facebook that they can't just invent new underwritten rules when it suits them so who is this this oversight board with where they come from what they do but it's a board that was. sort of like. brought to life a year ago by facebook it's funded by facebook it's 20 technology experts from around the world it includes former politicians it includes journalists a lot of lawyers academics and it's funded by facebook but the idea for it is to be independent and to assess you know very prominent cases of content moderation right so the board sends a decision back to facebook says yes you can do it with a new rules but you have to put a time limit on it facebook then comes back and says i will put this time limit on is that then the end of it all does donald trump get to say no i still object well i don't think donald trump really has a say in that the question is going to be what is facebook going to decide in 6
7:04 pm
months from now because that is sort of the recommendation that the board gave to facebook the decision to uphold the ban is binding but. the recommendation to look into this again and reassess that in 6 months is nonbinding so we will have to see what facebook is going to do but facebook will have to make a decision but then the next 6 months what to do about donald trump's account i don't understand. what's known by it and you said the facebook of the bow to send this back to facebook and said i made a nonbinding ruling that you have to get back to those in 6 months so if a school doesn't get back to them in 6 months of the non-binding ruling then who has what to say about what that is a very good question you know there's nobody to enforce this and so what it doesn't have to get back in 6 months no it doesn't have to go back but then this whole sort of like idea of an facebook oversight board which is supposed to be something like a supreme court of facebook if you will you know would be sort of like well it's going to be put to a. no that's for sure there is
7:05 pm
a think there are thousands hundreds plenty of social media sites out there so why is this decision by facebook or their board significant well it is significant because a facebook is still the largest social media platform in the world plus facebook owns instagram so in donald trump's case we're talking about almost $60000000.00 followers that he can communicate directly with and who knows you know donald trump might you know decide to run again for office at some point and it's going to be a very decisive question whether he will have those channels to communicate with his followers ok good talk with you thank you for that chief technology correspondent youngish delco. well donald trump has now responded to the board's decision to uphold his spanish and he said issued a statement describing social media bans as an absolute disgrace and an embarrassment to the country. now to india where kobe deaths have surged to another record daily high nearly 3800 as the burden on the country's health care sector

7:13 pm
wednesday. which i feel. there is a lot of talk about russia and china's vaccination diplomacy. that's why it's important to note that 3 quarters of all covered stories is financed by the g 7. 2000000000 vaccine doses 2 countries need to get out of. its we want to continue this initiative. and deliver even more doses to counter the vaccine diplomacy of some countries that's. my chief and i need it's a tool and borders and to make clear that we are aware of our responsibilities to the rest of the world. so we drill a dominating this summit phil and i think this will also see this as a dry run because in about a month's time there is another big g.

