6 decades later homemade tributes skybound. hundreds of space enthusiasts gathered to launch cardboard and plastic rockets into the air in st petersburg celebrating cosmonaut extend a pantry living memories flooded me across graham was part of the ground control team at the launch 60 years ago. we had a few sleepless nights before i pull 12 so on the day we felt anxious to be honest i really needed to sleep but i was so tense i couldn't even close my eyes. we had to keep working. the mission showcased soviet union's technological lead 1st into space before the united

states the goal of the launch of eureka garren had a colossal propaganda effect. they became so important because suddenly we were kona the united states the other group you. guarantee success supercharged the space race and cemented the soviet union as a space superpower the position that russia still holds today to the international space station and you and your good performance cause a quick look and decide if you're in a true pioneer now remember when year ago last spring when many parts of the world went into their 1st lockdown the traffic jams disappeared the air pollution went away and in some cases wildlife even started showing up on empty streets and in quite neighborhoods it was a reminder that although the pen demick was bad news for humans it was

a good thing for the environment in thailand the popular resort island of puke it reopens the show life for vaccinated for travellers but the locals will now be so much more aware of the value of nature. this is like something straight out of a tourist brochure islands like oh yeah yeah i koala noir and. are the envy of the international tourist industry but since the start of the pandemic for and tourism has been banned for now locals have this paradise all to themselves. has lived here all his life he's one of the last of the semi-nomadic people an ethnic group whose way of life is under threat. in our traditional way with the spear but it's not easy. sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't because the fish are fast and swim zigzag. sutanto is a master at fishing and hunts. recently he's noticed

a surprising and quite unexpected change. corona is good for the environment there are fewer boats fewer tourists and also less trash they used to be a lot more of all that here. fishing is easier now i used to spend hours looking for fish but since corona there's plenty of them. with the tourists gone life underwater visibly blossomed. corals have recovered. fish stocks have multiplied and animals that haven't been seen for years have reappeared. for corona $40000000.00 tourists came to thailand each year 33000000 of them went on

beach holidays along the coast and then suddenly they all disappeared all the boats are gone but there are no more beach parties no more noise there's less sewage and rubbish from the hotels what a difference. but while empty beaches are a boon for the environment they spell economic ruin for many in the community tourism is thailand's most important source of income even environmentalist agree it's about striking a balance. without tourism without the desire for these wonderful holiday destinations people would never have understood the importance of preserving nature they wouldn't care if the corals died anyone who goes to the seaside sees beauty and wants to protect it we can't have 0 tourism but we can't stop the pre corona madness. a gentler kind of tourism could be the way forward

more regulations more environmentally friendly from july. to welcome back tourists who have been vaccinated only then will it be clear whether the economy and the environment are compatible the return of tourists. will have to share this piece of paradise once again and hopefully this time the tourists will share with him more sustainably. since force is now free in the bundesliga minds boosted their survival chances with a late victory against cologne while the 32 win continues their climb up the table but the result means the end of the road for cologne coach. he's been fired with the team stuck in the relegation zone. marcus gives dos cologne had a one in 7 games at home coach would have feared the worst one minute scored with their 1st shot on goal john paul put the finishing touches on

tributed to the islands remarkable success in keeping numbers low something that was visible when a small outbreak hit a large hospital back in january located near the airport told in hospital was one of taiwan's keepers that guess the virus authorities had to stand the 5th of come from cases here for cheap men since the start of 2020 but in january this year and infected dr ticker the fresh outbreak several of his coworkers were later tested positive taiwan based its biggest core of the virus crisis since the start of the pandemic in the. hospital acquired infections very serious and hard to control the patients in the hospital need health care workers to take care of them. there next to each other it's impossible to just quarantine hospital workers and leave patients alone you were in. a. long work 7

demick command center has 13 decided to set himself up in the hospital to directly oversee communications from the command center but. we had to contain the virus cunny time. in the large hospital of more than 2600 employees in the route 700 in patients who were wrong decision coolly to the charge of the similar to the 2003 sars outbreak then the government locked down a hospital where even healthy people were not allowed to leave leading to 154 infections and 31 death. it was ok when there were only one or 2 cases in the hospital. but when there were more and more people come from positive we were definitely nervous we were afraid of getting phone calls in the middle of the night hearing about yet another new case for your chips at this time the command center

