and the 2nd house and then gave to loan us care as for old ben but it also made it $32.00 just after the hour but the visitors held on to claim 3 vital points in their bid for survival. you're watching daily news live from berlin stay tuned for our coverage special see. the fight against the corona virus pandemic. has the rate of infection been developing what does the latest research say. information and context the coronavirus update 19 specials. on t w. i was issued when i arrived here i slept with 6 people in a room very similar it was hard it was for. i even got white hairs.
5:16 am
learning the german language not a lot this gives me a little but you need to instruct the slave you want to know their story lines her fighting and reliable information for margaret. the world health organization says vaccine has a time see is among the top 10 threats to global health. skeptics around the world have taken to the streets to protest against code 19 jabs. cough the french are hesitant about getting the shot. in germany it's a quarter of the population. but experts agree will only beat the virus with vaccines. well despite all the skepticism the bigger
5:17 am
problem has been getting enough doses but not in serbia it has such a vast surplus that they had been inoculated nonresidents still the abundance of vaccine doesn't help when many people just want it they don't use reports. yet it is the next person in one's turn about 4000 doses are being administered here today at the biggest coffee vaccination center in the country has procured some 15000000 vaccines for a population of 7000000. serbia has more vaccines on offer than serbians to want them in fact there's a surplus of russia on all chinese and up other vaccines so the country have been inviting foreigners to take the jabs the emphasis is on had on the 9th of april the government decided to suspend the vaccination for a nurse on to food
5:18 am
a notice about $30000.00 had received the vaccine so far a lot of foreigners came back to now it's impossible because of the commission of the government so they need to be a resident here or get married here or something like that. for for now the announcement came after infection rates began rising again the government had apparently realised he needed to convince more of its own citizens to get a jap 1st at least one in 3 people in serbia believes to some extent in conspiracy theories that claim they are unsafe. i need to get there's an equality and we will see everyone who got the vaccine will soon die. i think of it is not safe enough for me and that's why i don't want to get is to 2 days and that skepticism is also apparent great streets restaurants are food open and almost no one is wearing
5:19 am
a mask epidemiology sort of by the final each says the government focused too much on positive news about procuring vaccines why not doing enough to actually stem the spread of the virus. of a populist the government and our leader was. all for demonstrating that is here's more able than anyone on arrows any idea really there to provide what is needed and he ignores the fact that it 1st in our society to educate people so far about 1200000 people have been fully vaccinated in subiaco according to official numbers a high percentage by comparison with other countries in europe but far from enough to spend in an effort to increase immunizations the government has no storage focusing on its own citizens instead of foreigners if you could understand serbian you would be able to read the message on the side of this local bus it says get
5:20 am
vaccinated. let's talk about vaccines skepticism within a nigeria college of physicians of philadelphia the fact we have a vaccine is a blessing why then all the nonbelievers. why the number leavers it's a really good question i guess it's part of human nature to question things around us to see risk in other people and assume that it's the same risk for us and so you know you're going to have a spectrum of people who absolutely believe in the science absolutely even vaccines and then you're going to have a on the other end people who will not get a vaccine no matter what you tell them or are you explain to them because they have to proceed risk of it no matter what they see i mean it's great to question things i'm a journalist i have to do it every day but that same skepticism is as old as the vaccine itself has there been a was there some sort of specific historical incident that had justify the skepticism not not one specific there's been
5:21 am
a serious several one throughout history right because you know vaccine science has . has been bad for the last 200 years and now along the way there have been incidents that may or may not justify some of their feelings the most the most recent one was i mean explained phenomena with the h one n one vaccine in which people had markel epsy and we know that that happens to people who are predisposed to narcolepsy or exposed to a viral the disease and so whether or not it would have done it for the vaccine or from actually getting flu you know that that could have it in in the 1950 s. there was a choir incident here in the u.s. with the polio vaccine were a laboratory built properly field oh you iris and ended up costing about 200 cases of paralysis from polio on what should have been an otherwise safe vaccine so yes along the way there's been incidents that have been amplified if you will by the end. something that happens very very often when in fact it's actually very rare
5:22 am
explain 12 year was how anti semitic conspiracy theories also play a role in the anti vacs movement. yeah so you know it's not just ed he's a medic but anti minority anti anybody who was marginalized through excluded and so you know throughout history jewish people have been persecuted and they have been the minority ethnic minority religious minority and so when it comes time to find somebody who is guilty for whatever ails a society in this case with with vaccine reactions and they turn to to those those conspiracy theories in more modern times who have been spirited theories about jewish people controlling bio bio security or controlling pharmaceutical companies and then why don't you just make money radio so one of the tropes of the semitism and not going not caring if you will about children getting hurt from the vaccine so it's a combination of historical factors of persecution of these kinds of groups combined with conspiracy theories and now in modern day so media where one small lie can
