this is the the view news live from berlin growing international calls to waste patents on covert 900 vaccines the u.s. backs the idea but germany rejects the proposal and sides with the drug developers also on the program india can seem to catch a break more than 400000 new coronavirus cases for the 2nd straight day aid is getting through but experts fear the crisis will get worse before it gets better. with less than 5 months to the federal elections germany's environmentalist greens

are enjoying a popularity bounce polling ahead of conservatives plus an extra terrestrial treat for wine lovers a bottle aged on the international space station is up for auction with an astronomical price tag. as welcome to the program germany is skeptical about calls to lift intellectual property protections folk are on a virus vaccines the push by the world trade organization to temporarily suspend patents is gathering pace the u.s. backs the idea and the european union say it's open to discussion but the german government is so far siding with drug makers arguing that protections are essential to maintain innovation. in the global race for coronavirus macs. scenes by on tax

pfizer was 1st out of the gate a proud she had meant for by on tech the german company that went from start up to pharma superstar now in the debate over waiving patents on covert 1000 vaccines the german government is siding with drug makers saying the protection of intellectual property is a source of innovation and must remain so in the future the limiting factor in the production of vaccines our production capacities and the high quality standards not the patents. germany says industry and government should work on transferring technology to new manufacturers if they want to scale up vaccine production quickly and in a jab at the biden administration german health minister again spawn had this to say the least if the real problem isn't patents but production capacity and availability then i'd be delighted if the united states is now willing to allow the export of doses manufactured there just like the european union. was indeed an

export fights with. the us is just one of the wealthy nations accused of vaccine hoarding extending their immunization programs far beyond their vulnerable populations while poorer nations go without the pharma industry says that problem should be fixed 1st. world we need to do is tackled the real problems such as caller id to rage comes face to share those is within the next few days or weeks not in 4 or 5 months of to be vaccinated everybody in our countries we need to look at the trade barriers we are all hindering the ramping up of supplies and we need to improve the efficiency because they are scarcity and bottlenecks and supply chains the bats and wouldn't give you a single there is more. that it's pictures like these from crisis hit india which have brought the problem of vaccine shortfalls into sharp focus prompting more than

$100.00 countries including now the us to support patent waivers as a way to boost global supply for many global health advocates it's the right way forward. companies have earned a tremendous amount in this this year alone on covert back to $7000000000.00 us dollars for pfizer that seems like more than a sufficient amount to be investing in innovation in the future moreover patent protection didn't deliver the fact that we have now significant government intervention and government investment from across the world has done that for us in india meanwhile the pace of vaccinations has fallen sharply for these people help from the global community can't come soon enough. but all the debate on the intellectual property rights applying to covert 19 vaccine is dominating a summit of e.u. leaders in the portuguese city of port so it's the 1st in person meeting since

december their words you to look at deepening social inequalities or washington's backing for a vaccine fattens waiver has moved that issue clearly the agenda and we can all talk to the portuguese foreign minister santos silva portugal currently holds the european council presidency and is hosting some of this is not a silver is a wave of patents the way forward out of this crisis. well we have to have this debate and i think european leaders will take your opportunity of their dining room. working 9 or there are 2 to work on it to 2 debates but 1st so let me say that the main difficulty right now is the lack of capacity of production so we have 1st to enlarge our capacity of

production of vaccines and then we have to export you know put is currently and biggest exporter of vaccines in the world and it will be a very important i thought the school joined the europe in this effort and of course we can also deal with issues of technology transfer so i'm saying the. possibility of waiving. intellectual property protection temporarily is a measure of last resort is that it is being discussed we did in world trade organization and of course you know who will also address this issue but before that we can do better in enlarging our capacity of of auction and tame exporting to 3rd countries so. should the european union push the u.s. to export more. well we are trying to influence all

partners and allies to join europe in this effort of donating vaccines europe is currently the 1st on a tour in the world but also in exporting vaccines you see we have a by now i think 500000000 vaccines produce it in europe. 300000000 were for internal market for europe itself but 200000000 of european vaccines vaccines produce it in europe were exported abroad were exported to 3rd countries it's very important to gauge men and from the perspective of europe you say your say is already doing enough of the united states no i'm not saying that and i will say that this move of the american administration is very important and of course it will launch it will

