a small number of wesley jews had been living in shanghai since the 19th century the community supported the european jews who fled to santa in the late 1930 s. some took the weeks long journey by ship from italy. some went by train through russia on the transceiver and brave way to vladivostok and further on crossing the sea from japan to china. during the darkest period of human history when jews were very few of your 0000000000000 jewels really not to germany. after world war 2 most of the jews left china but in recent years the communities started growing again i i must say this is perhaps one of the very few places in the world that when you walk on the streets and hear 2 people behind saying in the local one this person is jewish.

2:36 pm
is billed as an indian version of house of cards. for. political corruption. and then nepotism are nothing new to india showing them like this in a t.v. series it definitely is. since i was a ploy. to be a show that. had been hammered in my skull. the yawning gap between india's rich and poor is the focus of the white tigers netflix had a patient of the booker prize winning novel by oregon. i've been dominated by i drove the car. but over. the. limit me sending.

2:39 pm
think the mediums have sort of me think when you look at that future but how moscow is this is the consumption of these sort of firms i mean is it still is netflix still very much a niche commodity in india or has it expanded enough to become what we call a mosque their product. i don't think netflix is nice anymore in fact just last year alone. they were sharp explanations are of course that. it hasn't had any direction and there's no apathy in the. open source any. case as much but i did i didn't catch up lose your lead us especially but i mean went on and on and on that and the late. i don't want a nice anymore if you really wanted to be. asked me.

2:42 pm
as breaking down moves she's determined to break down stereotypes in full specific sions called all of us down not many girls in this profession i want my name to be known as a good athlete in afghanistan not for people to kami a dancer i want people to know that this is not a dance but a sport you know before i miss you. but that's a dangerous attitude in afghanistan where the taliban is gaining more influence many in the country belief sport should just be reserved for men. most of what they say be a muslim and dancing in afghanistan is a sin because it is a muslim country. you don't have even threatened and said if we find you we will cut you into pieces. despite your threats many she and her teammates have high hopes breakdown single be added as an m.p. exports at the perry scales in 2024. what. we have 4

