and also if we can move so we can achieve maximum production. with demand for outdoor products soaring the swedish retail institute named storm cookers as the holiday gift of the year. the title is taken quite seriously since the late 1980 s. a market research company has analyzed which products are trending well in sweden you see up on her not to stand. in the better you see this new trend towards nature shops selling sporting and outdoor gana during good business at a time when many others are doing far worse it's symbolic of the times we're living in we have a. keiser and her 3 children have decided to get outdoors whenever they can this winter it doesn't matter whether they prepare the food at home or out in the open air they tell us but somehow it tastes especially good when made on that little stove and that helps them get through this difficult time with a smile. it's been 2 decades

since the cost of a conflict though it remains an open wound there are still many people missing the quarry in close to the serbia kossovo border is the site of a recently discovered mask raith identifying the bodies is extremely difficult both technically and emotionally are some good shall you has made it his mission to do just that he knows many relatives are still waiting for answers and for justice. this place hides a grim secret the quarry is in serbia not far from the border with kosovo after a long search a further mass grave was found here at the end of 2020 with victims from the cause of the war there were still 1600 people missing since the war most of them kosovo albanians. now seem to charlie you is the head of the institute of forensic

medicine in pristina he is always present with the remains of victims are recovered and have to be identified he says this is often difficult after more than 20 years . good or bad these remains found last week is that the clothes are intact. what's also very helpful is when there is a wedding ring or something similar. so the most are going to go to. the forensic scientist and his family also suffered terribly in the war he lost $33.00 relatives including a cousin and he's 8 children. he said himself a life starsky to identify the victims that are found he says that genetic comparisons can be very helpful but family members are not always willing to

cooperate because they find it so hard to accept the terrible truth. that some of the remains from the last war cannot be identified because there are families who don't want to give any blood for identification purposes if you even though we think that the dead are probably their relatives. these families still hope that their loved ones are alive and detained somewhere in serbia. he knows many families that are still looking for their relatives he says he finds it very difficult to inform people when the remains of their loved ones have been found. only. the 1st reaction of these families is completely understandable. when you bring them this news the scenes from $999.00 come alive again. many of

them saw they relatives being dragged away. and they relived the scenes today. not be continued. he drove with us to duck of each other a city in kosovo where hundreds of albanians were killed for don't each a cares he still lives here today the 2 have known each other for a long time she too will never get over her pain and today her house is almost like a museum on march 27th 1909 serbian police arrived and took away her husband and their 4 sons including the youngest edmundo who was only 14 that was the worst. when morgan apart. was on monday was sitting behind me and i said to him stand up the police are here. and they took all the men

and we're looking for one more and i said you've got 2 more and they said no we want another one. the bodies of 2 sons were found in 2005 the clothes of a 3rd were also found a 4th son and her husband are still missing. there were also serbian victims of the war natasha chip part of each is a serb from kosovo during the war she fled to belgrade but her parents refused to go with her they were killed a few days later on the 4th only before they start a little survey and that was the wrong decision but they didn't want to leave their home. in 2014 chapin of each founded the association of cause of our victims which tries to find out the truth about what happened to those missing on both sides. of the me about it's not important the times i mean and the others are our pain ians we united i are paying

grief is the same we want the same things we have the same goals but i know we want to find the remains of our poor relatives. but on. the will thora these estimate that the remains of another 250 victims still lie in the korea keesha back a lot of painstaking work lies ahead for us and get charlie you and the others they cannot take away the pain from the families but perhaps they can help some of them find a sense of closure by giving them the news that a victim has been identified. coral reefs hardly anyone who has seen them with their own eyes can escape their magic but around 40 percent of all corals worldwide have already perished in the netherlands is not trying to preserve their colorful splendor for posterity in

order to do so the zoo has created a gigantic in the small city of arnim marine biologists are happy with the project and so others it was the visitors they can finally get an answer to the question carl's actually plants or animals. like you know c.s. or tons of lighting equipment are used to the spotlight on the corals the real stars of the show. this research project and splashes of wondrous color unfolding here underwater bright green orange and yellow corals are striving here on europe's biggest artificial reef. marine biologist max and his team have created a sensation. here puffy it is just here we are doing the best we can to build for

corals we're using technology knowledge and scientific investigation to create the best habitat we can for the corals best gave them some of them to be. feeding them for example to deep researchers don't even know the half of exactly how corals function and this coral reef ecosystem at the zoo is giving many scientists hopes they can discover much more. we can learn a lot about species with d.n.a. testing but it's not just about the coral itself there are many more factors and that makes it very very complex. the biologists in arnhem are trying to gain a better understanding of the corals they want to find out how to help them survive long term in the wild. here in the great barrier reef in australia climate change is warming the ocean and causing the water to become hyper acidic. add the pollution and damage caused by fishing and the result is more frequent devastating

bleaching. was used to be i'm it's like a forest without animals if there's no forest then there's no forest animals it's the same with a coral reef if there are no corals then you don't have the other animals either reefs or the nurseries of the sea. that's why they're the main attraction of the underwater world at birth or zoo. the corals here grew more quickly and are healthier than in the wild. look i'd need a bit of it was a colony of corals actually thousands of animals living together in a kind of enormous sickly inside a common skeleton of this but no one really understands it because everyone looks for the eyes and mouths but you've got to explain these tiny animals with one orifice and little tentacles. and there are more than 14 sows in species of corals in the world most of them are threatened with extinction nevertheless fans still kidnap and smuggle them customs officials from all over

europe bring confiscated animals to max you answer like this rare soft corals must really push 1st had to go into quarantine. as shocked as shame that we still receive carl's taken from natural environments because for some corals it's not a problem but there are other carl species that have a really tough time in nature. returning the painstakingly revised corals back to the sea isn't an option at the moment because the conditions of the oceans are too poor it could ever eventually become possible when the water quality improves. until then in our home we'll keep mixing 16 gradients to make artificial pacific waters and the corals will continue to fascinate this ensures. that when they light the right will say belief that we need to shape people to beauty in our special things about this natural environment you can't love and protect something if you don't know about it. and the corals urgently need protection and if we want to

guarantee their survival into the future. that was focused on europe for this week thanks for watching take care and. the but. the but.

