discover who. subscribe to documentary to. alaska is sparsely populated and known for its harsh terrain with some places only accessible by plane boat or snowmobile yet it's being hailed as a vaccine success story. every 3rd alaskan is fully vaccinated nearly half of the population has received one shot. good planning and working with indigenous leaders . alaska became the 1st u.s. state to offer covert 900 vaccines to all adults in march tourists will be able to

receive shots at the airports from june. kids from the age of 12 canal get their shots in alaska and right across the u.s. but it's alaska in particular one of the remotest places on earth which is showing the rest of the world how to fight off a pandemic. final preparations for a flight near the arctic circle in alaska kimberly and on as with her 50 shots of the modena vaccine she hopes they'll bring an end to the pandemic which is hit. hard. one person gets it here that's you know that's 5 percent of the population almost so that one household pretty much can cause for the whole village to shut down that means nobody hauling water nobody hauling fuel nobody you know you're not leaving your house to go get stuff that you've made ok it's going to spank you know it doesn't bite its remoteness

a lot has rolled out called in 1000 vaccines faster than any other state in the us today the team of health care professionals will be visiting several indigenous communities in the arctic wilderness. the village of in a tie has no mobile phone coverage no supermarket and no permanent doctor all goods have to be flown in. today's air freight is the call of in 1000 vaccine the village of around 200 inhabitants has only 2 cars one of them is the ambulance. snowmobiles are the most important means of transport here a quick ride takes the team to the local health care center. inside around 20 villagers awaiting for the shot. and you. know like most of the villagers lawrence roberts belongs to the question tribe for many

years has relied on his strong constitution but in times of a pandemic he wants to play it safe. this is pretty important i mean. you know the. you would have to get sick or you know if it will prevent possible zation that's good. on his squad lawrence takes us to his home at the edge of a forest. for a year he wasn't allowed to leave the village. the tribal government imposed strict rules to protect the community from the virus. lauren says it's the modern way of life that makes people so vulnerable to cope in 1000 like we don't have an offsite contact all we're doing is just basically traveling with the hope that they're there and grandpa we should move or something that's where we settle

down for a month. you know and try to make this that's what it is. it was much healthier lifestyle you know for that that i knew that i experience you ever get 2nd when you're on a work you know it's it will. take to the next village it may be one of the world's remotest places but when it comes to the vaccine program alaska is leading the way . they have it is executive director of the association of immunization managers and joins us from the u.s. what's behind alaska's success considering the huge geographical hindrances it's had to overcome. well alaska has a lot of experience getting vaccines out to their remote areas one thing they have done with coded 19 vaccine is they have really drawn their communities together and you know informed and educated about the vaccine they have gotten the vaccine out

to their remote villages they've actually gone toward a door in some of these villages getting people vaccinated and they've just done a really coordinated job of getting the vaccine to everyone that wants to get it how did the u.s. manage to go from $3000000.00 vaccinations administered in the whole month of december 2020 to over $3000000.00 per day just back in april. right well i mean a couple of important things one is that the production and the supply and you know this is not the sort seduction the supply and production were kind of up and down in december we didn't have a real steady out of you know doxie doses coming off the the manufacturing plant we have that now supply increased and really we're getting 2030000000 doses of the vaccine out per week to the states so that's made a huge difference and in addition to that the states have done

a large scale vaccination sites as well as getting it to smaller sites community health centers and retail pharmacies so really getting more supply more steady supply and getting the vaccine out some more availability sites that's been the key at the same time though since the middle of april a number of very early back to nations as being going down through more or less $3000000.00 per day why is that. so we have kind of picked up point where a lot of people who wanted to be vaccinated have then vaccinated you know 50 percent of people have gotten at least one dose just about and so you know we're really getting to the point now where we need to work harder to get people to assure people to get information to people we're still there actually eating about 2000000 people per day so that's really good we have about 10 states that have vaccinated over 50 percent of their population but about 10 states are only about 35 percent

of been vaccinated and that's really the difference by region of you know people with regard to their skepticism or you know they're cautious about getting the vaccine so what if they get it as a vehicle as possible what working hard i mean because you mentioned in alaska going door to door which of course is risky in itself i thought about other states giving out free cannabis free beer. there they were giving out free beer in new jersey you know alaska's sleeves up 1st some are having block parties for vaccination getting ready for tourist season giving vaccine at the airport. you know i think states are just doing anything they can we see businesses giving incentives mostly to their employees krispy kreme is giving free donuts to people who get vaccinated you know really just trying to get everyone involved