2:45 pm
women or their keep you've gotten actually taking a public boat is not an ideal condition for distribution of thanks scenes or drugs . but it's just not safe to carry vaccines in crowded conditions. from my past. and the country's vaccination campaign is highly controversial it prioritizes younger people over the elderly. the government argues that they make up the bulk of the country's workforce that the breadwinners. critics say they're more vulnerable could lose out. indonesia's top $1000000.00 coronavirus cases and to clamp down on the soaring infectious rate it's launched one of the world's biggest vaccine drives but its strategy is contentious. the 1st shot in indonesia is national vaccination program president joko widodo getting the jab
2:46 pm
to inspire confidence among citizens but the plan is already controversial as a prioritises younger people over the elderly even influencers have been put at the front of the law and they include research saraswati a singer and writer who's been vaccinated since last week. you know you will so i. have and along with health protocols vaccination is one of the best solutions to the pandemic i had up see the limit in your box so i hope that with vaccination people who lost hope last year due to inaction and neglect will regain their excitement. and join the vaccination dr says he would head up on a lot of the little bieber smiling. but older people are less than joyous the vaccine hasn't even been tested on them yet although recent data shows that people over 60 in indonesia are nearly 20 times likelier to die of cove at 19 than young
2:47 pm
people also have the loss and it's boring just staying at home when i was only the vaccine will be made available to the elderly soon had and a column we're getting now i hope that apart from protecting themselves and their young people who have been vaccinated that will also protect the elderly and children who have not been vaccinated. the government justifies its vaccination priorities largely on economic grounds. we see that the majority of these young people are those who carry out economic activities in supporting their families they are actors in economic activities so we prioritize those aged 18 to 59. meanwhile the elderly tend not to do activities outside the home because they are not the backbone of the family's
2:48 pm
economy. yet the vaccination scheme has sparked debate in the community a story you see i do not agree the reason is because the elderly are the ones who need it more on the other things though you like you agree because there is no vaccine for the elderly. i don't think i agree because the older ones are more vulnerable than young people. and on the watch the health ministry says the elderly can expect to start being vaccinated in march or april when the buy in tech pfizer and astra zeneca oxford vaccines arrive. so what happens to the elderly while they wait what happens if they catch it i pose that question to dr hunter upon how to put on who's based on bond. so they have 1st they have to stay at home and. you know this dancing and also they have the cancer of the company in a levy. our health care system that's ready to. i guess it's easier to
2:49 pm
keep an elderly person at home rather than a young person but what makes you think this is the right strategy when the rest of the world is taking on a very different approach because then the number of. arrive in the 1st phase is very very short and also that the number of the proportion of the 3 in indonesia is low compared to other country and also we have the crises in the healthcare system that we have to keep our work or for us we're already seeing case numbers fall in some countries as a result of their vaccination campaigns is your country already seeing results. not yet or all that said it all be just. one week ago and then. also the number has a very small proportion so we haven't like see any you know any the crease of the
2:50 pm
number of the coffee 1000 indonesia how much does logistics play a pot here i know it's very different difficult to distribute the vaccine in indonesia. right now we have 3000000. workers and we have to pull. all of this and then from provincial health of israel distribute to the hospital and also the. indonesia. is hot and what about resistance among indignation is that a difficult task i know indonesia was the 1st outside of china to approve an emergency code 1000 vaccine developed by the chinese drug make a scene of iraq despite its low effectiveness does that worry people. it is it is a big problem here indonesia has a stand on the the general population but also how the workers but this is the
2:51 pm
thing that the government has you. take a pension and then try to. see from me from the guy from the people of indonesia and the other factor that could see some resistance what about how loud vaccines because of your large muslim population. so the hollow is in indonesia especially for the muslims of all the facts seen that we have to take as i should be possibly the certification from the muslim council so all the fact scenes should have tested by this organisation. thank you very much for joining us today. picking up on the point of efficacy all those numbers can be a little confusing it's in from our science desk decided to take a look at some of the rights and the history of that. we've heard a lot about the efficacy rates of covert 19 vaccines u.s. pharma firm adarna says it's covert 19 vaccine is 94.5 percent effective. pfizer
2:52 pm
biotech code 19 vaccine has an advocacy of 95 percent of final. russian sputnik view coronavirus vaccine trial shows encouraging results but what does this mean in light of the history of fixings let's explain the 1st ever vaccines for smallpox it was introduced in 796 the disease was then declared eradicated nearly 2 centuries later in 1900 and the vaccine was 95 percent effective in preventing small pox measles 97 percent effective but in spite of the strong maxime measles continues to spread looking at you and effectors polio has nearly been eradicated and the vaccine is 99 percent effective the flu vaccine is a tricky one as the virus mutates regularly so people have to get flu shots every year to help protect against the most common strains generally the effectiveness of
2:53 pm
the flu shot hovers around 50 to 60 percent when scientists started work on covert 916 so the world health organization said one accept a vaccine efficacy of just 50 percent so with these reason phase 3 clinical trial results showing vaccines that have north of 90 percent efficacy of move was to be hopeful about well yes but that's neither here but just because the results have been good so far that doesn't mean we can instantly go back to life as we know it not everyone will be able to get vaccinated that includes people whose immune systems are compromised or weakened by existing conditions and it will take a while to get vaccines. everyone can be vaccinated so now after the actual death and thing at the way it's going to be for a while yet. and now over to our science correspondent eric williams he's been looking into your questions on the coronavirus. british strain off
2:54 pm
19 really more deadly. last week the british prime minister caused quite a stir when at a press conference he led with this in addition to spreading more quickly it also appears there is some evidence the new variant the very that was 1st identified in london in the southeast may be associated with a higher degree of mortality the announcement was based on an assessment made by a group of scientists who advised the british government they'd examined new studies and called the idea that the variant was more dangerous a realistic possibility that even put a number on that around 30 to 40 percent more deadly to clarify what that means exactly an official used the example of 60 year old man and those who today are infected with earlier versions of the virus around 10 out of
2:55 pm
a 1060 year old men die if it were 30 percent more deadly the new variant would kill 13 of those men the thing is a lot of experts including the ones at the press conference by the way they've been reminding people that the estimate is still based on some pretty preliminary data and and also horribly complex surrounding factors not least the fact that of course we're pretty sure now the variant discovered in the u.k. is is more transmissible earlier ones and of course higher transmissibility will also lead to it killing more people simply because more people will catch it. and perspective is also important even if the new variant does turn out to be somewhat more deadly it's still unlikely to prove to be as lethal as the original virus
2:56 pm
was at this time last year because back then we knew a lot less about how to treat covert 19 now we're able to save a lot more of the people who end up developing severe disease. i think more every day williams there i've been fizzling thank you very much for watching stay safe and else you again very soon your w. a but.
