this is the deadly news live from berlin taking stock in the world's fight against coronavirus a year after the world health organization sound of the alarm about coded 19 we look at the progress made and the difficult road ahead also coming up russian authorities warn the public not to join protests in support of the country's jailed opposition leader tensions are high on the eve of planned mass rallies to the mountain lakes and the valley be free. and in the bundesliga by in face the team that had thrashed them for one earlier in the season we have the highlights of

their revenge against publicly. i'm anthony how welcome it's now been a year since the world health organization alerted the world to an impending danger declaring the coronavirus crisis a public health emergency just over a month later it was declared a global pandemic on january 30th 2020 there were just over 10000 cases almost all of them in china later in february and early spring case numbers shot up around the world and they've been rising ever since on generate 20 not 2021 a year after that initial declaration at least 102000000 people have fallen sick with the virus. well to talk more about this milestone on joined by stephen morse

he's a professor in epidemiology at columbia university medical center in new york and an expert in health diplomacy and early warning systems welcome to you professor i'm a pricing for they santa says i want to ask ag in a way closer to the end of this than we are to the beginning well in some ways i think we're really still in the thick of it but with vaccines now being rolled out and more on the horizon i think that will help to control it at the same time some of the other measures many of the things that germany through example have been successful in controlling it so i'm hopeful that even though we're not out of the woods yet we are going to be seeing some improvements in the next 6 months or less the emotional peaks and troughs recently built on the exciting news of vaccinations coming online and then the counter revelations of more infectious

variants that seem to be a step ahead of the science are we right to be wary of these new variants and their ability to complicate our why out of this mess. oh absolutely and i think it's essential that we really keep doing surveillance that is being watchful through these new variants as in the u.k. where they sample and characterize quite a few of them and that's how they find them but the more the virus continues to transmit the more variants we'll see that's what viruses do they just mutate and we can expect this so we really have to slow down and stop the transmission as much as possible whether through the masks and distancing in other measures or eventually also with vaccines. professor you've made everybody we've all been living in and somewhat of an alternate universe locking down upon wearing masks as you say keeping distance will some of these pandemic behavior has remained in our lives

simply because we can't eradicate this farce any more than we can eliminate the regular flu. you know i think the flu analogy is a very good one we probably will be taking that seems on a regular basis as new variants come out but we've had other coronavirus 4 of them that we know about that have circulated in the human population and they came in and probably in similar ways within the last few 100 years so i'm hopeful that eventually any you know there will be familiar again and like another 50 human coronavirus in till then we really do have to be careful because we don't know how long the immunity last with the vaccine and we don't know whether it's going to prevent transmission so i think we'll be wearing masks for a while tiresome as that is what is the more difficult component in a pandemic is it getting to grips with the science or getting to grips with people

and getting them to follow the science. oh that's an excellent last year and when i started working on this some years ago i thought it was the science but i think we understand enough about the science that i now realize it's human behavior getting people to do the things that are going to protect them and taking it seriously and we had i think a lot of mixed messages from political leadership in some countries and the countries that best had the best messages scientific messages from political leadership so i think it's human behavior that's really the key here and political will helping us not one year of the pandemic stephen morse epidemiologist at columbia university medical center thanks so much faith on thank you well germany has imposed a travel ban on countries hit hardest by new coronavirus variants the measures

that i like to see as the kids find. my. books on youtube. i was i. going. they don't mess around and let merrick out when it comes to football and fists fly easy. least so the cliche. but so-called games there too often

do descend into violent chaos the result cards yellow red a lot of them. this mass brawl in paraguay that the ref to brandish the 36 red cards ok it was a youth game and this happens all over the place amateur football here in germany is also no stranger to karate kid like scenes. but the numbers show south and central american leagues see the most cards worldwide. and it doesn't stop there. the football or a sense of the most times on the planet cut out of the way though yes colombia and the 3 countries with the most red cards at mannes world cups are brazil argentina and uruguay. and the 2920 champions league there are 20 red cards with 55 in the 2900 but at the us followed in 2020 by 8 red cards in one match the part

of the legacy darby between him and thomas you know what are you seeing read so far . there's an ugly stereotype that hot blooded let an american simply can keep their temper. but isn't that racist. now a study says cars have more to. to do that social economic factors such as g.d.p. or homicide rate poor is a. good hockey mom car. in the u.k. what is the. only thing that is but if. it's a sensitive and controversial topic isn't cultural and social possibly even religious or just none of the above is a reflection of life and if so how. let's start with statistics switzerland based football observatory took a closer look at it compared 87 leagues around the world between 20152020.