everyone to feel good about getting the vaccine about getting us back to a place where you know we can have fun and be safe and protected from the disease what would you say this is something the rest of the world could could learn from. i mean i do think the rest of the world can learn from from what we've learned here in the united states 1st of all the large vaccine sites getting the vaccine out as as quickly as possible was really successful for us and the more people were seeing other people getting vaccinated the more they felt safe getting vaccinated themselves and also information information is really the key the population right now that says their has a tent or doesn't want to get vaccinated we see that many of them have not received any vax any information about the vaccine or have only seen negative information about baxi so getting information out you know getting all the information you can

about how the vaccine works its value it's safety its effectiveness doing that ahead of time makes a difference and then high volume logistically quite out of there from the association of immunization managers thank you so much thanks thanks very much for having me. let me put you in the capable hands of my colleagues eric williams now to look at your questions on the corona virus. i've been vaccinated and feel some side effects and i contagious to others. pretty much all of the vaccines approved so far in various parts of the world are are fairly reacted generally which means they often cause mild side effects like pain and swelling at the injection site as well as things like like fatigue or headache or fever or chills or aching joints by by some estimates

about 2 thirds of all recipients report those sorts of effects soon after having a shot they generally disappear within a day or 2 side effects appear to be more common in women than in men and also seem to happen more often in younger recipients than in the elderly but but side effects aren't caused by live virus replicating in your body because the vaccines in use don't actually contain any live virus instead they employ a number of different tricks to pull your immune system into believing you've caught the virus many vaccine platforms work by delivering genetic instructions into your cells that cause them to build sars coby to proteins these harmless components teach your defenses to recognize the virus without real exposure to it

the available chinese vaccines accomplish the same goal by using chemically inactivated or or disabled virus to put the immune system on red alert but but because vaccines don't expose you to live virus they can't give you the disease her . you can't be contagious assuming of course that you didn't catch 1000 for real from someone in the days between vaccination and the ramp up of your immune response the sometimes unpleasant vaccine side effects experts say are actually a kind of confirmation that your immune system is reacting as it should. and we leave you with pictures from romania where dracula is taking a bite out of garbage 19 at his mythic home brand castle medics have set up

reggae legend bob marley still resonates with look back at his life and legacy. but 1st to a growing scandal in hollywood it's one of tinsel town's oldest and most watched award shows but u.s. t.v. network n.b.c. says it will not cost next year's golden globe ceremony the decision follows complaints about alleged ethical lapses and a lack of diversity in the hollywood foreign press association which hands out the film and t.v. prizes now someone who has been following the situation closely is all film and t.v. expert scott's rocks he joins me now from boston scores of this move by n.b.c. is just the latest nail in the coffin a lot of people have been distancing themselves from the golden globes and the hollywood foreign press association fill us in on that please. yes you're right this is just the latest in a long list of companies and stars who come out to protest the game gave them only

4 press association just shortly before n.b.c. is announcement the actor tom cruise came out and said he was going to give back the 3 golden globes he's won in protest and we've seen huge media companies netflix amazon al gore media saying they're going to boycott the golden globes right so quite a backlash there this all goes back to an exposé published in february that caused quite a stir. yes you're right it's the from the los angeles times they published a an exposé that exposed alleged alleged fraud and corruption and mismanagement at the globes they also revealed that none of the members of the hollywood foreign press association who vote on the golden globes are black then added to that more recently an e-mail was leaked from for president of the association in which he quoted a article which called black lives matter the black lives better group quote a racist hate group well that's all been too much for hollywood and so we've seen

a lot of big stars ugly scarlet johansson and mark ruffalo come out against the globes and now pretty much everyone in the hollywood film industry has come out against the hollywood foreign press association saying they have to undergo really fundamental reforms that has caught many of us quite naturally to see in the golden globes all voted on by thousands of professionals not the academy awards but that's not the case for a fee if you could. ease the hollywood foreign press association a basically a small group of american foreign journalists who report on the film industry there just 87 members of the golden globes there are there with their prize their money has grown to be the large 2nd largest unimportant award ceremony but the group itself is still very small and till now has lacked any form of oversight or able to have to answer for for their actions. ok scott wants power approaching for us from a bomb that thanks very much for helping us understand that. architect