influence the debate including among the european leaders and that's why we organize meetings that's why we prefer present show meetings in order that i would leave those can discuss openly frankly all the issues because you know this is the european method many times we we start with different positions sometimes with opposite views and then we work together we speak together and we become closer and then we reach a consensus so but germany is so far is the only country as far as our know who has clearly stated as it is opposed to waver is this view shared by many of our colleagues. let's see this evening but i do

in the stand germany's point of germany's saying that we need to protect an ovation and of course we all know that intellectual property rights have this rationale to to protect discovery to protect innovation but we have also to keep in mind though that in this particular case there was a lot of public funding. so this is also an issue of having. public. that was. and i would say that was discovered that we have a lot of public investment and public funding so we have to try to see all the overall picture and all the picture we have to to have a comprehensive approach and we need these the bait and of course this is to have this debate well talk about a debate some countries are currently beginning to open up their tourism sectors

greece for example it's pushing to do that pretty soon i'm sure portugal is keen to do that as well does europe need a unified strategy to open their borders for tourism or can. people who are single members can do should be able to do what they want. well this is a matter of national sovereignty but we need coordination so while not to expect to have a new year any fights positioned it does not feel to be decided by the council or by the commission it is to be decided by each member states but we are trying to to have a coordinated approach currently the portuguese presidency is chairing the negotiations between the council and the bottle of parliament in order to review all through to have this green visual certificate and also we are reviewing our recommendation concerning voyages in the

case of portugal we are the confining as you perhaps know we are right now in states for the confinement things are going very well by by now and of course we are expecting that at least from other countries with similar pandemic situations we can also have a circulation of people mobility of people including tourists to know that portugal is a very important destination for the european tourists in also for americans and of course we we count to have a certain recovery of volatility is not a full recovery let's be frank and let's be realistic but a certain recovery of the tourism is expected for this summer and i think by now the situation is progressing in that direction portugal's foreign minister

so many things. thank you thank you all the best. as i look at some of the other developments in the global pandemic germany's health minister says new covered 900 cases are falling but he warns of weeks or months of more restrictions u.k. officials have said people under 40 should be offered the an alternative to the astra zeneca job due to a small risk of blood clots and new york city wants to offer vaccines to tourists jobs would be given out at times square and other attractions. meanwhile india is still registering record daily covert 19 deaths and infections officials report more than 400000 new cases in the last day almost 4000 people have died international aid is now flowing in to support overwhelmed hospitals india has been hit hard by a new variant mass gatherings and recent religious and political rallies have also

been blamed for spreading the virus let's now bring in our views delhi bureau chief a meter reader what's the situation on the ground today. the numbers speak for themselves and now that recognize a new infections in india the virus is still very much on the run ph as you can see with the was going to improvement in jelly the numbers of friends with the boss 24 hours and also a long bike has seen some improvement now these are the 2 cities which were hundreds hit having said that the virus is surging the infections are surging in many other parts of india in east india in southern india and the studio bangalore known as bang a little now there's been a huge spike in cases they're the ones most wanting really get out is what's happening in dural india reports have started coming in in some areas like the state in the north where you see the numbers i'm going up hugely and in one village

this is in every 2nd house someone who died of karuna. very very grim picture there the international aid that is actually beginning to come in now is that a pup of all difference that one can feel on the ground. well it is that the bill and the difference is there if you have access to that now germany has sent a huge oxygen generating plant which will be deployed in the coming days if sentience will in their medical stop the in december german military and is capable in its operation of generating 400000 liters of oxygen a d. now it's going to be deployed in a military facility in delhi which has opened up to civilian patients because civilian hospitals just saw will bend and then the patients when they have access to this kind of facility and this amount of oxygen it will certainly make a huge difference to them. speaking of oxygen all week we've heard that this supply