5:23 am
spread and become very very big can you also explain why in some countries it's the ethnic minorities that are especially skeptical about access. yeah because you know it you have the colonizers right the western european powers even when spain spain in the case alone america england in the case of north america who have colonized. ethnic minority groups in foreign countries and in doing so have used used and abused in the united states we have the original sin of slavery and so you have a history of hundreds and hundreds of years of the authorities the government the dominant political force are dominant people abusing the minorities and so they see anything that comes their way as a mandate as something that date they must do for whatever reason they see it as yet another imposition on them by this whole colonial power or this abuse of
5:24 am
insulating power and so they get skeptical and in many cases there are some small instances in that justify it so for example in the united states puerto rico they had a they have an island there be a beautiful island that was bombarded by the u.s. navy for years and a lot of the people in puerto rico are skeptical of the u.s. government because of that and other abuses that took place on their own island and so now when they are being told by the same government that to them to get a vaccine they're highly skeptical so rene give me the hard sell as a scientist how would you convince an anti vaccine. we found through science through research through surveys and through focus groups that the best way to get at somebody is by having one of their peers necessary to secure them not somebody who is inferior not somebody who is smarter or more educated rich or whatever so many who is there appear at their level explain to them the benefits of vaccination
5:25 am
explain to them the side effects if any of getting a vaccine and we've seen it with the coven and seeing that scene where we had a lot of skeptical people at 1st who are now turning turning around and wanting the vaccine for senior peers their neighbors or friends getting the vaccine having a little bit of a side effect afterwards you know a little bit of like illness for a day or so and getting much better and then also seeing that the the people who are vaccinated are not becoming sick and they're not becoming part of outbreaks when the see that from their peers especially they have changed their minds and so that is one of the signs and evidence proving ways to get at somebody who is skeptical about vaccination i don't mind at all if a white means i get in line quicker right here a college of physicians of philadelphia thanks for being on the show today thank you for having. and for the last time this week here's our science correspondent derek williams with another viewer question about x.c. it's. i was vaccinated
5:26 am
a few days ago my arm didn't touch and i didn't have any side effects is that normal. i talked a lot here about vaccine side effects so it's great to hear from someone who had none because that's actually really common i haven't been back summated yet but among friends and family who have i'd say roughly half told me they didn't notice a thing afterwards although the statistics will vary from from vaccine to vaccine it looks like for most of them at least a 3rd of all recipients don't report even the mildest of side effects like like injection site pain or or a little bit of swelling there's no way to predict in advance exactly how you'll react but but experts say 2 factors clearly increase the likelihood that you'll feel some kind of discomfort after getting a shot the 1st is your sex recent c.d.c.
5:27 am
data shows that around 4 out of 5 reports of vaccine side effects have come from women with which doesn't come as a surprise really since that's also been observed in the past with many other types of vaccine a number of biological and and possibly even social reasons seem to contribute to that phenomenon the 2nd factor that plays a role is your age younger people are a lot more likely to report side effects than those over 55 which is another result backed up by experience with past that it seems the theory they are is that . because the amusing response in general declines with age so in a nutshell having few or no side effects after being vaccinated but isn't
5:28 am
particularly rare and apparently even less. if you're like me a man who's no longer a spring chicken. or mine i could get by next week thanks for watching so i say. dreamily adaptable and fond of travel the domestic mouse. with this personality it's spread throughout the world. and made itself an ideal subject toward evolutionary scientists taking a look inside the mock splunk institute's most cars. tomorrow today. the next on d. w. . blood stains these exhibits. to

dart from the german colonial era after new who want a forum in berlin. to stolen art is casting a shadow over germany's largest cultural project even before it has fully opened. arts 20 or. 30 minutes on d w. oh good times are good for the. already very. drunk on the low side while yes. the industry is controlling your
5:30 am
thoughts for the great books of the 20th century. present a hoax is. pretty limited. choice may 3rd double. cute creatures or plague infested pets. for more than 15000 years the lives of humans and mice have been deeply entwined. we'll be looking at their respective evolutionary journeys on today's show. her. hello and welcome to tomorrow today the science show on d
5:31 am
w. the formation of the sun dates back full in the halls billions years. then came the us . what followed was a process known as biological evolution the 1st animals appeared some 600000000 years ago. humans are a relatively recent phenomena our evolution has been far from linea with new discoveries often turning old assumptions on their head. now thanks to a certain long tailed creature scientists could be one step closer to learning more about the origin of mankind. this mouse comes from taiwan this one is from iran. this one's german. well this one hails from france.