europe. starts feb 19th on d w. this is deja news live from berlin astra zeneca defends its corona virus vaccine saying it is effective for senior citizens as after german public health officials said they could not recommend the shots for people over the age of $65.00 due to insufficient data regulators are set to decide on friday whether to approve the vaccine for use in europe also coming up the growing unrest in lebanon as

protesters voice that anger at a strict current coronavirus lockdown that's making the country's economic crisis even worse. plus history unearthed in a blockbuster to watch great finds and carry mulligan star in a new film about an extraordinary archaeological find in the middle of england. i'm told me a lot of well welcome to the program europe's raw with drug maker astra zeneca has taken a new turn with questions now being asked over whether it's corona virus vaccine works for senior citizens the u.k. swedish company and british prime minister boris johnson say yes it does but public health experts here in germany say they can't recommend the vaccine for people over the age of 65 the vaccine community committee at germany's robert carr institute

says there is insufficient data to assess the drug's effectiveness in the elder. european regulators are set to decide whether to approve the shot for use in the e.u. on friday. let's bring in eric fi golding epidemiology just and science writer in washington eric it's good to have you on the program now we just want to get your view from that side of the atlantic because germany says it won't give the astra zeneca vaccine to over 60 five's but on the other side you have the u.k. where it's the vaccine of choice for the elderly in care homes and brazil's health regulator as well has only just approved it for elderly patients so maybe you can bring. give us a better understanding of who's right. right thank you for having me it is a very controversial topic there is evidence in phase 2 trials that tests your

immune response in terms of neutralizing the virus to you definitely was effective in the early as well as young people and so but then once you've gone through the phase 3 that the field trials it doesn't prevent the actual affection in the real world setting well how big it is there's very limited number of patients who are over the age of $65.00 enrolled in their trials and i my counter is only about $300.00 each and i looked at the most recently the one that the europeans. are going to review tomorrow and there's only one case in both vaccine of placebo and when you have only one case occurring because of so few number of people 30300 some 500-5000 in the younger groups you can't really make a disk in this conclusion and that's why the phase 3 we don't have us solid solid number of f. you can see but if you analyze everyone together. you know 18 to all the elderly

yes we does work just among subgroups it's more heart but at the same time if you just chop it down any question down to 40 or 45 year olds technically you don't have precise data or you far 5 year old you how if an overall population data so it's in might be a matter of how you're slicing did it too thin but i'm confident that we will there is efficacy and we just don't know for sure if you want to slice it that now or. just to be clear that you've got the various vaccines which attack the corona virus and in different ways does it seem likely that their effectiveness could vary depending on the age group. it's possible in the past you know that some vaccines often hunt work less well known ultimately but for them a term in fines or perhaps scenes we know that really was just as effective and especially a month for severe disease which is what was most important but in for was only

there were digits in the roll enough but if you analyze it overall from eating through you know eighty's yes it is just if you slice it narrower to be over 60 it's not a definitive number per se to say over a 65 is this precise number and this why tomorrow i think it will be very interesting regulars for a meeting it could be there if you are very persnickety you might not approve it for those age 65 or older but look we'll see. very quickly the u.s. is still seems a long way off from approving the astra zeneca vaccine why is that when there's a was a debate of the accidents whole half goes all goes to shoot it came out some people say it's legitimate some people say it was hosed but it was legit was pre-register but i think oxford is trying to redo a trial or doing

a new trial and to truly find your the perfect dosing and perfect result they want to replicate just to prove to the world that it's real and i think that's one get us all screwed hurry house to vaccines and the nor over backs that's who that's that can coming out today also show 90 percent for the non african stream ok this still quite a lot to explore in this but that's all we have time for hopefully erik will have you again to explore more on this eric feigele doing epidemiology as and science writer in washington thank you. now here's a look at some of the developments in the pandemic biotech and 5 say their vaccine is effective against the british and south african coronavirus variants meanwhile us for novak's says it's vaccine is close to 90 percent effective in preventing covert 19 but only 60 percent effective against the south african

variant the u.s. has reported the 1st 2 cases of the highly transmissible south african variant in the state of south carolina and portugal is to reintroduce controls along its border with spain to control in corona virus infections and deaths. to lebanon now where anger is growing over a strict coronavirus lockdown clashes between residents and police in the city of tripoli and now in their 4th day and process of spreading to other parts of the country the total lockdown is leaving many people without an income in a country that was already on the verge of economic collapse. protest is out on the streets of tripoli again for the 4th day running demonstrations appear to be intensifying in lebanon 2nd largest city. many residents have been struggling with extreme economic hardship for some time with the country in deep recession.

nearly full and the country is seeing record breaking daily fatalities nevertheless many say around the clock curfew is just not possible in lebannon. you want to close the country then you have to provide for people it's not acceptable to lock people in their houses and leave them hungry. there are day laborers there are people who have lost their jobs there are people who can't earn a living or even enough for the bare essentials. the government is providing some financial assistance 223-0000 families but with half of the population estimated to be living below the poverty line the protests are likely to continue for some time. let's have a look now at some other stories making headlines around the world 400 nigerians who were stranded for months in saudi arabia due to the pandemic have been repatriated the economic migrants got stuck in the gulf nation after coronavirus