and supply chains really are the part of the problem with with your suits and is it getting through. well you didn't like genes i guess is just one part of the dog and people are talking of systemic failures but they're also talking about having an alternate oxygen supply because oxygen is distributed by the central government of the different states and states like did anything this simply not getting enough this is a need 700 metric tons they're getting about half of that so obviously supply chains are a problem but only part of it and the other issue is. that the amount of oxygen demand is going up by 7 fuller's in the last few weeks so even when it was in oxygen people are struggling you have 10 reports coming out say from hospitals in chennai great 7 people died in a hospital bed oxygen drown out your cities like bangalore where you're sending out s.o.s. messages saying they don't have enough oxygen now the prime minister has

a high powered meeting and he is called to deal with an address it's all is issues that they're facing the oxygen supplies. didn't use deliberately for me to see my reporting there thank you i'm going to. india's neighbor naipaul is also struggling to contain an explosion and the tases back scenes are short supply and nearly half of those tested tested positive it's feared the situation may be as bad if not worse than in india travel is now suspended in an attempt to hold the virus. getting out while they still can. these passengers are on the last flights out of kathmandu as new poll suspends international air travel. over you because you just i'm glad that i'm able to leave nepal where the covert 19 situation is getting really bad. like neighboring india nepal is reeling from

a deadly 2nd wave of the coronavirus the porous border between the 2 countries has contributed to skyrocketing case number was. nepal's main towns and cities are in lockdown the health ministry says the situation is unmanageable doctors and nurses are being pushed to their limits. to date we have not turned anyone away without providing them with oxygen. but the situation is getting complicated. for or for the good of you under our colleagues are working very hard they are on duty for 24 hours we have even been giving oxygen to patients in chairs. nepal has called for international help as case numbers hit record highs the country's neglected health care system is facing collapse. with the lockdown in place many migrant workers have returned from the cities to their homes in rural

areas while katmandu is hospital struggle to save lives fear is growing of outbreaks in the remote regions lacking health care infrastructure. time now to look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today in the u.s. state of idaho a 12 year old girl shot and wounded 2 students and a staff member at her school the shooter was dissolved by a teacher authorities in the town of rigby are investigating how the girl got the gun. 25 people have been killed during a police operation against alleged drug traffickers in brazil rights groups are calling the death toll from the raids in rio de janeiro slum reprehensible demanding an independent investigation. 15 palestinians were arrested after another night of clashes with police in east jerusalem the unrest broke out over and eviction threats against palestinian families the un has urged israel to call off the of actions authorities in egypt are worried that the ramadan fasting month

they seem to get even they're not afraid god would keep us safe he will decide. we're not getting vaccinated but we're careful so far so good. only around one in a 100 gyptian have been vaccinated so far many are reluctant because they don't trust the vaccines even though there are plenty available. the biggest issue i think when it comes to the rollout of the vaccine isn't actually supply i think that there is quite a large supply at least for the beginning stages i think the biggest problem is demand infections are rising sharply one doctor says the situation is much worse than officially admitted. he doesn't want to be identified for fear of reprisals but says egypt needs a strict lockdown he's worried it could become the next india. it's got

a lot worse since the start of ramadan i've seen it myself i'm even the expensive private hospitals are full imagine what it's like at state hospitals. but the health minister says everything is under control she blames medical staff for setting a poor example. only around half of egypt's doctors have signed up to be vaccinated . well what the sunset signals the end of the daily fast restaurant manager hans some is hoping the pandemic will soon be over but he's not sure whether he wants to be vaccinated himself. germany heads into an election later this year with the leadership race wide open for the 1st time in nearly 2 years environmentalist green party is now leading in the polls. for put them 4 points ahead of

conservatives. to run for chancellor in september so for proving to be a popular candidate right after the nomination of a no they love their book as chancellor candidate for the greens polls showed her party in the lead ahead of chancellor angela merkel's conservatives a temporary bump many thought a brief surge on the back of her designation and a difficult few weeks for the ruling conservative bloc but almost 3 weeks later the bear book effect appears to be sticking. the greens are now pulling ahead of the c.d.u. c.s.u. with a 4 percent increase compared to a month ago the conservatives have dropped 4 points and their partner in the current government the social democrats have also lost some support it's not only the green party and the innovative occurs self is riding high 28 percent of germans

