this look of shock like wow there's a jew at our school that's the bad thing. teenagers live in stories. based on jewish and so. young german and jewish starts february 22nd. this is the dull good news coming up today a military pullback 9 months in the making. india and china are agreed to step back from a tense border standoff in the karakoram mountains is this the beginning of the end of tensions between the 2 issues powers plus. from ocean to must thailand's novel the mission to helping in the 5 decades of coronavirus pandemic. and new york in the shadow of covert 19 celebrations for the year of the ox mutiny

in china as authorities ask people to avoid traveling. i'm british by magic welcome to d.w. news asia glad you could join us india and china have agreed to withdraw their military forces from a disputed part of their shared border in the current got a mountain range troops from both countries have been in gauged in a 9 month long standoff at the pang gong leak in india's dark region it is just one part of a shared but undefined border between both countries that runs for thousands of kilometers. the trouble began last may after india accused chinese troops of unilaterally entering indian tenantry so both armies were facing off against each other at various points along the border tensions came to

a head when 20 indian soldiers died in a clash with chinese troops at one of these points since then both on means have steadily reinforced their positions and moved men and material to the border area. john i mean awful more is defense analyst. you've been following these tensions at the border since it began last year what have the 2 sides agreed to now oh well there was synchronised announced from raging on wednesday and from delhi on thursday saying basically the same thing which is that there would be a disengagement of troops from either side in the vicinity of the bank on which is a high order to make it. this is just one of the 4 polices where the chinese troops included into indian claim territory that happened last week in

and since then they've reached levels of confrontation going on the announcement takes place only introspect of the bank. it is not quite clear yet whether there are implicit and understood announcements that they will or agreements that they will be announcements in the future for disengagement in the other places but for now. which is one of the key areas where the troops were in contact. and now disengaging and pulling back to agree to stations now these tensions have been running for about 9 months daryn as you correctly point out there's other points of tension as well should we assume then this is the beginning of the end of these tensions between both sides. well it would be tempting to assume that. because you know it this is been going on for a very long time with high levels of tension between 2 nuclear on super pots but

the truth is that there is no announcement yet about pullbacks in other positions if it is something that the 2 sides have agreed would be done in the fields manner and there is an agreement about it that's welcome but right now there is no announcement for the key area we're. going from titian's taking place still is the depth some play in which is the northernmost part of. what is the karakoram faults which chinese troops have included about 15 to 18 kilometers inside indian territory that's a dense area because the chinese believe that the indians there are when poised to go and capture a strategic insight china that links their property often says of sheen jangan give it and that makes the chinese very sensitive to that area so we're waiting to see whether there's an announcement or a pullback in. that is if that happens then you would certainly be seeing the

beginning of the end of this confrontation but right now as i said there isn't a clear announcement it's taken months to achieve this breakthrough and there are significant interests from on both sides particularly the chinese side talk about a particular position as you just mentioned. doesn't look like india has many cards. it can use to push through a does it get lumped. well at the purely tactical level. indian the indian army has superior positions which in the mountains means. in only one sector and that is the southern bank of the bank now between yesterday and today they will be beginning those positions so to that extent the indian site is showing an element of trust in this disengagement process by the keating it's

a period positions right off the bat. however. if one looks at it in a larger strategic context the chinese ever agreed to disengagement whether in $12.00 or 3 positions that's a matter of detail but they've agreed to disengagement and that seems to indicate to indian strategic thinkers that perhaps the chinese have believed that. strategically miscalculated what would happen when they came into the indian side in fact in control but perhaps they did not believe that the indians would react so strongly that they would hold their deployments right through a window where the temperatures go down to minus 30 percent to grit and the indian the strength of the indians reaction might have forced the chinese to rethink their fall into rights that the hope certainly. because the indians have taken action

against the chinese at the economic level at the diplomatic level at the monitor national military left the strengthening of the walk and so on and that perhaps as well as the chinese to rethink so there is this hope that the chinese are reading evaluating their position right thanks very much. for joining us thank you. next one. last took from the ocean to help fight the spend the connection fishing nets discarded in thailand sees you as more. divers off the coast of thailand many meters from the surface are finding mounds of plastic waste discarded by the country's fishing industry and they're harvesting it ghost nets as they're called are more than ugly and. later like you can see hearing