5:32 am
they might look similar but they're all from different some species and genetically quite different. professor touts and his team caught the mice in their home countries and brought them to germany to the monks planck institute for evolutionary biology here they have their very own mice house with 24 rooms where they can stake out territory and. the scientists want to study how different some species undergo evolutionary development. more than window out as mice are a wonderful model for evolution that they adopt very quickly together with humans they've spread all over the globe and adapted to many different climates but they also provide a biomedical model where their genetics are well known and if you identify a gene in the context of an evolutionary development we can look up what its function is which gives us the combination of evolutionary biology and genetics or
5:33 am
misprision. and community. mice have been around for some 500000 years 1st appearing in the area of modern day iran different subspecies soon developed the eastern the western and the southeastern asian house mouse. 15000 years ago they started associating with humans when the hunter gatherers settled in more permanent homes they were drawn by food stocks and food waste. from then on the my spot humans wherever they went the southeastern asian mouse moving to india and china the eastern house most in northern iraq and the western one spreading across the middle east only later did mice come to europe. eastern house came along the danube river that was about 6000 years ago the western mass came across the mediterranean on ships around 3000 years ago ships were
5:34 am
curators middle america common for what i told. ringback later they were carried by ship to the british isles and in the age of exploration to the americas australia and outposts like taiwan and the remote feral island. the residents had to adapt to new conditions such as colder temperatures or different. studying what happens in their genome during this process has changed our understanding of evolution. from annoyances puts and there's always thought that 95 percent of the genome is junk. but we and other scientists discovered that these intermediate areas can actually be the birthplace for new genes and to an extent that we wouldn't have expected. their groups to target is the majority of the genome keeps getting overhauled and most of it is that last. one animals adapt to new surroundings these
5:35 am
genes are used and retained to facilitate the adaptation. another factor driving evolution is the choice of a mate the scientists decided to put western house mice from southern france together with others from the same subspecies from germany. france. the french and german my separated 3 millennia ago so there is far removed from each other as humans are from. but still they're able to breed and what about their offspring. with a father from southern france chose a southern french mate while mice with a german father did for a germany that's because the genes that determine the mating process are passed on from the father. i'm puzzled on noir adopting to new conditions always goes hand in hand with an adaptation of the choice of the mace and switch the food to the rodents need to find a maze that is best adapted to the environment and that's because it was so it's
5:36 am
always a coeval lucian's was a choice that made clothes out of taishan that's how you get different strains emerging from then on mates are only chosen from within the same strain for your body guard duty here. house mine is only reached the german island of helgoland 400 years ago once again they had to adapt quickly owing to a lack of farmland the mines became carnivores feeding on worms and even other dead animals. today the helgoland mice no longer mate with new arrivals from the mainland and the different lines remain separate. the months long institute is also researching what happens when mice from different subspecies mate with each other. germany is home to both the western and the eastern house mouse the 2 are very different genetically but the scientists found they are able to mange however their
5:37 am
offspring are weaker and often suffer from parasites but interestingly individual genes are replaced and the offspring that can help the rodents adapt to changing environmental conditions this is a must for sunni and what's fascinating is that a gene that they have passed on and then become dominant in the other populations examination is mostly about something that was also discovered in humans on the under tolls hybridise ation occurred between them and we still have some neanderthal genes today as white. thanks to the humble house mouse we now better understand how new some species are formed and how adaptation to a new habitat is facilitated by both d.n.a. and behavior changes it's like watching high speed evolution before our very eyes. from hunter gatherers to secularize. all the way to the office over telling our working world has evolved the latest step in the process working from home during
5:38 am
the pandemic one in 5 workers around the world to create jobs home. but even before then millions of people already work from home. in countries including zambia ghana bangladesh and indonesia over 13 percent of workers who work from home. now other nations like germany are playing catch up. when the pandemic hits and germany went into lockdown and a whole back had to begin working from home from one day to the next work posed a whole new set of challenges we visited her in her workspace at home. you know hoffman is an expert on flexible forms of working and is researching the impact of remote work on company. and a whole bag has
5:39 am
a desk job working from home means she now spends no longer in front of her computer. or tried to find some potential times for a meeting with management next week i propose several options but they responded saying they could offer me an appointment at 7 in the evening. you shouldn't really be having meetings at that sort of time but you find yourself making more and more appointments outside normal working hours and i'm glad. it's become a common problem 65 percent of companies report that employees are increasingly likely to be working outside their normal working hours. being at home makes it easier to work more flexibly and there's no commute to an office. yes one international study shows that people are working an average of 48 minutes longer than they used to 56 percent of those questioned said they're working beyond their
5:40 am
