when are animals doing well. to the world today. in 60 minutes on d w. drama competition rivalry marketing numbers that is here powered by at sac intuition love hate money millionaire fans friends via spam and friends. on you tube join us. germs against which antibiotics have become powers are becoming ever more dangerous in europe alone around $33000.00 people die from them each year yes continuity of all of us now a new wave is coming to our region germs that are completely resistant and so.

new treatments have to be found or old ones have to be rediscovered when drugs stop working patients feel helpless the most we need to get rid of all the big germs that i have at the moment there are quite enough. to get the pathogens under control scientists in one shops and research laboratories are feverish lee looking for new solutions. can humans win the battle against johns. your hunnish and his 15 year old daughter paulina have traveled from a scouting in in germany to antwerp in belgium to try to get help dangerous germs keep cropping up in pounding as long as she wore a face mask long before the pandemic. needs

a mask so that i don't infect other people and so that i don't hear myself with any germs. in belgium palin is lungs will be treated using a special therapy the clinic uses viruses known as bacteria phages or phages for short which literally means bacteria eaters. do this and forgive because often that for the past 3 years we've tried in vain to remove the germs from polymers lungs with antibiotics and so far we've not been able to get them out completely given the hope again the spring friends told us about paige their appeal and after a long wait we're finally here today. and i hope the phages will bring us success in the next few weeks if they're fighting. these farces destroy bacteria our lino suffers from cystic fibrosis a metabolic disease that makes her lung secretions thicker this is why germs are

always returning to her lungs among them are antibiotic resistant bacteria the doctors in belgium hope to be able to destroy these germs using phages they tell pollyanna to breathe them and this therapy has not yet been approved in germany bacteria phages are organisms that can multiply on their own they are found everywhere in our environment they feel most at home wherever there are also many bacteria like in sewage it's hoped the phage is that power lena is inhaling will reach the dangerous bacteria in her lungs each type of fairy only ever attacks one specific type of bacteria and reproduces within it if enough ages grow they destroy the bacterium and look for a new one if none of the host bacteria are left in the body the faces die or to of course we'd like this to happen in germany to act on that and when this is approved there it will be a very big step for all patients who have. an infection with bacteria that can no

longer be treated with antibiotics and. yet this is doctors used viruses to treat bacterial infections over 100 years ago but with the discovery of antibiotics pagers were forgotten in the western wild in parts of eastern europe they are still used successfully today and they are currently experiencing a renaissance in belgium the benefits we are hoping is that they will be able to help us combat those infections when to get excited enough anymore well phage therapy be able to help paulina. have you know they detected m.r.s.a. once before and now it's back to put on. m.r.s.a. stands for methicillin resistant staphylococcus for years something many patients fear because it's a constant threat for hospital treatment surgeon bent and medical hygiene is to run hendrix have a patient with dangerous germs in his sinuses but their hospital in the german

dutch border region has a very special prescription for dealing with it in a patient used to be a farmer and belongs to a high risk group because the germs are widespread in cattle stalls. you still live on the farm do you have pigs or horses or what is on our farm hasn't had any pigs for a year unfortunately that doesn't help much it takes a lot of time before the germs are gone to business or you know that in 27 team you had a positive nasal m.r.s.a. test result when you went in for another operation and we've now detected m.r.s.a. again at the homes in vats why we're very much in favor of trying to remove this germ from your nose and scatter so that you can get through the operation with as little risk of infection as possible. your hunnish old so boeing has the multi resistant germ in his sinuses and on his skin it's completely harmless in these locations if it gets into a wound it can lead to a life threatening infection an operation. and therefore presents

a risk for the retired farmer but he needs a new knee joint the hospital is performing most want tasks than most other clinics it tests about half of patients if there are multi resistant germs present doctors combat them before the operation because this is going to i'm a bit scared but i've been in a phase like this for 5 years now where i've noticed that when i run things are getting worse or one day to the next and now something has to be done only gets most of us a lot of. the doctors have significantly compaq on the use of antibiotics. nickleby you know a gimmick of the furtherance what the microbiologists and hi janice dear is that we will keep going with antibiotics always trying to support or treat every disease with them without restraint and that makes the germs stronger and stronger even image that the fear is that ultimately the germs will make all our antibiotics and in fact that the young sam hendricks wants to further improve the use of