like the one on playing there we. don't know any better some 30 divers are helping a group called net free seas that brings tons of tangled plastic nets to the surface it's the start of a recycling process that could in turn help save the life of a covert 1000 patient or caregiver. the nets pulled from the water are painstakingly blasted clean out of bangkok recycling business and made ready for the next phases of 1st chopping them to bits. eventually into a plastic powder. and then cooking those bits into something that can be cooled shaped and used once again. like base shields protection for nurses doctors emergency workers office workers or bus drivers in the midst of the pandemic the recycling firm puts them up for sale along with other products made from the nets pulled from the bottom of the sea you know initially we were working

with the plastic bottles and that and plastic backs that we. make new products so once they're precious with this we're we really come into it because we want to save the ocean as well. net free seas and its partners know their efforts only make a dent in the pollution issues that plague the ocean and the rest of the planet. but they're convinced their business model of removing trash from the seas to create products that help ward off sickness is one to build on. chinese communities around the world to mark the start of the. you know a new year today in china itself it is a time when millions traveled back to their families in what is commonly called the world's largest annual human migration but this year festivities are overshadowed by the pandemic authorities have told people to stay at home to avoid spreading the virus. delivery driver who said by lives with his wife and daughter in

northeastern beijing normally at this time of year the family would have already left their one room apartment and be on their way to their hometown in gansu province in northwestern china to celebrate the new year with their family but the pandemic has put paid to their travel plans. for 430 we need to do nucleic acid testing and issues difficult see if we want to go back home which is very inconvenient so i plan to stay in beijing. who sit by is one of millions of migrant workers in china affected by the restriction rules are different across the country but in most places people are being required to quarantine for weeks on arrival in their home villages and then again when they return to their workplaces meeting for many including who said by that the trip is not worth doing. we come back to beijing after the chinese new year i'll have to be

quarantined for another 14 days i thought it was very troublesome so i'll stay in beijing for the new year. to dissuade people from travelling the government has offered incentives such as free phone data and online films they say as a result the number of those undertaking the journey home has been reduced by as much as 70 percent compared to last year. for many the decision to stay put is a difficult one as a new year is the only time in 12 months that they get to see their children and other relatives. for his advice family new year in beijing is not as much fun as at home but he says they will eat something tasty together and try to make the best of it until next year. i'm going to spawn a mature berliner and belgians and does this look at a subdued lunar new year in the city as pandemic concerns put

a damper on celebrations. while the numbers of infections are largely under control in china a few recent breaks have alarmed the earth origin there is no country wide travel ban but many places have placed restrictions and quarantine requirements on new arrivals and many companies also ordering their employees to stay at home. to newsier on this time of the year it was see crowds doing up in front of this station it is an estimated that trips around the country are down by more than half this year. pound while this means start a lot of businesses that usually shut down during the season could stay open longer this year a lot of events have been cancelled like temper fairs or the traditional ice rink on the lake behind me i over all this means not spending during the festival

season would be lower than usual. celebrations but celebrations all the same we live for today with images of festivities from across china. all of. the fight against the corona virus 10 times. the rate of infection in developing what does the latest research. information and contact the coronavirus update. on d w. 260. the last few years. i've heard it on my home but when it comes to.

perhaps the biggest. i'm going. to be there a prison there a comfort when you're giving. another way of never they. haven't been very right through it. accused of being super secret is denied play dates and locked up in the most important developmental stage of their lives. the pandemics hit kids hard. but a new german study shows they're not the main culprits in passing on the coronavirus. pediatricians are edging schools and kindergartens to reopen mourning of the lost generation had enormous psychological costs whole

society. will get to the findings of that study i mentioned in a moment when we talk to the specialist behind it 1st calls from children's organizations here in germany they want the government to do more to support kids through this crisis. a real kick about the friends now feels like a fantasy for children like 9 year old luna growing up during the pandemic has often meant missing out. the hardest thing and days weeks and some are without having much contacts are the people the few contacts to do. is change my character a bit. i've been lonely without anyone to do things with. and

i've really missed. it. but not before the pandemic around 30 children would come to this after school club in berlin every day now they're making do with $1.00 to $1.00 activities for a couple of hours a week. some relied on the club for a hot meal to make sure they don't go hungry director bianca's on the fed prepares 10 to 20 meals a day for the kids to collect. but most things children need can't be packed up to take home. from an educational perspective it's be encouraged to give every day that's being lost that's what's really difficult at the moment we can't carry out our everyday work in terms of inspiring the children of course showing them new perspectives and. the conversations we have here often open up a whole new world for these children and if that's not possible right now that's really sad. it's gonna be ok if that's not unsafe polwarth. the