3 that the most cards are in fact letting americans. bolivia good to mamma and europe wide. and when it comes to records only it's your of wind the lead for libya's 2nd el salvador 3rd. we did reduce according to you are there and do we. correlate strong. correlations are. concretely bolivia and going to mali have the highest number of cards while also having among the lowest g.p.'s per capita in latin america as of 2019 what that implies is. a hobby. but here we find the 1st twist the country with the highest number of red cards per mention the world is euro why. but it has the highest g.d.p. per capita in all of south america. the

correlation we measure. is only 20 percent. the rest. and. german. time to ask you one man who showed plenty of cards in his career. or was a referee in his country's top flight which statistically produces 051 cards per match that's one every 2nd. compared to point 27 in italy point 23 spain point 15 in germany and just point 12 in england. if you. want to.

after the year of one case let's give the g.d.p. cards correlation another chance in a country whose g.d.p. is below the regional average in that number of. colombia which tells position 4 in the observatory's car drinking. clubs colombia has seen decades of armed conflict which let us face national bureau of economic research to conclude back in 2008. we find a strong relationship between the history of civil conflict and the propane city to behave violently on the soccer field. to use less economic language colombia is experiencing years of civil war and violence that must find its way into the pitcher right side of castro a political scientist and football journalist says that's an oversimplification. but i guess they didn't understand ford why those who don't is the food.

poisoning you don't. need to mistreat the completely innocent people i know you. mean. according to. colombia's point 3 for rent cars per match one every 3 games are also explained by the tough upbringing many people go through. it but i'm. going to feel as if. someone says the statistics are interesting but cannot really explain football culture but the football observatory insists violence in the society does play a role. and is was the strongest. small wonder then that el salvador is league is number

3 in the world when it comes to red cards. el salvador had one of the highest homicide rates in the world for years although recently it has declined. does the violence of something during gangs affect the national league to. local journalists close when i want it they wrote about the football observatory study that there are lots of cards in salvador in football is no surprise to the public. they must feel a little money. and that's saying see if they all talk out of us for you out of that's. what is that link to murder rates not for him when says the structure of the national league is a much bigger factor only a few teams dominate and can afford decent players to majority who lack proper training. and like in colombia pitches are bad the result.

a lot of the little bundle. but. also and then there is another factor which has to do with the whistle. well they have any. sort of. most notable stability and. you know it's hard for laws that will sort out this. while some rest in latin america are indeed aiming for the oscars. she should have won a. former brazilian referee for the number column who is a good entertainer both on the pitch and on ticket talk but she's also an expert on refereeing in south america she says both referees and players are hard to handle. a lot of people are looking at is how i'm going to see who will only cause who had a lot. in the midst of doing this yeah i get to look at it but

you know seeing. it go well yeah. i caught a hoop. which in most if anything like the new. set of numbers has been some ritchie has refereed at the highest level like at the 2080 world cup. he says the problem of misbehaving players in latin america starts early . but. it was the best. years. in order to. get it was. sure. there are those needles want. all those needles in the lot. so a bad footballing education clearly has its part in brawls like this too and in the

red cards that follow as well. hang on a minute we spoke a lot about rough male players on the pitch but what about women. actually when it comes to cards there is a big difference between men's and women's football in latin america one example the colombian league. get sick guy instead what they answer you and then say you know what that. company and. that critical of them head is his big. love let's not all of us they call us essential a little mass. audience live on is that only us at all in the me most was the cause. and if so it's latin american men's football that fuels studies such as the one done by the football observatory don't blame it on the ladies the swiss researchers have one

last reason for the high number of cars on the football pitch. the higher the perceived level of corruption the greater the number of cards in. this to to stick does have a more practical implication also according to latin american experts. he . says. it will do i mean long then animals are going to. improve. their level of process. and from this perspective once again. the side so if you are sanctions are to be expected a climate of impunity leads to more unfair behavior breaking the rules is seen as a virtue rather than a problem of. what actually foster is impunity in

latin american football you know why. the it was i don't. mean this. when you're not you know oh you know i'm not the. only automate. this and need to wait to. get on top of the what is. conclusion social factors do play a mets overall. but they more describe the context in which football takes place in many parts of latin america deeper explanations are found by looking at the countries football culture. e.g. . even.