antibiotics old antibiotics should be used for pathogens that are not resistant to them while new ones should be saved for problem germs and then for no longer than necessary. to do this hendrix's also expanded the capacity of the hospital laboratory. all of war without a laboratory it's almost impossible to practice good hygiene and good antibiotic stewardship every german hospital with over 400 beds needs its own laboratory to gain better control over the processes and in-house tree means more germ tests faster diagnosis and more targeted use of antibiotics in many german hospitals the laboratories was shut down decades ago for reasons of cost but today of more tests have to be performed the costs for the clinics increase it's money many hospitals lack but the needs to be spent. if you. don't test anyone you don't see any

germs if you don't see any germs you don't take any extra hygenic measures and then the patient is not always treated in good time or with the right antibiotics or no hygiene means the germs will spread further. just a few years ago it was thought that the medical profession had infectious disease is under control thanks to antibiotics in 128 alexander fleming from scotland discovered a mold that killed pathogens he called it penicillin it came into its own during world war 2 due to the launch number of wounded the us put it into mass production fleming recognized early on that bacteria could become resistant to penicillin. when he received the nobel prize in 1905 caution bought in vain and go to this isn't a crime multi resistant germs are not hospital germs. in our hospital and others we've found that over 95 percent of the people who are in fact that with these

germs bring them from outside that you can catch them in our hospital it's doesn't that mean that there is much to be done and if we don't do anything the problems will get worse and worse than that so for hospitals it is an important problem importing. antibiotic resistant germs thrive where ever a lot of antibiotics are administered such as in agriculture the drugs can only kill the bacteria that are not resistant the others multiply. due to the widespread use of antibiotics in meat production but also spread in animal stalls and manure to retard farmers germs also came from agriculture disinfectant so used to help reduce the dangerous bacteria on his skin and nose before his operation. and i was amazed because we hadn't had any pigs for a year that the germs were still. there i would have preferred if they hadn't

noticed when you physically showed up. will he be able to reduce the number of germs enough that he's nice surgery can go well. focuses on ensuring that the dangerous germs patients bring in do not spread further in hospitals. or. researchers in the danish city of organs are aiming to revolutionize the killing of pathogens in hospital rooms with modern technology. thomas cleaning robots. the robot brings together 2 technologies mobile navigation and you can see like that should be. important because the ultraviolet light that is installed here kills the bacteria in the room that is being disinfected the important thing about

you is the like is that it can go where it is needed. company reason to push the developments of the robot forward friends of his had lost family members to resistant germs in the future he hopes robots like these can help to better disinfect hospital rooms the model in the company cardo is a dummy without u.v. radiation. if their disordinate now adays around 8 to 10 percent of all people treated in hospital pick up an infection. by assisting the cleaning staff with the robot infection rates are reduced so it saves lives and save st helens. in a testing room engineer paljor nielsen applies test strips with agreat to u.b.c. radiation the higher the exposure the darker they become. the parts taken by the robot can be programmed precisely room by room accounting for the carnage and floor

plan c. radiation would be fatal for humans so the robot has to work alone in the room most importantly it must disinfect the places where the germs build up known as high touch surfaces. if the game fruit here we can clearly demonstrate that the maximum radiation outward reached the high touch surfaces when we disinfected them if if we see and the u.v. see radiation here and on all the services in the room was high enough to kill 99.99 percent of all the bacteria for this official. pauline and her father your highness waiting for the next round of phage therapy at the university hospital. don't to tina boy uses bacteria phages to kill the germs in germany and many other european countries these pharmacies have not