would vote for her if the chancellor could be elected directly a few percentage points above her opponents in lash out for the conservatives and all of shows for the social democrats. the rise of the green party goes hand in hand with the drop in the government's approval ratings. a majority of germans now say they are dissatisfied with the work of the government after record approval in 2020 skepticism has grown about the government's crisis management during the 2nd and 3rd waves of the coronavirus pandemic and it shows the election is still more than 4 months away and anything could happen in the race but these numbers show that the greens pose a serious challenge to america's conservatives. here are some more stories making headlines beijing has dismissed warnings from u.s. military experts that a chinese space rocket called crash into people or buildings the craft is expected

the way. there are certain habits i simply can't kick and before i know it my time's up. oft but it's frustrating when i don't get things done or end up feeling stressed i'm going to ask you know simona how i can learn to avoid that situation right away . so far. as a monet she works as a systemic coach. she helps people find their strengths and achieve their goals even when they don't go as planned. because of one is bonuses why is it so difficult to change our habits. as a smoker if god if so i am really isn't easy because our habits our habits after. they're very entrenched they're part of our lives and they're part of our comfort

zone. so if i want to make a change toward a healthier diet and healthier ways of eating. that might mean changing an entire area of my life so titus and company. can also help to think what other goals you might achieve by saying healthier eating habits those other goals might be losing weight improving fitness and living longer those schools vary from person to person but the more goals i have that can be achieved by reaching my goal of a better diet the better overall being. and patience is also crucial especially when it comes to set backs sometimes you take 2 steps forward and one step back and that's just how it works. do you have a profitable tips and tricks to help yourself reach your goals. yes

there's a really wonderful method that anyone can use it's called the loop method or just answer and then safe do you commit tortilla. soup stands for wish out obstacle plan it's a goal setting strategy developed by psychologists for people to use in various aspects of life at work for example in their eating habits and did making other lifestyle changes. my goal for example would be to reduce my sugar intake but i really like sweets with my afternoon tea so what should i do. ok is there does it that's ok so 1st i'd ask you to formulate your wish i was what you want to do here is create a kind of vision. efficient based on your own imagination and feelings.

and visualize what it would mean for you to have a healthier diet because in that i mean. right so i'd like to eat healthier and especially last sugar the most positive thing i can imagine connected to that is that i'd feel more awake in the afternoon. back to you i feel really focused and overall i just feel better and my mind feels more clear. cop thriller and yet so now we're going to move on to the other side of things what exactly are the obstacles holding you back. i mean the one in our obstacle is that i use sweets to reward myself to get through the rest of the day. gets right and now we get to the core of the method which is coming up with a plan and then plan then. as

a very is regarded up so if i feel the need for my sugary treat then all grab a small handful of cashews i like them a lot to. me leaving them in real life and i tell you to keep adding another 3rd and 4th idea until you run out of ideas so eventually your plan will be so fleshed out that your brain really can't do anything but follow it by creating that if they're planning you'll be well on the way to redirecting those all habits or. supplying. variance and if that doesn't work right away what should you do that. that's a very important question when in fact it happens to all of us i think it's really important to show yourself a bit of kindness in that situation but you also have to be firm. to show yourself

some appreciation and respect so we all make mistakes fall down pick ourselves back up brush ourselves off and try again i'll stay in course. i neuer. thank you for this conversation and many practical tips so my pleasure in this and if this book. that appeals to you there is also a free app available in a number of languages i think i'm going to try it out right away. have you ever had that feeling that sense of focus and joy when you're fully immersed in something like exercise making music playing a game psychologists call it flow can it be the. mom playing an instrument. or engrossed in a book. or running as a fan in her you can enter a zone known as

a state of flow. of. absorption in what you're doing and the feeling of. i mean for born that everything is just flowing. it's being in the here and now when this time you know into your cardio. under my detention no sense of time effortlessness that pretty much characterizes the state of flow that can you actually make it happen. these 3 are going to try they're scaling the peak so that they can sit down again on their mountain bikes. will they enter into a state of flow. sports psychologist all of a study's flow. and experiment with sports students 1st measured their heart rate and determine their optimal exertion level. then he had them

