chaos and summer holidays at risk there was no shortage of talking points at this virtual e.u. summit during a 4 hour video call leaders trying to find a united way forward in the fight against the pandemic the pressure is intense concerns can't just be waved aside with the e.u. legging behind them vaccination numbers and new variants spreading rapidly across the continent the b 117 is by no in all member states but one. the south african variant is in 14 member states and the brazilian variant in 7 so there's a lot of challenges ahead of us apart from ramping up vaccine manufacturing and easing production bottlenecks the e.u. will put more energy into detecting these more contagious and dangerous mutations through a dedicated program. with the spring on its way tourism has made it back to the agenda greek prime minister kitty hawk is was one of the 1st leaders to call for an

e.u. wide vaccination certificates in the attempt to east travel restrictions and save the summer holiday season that's something all leaders could get behind but how and when exactly this vaccine passport could be rolled out is uncertain. as we expected to be done by summer i am not a programmer so i cannot make any guarantees like i cannot guarantee vaccine deliveries but the political requirements are to reach this goal within the next few months. but for the moment member states have agreed that tourism and all non-essential travel is not an option. and here in germany the government is urging caution when it comes to easing lockdown measures as worries grow now about a possible 3rd wave of coronavirus infections current restrictions are in place until march the 7th and federal state leaders are due to meet early next week to

that it had happened i know from a self-help group that i can may and even must others and that i shouldn't hide away whole the relapse lasted for weeks and then she stopped drinking again that was quicker than usual she says because she had people to turn to this time several times a week she takes part in an online alcoholics anonymous session that may not be as good as face to face but deanna says virtual meetings really do give her strength and support and help her stay off the drink she also tries to stick to a daily routine to help her through the pandemic creative work helps her pass the time but given her history of dependency there is always a nagging anxiety as. you know i'm frightened that if the pandemic just goes on and on and the isolation i will have another relapse and i know that a relapse could kill me but so far so good deanna hasn't had

a drink for more than 3 months. deputy of the german center for addiction issues kristina joins us in your opinion which addictions are the pandemic exacerbating. yes he definitely did see a shame. that this moron from my clock caught. in restaurants lots of reasons to change people really at home in their own clothes their worth because they're walking solve problems there are worries. about the health of how correlates its native name last relationships are with the fact that mc and so we see a change. people at home alone and. yet daytime which wants us yeah very.

so we see here very very problem. can't be too. yeah through awful patterns. you know i was always told never never drink alone but you're telling me to a lot more people are doing this how many more people would you say are actually a risk of addictions during this pandemic. yes and we need mark and tear for this in the past we have such. force more. and more people. than before our crisis or mobs they can't even more slow we have some smarts on a volatile situation from 1st life and yes for trying to 20 this is our our data and once more some need for truth is there anything in that data that's also new to you or new types of patients who are receiving. there are more and more

patients and more. brought regulation of clients with the problems. there are a far. far far cry mentioning hughes one month or more later this morning the latest call also so. why are so few her purse that showed once you've gained a lot more it's foolish not to cross the room and many things are done online like any gamblin well this is more of brought variation of people who call us and slash hostler she thought her one positive out of this pandemic i guess is the fact that you can get counseling virtually no longer have to actually sit down face to face with someone which may

be conducive to some situations or some people but which areas do you see being really tense or difficult to to deal with when it comes to the counseling size of side of things. but if this more will get you to write the work to such a help it's more you need based context this is small uppermost. on how the face to face contact am at least see more very big problems in some other groups. yet many people who are sober since yes well that's. all i have to be very creative to stay in contact with him with a touch of why why why is that face to face contact so important. it's a very special problem of ours which you have who you are you have to talk. in. france to face and. it's actually to

raise our grants. some people like nick glass this is. all how. you can contact with the face what would you recommend then for people who are struggling right now having a difficult time and who have. turned to the types of solutions or what they think is is a solution but may not be. who who needs help this market don't get how you can somehow prefer. they have oh yes for a problem and this is the 1st and the most. concern and to talk to them if you don't want. to talk to you later if you can talk to a hard one to someone you know to talk. to this is the most important

thing to do to take in stark to talk to our. marketing department marks what a lot and we are very very mind. you get if you. if you it's and. yes this is other although that's really the 1st big step thank you very much nice talking to you christine all the deputy head of the german center for addiction issues. and our science goes one of derek williams has been sent an interesting question that's been trending on social media from one of our generic you tube followers. does the vaccine make you infertile. since the start of the pandemic we've seen one corona virus minute after another so it's no wonder that back seems have spawned many more this one though that that m r n

a vaccines cause infertility in women is especially worrisome i think because it appears to be having a real impact on vaccine uptake among younger women. like a lot of fake news that gains traction the infertility myth uses science to distort rather than to clarify in this case it twists the scientific fact that m.r.i. in a vaccine strain the immune system to recognize the structure on the outer surface of the corona virus called the spike protein this information campaigns build on that with a claim that the spike protein resembles a protein found in the placenta that protects and nurtures a developing fetus that means the claim continues that an immune system primed to detect spine proteins in order to attack and destroy the corona virus can also

mistakenly attack and destroy a placenta causing women to either be infertile or to miscarry this is not true for a couple of fundamental reasons 1st the defense in the immune system react in a highly specific way to the proteins that they've been programmed to detect they have to because proteins are only made up of 20 different molecular building blocks called amino acids but our bodies can produce at least 20000 different proteins from them and possibly a whole lot more so of course there can be structural molecular overlap in many different proteins which is why. the immune system has to be so specific and 2nd is the fact that the placenta protein in question turns out not even to be very similar and molecular terms to the viruses by protein so short and sweet there is

0 evidence that being vaccinated against pope at 19 affects a woman's fertility and anyway and actually a growing mound of evidence that it doesn't. it's the watching. going to.