yet been approved as a medical treatment. ductile says that it would make the most sense to approve the entire bacteria phages manufacturing process the focus of what to do this you would have to relax some of the existing approval procedures in many countries there is no legal framework to make exceptions but here in belgium we have now done jesse at least of acquittals. for years we were looking for a way to allow phage treatments while ensuring patient safety i believe that is why this has failed in other countries and it is that these little. doreen teunis prepares the phages for power lena in the hospital pharmacy where every pathogen medical professionals have to find and breed suitable bacteria phages the dosing takes place here in the clinic. this is the bacteria phages solution it comes from a military hospital in brussels we only use it for infections with very specific

multi resistant germs that we prepared here in our pharmacy we only do this every few months we've had another patient before but it's all pretty new to us and the high security at the laboratory is purely a precautionary measure because the side effects of of pages are not yet known. the doctors determine the dose individually for each patient. so far power lena has tolerated as pages while she's supposed to inhale the viruses one last time in the clinic then she can continue the therapy at home which is good feel i feel that my lungs have already become a bit clearer apart from a cough and my voice go sounds a bit strange now but they're letting me go home today. no longer anything ok it's . supposed to inhale the pages several times

a day for 3 weeks if the virus therapy does not bring the desired results she faces a 2nd round this time intravenously with a needle and she would have to go to antwerp for 4 weeks. something her father and the doctors would like to avoid. so let's hope that the air is also known will be enough and that you don't have to come back for the 2nd part of the treatment that will follow it up in the next 2 weeks we will be checking her sputum sample every week and we'll have to see whether or not and at what point we won't be able to culture that. right now so i can't predict it and if it's in the 1st week then we'll throw a party i think this is a very very soon but it's also possible that in the 2nd or 3rd week or or not at all we don't know to find all the germs and to dissolve the secretion in her lungs lena has to inhale several times a day both with fay juice and antibiotics as i think it's

a good combination. does under they have typed out it doesn't harm the baby just because they're viruses and of ages don't harm the antibiotic condition and. there aren't a lot of studies on this to do an intensive research is needed because it's obvious multi resistant germs will cause more and more problems for us to sell to them. goes well i only know in 3 weeks whether the therapy has worked. not only faders and better hygiene promise solutions new drugs are also being developed. in huygens bourg molecular biologist martin gleason is looking for ways out of the antibiotic crisis for the biotech company to sando he has developed a process with which he can specifically find any type of bacteria using artificially produced protein and symes. and the poor

are basic building blocks come from nature to see if we optimize enzymes that are used by phages primarily to emerge from the bacterial cell at the end of their reproduction cycle. the basic idea is to make the bacteria burst from the outside like a balloon. but. once the phage is have found a suitable bacterium they multiply within it during this phase they produce and signs if enough and signs are present they cause the host bacterium to burst and so gleason produces these and slimes artificially optimizing them to attack bacteria in the human body he calls his invention are to licensed. the 1st volunteers like elka uyghurs have already been tested with the geriatric nurse suffers from neuro dermatitis again and again stuffy course inflation on her skin is getting so

bad that she might have to give up our walk. us top yet my doctor said he tried everything here so there was nothing left so he didn't know what to do with me anymore but then you read about this and said we could ask for a sample and and then within 2 or 3 days of trying it you could see how everything went away just looking at it healed the skin stoppage saying. it was a miracle. at the end when. martina graceful did a lot of tests and no resistance ever developed a r.t. license so does that they can biotech company have a solution to the fight against germs. 12 just murder in its neon i believe that in recent years we have seen that the problem of multi resistant germs has come more and more into focus and our technology in particular offers many

advantages over classic antibiotics the kind of resistance resistance does not develop and we can kill a large number of germs in a very specific way to. be a factor of caissons r.t. license is visible under the microscope they destroy the target bacteria in a fraction of a 2nd but there is a long way to go before the enzymes can be turned into medicine the small company needs support from the pharmaceutical industry. and that's what martine kriesel found in the western german city. hall because im a mom wants to bring a license to market. his pharmaceutical company by couriers is one of the few worldwide that are researching new antibiotics and that presents a colossal with a great opportunity for is a serious thing for us it's very important because it's the 1st step toward use in

