allison scored early in the 2nd half life went on to a 2 no victory meanwhile the cinderella run of 4th division s. and and against and. that's a news update at this hour stay tuned for our covert special looking stay at the domestic violence in a pandemic and character it's an embryo in for me an entire news team thanks us for watching. the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. has the rate of infection been developing what does the latest research say. information and context the coronavirus update nineteen's. on t w. i mentioned the many portions of old lunch also now in the water right now quite materially different off the store. base is much less than when formed just one

week. how much work can really get. we still have time to our ongoing. success. to subscribe and more news like this. to stay safe against the corona virus experts are telling us to stay at home but some people being locked away with a violent partner or family member could be even more dangerous. domestic violence some experts are calling it the shadow pandemic. here in argentina there's been a one 3rd increase in famous side to the murders of women by their partners this mother is burying her teenage daughter who was killed by a former boyfriend. demonstrations and protests against domestic violence have

increased but so has this often invisible problem. with lockdowns and stay at home or just dipping into peeking around the globe how can victims trapped at home with their abusers get help. welcome to our covert 19 special i want to get done some good and today we focus on the social implications of the coronavirus pandemic starting with a look to russia. valentino constantine over hasn't let russia's locked down stop her she's used the time to redecorate her moscow hotel and because the pandemic has kept guests away she's decided to shelter domestic violence survivors a crisis center now sends women who have nowhere to go to her hotel because women shelters have gone into quarantine and they would no longer. i have quite a few friends or acquaintances have experienced domestic violence in both each skin

so i wanted to help. but i couldn't always help my friends back then sometimes i could sometimes not. so long as just one but now i can help others. valentino's hotel is right in the middle of it is my live ski market which normally draws tourists but it's typical russian look usually these stands would be full of souvenirs and bric a brac in this market would be bustling with people but during lockdown it's become a quiet place to escape. hotels which translates as fairy tale has become a saving grace and one of the domestic abuse survivors staying here is a singer in that area xtina came here about a month ago. it wasn't the 1st time my husband hit me even before the

quarantine when you love someone you forgive them. but the 4th or the 5th time it's just impossible to bear. something clicks in your head. it made me just get up and leave. i simply couldn't stand it any more. so usually. domestic violence is not a criminal offense in russia there are no official statistics and what goes on behind closed doors is often considered a family matter but since the lockdown began women's advocacy organizations have reported a significant rise in domestic abuse. it gets down the other countries there are mechanisms in place to fight domestic violence restraining orders strict legislation and law enforcement agencies that are taught how to deal with these situations unfortunately russia doesn't have that that's why more cases here and in murder and more women stay in abusive relationships because they don't have the

tools to get out of them. valentino constantine over plans to keep posting domestic abuse survivors even after the lockdown ends. her hotel is giving women like a netter the strength to start over. all. that is now. i'm joined now by to share seeing assistant professor of psychology at barnard ask hindu university in the indian state of pradesh good to have you with us now professor singh we've just seen this report from russia where domestic violence is not a specific criminal offense what's the situation in india. in india of the mystical islands history of criminal offense we had a specific act a court of the son of who ran from the rest of the island sector which was barred

by. government in 2005 and it was sort of protection of the rights of women from all kinds of liners that happen within the family oh yes we have this if you like in india ok so the the lol exists and of course we've heard that around the globe throughout this pandemic cases of domestic violence have risen i wonder do people turn violent because of lock down or i'll be violent to start off with and look down just makes much as less. yeah you like money guy actually anyway i lose 2 of them at least 3 classes all factors that have responsibility so fast at least police know effectors. they're predisposed to. being involved in an act of violence so like that so if i act out of mindset dominance of man or woman you know safety and feel by the german on woman

it's going to be there subordinate to men have basically what they want at british police no matter what and this law down has brought us it's going to be factors and the mountain is to. be due to the lock down there i'm told that in the people basically goaded into this act of violence and then you never leave the of woman to seek help to go out and who are white and such a situation won't mend in inspect so yes people lived in that environment did you do that british police know their egos wrecked this large long initiated the depths of violence and has. in mind been is so the to violence also right so it also is obviously a question of character a question of culture as you mentioned my tracking apache acts society but obviously i mean you are all pretty much in the same situation during this walk down what is it that pushes people over the edge and makes some violent and others

not. yeah basically it was definitely. what happened during this long down that in countries don't think countries like india and many people are basically the mike there from their home to other state and other parts of the country to their livelihood due to the law don't they return home and when they turn home they were. ready anxious they were jobless they were economically in a ready unstable situation and this gave rise to a lot also fear anxiety and. future concern for them what happened when these mandates under that home and due to the lock on man and woman they became isolated and then about only one day apart men do really that anger was on woman so what we call it our defense mechanism karta displacement it

