the leaning wall. and i think there was concern that it might topple over but the research shows that the leading wall of horn firebag is secure although only because it's made of stone the researchers can simulate what might happen if it were made of another material if it were built with loam for example it would fall over. the skin on a short we've taken a very close look at this and there are a few points where you might think that stability is in danger but the entire structure is solid because on the bottom nevertheless it's interesting to analyze

it would seize new methods as my little hill in the corner i'm trying to get. the reception's conclusion the ruin is stable no part is at risk of collapse. and the view from a hole in 5 back castle is really stunning. it's not only buildings that need to be durable comparatively speaking our head is almost as strong as steel a single human hair can carry around 100 grams of weight that's due to the head structure. it's in a most layer contains the soft medusa which is surrounded by several layers of twisted carrots and the same material that makes about fingernails. finally the alsa cuticle has scaly cells that function like the bark of

a tree head as wool can keep us warm but wool doesn't have to come from sheep. francisco studies textile technology and she's on a quest for sustainable fibers she's all too familiar with the lasting legacy of the fast fashion industry. 3rd again in mr i prefer to not produce the plastic waste of tomorrow i'd rather produce textiles that customers appreciate and that don't need 300 years to break down. and i'm not so. and that means avoiding the synthetic fibers that are key to fast fashion but some natural fibers like cashmere angora and mohair are also taboo for their production involves clean sheets animals and an enormous amount of resources. she then met on ca tween sherlock the brooklyn based fashion designer had an idea that might have sounded

bizarre to most people but francisco was convinced right away as i was watching my mother come to hear of her 2 long haired dogs and something just clicked after that i decided right away that i wanted to use their software to make yarn and it worked . like a couple. only certain breeds of dogs like this summer yet have the undercard beneath the top layer of hair it has to be come down regularly when their coats change in the spring they shed huge amounts of hair from their under coats the majority of which ends up in trash cans the 2 women now want to use this dog hair and pee people to collect it for them under no circumstances would they want to promote the idea of some kind of industrial farm. the textile engineer is thrilled by the quality of the dog's hair. the plan is now to chat into a germany wide network of dog owners and breeders so that they can acquire the

amount of care they need. they found a spinning mill to transform the dog hair into yarn 1st the raw material has to be washed which is easier than with sheep's wool for example due to its lower fat content. what temperature do you use on your dog's 1242 degrees celcius status. shion gora as it's called is already being stocked in some shops mixed with other hand-made wools sales will tell the jew innovators how well dogs will might catch on. this is the new color dark brown it's from collie in black a parka. matters and that's not to tell the 1st people say what dog hair no way we tell them it's no different from sheep fall out of each of course they ask if it smells when it's wet so we say no it's not perfectly normal you can just give it a quick squeeze perfectly normal it's good. so they buy it.

but there's a long way to go from handmade wool bought by harvey knitters to a resource for the clothing industry. we've already spoken with companies and it's always important to keep contact to find out what customers need from us because we're developing the product. and hung them for some time and when they say ok come back to us once you can produce 15 tons well that's a big difference from supplying to hand in hers we're producing 200 or 400 kilograms is enough. whether the results from the average her college can be transferred to the industrial processes remains to be seen fortunately the duo are getting funds from development programs. feedback from the 1st customers who've been processing the wool professionally is

especially helpful one well known designer from the sustainable fashion scene is using dog hair for some of her new items. i've brought along samples of her new industrial yarn we're now able to spin it so fine that we can use it in industrial knitting machines. total perhaps a great combination so it has a vitality that gives it a high quality and this goes with it wonderfully because it looks so elegant with the down. and i. know what i was an early adopter of shango and what i saw right away that it was a concept i'd like to use in my work because it's made from a material that would otherwise be thrown away it's also produced locally which is just wonderful but i think the challenge in the beginning was that it shed a bit you either get used to that old or just don't wear black which is quite

difficult for a designer. we don't know what up. there is the issue of how customers like it i made a sample that i will for test purposes i'm really curious to see how people will respond to the idea of wearing. the yarn from dog hair would revolutionize the wool industry but it could raise more awareness of alternative and sustainable textiles. if album is right why aren't i a movie reviewer. do you have a science question you'd like us to answer i. didn't. know if we featured on this show you get a little surprise from us as a thank you. come on just ask. the most science stories check out our website d w dot com slash science or look for us on twitter.