human pharmaceuticals that's a big milestone for a biotechnology company and the potential of the new development is impressive even a small dose is enough to read a highly concentrated germ solution of pathogens within minutes streptococcus are responsible for the milky count in us if you just made this streptococcus germ solution i'm about to add a controlled substance and are already licensed to compare them you'll see that within 5 to 6 minutes the cloudiness will be different so the germs burst and are destroyed and as a result the solution loses as cloudy this. time lapse shows how the anti license destroy the county jumps. vision is for human medicine this would be a huge step because you have a completely different class of ingredients a completely different mechanism and model of action where you can work against existing resistances this is a new weapon against resistant germs is to define for many pharmaceutical companies

the search for new antibiotics is not worthwhile because new drugs have to be kept back as reserve antibiotics and only used to emergences use levels would probably be low and development costs would be high. tensile when we talk about resistance it's like an arms race because the bacteria will always mutate and build resistance you constantly have to keep up with them because they never stop trying to defend themselves against the drugs we're developing it's in and durrance raise a lot of it lot of. the employees regularly analyze the global resistance situation dangerous in testimony germs are gaining ground that antibiotics can do little to. top 5 percent of hospital germs are resistant even in the netherlands a country with exemplary public hygiene. in germany that's now 12.2 percent and you can see it increasing and it's

a similar story in poland austria and spain the us there's no country under 5 percent anymore i think that's pretty dramatic with the germs. a new approach provided by artificial enzymes is not without challenges then. if i come up with innovative approaches that have never been tested in humans there is of course a certain risk because they 1st have to prove their effectiveness in humans and it takes time to develop them from scratch. that we have to say and believe there will be a solution must be a solution because the problem is so serious. it may take another 5 to 10 years before licenses are ready for the market as drunks paulina's phage therapy in belgium has now ended at home she inhaled a harmless say line solution. move your upper body so the vapors can get deep into your lungs and caused.

the face worked. out enough finds it much easier to breathe she finally feels like working out again and exercise is good for her lungs. the 1st shot and how much 122 was not bad better than last time. if i do the poem unary function test elicits or good it's also influences my mood was as if i usually feel better immediately i have my motor. they should and i'm somehow happier if you know better because i feel like i could do more. because of her illness lena has to catch up with a lot of school work at home it's much easier for her to study 101 was that clear she's doing much better but doctors can still detect dangerous germs in her lungs

so she is considering going to antwerp again with her father for another round of faith therapy. doctors here at the syntax nearest hospital in buckled have already made great strides in the fight against the germs and by applying hygiene concepts from the netherlands standards have increased and antibiotic consumption has decreased regular training and self monitoring are important factors for ron hendricks. it is incredibly interesting that in the last 20 to 25 years in microbiology the approach to hygiene is changed 100 times more than in almost any other disciplines that makes it very interesting and also means that we always need to be on the ball and to be able to explain to people what is going on at some $113.00 hospitals or taking part in a cross border network more and more german clinics are adopting dutch standards in

backcourt before doctors operated on your highness so going the treatment significantly reduced the number of dangerous germs while the wound was open during the operation he was given a one time reserve antibiotic that was all that was needed. i'm so really. it's such a weight off me. i'm about to try to take some steps with crutches that's really good. in the moonstone land clinic the doctors have the germs under control but for ron hendrix that's no reason for complacency yes for how we proceed now will help us to keep these germs under current. role in the long term we need to restrict prescription of antibiotics preferably using the oldest drugs we need good hygiene taking swabs so we know who is infected with which germs so we can act accordingly and no matter what we can think of the germs already have an answer of