contractual obligation it's left a whole bag exhausted she's constantly on call and feels there's no longer any clear separation between housework and her private life she's not alone the survey found that 65 percent of people say that the boundaries of blurred between work and home for parents of young children can be very stressful so it's important to designate working and personal hours. for this needs to be communicated we shouldn't go around thinking they probably assume that i'm available all day so i should answer the phone immediately. i've got into the habit of putting appointments in my calendar that are just me time to make a point that i'm not always available. for. 70 percent questioned in another survey said that their employers can get in touch with them even when they're on holiday working at home also takes a physical toll 40 percent of people questioned in
5:41 am
a phone hoover institute study reported physical ailments such as back ache for many people their makeshift offices at home on time deal for working on a whole bag says she also notices physical side effects. i get very cold feet. and my circulation has suffered and. that's because she tends to move around less at home than she would in the office. sitting at a table for hours on end can restrict blood flow. cold feet is a common problem among people working remotely i've heard that a lot even before the pandemic as far as this problem goes people just need to exercise discipline they need to make sure they stand up broken. and walk around the block for 15 minutes they can do things to prevent it does it make of the. 'd 'd people working from home rely heavily on technology almost 60 percent of people questioned in
5:42 am
a survey said they could do with better equipment and would appreciate it if their employers provided laptops and mobile phones the technology has to be fail proof. tweaked during a virtual meeting there was a problem with the bandwidth so the video link didn't work. these video calls really have been helpful but this time we have to turn off the video function and. it's affects the quality of communication where. many people working from home experience technical difficulties and end up missing online meetings for example. think of the members everyone needs a basic reliable set up to work efficiently from home and then they need to have backup plans just in case i can always use my own phone. or i have gotten used to giving out my private number because at least it's
5:43 am
a stable connection. to the. business but people need to have contingency plans in case things go wrong. but even when the tech works 85 percent of people who work at home say they miss personal contacts. it's good to get positive feedback from colleagues. last week i managed to finish a project i've been working on for 2 years. i was very pleased with that and it was a shame no one was there to share that with. they have to commit our. interaction with colleagues plays a big role in our working lives. with everyone working from home it's harder to maintain these relationships. people should reach out and share
5:44 am
news and so on they need to overcome their reservations take the initiative and communicate with people share good news that needs to be done consciously it can't just be left to chance. there's also less social contact because fewer people are traveling for work. if you as a man believes we're facing lasting change in the way we work. i don't necessarily think there will be fewer business trips in the future and i wouldn't want that to happen i think there are situations in which will need to meet people and see places to get a sense of them but i don't think we need to be catching 6 am flights just for some routine meetings there are other ways to do it. many companies agree before the pandemic some 12000000 people traveled on business in germany every year in all they made 190000000 trips.
5:45 am
but now 61 percent of employers say they're planning to cut down on them more often one consequence of the 19 pandemic is that remote working will become more common it will also probably lead to greater flexibility and fewer business trips thanks to video calls one way or another will never be the same again. cracking nuts as no problem for a parrot. birds with less hardy big. on the other hand have to settle for soft if. the natural world is constantly adapting to its environment the process takes place over generations. global warming however is progressing at an alarming speed. prompting mohamed rug up from egypt to ask. how is climate change affecting wild animals. global warming means winters are
5:46 am
getting warmer and shorter in many places. that's altering plant animal habitats with some destructive results. bears don't hibernate anymore or at least not as long as they used to when they would fatten themselves up in the full for a 6 month rest. nowadays bears can eat well into the winter only going into hibernation when nothing was available. since it's also now gets warmer earlier they wake up that much sooner. their respirators cut short and at that time there's nothing around to eat. that makes bears aggressive even towards humans who want normally on their menu. climate change is also confusing migrate. blackcaps no longer leave germany and head to spain for
5:47 am
the winter now a days they prefer spending the season in southern england. but birds and robins can even stay put depending on local weather conditions. long haul species like stalks and cranes still follow their genetic programming and sat out on annual migration. but the rapidly expanding deserts in africa combined with steadily dwindling sources of fruition making life tough for them. among fish research is showing the salmon are up to 8 percent smaller than a few years ago. climate change is the prime suspect areas while. salmon mature faster and warming oceans and return at a younger age to spawning grounds in the upper reaches of the rivers where they came from. they fertilize their eggs in exactly the same place they themselves were conceived but today they're 4 years old they used to do this at age
5:48 am
7. climate change is also threatening the green sea turtle with extinction. each season a female lays up to $600.00 likes in the summer her offspring hatch after 2 to 3 months. temperature is a major factor in this process at $28.00 degrees celsius only male turtles hatch at $32.00 degrees only females in northern areas of australia's great barrier reef nearly all the offspring are now female and can't reproduce for lack of males. the w.-w. abscess climate change threatens around half of all animal species in the world's prime natural habitats with extinction. if outlet is right why are they buying i. do you have a science question you'd like us to answer. send it in as a video text or voice mail. if we feature it on the show you'll get
5:49 am
a little surprise from us as a fact here come on just ask. you can get more science news on our website and on twitter. we did tend to consider it cooking a high risk activity at least not for adults. nor do we think about the dangers of using so. phones and laptops but have you ever actually read the care instructions for a charger and you're not alone into new. explosions at home more common than you think. lovely breakfast with coffee rolls some cold cuts and where's the egg.