run on a treadmill. flow and stoudemire done flow emerges when the challenge a person faces matches his or her abilities if it's easy enough to be mastered. past the nice guy. that means the mountain bikers won't feel the flow if the route is too difficult same 2 i see are narrow. if so many of the so after a 2 hour fine the 3 are about to head back down how do they think it will go. past then a few spots look a bit tricky we'll have a snack and then we'll start in what. they're about to find out if the challenge matches their abilities and skills it's been a bit tough. to get out of the head. well i've got 5 if there was. a 4th guy. there's another rough stretch

ahead. why is being in the zone so pleasurable what goes on in the brain those are questions all of us don't want answered. and there's a new theory that says the experience of flow arises when activity in the prefrontal cortex is reduced. cortex. that is the front part of the brain associated with problem solving logical thought and the emotional evaluation of situations. according to the new theory there is a correlation between reduced activity in that region and the. people with depression tend to brood on how bad things are for them the world at large. that very much involves the prefrontal cortex. if they can stop thinking about all of it if they go for

a run say that region of the brain becomes less active and they find that very very pleasant. and good name. children are often fully grossed in play no brooding no self-consciousness with playing sports and making music the chances of entering the zone are high. with music you 1st have to feel you have the skill to play our instrument and then it takes a lot of practice. linda has just started to learn the accordion. we must show off if you manage to get the children into a state of flow it's just great. this is not the little musicians feel happy and they make the mental connection. you know this this is what i'm doing it for this is why i practice. this or and it was fine with it in principle almost any activity has flow potential if one key condition is fulfilled.

you have to enjoy what you're doing if you want to enter the zone or it won't happen if you don't like it then you'll start thinking why on earth am i doing this which doesn't only. back to the mountain bikers they've completed their descent well did it flow. up to the 2nd half was pure flow it was perfect just rolling and no stopping it was great . can we actually make flow happen the answer seems to be do what you enjoy and master the relevant skills down with a bit of luck things might just begin to flow. how many hours a day to spend sitting at the top too much sitting is unhealthy but there are ways of staying active even when you spend your days at your desk.

getting more exercise is something the sports scientists want to encourage 100 years for people to use their weight to and from work as a training course they've installed a series of signs around their university campus with exercises that anyone can do in a matter of minutes. to vickey. this route has 8 such fitness stations you can do the 4 kilometer route during lunch break or after work whether running jogging walking or just walking but. the hope is that this workout program will inspire students and staff to sit less and move more a lot of people spend far too long sitting down often without a break. but typical day of an office worker get up and sit down at the breakfast

table get to work she did in a car bus or train to get to work and sit down at a desk at lunch time shift to another chair. practically all activities are performed while seated then it's time to head home once again on a seat then come supper. seated at a table and to round off the day and evening in the armchair. office workers might spend up to 15 hours a day this way studies show that a sedentary lifestyle can make us sick it's been linked to backache cardiovascular disease and try to diabetes the sports scientists would like people to change their ways. if i sit at my desk for 7 hours and then go to the gym that doesn't make up for my lack of physical activity it's certainly good to follow

recommendations and do some exercise but if i continue to have a sedentary lifestyle at work or at school then there's still a risk factor for an entire range of illnesses to come from. staying active at work helps reduce that risk. is treadmill comes with a desk attached. to it glide smoothly. and have said noise absorbent coding. that users own pace determines the speed. the height of the desk can be adjusted and there's a back when you're standing still. once you've gotten used to it you can read write or make phone calls while standing or

walking. then there are desks you can stand out with out a treadmill 'd a cushion helps keep the body active. if you'd like to take a seat. stool it keeps the muscles working variety is another key factor. staying on your feet all day isn't the solution either it's not a case of sitting is the new smoking so standing is the cure now they key is keep moving and keep changing your positions. can take active breaks between classes stretching or more energetic moves. online videos demonstrate exercises that anyone can follow even where space is the limit. most people who try it stick with it and try to integrate it into this.