to. whatever he's going. to be on fire. it's already a reality for seasonal flu the couple of sprays and you get. strong protection against a potentially deadly virus could it work the corona virus would put the vaccine right where the virus reproduces in the responder tree system and nasal spray vaccine against coverage 19 could be the answer for country struggling to contain. robots in berlin welcome to data we use covered 19 special now one country that
7:17 pm
spending hopes on nasal spray vaccines is mexico the country with the world's 3rd highest covered 19 death toll trying to speed up its immunization program only one in 10 mexicans has had at least one dose of vaccine and the government there is appealing for more shots from abroad is president address manuel lopez obrador he received the astra zeneca shot last month. but mexico is also hoping to start producing its own vaccines and administer them. in mexico one of the country's worst affected by the coronavirus pandemic and dependent on imported vaccines in short supply globally. to help reduce the country's future dependency mexico is developing its own vaccine named patri or spanish for homeland the company spearheading the drive has already eyeing clinical trials. the mexican government hopes the vaccine can be approved for emergency use
7:18 pm
by the end of the year authorities say it has several advantages. if. this is a vaccine that can be administered as a nasal spray. and we've been laying the groundwork for mass production that will help keep costs low. and this in turn will make the vaccine more accessible to people in countries such as ours which are not as wealthy. people. that's thanks in large part to drawing on u.s. technology already used in other vaccines which the mexican developer says as proven safe and effective the mexican government has contributed to the funding. but if it were not i think it's good i don't know when it will come out the problem here has been the lack of support for research so it will take
7:19 pm
a long time i'm going to. mexico is a country that should be a leader in the americas. and should help supply other countries in central america . mexico's president has condemned vaccine hoarding by rich countries in the past he says his nation will share its vaccine with others. well dr peter lazy is the chairman of the department of microbiology at icann school of medicine at mount sinai in new york he and his team developed the key ingredient for the nasal spray vaccine that mexico is developing and has the snuffy name n d v h x p s sort of a lazy explain to me what that means. let me 1st explain the name n.p.v. stands for pixel disease virus newcastle disease was which is actually an avian virus and we're using
7:20 pm
a vaccine strain for we're. also off cheap which is director to protect against newcastle disease but as we are using this one and we are introducing in this newcastle disease last and be the best known thing the surface pro thing off sauce co of r.'s 2 and so on and we give that vaccine to people up to an almost then we could use the s. protein because sheffer skakel to know if you. saw scan of our stool and then we may give you any one of the sponsors against this surface gecko problem thing which is ok steve so. speedy stands for x. up rolling 6 pollens in the is a sprawling thing which stabilized hoping make it explains much more. and it makes it to be stable rich is really important because the other vaccines
7:21 pm
which are what you spend what they're on and 5 i don't think they can only be stored in minus 40 degree minus 80 degrees celsius our next scene which is the n.t.v. pro spec scene is actually very very stable and real and can be transported in store. home safely generate the temperatures 2 to 4 degrees centigrade so it is much much cheaper to produce this vaccine is compere through the m.r.i. in a vaccines by pfizer. and it is very very cheaply made because it can be don in this same way that in france of us rick seems. used all over the world weekends just in ocular a grenade exits a way of. cradling influence of her sex scenes are made we just enjoy and use our
7:22 pm
anti v h x p strain into x. and we can make millions and millions of doses it very very low cost i think the fact that it's produced in eggs will really surprise people because it does make a very different tone to what we've been hearing about the research so far but as i mentioned before about the fact that this can actually be. administered through a nasal spray i mean what's the advantage of that. so far the only talking about the u.s. really so far in the united states the poor have vaccines against school with 19 but they are all injected they are all inject it so they are not going to using a would require new colin unit even you men be administered through the nose we knew was in the upper management or intellect in that respect to inflict the immunity which is the main thing of the who is 19 virus to replicate so.
7:23 pm
you can use both platforms of the you made one which gets injected and also the one which is soused is a spray through the nose and we believe the real make a very good action in the as for do it directly against group 19 it works beautifully in animals we have fantastic content length studies in amsterdam and in my eyes but oversee my son of man hamsters are not humans so we have to really find out how these different platforms live through the nose or kill inject how that works out in people. yes not that could take some time and when are we looking at you know vaccine actually being administered to people's noses so i was always told if a gel used to ask me how long it will take is. not to answer that question however
7:24 pm
we are a 5 pound 3 it's now out of. reach you see and we are doing phase one slash 2 trials in the past you made for his wound and you made it frays 2 and we waited face 3 but because of the illusions you of course 19 many of us are doing freeze one slash 2 in powell and in those 5 companies as i said hundreds of people have been. needed in a phase one slash rates 2 and we hope we get the 1st data by june july of this year and then it really depends how much for these being through the interview rituals told that in that in brazil is about a 1000000 doses have been in been we've used some of it we believe that there phase 2 in phase 3 could be done fairly rapidly but they gained. and how fast
7:25 pm
these studies can be done these human trials can be executed and the plans on to complete it simply will take some more time in the us because we wholly of them or with our f.d.a. . thank you very much dr peter for lazy joining us on the call in 1000 special. time to answer more of your questions now i have it to a science correspondent derek williams. the astra zeneca vaccine is around 70 percent effective is that really enough for it to be any good. i've received several different versions of this questions so the issue is obviously one that's causing some confusion i think what's driving it is a similarity between 2 very different factors that are expressed as a similar percentage 70 percent the 1st of those factors is an epidemiological
7:26 pm
prediction that comes up a lot it's what's now considered to be kind of low ball estimate of the number of people needed to achieve what we call her community that very theoretical moment when enough people are immune to covert 19 through vaccination or having had the disease to allow us to get on top of transmission that 70 percent however is different from the 2nd factor the roughly 70 percent effectiveness claimed by the astra zeneca vaccine that 70 percent basically tells you that if a large number of people receive the vaccine and an equally large number don't and then you wait a few months to see who comes down with symptomatic who had 19 more than 2 thirds of them will be from the unvaccinated group gaging effectiveness is as as you can
7:27 pm
see quite tricky because you're basically trying to put a number on how many vaccinated people didn't get infected but the astra zeneca vaccines 70 plus percent effectiveness is actually quite high compared to many other vaccines and will help us a lot and our attempts to reach that other 70 plus per. goal when when herd immunity dynamics should begin kicking in. eric williams just before we leave you to take your lympics are less than 3 months away and given the pandemic how guys are planning o.b. a very unusual games and actually just held a marathon russell in the northern city of sapporo unusually people were told to stay away from the streets whether madison was passing by by people calling signs but there were a few scattered because he managed to make their way along the route and face masks
7:28 pm
take your hopes the games could mark a turning point in a pandemic but the city is still under a state of emergency. and that's all from me in that same for more you check out the current of our section as deja vu dot com to buy. drinks it's. the usual of. weeks extruded into health foods and glittering glitter glitter. they're fighting against prejudice and often called a boy i think nothing of just getting up and for recognition. a little stores on the big stage.

7:30 pm
they had hoped for more security more freedom more dignity have their hopes been fulfilled. where does the arab world stand today 10 years after the arab spring. the rebellion starts june 7th on d w. you're watching news asia coming up today gasping for air india's hospitals are running out of oxygen for kobe patients a crisis is getting worse will the government be able to do something about it. and what it means to be stateless in pakistan that these girls can't take their talents to their limits we take a closer look.