acted very seriously part woman when nothing was under control of a man the only port in cost controlling woman was living with them inside the family so this might listen was one of the causes that started it was basically that and gave the and the fia. rich people could not control it they were not ready to give it the coping mechanisms to deal with subjects respond read they will be cut from the society from their social. so horses them and basically they are kewl as to what they're going to do for that and then night to come and officer david professes saying yes because he's i mean this is it's an awful situation and if you a short on set piece if there are a way out of the situation. yes definitely definitely we need to work holistically no individual that on land and non-government organization and

accuracy is not come together. we need to develop our source also horses don't basically have an education system and. training systems will incorporate. equalities whenever we are out in front of them and empowerment thing we must also try to think about eating and training men to respect women search not only that resort to each woman to be empowered and that we should also teach men to be more inclusive and to be more equal in. getting to there and also need to yes right now i mean perfect both sides need to. thank you so much professor singh from banaras in the university in india thank you so much free time. now from the psychological side effects of lock down to the physical ones of vaccines time for derek to answer your questions. on what systems exist in

the e.u. for the ongoing monitoring and vaccine side effects. the central authority responsible for recommending and of monitoring back seems in the european union is the european medicines agency or e.a. and a which was set out to harmonize these kinds of activities in the block the vaccines greenlighted so far in a conditional market approval in the e.u. are now in what's often called phase 4 when a vaccine is rolled out to the public on a wide scale but even after that happens a clinical trials continue and the vaccines are monitored closely for years the monitoring tracks long term effectiveness of course but it's also set up to identify any adverse reactions or other potential dangers that were missed in

earlier large scale trials so so what's called a pharmacovigilance system as employees it's pretty complex but also pretty tightly networked and the agency says it helps and the reports from patients and from health care professionals to be analyzed extensively a lot of people distrust and from asian issued directly by pharmaceutical companies when it comes to how safe and effective they say their products are to assuage that distrust and help promote transparency the e m a set up its own network and management system for for tracking suspected side effects of of not just vaccines but of any medication approved in the e.u. the euro. paean database is told you drop vigilance in it you can read any reports of suspected adverse vaccine a facts on a on a country by country basis and it's updated every week so if you're interested and

want to see what's being reported firsthand i urge you to take a look it's really informative and it's easy to use. now if you want to get vaccinated in rwanda the 1st doses of the prize a covert 1000 shots are coming your way under the global kovacs vaccine sharing scheme that's it's thanks for watching. into the conflict zone with jim sebastian of. the world health organization is on the phone from deleuze whoso exists so lose billions you've chosen the during the pandemic my guess is we should go to megan is a european leader with the red silk of the w.h.o. comes clear to those children as asian from the ducks to stand up to the chinese when it leads to. conflict zones to fight the next fucking d.w. . cocaine trafficking and brute force in the netherlands

16 drug dealers are now on trial it is the largest criminal case. and it involves the kind of violence that the mother lives has never seen. at the heart of the issue lies one question who truly controls the country. and some kids from her home in 60 minutes on t.w. . we're all such a ticket to good beyond t.l.c.'s. extreme take on the world. i took all the bags nearly all of the stories that matter to you. would not take

on a policeman from a big pay. cut. we are here is actually on fire. right now what we have to do is to do everything we can to get out of the from them excuse of the chinese communist party will do so of the global public as of today we are not set up to signal all countries why has that been no formal and public protest about trying that withholding the data you asked for why don't you explain that to me we are very good focus on saving light the world health organization is under fire from governments and scientists over the beans with china during the pandemic many think it's been too soft on beijing and too willing to accept

everything it's told my guest this week from copenhagen is the european regional director for the w.h.o. hans kluger his organization of the box found out that the chinese when it needs to . come to school go welcome to conflict zone your recent fact finding mission in wartime has provoked a firestorm of criticism from many scientists and others around the world complaining that your messaging seems to give far too much support to china's preferred narratives which are neither impartial nor objective why are you doing that. well let me remind you that i'm the region's record for the region which covers the 53 european member states right in china doesn't belong to that one but if i speak from let's say a genetic point of view did

a poor is being written up as if we are speaking no will be made available and if we take it to the issue of transparency accountability and reinforcement of the international health regulations that's globally speaking certainly one of the main points that the independent panel for pandemic preparedness and review is looking at right now well you don't see that independent because you know you're pushing the notion the virus may have circulated elsewhere outside china before it was identified in woodland and that is one of beijing's favorite scenarios at the moment this idea was even included in your missions terms of reference document and this had to agreed be agreed by the chinese government before you were actually allowed into the country so you were towing china's line right from the start weren't you well. please allow me to remind you i am the region director for the 53