. the fight against the killer germs can never be entirely one but we might be able to keep them under control with better hygiene new drugs and only using antibiotics as a last resort. how

russian police crackdown once again on supporters of jailed kremlin critic. to make thousands of arrests as protesters rally or cross a country for a 2nd straight weekend to demand his release and hope for hong kong citizens unwilling to live under chinese rule the u.k. opens a new visa scheme offering millions the chance to gain british citizenship london says it has a moral duty to the people of hong kong. welcome the european union says drug maker astra zeneca has agreed to make up part of the vaccine shortfall it announced earlier this month the drug maker said it was slashing supplies to the e.u. by 60 percent because of production problems at a belgian plant that triggered

a bitter route. with brussels astra zeneca will now deliver 40000000 doses in the 1st quarter 9000000 more than last week's offer european commission president ursula fund of line met a group of former executives on sunday to discuss vaccine supplies to the e.u. . from brussels i'm now joined by correspondent baird rieger burnt so astra zeneca it now says it will deliver 9000000 extra vaccine doses by the end of march which after all these production issues begs the question where will these doses come from. the certainly not coming from british to rezone seneca because also great britain now has an export ban on vaccines so it's most likely that as soon as the nica recalculated its original delivered plan and is now saying that the yeast in the belgian and the dutch

company a bigger than estimated so that they can promise a little bit more but it's still only hof of the amount that was or originally ordered from the european union for the 1st quarter and also the other companies. behind was the vaccine delivery so it's the struggle to keep the timetable. funded mine also said that the e.u. is sticking to the target of vaccinating 70 percent of adults by the end of summer is that realistic. well that's a very difficult calculation it's the do the math if you have 300000000 adults in the u. you'd need to vaccinate more than 1000000 a day so the take a year or so this is far from the numbers we have right now so they have to speed up things and the companies today promised in presence that they will do that the

e.u. ordered 2300000000 do says which should be produced this year so fun to learn the commission president is still hopeful that this goal can be reached in the summer as always thank you bearing. in brussels german chancellor angela merkel's government will hold a virtual summit monday with the leaders of the country's 16 federal states to discuss the crisis and how to speed up vaccinations like elsewhere in the e.u. germany has been struggling to ramp up its inoculation campaign in berlin this exhibition center is being used as a massive vaccination clinic taxis deliver seniors to receive the shots it looks like everything's going smoothly but appearances can be deceptive jim and city say the country's rollout has been plagued by logistical problems. we need to know when

the vaccines are arriving and in what quantities said that we can schedule appointments it would reduce the public frustration as he gets off the top. 3 vaccines now approved in germany but they all in short supply german politicians now want to work closely with the pharma companies to overcome the shortfall. it's like it's not enough to tell companies to skylab we have to come up with them urgency plan be prepared to pay compensation for redirected manufacturing capacity we have to do movement to all. the plant could involve the state ordering pharma companies to produce vaccines even vaccines developed by that competitor were not the words state intervention in the manufacturing process the green support that idea they say companies haven't done enough to speed up manufacturing to me. companies really doing enough to scale up operations that would mean increasing manufacture of ingredients trying lebar treat capacity and then vaccine production

we have to take a close look at all of that in the state has to get involved with things out working out including by forcing them to lots of products to. the left parties also in favor of piling political pressure on vaccine produces museum god and upon to me this pandemic is proving that the idea of the invisible hand of the market solving everything doesn't run but that doesn't mean the government should do it for them the companies must be for stacks of health minister can make them jim and lauren powers him to do so on human. much is at stake at the german government vaccination summit as people white impatiently for their jabs. germany and austria are offering to help portugal deal with one of the world's worst 1000 now breaks portugal has the highest number of deaths per inhabitant of any country germany's military is sending medical aid and doctors austria is preparing to take in some of portugal's

critically ill patients portuguese doctors say the situation is becoming desperate . tight checks of portugal's borders at this entry point into spain only those with a valid reason are allowed through. portugal have seen a period of relatively relaxed restrictions now people are confined to their homes except for essential outings nursery schools shops and cafes a shot the government has entered crisis mode. where i think it could be even stricter there are still too many people on the streets. because that many portuguese still haven't understood that we've gone from being a good corona country to one of the worst on the ground is it because those that are beyond. portugal's intensive care units a straining some hospitals are running out of beds for covert 1000 patients others are short of medical staff or oxygen supplies long lines of ambulances have formed