crisis has hit children from poor families especially hard one in every 5 children in germany is growing up in or at risk of poverty with a household income of less than 60 percent of the national average but they often have less space at home like the equipment they need for online learning and restrictions have made it harder to access supports. for the community and i would all the children growing up in poverty this is a very hard year a last year when it comes to their education and social development and they just won't be able to catch up at all no so it's important that we support these families now and don't wait until the crisis is over with that's not your thing because of a. childhood can't be put on ice for all children's resilience and adaptability this period will have long term consequences. you honestly is a specialist in pediatric infectious diseases and joins us from germany's

university hospital. what's your stance on the closure of kindergartens that's something you've actually investigated. who we are you kidding are and should be reopened soon as possible children are not the fire of the epidemic they are not the major transmitter of the new corona wire is of age and even the wireless they have only. can we already rule out the daycare centers and schools or sources of infection. yes i think we can we have in which to gauge it here births were in 9 child care institutions we have continuously investigated asymptomatic children who were sitting in those daycare institutions in the last autumn and winter and also we did

several sawzall swaps and. we were not able to indeed defy any major problem the staff coronal infections in these institutions so definitely we couldn't exclude you. who are resisting these it is usually as major sources of infection isn't it possible though that asymptomatic kids continue to spread the virus over a matter of weeks if not even longer. the asymptomatic k.c.'s publishes how the wires to so what are needed we rest of it is those children who were dramatic and we couldn't find the wires so only you know and a handful of cases among several start tests so i don't see that asymptomatic children contribute to the spreading of the virus in the population it's a just explain to me what do we know about the disease process in children and

parents. i don't want only one we know our children and that if they get infected by the new coronavirus they usually get all lighted up every infection without any complications no name very small heart of children mostly like older children round 10 years who might have uncomplicated mandatory complications the so-called martin the majority systemic syndrome. this is an exception. but it is a relative specific for the new coronavirus so. i was just going to jump in based on what your saying what what would your advice be to parents then who have to work who want to take their kids to a kinda got no one to let their kids go on a play date that's been denied them for so long. the

parents should explain their shy children the general rules which still are effective in the population keep just sense what you and regular agree a white those close contacts according to the regulations because. we cannot because we have to see the family as a not as as an or whole group and not we cannot make any exceptions for you know small children in the family all the children it would be too complicated spend to keep one clear. well he is. well to recommendations for all but but you want to keep it simple the fact is though what we've got a whole generation of kids growing up here in a very different environment what about the psychological effects on these kids.

psychological f.x. it should not be underestimated. if children that do not have regular contacts to their age related peers to all there are into tuition like childcare institution kindergarten and primary school secert really miss an important piece which is important to the end your logical development too and that this is what we as pediatricians feel and therefore of course the whole that the childcare institution can then be open soon and as i said before i don't see a problem in this because in the child gets it usually. there is no major. infectious to see sick to duty by the new coronaviruses so far

ok thank you very much for talking to us your highness lisa university hospital vets both department of pediatrics thanking. for the last time this week it's over to our science correspondent derrick williams he's been fielding your questions on our you tube channel. if you've already had kevin $1000.00 do you still need to be vaccinated. yes health care authorities recommend that you do assuming of course that you've completed your isolation period and are symptom free but that blanket advice is also evolving and growing more specific as we move forward with vaccinating growing numbers of people for example a number of studies have indicated that naturally acquired immunity in nearly everyone who had the disease really is effective for at least several months we

expected that but it's still reassuring to have the assumption backed up by evidence during that period re infection appears to be very rare so if you've had covert 19 recently it almost certainly won't hurt to wait a while for the vaccine the experts say and that will increase access to vaccines for people who haven't had the disease during this this critical stage of the pandemic where the vaccine production still vote and other factors that also influence future advice for example in a recent study looking at this topic but still awaiting peer review the authors found that after a single dose with a vaccine people who had already had copd at 19 had antibody responses that were often more powerful than what 2 doses tallest in people who'd never had the disease

and and that powerful immune response to a single shot was accompanied by more heavy duty side effects like the t.v. can and fever and headaches as well which. in people who have never had the disease usually come after the 2nd shot so a debate has begun on whether it might make sense for those who have had coded 19 to be dosed only once which would also free up more vaccine for people who haven't had the disease but at this point with data still limited a lot of experts say it's really better to err on the side of caution and stick to the to dos regime used in the trials for everyone until we know more. in the german city of passaro is offering his customers a different kind of injection to count a negative news about vaccines the must the confectioner has created the jam jap it

comes in various flavors and is injected into freshly baked goods you can even get a vaccination certificate or loyalty card 21 stamps and you get a free dose of jack. that's a lot of arnott's thanks for watching stay safe see a cancer. patient.