european member states not a director general in geneva i think this question would be very best versed to a degree told geneva or the west pacific region but let me make a more generic point here that the world health organization is not the world health inspectorate we are governed by do world's nations right and that's something for. your credibility is on the line here your credibility is being questioned. last year japan's deputy prime minister actually called you the chinese health organization as opposed to the world health organization. so i want you worried about your credibility what's happening to him is that in the world health organization is a technical organization and from the very beginning dubnyk show has been acting fast if you look at the 1st report was sent to the ritual the 31st of december

immediately after degree 2 triggered the structure it's called incident management structure to get ready for an alarm at the highest level that is what's happening and of course there will be what we call a very for in sick after action review who said what who said what to who die or has a right now i understand that and will for your full report your full report is still awaited but up until this point you've you've upset a lot of people the american bio safety expert and professor of chemical biology for instance richard a bright spoke for many when he called your mission a share rod it has no credibility he said its members were willing in the end they were at least one case eager participants in this information to pre-determined preordain purpose of your mission was to raise the false flag proposal that the

virus originated outside china and arrived in will hand through international travel or internationally shipped frozen food no serious person he said. was if i were. right oh $2.00 points if i made the 1st one is still in the midst of the pandemic so we are focused on saving lights including a global roll out of the vaccination number 2 as i am responsible for european region we already are taking forward very important lessons learnt from the pandemic. well you maybe take you for lessons but you're upsetting a lot of people in the process the white house itself the biden and ministrations said last month we have deep concerns about the way in which the early findings of the investigation were communicated and questions about the process used to reach them the fact is this mission of yours that went to war and may actually have made things worse my dead relatives i don't want to speculate because i think that would

be unfair as my territory is the 53 member states over here but as i was mentioning the degree to director general was tasked by the work of assembly last year to establish independent panel for a pandemic protection review which has delivered its 1st interim 2nd interim report recently to the executive board and they for sure will be doing the job what we're doing here in the region every single day and talking to ministers to prime minister to presidents right from what they make at night and to help them to contain the virus where everybody is awake at night wondering whether they will get to the bottom of the central question which is how did this outbreak 1st a car now at one point during your mission to china china refused to hand over information that the w.h.o. had been requesting for some time my question to you is why did the organization

not insist on access to all relevant data before you actually went to china well i think that's a question of. the geneva but we'll let you quote you keep in avoiding any questions. you represent the w.h.o. and therefore you have to sell what they're doing in china an investigation to your european partners i'm asking how you can do this well they seem to be obvious holes running away this investigation has been proceeding. i have a mandate write a report to the 50 city degree to european member states but of course we're part of a global organization absolutely right and that's why in any degree short of foreign i think germany has been quite straightforward on that one when it had the e.u. presidency and which is a very strong supporter of a double reform that there is an issue globally vif accountability and the reinforcement of the international regulations particularly if countries or not

allowing independent mission or if they do not share data at the global level and that's something that has to be taken forward the w.h.o. is as strong as that piece that we are giving to and as of today we are not set up to single out countries why why has there been no formal and public protest about china withholding the data you asked for why. can you explain that as i was mentioning the degree cho is working with its member states it is government by world nations to protect health know there is a independent panel which is looking right at the mandate of the ritual should be strengthened and one of the main outcomes of the inn i must warn you that your attorney is now answering over your opinion now of china withholding vital that is standard practice standard practice to ask for in the case of a an outbreak of

a pandemic now do you prioritize 2500000 people around the world who are now dead from this virus well over 100000000 infected or are you just content to satisfy the whims and desires of the chinese communist party which is more important for you do you serve the chinese communist party or do you serve the global public because it doesn't look as though you serve the public at the moment i am serving there tim i am serving as i have told a number of times now the 53 dublin utopian member states right that's what i'm busy with working around the clock with states to get it and there is a degree of form which will be decided by the work of assembly inmate right now what we have to do is to do everything we can to get out of the pandemic and how do we do it number one scaling up defection nation effort very important number 2 to be very vigilant that the mutants do not decrease the efficacy of defects finance

asking or i understand i understand. about that but you're not answering my questions which are focused on your mission to china and the concerns that it has raised clear concerns internationally both in europe and america now in the course of the visit for china is not that it's not my mission team this is not my mission this is a mission of the world which has. be decided by the work of assembly you run for senate of our house hotel our nation in europe mr cohen you were representing the world health organization in your many people in europe are very concerned that this mission wasn't independent wasn't objective and hasn't done a proper job. right and if one has a regular station right to in well what i'm doing 3 point number one deborah chu has been acting fast from the very moment that report came out of one number