outside some clinics many patients have to wait hours until doctors decide whether they can be admitted it and where. but about what we have never before triology like we're doing now sometimes we're having to treat people in the ambulances and that's a blessing authorities say the highly infectious virus variant 1st found in britain has caused hof of all cases in greater lisbon some patients have been airlifted from overstretched mainland hospitals to the mid-air islands more than a 1000 kilometers away. now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world at this hour britain's captain tom moore has been hospitalized after testing positive for corona virus captain tom became a national hero last spring by raising over 30000000 pounds for british health care charities with a walking challenge a statement on twitter says the 100 year old was having trouble breathing but he's not in intensive care. thousands of altar orthodox jews have packed the streets of

jerusalem flouting israel's coronavirus lockdown they gathered for a top rabbi's funeral despite the country's high infection rate critics have accused prime minister benjamin netanyahu of failing to enforce the lockdown due to political pressure from his allies in the ultra orthodox community. a world health organization team investigating the origins of covert 19 has visited a market in china where the virus was 1st detected the seafood market has been shut for a year and the visit took place under tight security. to russia now where more than 5000 people have been arrested during a 2nd week of nationwide anti-government protests over 1500 were detained in the capital moscow including the wife of the opposition leader alexei navalny

demonstrators gathered near the prison where now is being held but protests also took place right across russia this sunday from siberia in the east to st petersburg in the west of the raster earlier this month has brought to a head tensions over corruption and a lack of democracy in russia as our correspondents found out on the streets today . told what to do being controlled but young people used to organizing them so that's why i came here today because i want to take and what is happening in my country you watch him go ready it's a disgrace. they've stolen everything from us. i live near oil and gas fields and there just standing is all that i mean yes little dog i have a 2 year old son and if putin stays in power for the next 16 years as he's planning through then my son will grow up with him and i don't think anything will come of it for years though. w.

correspondent emily sure when said demonstrators were determined to gather despite a huge police presence. authorities in moscow tried their best to prevent these protests today from happening at all there was a huge police presence on the ground in moscow and the authorities have blocked off a huge chunk of the center of the city rerouting buses and closing metro stations but what we saw today was kind of like a cat and mouse game between the police and protesters and it was kind of unprecedented alexina team was coordinating the movement of protesters via the social media platform telegram and every time police blocked off one spot in the city they would tell protesters to move somewhere else now there were somewhat flee fewer protesters on the streets of moscow today than there were last week at mass protests but people seemed just as determined not to go home despite the huge

police presence and they told me that this protest is not so much about. himself even though they were calling for his release people told me that this is about fighting for a better future and a better russia. to asia now hong kong citizens with a british national overseas passport can now apply for a visa to live and work in the u.k. they they then can apply for british citizenship after 5 years the u.k. government says it's for filling is historic commitment to the people of hong kong or former colony handed back to china in 1997 it announced a measure last july saying a tough new security law imposed by beijing violated hong kong's autonomy. it's a potential escape route for millions of hong kong citizens more than 5000000 people over 70 percent of the population are eligible for the visa scheme although not

everyone will take action the u.k. administration has asked that made at that in the next 5 years that will be at least 2. $150000.00 peoples to do so so are we're talking about a significant number a significant wave of emigration it's not only about the people leaving but also that capital talents the profession that they will bring with them to leave hong kong. poses a serious issue for beijing kong many educated well paid professionals could leave the territory. the way how and why i'm thinking about the various aspects of the u.k. like the economy are not particularly good i think it's still better than hong kong for young people like me we don't know how to live or survive here so i won't consider this method so you know the way how i buy. all my you understand the saying that people are worth less when they leave their home country if they want

to move abroad and think the u.k. safer than hong kong during the pandemic that's their decision day i would say she died. on friday china condemned the u.k. visa scheme. this sunshine severely violates china's sovereignty grossly interferes in hong kong affairs and china's internal affairs severely violates international law on the basic principles of international relations china is indignant and strongly opposes that. beijing says it will no longer recognize the british national overseas passports a largely symbolic move congress can also use the hong kong passport or id card to travel further retaliation could be in store. sports now and a look at all the results from this weekend's slate of matters in the german bundesliga byron held firm for 1st place with a 41 win over hoffenheim leipzig edge past. vosburgh beat freiburg