reacted quickly. jackie all possible contacts and hold quarantining over 4300 people they also transferred negative test to patients to other hospitals to decrease the workload on the staff after 14 days with no new come from pay says all hospital employee is happy to do mass testing to convince the public that the hospital is safe in 44 days it was contained with only 21 cases and just one death transparency and honesty is the very important and you hope to the people the reason why you want to have. a very strange encounter very strange in home quarantine and this is why we have to show that a with as they do this very very useful to prevent a future pandemic chance said no car cheese can fight alone but i would like to emphasize that important thing is the prudence of it as we have to keep by all the

possible outbreak in all the countries to prevent its spread off now tell and hospital is back to relative normality the sars experience reminded the government and its people not to let history repeat itself a lesson not only for taiwan but for the world in its approach to tackling this vast breading virus. is a researcher on global covert 19 strategery of the university of edinburgh and joins me now from leeds in the u.k. jay welcome know you studied global responses to the corner about a spender mic in your assessment what has taiwan done well. well taiwan focused very early on on having an elimination strategy they were not keen on this idea of having community transmission where we've got the virus in a population so had a very early very rapid and focused effort to eliminate any cases and clusters that

were emerging from the initial a china connection then how were they able to implement this or if actively didn't have any previous experience with tackling pandemics that came in handy well the sars pandemic of 2003 certainly came in and they they had the planning they had the pre coded infrastructure to deal with pandemics well but above all they recognize that acting quickly. and trying to protect public health 1st of all in an attempt to recover economies after the pandemic were crucial and certainly applied those lessons to cope with $1000.00 very well it would appear that what you're saying is it's quite it makes a lot of sense to put it simply i'm just wondering why other countries could not draw the same lesson early on in the pandemic. well

it's a difficult question to answer but perhaps one of the reasons is adopting an influenza approach or a flu approach which many western countries had rather than a sas plant i suppose the primary difference between the 2 is that flu favors some level of end in this city i.e. some some speculation in the population to build immunity now the problem is that sars coronavirus 2 is much more lethal it's much more transmissible. and so that approach just simply would not work. it is also down to the fact for earlier on in the pandemic it wasn't really well known how infectious new coronavirus the new coral virus is possibly yes but in any respect that actually enforces the need to drive down cases to as low as possible as quickly as possible when there are so many unknowns exercising what's

called the precautionary principle certainly has a lot of value and in the western countries we didn't really see that approach instead what we saw was affirmative to the existing flu plans which were clearly not compatible with this virus right where you live there for the time member thank you so much for joining us draper terrell from the university of edinburgh and one of those struggling with an increasing number of cases is the philippines since march of the country has been seeing thousands of new daily infections just yesterday reduced ring some 11000 new cases the spurt has taken its toll on already stretched medical resources. a covert 19 intensive care ward in manila a made this crisis the sick patient are in fact lucky to even have a bed unprecedented demand has left hospitals tony desperate people away.

building makeshift tents to accommodate the result. last be. the nati of all last week was are washed scenario we have 400 beds in ward and 100 beds in i.c.u. what happened was i had to borrow 50 i.c.u. so we had 450 beds in ward all of them were occupied and then only 50 beds were left for i.c.u. so right. and 50 beds the ones i see. the government has provided extra money to expand capacity in the system but health care professionals warn that's an acute shortage of stuff isn't even baker can sound. japan is busking in the north another sporting achievement on sunday he dickey matsuyama became the 1st japanese mom to win one of golf's major titles the prestigious

vaccinated in europe and one of the highest covert related death rates won't wide relative to its population health care workers say restrictions should have been in place sooner and should stay in place longer access to hunger in hospitals for independent media to verify what's going on is almost impossible the one doctor who dared to speak on camera about the situation inside our correspondent funny reports . soldiers money or people checking into his hospital treating patients when we start to film the building go there and do your t.v. thing over there they ask us to film the parking lot according to staff inside the hospital is at capacity one doctor has to take care of 10 patients and oxygen is in short supply these are just some of the claims for hearing from inside the hospital from a doctor but we cannot verify these claims as all sorts of board independent media

from entering that doctor is. we need him after his shift 120 hour working weeks on the average now he says but the hungry and government says everything is under control. all of them out of any we've heard a lot from the prime minister that those who get sick shouldn't worry that they will be cured that we have extra medical staff but where are they every day we're left wondering what to do we not have time for today what did i forget. most of his colleagues don't want to talk in public because they're worried about repercussions. we need to reach the people not to create panic but to save people this is what this is about and this is why you need to follow the rules. in an open letter to the government a large number of journalists requested access to hospitals prime minister viktor orban responded in a televised interview. with now most of this is not the time to go inside hospitals