one number 2 the degree to european region is already acting upon lessons learnt a number 3 we are taking forward already the most crucial issue which is to get out of the pandemic that is the top priority that i am busy with as the leader of the ritual europe in the 5th remember states them that i am and understand that i want to talk about the mission to go hand in the course of their visit there your team poured cold water on the theory that the virus may have leaked from a laboratory and caused the outbreak there they called it highly unlikely and that too has provoked a wave of condemnation from scientists across the world why is the theory of a leak from a war on the barratry so unlikely as far as your team is concerned. well i would like to stick to my mandate of the 53 director european member state but of course i'm in contact with my colleagues right and the particularly the director of

the country office in china one of the best public health experts i know the geneva and i think really that we should give the mission the tone the equate this space to finish the report which will be followed by a press conference and then all this questions ben can be asked i think until the report is finalized that we should give them the space to look at the different heap of this really well we already have plenty of statements from the team plenty of statements from the team leader which have caused concern so we have to deal with what has been said already it goes to the heart of the credibility of your organization when there were questions raised about safety issues in. your team leader ben and barak said on february the 8th they were reassured by hearing of the high bio safety protocols hans laboratories what what else were the

chinese going to tell them where they're going to admit them and there they had safety problems well how naïve this is this state i was not that i yes meant to represent me. sure but let's be straight forward here i'm responsible for the 53 member states to richard if you want to know concerns about this notion to work are you telling me that you have no concerns about absolutely no we concern we are meeting every 2 weeks with the director director general with the 6 regional directors as the global policy group to exchange and what are the lessons the lessons are number one no any country no any organization was ready for a pandemic of such magnitude i think that is the 1st thing and we have to work on that one the 2nd issue is that on them prepared this is a global public goods and that's why established the pan european commission on

health and sustainable development to keep a black health at the top of the political agenda and assert one which you have to work on is the trust of the people in science which are also discussed to dr anthony fauci recently because if the people lose the trust in science then we would be vulnerable for any future pandemic while the point is that the scientists are losing faith in you and there's international condemnation from scientists let me give you an example bruno come out from france's national center for scientific research said that by pouring cold water on scientific theories and pushing beijing's narratives the w.h.o. has been committing credibility suicide there were so many conflicts of interest obfuscations in your team investigation he said it's as if you'd asked iran's president to lead an international check on his own nuclear program you can hardly be indifferent can you to the kinds of criticisms that you're getting from

scientists. right we are absolutely not indifferent i mean overly solid like this you sound like. no no absolutely not and absolutely not i mean leaving no one behind that's the core of the whole mission right and we need to look how to improve but let me remind you that degree cho it's like a good employee a government organization right so the member states are setting the agenda we try to identify the best practices to share the best practices but we are not calling out country snow it's up to the member states if they would like to revise the international has a glacial but i think we should not underestimate the fantastic work which has been doing by experts by the stuff of the ritual giving every ounce of themselves day and night to try to get out of this pandemic and this is still to go to distill to save lives and to suppress the transmission particularly with the rapid spread of

the mutants do you trust china does the w.h.o. trust china the over king with all member state that's not what i asked you and little that's not what i asked you i asked you whether the w.h.o. trusts the information that china gives you it's a yes or no or hell it's a yes so there you go i stand right so china does not belong to the w.a.p. region tim i mean that you have to acknowledge so i think that's not the whole thing about which you have not talk i'm talking about the w.h.o. as a whole the world health organization is a how would you represent in europe and i'm asking you a simple question which has a yes or no answer which you don't seem to want to answer does the w.h.o. trust what it the information it gets from china that's a pretty simple question yes or no do you. absolutely and we have longstanding relationship with all doubly actual member states we have country offices in 156

countries the day after the 1st report was coming out of whom we were in touch with the chinese authorities but this is a evolutionary process even do one mission we not come back with all the answers more questions are giving rise to more questions and 2005 if i do as he said you have done has stood you correctly you're saying absolutely you do trust the information you get from china is that right the all working to get their hand in hand with all the member states we have been asking data we have been asking service the old member states but don't press me please particularly on the china mission because we have a region that acted in the west pacific region it would be very unfair from b. to answer those questions into detail i have not been there that would be speculation so i am here working then i put the 50 member states of the directory