5:50 am
maybe we can cook it fast in the microwave let's say. well that wasn't a good idea what happened microwave radiation heats water molecules in the egg they expand and once they reach a certain temperature they have operate. blowing up the egg in the process. a right royal mess but this kind of blast is homeless compared to other household dangerous. like the cooking oil found in most patients potentially incendiary deodorant and has spray canisters and rechargeable lithium ion batteries in mobile phones so in cigarettes what's so dangerous about these things. well the firefighters from cassells fire
5:51 am
brigades i had to explain. to my schmidt. tomas miller and yes home by. being called out to more and more household incidents today we'll show you some things that can go wrong to hold . that calls for some heavy equipment because things are about to go off with a bang. but it's safety 1st for these experiments. yes that's propelling gas in here and we're going to heat it up all the gospel expound on the camel burst. that's why this deodorant needs to be to make a change to protect us from shrapnel. from at least 4 metres away a flame is applied to the can. the increased gas pressure inside bursts the can. oh. this is something that
5:52 am
can happen to any canister containing propellant gas. as a warning on every car do not he's above 50 degrees celsius well in summer if you leave it lying around in the car it can easily reach 60 to 70 degrees that's enough for an explosion. if you. can it's just a camping stove so filled entirely with pressurized flammable gas far too powerful and dangerous for us to experiment with. gas explosions in buildings it depends on the amount of gas around when it ignites as to how bad the damage is on the doors and windows blown out 1st and of gas concentrations or volumes are high than even the outer walls can go for the whole structure on the. really challenge of all lithium ion batteries are another potential disaster found in things like drones mobile phones and a bikes that charging capacity also harbors a capacity for hom since they're highly flammable. the positive and negative poles
5:53 am
of lithium ion accumulate as are only separated by a thin plastic membrane if it gets damaged because. we're going to do that to a large rechargeable battery and cause a short circuit. the immediate result is the jet of toxic smoke followed by ignition a short while later. but short circuits can also be spotted by relatively minor damage such as a knock incorrect charging it takes several minutes before the fire subsides. and it's off to do with polymer battery and specially with them physically and so many cars now everybody because one so we have far as relatively often because they were damaged or left on a tender while charging. the. water. now the
5:54 am
really volcanic action beginning with an every day kitchen scene with a pan full of regular cooking oil. i'll find a fight to speed things up by heating it with a gas burner any normal stove hot plate does the job just as well. because. this is basically the moment of 232240 degree temperature range starts to smoke a smoke detector would sound the alarm if you respond quickly enough so it's the cooker off and get the power off to one side and the danger is over nothing will happen. but what happens if the oil keeps heating up between 250 and 300 degrees it's hot enough to burst into flames and if you think pushing on the lid does the job think again it needs time to cool as well or it all goes up in flames again.
5:55 am
so what should you do. you can see the far right next to it is the kitchen sink so it's natural to think of using water that's the worst thing you can possibly do with burning fossil. so why we guess it impressive answer from a safe distance. anyone next to the stove could be severely burned during this experiment. it's easy to explain if water is denser than oil and sinks straight to the bottom of the pan. it's so hot that the water immediately evaporate. one liter of water is transformed instantly into 1700 liters of steam blasting the burning oil straight out of the pan as it expands what ever you do don't try this
5:56 am
the board right that's enough. and that's all from us tonight we'll have more fascinating stories from the world of science next time. until then it's but i can't take. the i do little.