and produce bogus videos and fake news. is a photo journalist he too would like to show what's happening in hungary right now . stop filming the hospital it's a public space or it's a very common situation says martin. sam out of the past this affects the people who want to know the real situation inside the hospitals. as of one we know that more than 300 people died today. o'keefe uneasy it's hard to tell the story behind those numbers. meanwhile many young people in hungary are starting to shed their masks without knowing what's really going on in hungary hospitals to them it might seem as if the pen demick is already over. to shine a light on the situation in hungary to what you know secret joins us she's a senior researcher at the center for social sciences in budapest is it time to be

easing restrictions or is the crisis only getting worse. well my estimate is that the crisis so. completely at its peak and hungary we have extremely high mortality rates of. her that we are going to. have that day so that was. not. yet. what is the i hope you are in also why if i can jump in there when when the government's doing so well with its vaccination drive. effect with us the other thing we have a very high that's a nation of 8 at the same time people get into hospital they they are in the really terrible situation current day hungary and these maybe 2 to speed fast cars i would say was one of them as. the.

s.s. the public institution such as the move. in defend the ins in 2017 and since it has seen under. control this means that we are not getting enough information and various cannot really tell their ideas their expertise in so this is some so far that because the citizens are. probably the other if you may be the center of cuts to the host expenditure in hungary recently not only yourself but. under the or by governments and the 3rd was is the most of my great. care stuff from hungary and in the fast the a. how is the situation with the hospitals on the military bill why

is that and what that affecting the situation. well you know what because i have been put under military rule the other the other assess the situation and this means that there is either for or through. by that public because that is where we console over the course and also that they cannot. access their opinions in the media really and the media use not let into hospitals this was not. to ace and you know how people are here or the photos or the stars of the earth is are doing going to amazing top. but it limits the information that the awfully and the media make that is you know worrying whatever the situation may be. we don't offer from

a cell usually house but this is a. situation like the regular hungary and i believe this is one of the only countries in the world to refuse any sort of extension of unemployment benefits in this pandemic. yes the fund that make us in no does not only have tests related consequences but also a lot of really severe social consequences so in hungary disliking other parts of the herd many people hundreds of thousands of less. but i suppose other countries including our fellow sensory european countries in hungary no accents and so the unemployment benefits this summer maybe this we lost. this with was the we solely in the developers before that and then may was 3

months of a must must a moment of lying months in for him benefit that means that after that 3 months is gone you can or cannot face some sort of a leftist at a very low amount and in general most of the both of those. people are not so that whole in the state system so they are left without any properly assessed. when they are low for unemployed and this fellow at that rate before especially those who have been and best are in a certain facts or events on and so forth i also believe the government should use the crisis to push through a motion to see measures to make life harder for the l g b t community. you know some of the m.o. since the measures have not much to do with coffee itself but rather the

government's political incense and through. constant basham measures including. the bad. things of 1st i was let out and this is to come for gay couples. and the other one is. that sexual people over to change their sex and their ids with the game does not pass. anything with them but rather an idealized government. who celebrates. it would have to be that that the hijab she cried on the latest developments in the past thank you very much. on the topic of mass vaccination campaigns a mutation is his our very own dairy williams with today's veal question.

is there a link between mass vaccination and mutation of the virus. like other pathogens sars kovi to mutates constantly and vaccines do have an impact on its evolution but a less direct one bend for example a theoretical antiviral treatment because the 2 work in different ways drugs work by wiping out an active infection while back scenes work by preventing them from occurring in the 1st place wiping out an existing infection with a medicine applies a kind of spore earth selection pressure the only pathogens that survive are those like these with mutations that make them resistant to the medicine and only

they go on to spawn the next generation that's why drug resistance is such a common problem nowadays because we put pathogens under massive pressure to evolve quickly in a very particular direction which is to grow resistant to a medication by deploying vaccines on a wide scale we're also having an impact on virus evolution but a more subtle one by making a lot of people resistant infection we can drastically reduce opportunities for a virus to spread so we're also upping the selection pressure but in a different way when the supply of potential hosts grows limited because many people are vaccinated viruses that have for example. mutated to be more infectious they'll have a clear advantage and well on average in fact more people that's why more

infectious variants can supplant less infectious and central ones over time and there are indications that this is happening in many places now with sars kovi to. thanks for watching if they say and see you again sir.