in region and i think i really would like to stick to that mandate well i want to ask you if you're so keen to say that you do trust child when you've been working closely with china china is one of the most strictly censored countries in the world so to accept anything they tell you without supporting evidence would be extremely risky you'd have to agree to that wouldn't you but i think again this is not a question to meet him right to me but it is a question to you i am what i'd be telling you represent the world health organization in europe you have to have and i think that most important thing that has hit the hit the w.h.o. in many years. sure but this is a federated organization right you have 3 levels over there i think it also have to acknowledge is quite unique in the united nations so we have a director headquartered in geneva we have the 6 regional offices and i am here representing the world health organization about the men they from the 53 degrees

member states and that's what we're doing we acted fast in the european region even before the 1st case was attacked that in france we already put up 8 incident management structure and since then everyone has been repro filed into office over here learning lessons during the pandemic to improve public health infrastructure to get health at the top of the political agenda and to really move forward as the model and technical force toward universal health coverage yes but none of that is any good if you are not trusted if you are not trusted and you are not trusted at the moment and the u.s. state department acumen china chime in with whom you're working closely it accused china of systematically preventing a transparent and thorough investigation of covert 900 origin's choosing instead to devote enormous resources to deceit and this information now you as an organization has really sort of the can i say it can i just finish the question please you as an

organization have released information which china gave you without any warning that it comes from a sense and state so you are part of the problem aren't you if they have been if the u.s. state department is correct and china has been putting out in deceit and this information you have also put out to sea and this information. well get him you were mentioning a number of times the united states of america 2 weeks ago i had acting investor of the united states of america here india. reach was very clearly expressing the tourist industry to ship of the directories office for europe and we see collaboration in many i had to talk to the region director of the united states central control with dr anthony so that i felt a very strong level of trust every single day i had a conversation with the prime minister the president's we also involved to use the

civil society so maybe did we have to agree to disagree but i don't see how we can because the white house itself said last month as i pointed out earlier we have deep concerns about the way in which the early findings of the war and investigation were communicated and questions about the process used to reach them that doesn't sound as though the white house is very impressed with what with what you've been doing doesn't. there is a process in place not him and i think we have to give the process ample time to do its job and meanwhile what we really have to focus on i mean we saw a decrease in the number of cases a decrease in the number of deaths but no we see a resurgence and we see a faster in smith's ability of the mutants the people are very very tired of the public of restrictions and i think this is the top priority as of today let's get this around the table and then after which we will do a forensic examination what happened what could have been done better what went

wrong and we're very open minded after the able old break dug ritual tremendous leader for and with the digital health emergency program but right no the focus is on saving lives and this can only be done. effort him leaving no one behind and this collective effort can only function if there's trust in it and i'm telling you and those scientists that i've been quoting and others have been. telling you that that trust isn't there and one of the reasons that trust isn't there is that during the course of this pandemic 'd you have repeatedly thank to beijing for sharing the map of the genetic map of the virus immediately you said which wasn't true and you said its work and commitment to transparency were very impressive and beyond words that was a gross distortion wasn't it to praise china for transparency knowing how it's threatened and heresy those of its citizens who try to tell the truth that is a huge insult to those tourist is very important interest is very important i fully

agree and you lot are very important in fact the this is the court well i would have a different opinion here i mean the core of my vision for health in the region is all about what do the citizens expect from their health authorities and we have a very sort of truth truth that they absolutely truth expect the truth it's a human right to have an ambition to tell the. truth will come out in but let's be very sure it hasn't been too coming out she says and probably you haven't been putting out the truth you've been thanking beijing for transparency when they've been arresting and intimidating people who try to tell the truth and you know that . well this is outside of the director european region control i don't want to speculate over here because i'm really working in the 53 countries but let's what is my concern my concern is that the loss of trust of the citizens in science and

public health because if we don't get that one corrected we will be very vulnerable for a future pandemic and that's what we're working very hard on with the use with the civil society with the patron of this office that we have to bring in those voices and be very self-critical but right no i would like to repeat because it's so important is to suppress the fires because the fire is still out there tim and we really have to focus on that one and pull together people deserve the truth millions of people who over 100000000 people infected 2 and a half 1000000 people died people deserve the truth they haven't been getting the full truth either from china or from you how we can you possibly restore trust in your organization unless you're seeing to address that central issue yes when i am hearing different voices to be honest i'm definitely they'd need to be

improvement of each agency but this lack of trust that you are citing in the region is not what i'm hearing i have been calling 2 times of hoke my governing body board to look what we are doing to criticize if neat and to go forward and in that sense trust yes i mean trust is very difficult to build it's easy to be lost it's a never ending story but right now doubly sure is the only milty lateral moral and technical force to inspire countries to achieve health for all and we can go to very difficult places that no one else can go including fragile states so that is very important how screw grasping good to have you on the program thanks very much indeed. my pleasure.