daniel levy scanned has created dozens of famous buildings but his name will always be associated with places as a member and one of his most famous works is the jewish museum here in berlin he was kinda lost much of his family in the holocaust so the project had special meaning for him he went on to oversee the rebuilding of the world trade center on the occasion of his 75th birthday he has this report. architect daniel levy comes from a polish jewish family he's a musician a humanist and a philosopher especially when it comes to buildings. every building the symbolic not even the stupidest building you see tells your story a very short one it says i have nothing to tell you. rebbe scans architecture on the other hand has a lot to say. with their skewed and irregular geometry his buildings seem to

suggest that nothing is certain not even historical buildings. whether for museums or high rises his designs are trailblazing. but it was a while before his career took off brilliance jewish museum was the 1st of leaders can still signs to be implemented some 20 years ago. by sort of the new idea cutting it with a void with the abyss of history with with show all with with a holocaust and create something that is memorable. towards the past but also looking forward to a future brew with hope and with new light. it's a thoroughly symbolic construction marked by empty spaces meant to represent absence the millions of murdered european jews. a place of remembrance it's 1st and foremost a flexible space for the exhibition of 1700 years of german jewish history.

leave askins work in dresden is also about history in this case military history he's driven a huge wedge into the city's old military museum. here he's created new perspectives with a glass platform facing the city you see exactly where the 1st bomb fell in making 45 drugs that and their whole form is so similar to the triangle of bombs from which drugs and was completely erased from history all the buildings today in russia have been rebuilt luckily but i wanted to insert into the military history building the sense that we are also in a new city it's not the same drugs that it is just one that has been transformed through war. leave us candace from new york city traumatized by the terrorist attacks of september 11th 2001 he planned the construction at ground 0 a combination of the high rise freedom tower commercial buildings and a memorial and place of the destroyed world trade center. buildings shape our lives

they shape our health but more importantly they shaped our spiritual sense of identity and of belonging to a community and a solidarity with other people daniel leaders can't believe that architecture should touch the soul quest he continues to follow at the age of $75.00. now remember those days before that when you went to cafes while in the likelihood you sat on a monitor block that's the real name of those. instantly recognisable white chairs made from a single piece of plastic stackable white oval and at 3 years per piece cheap to produce there could be a 1000000000 of them in circulation now they're the stars of a film that premieres this month at munich's documentary film festival. somewhere sad and dreary alone mysterious thing stands against a wall

a plastic chair a seemingly ubiquitous one found everywhere despised and ridiculed a pathetic little actor on a big world stage. your business i've always seen this chair the way most of us to such a ridiculous object it's just lying around broken on a soccer field or at a party does it ever collapse under someone with. the documentary shows that this chair is also a symbol a worldview and impulse generator indeed it's the best selling piece of furniture in the world and it's called. that it story starts in a shed in france in the 1970 s. where the muscle knee created the prototype of the plastic chair its success meant he later lived as a happy multimillionaire in santa paid. hundreds of companies produce the chair for the model block has conquered the world by the billions and polarizes some people are dismissive of the cheap product then when they're on

a balcony or whatever eventually they just become unsightly if it's poorly designed or not very comfortable for to this day i don't understand why they even exist anymore. but in poor countries the chairs are celebrated like pop star this. is a work of art this chair actually characterizes the world we live in more than anything else whereas here in europe we're really skeptical it's ugly it's ecologically problematic in many other countries people have no alternative to it there's either this chair or there's no chair at all would have got a country where the film team traveled through 5 continents vividly demonstrating how this chair connects people across the globe. in a small hut in uganda and that sits and weaves a basket she's paralyzed and gets around mostly by crawling. over in california engineer dawn tests his groundbreaking invention low cost

wheelchairs for developing countries the heart of the design has them on a block. in the meantime one of them has arrived at the next house giving her much greater mobility and improving her life. this is if you are in for we don't need need jerk answers it's not the plastic chair that's bad and awful and damage all this black and white way of thinking is wrong it's not going to get us anywhere with right have seen in the light this film is a wonderful tribute to attack a plastic chair that is so much more than just that. i'll have a look at them the same way again now his soulful melodies and poignant lyrics seem to transcend time his songs will always be remembered as the dispossessed yearning for freedom and justice i'm talking of course about the legendary bob marley who

died 40 years ago aged just 36 he packed so much into his short life spreading his love of reggae from his native jamaica to the whole world while also advocating for peace. my my my one of bob marley's biggest heads it was recorded in the mid 1970 s. when the musical genre of reggae started its triumphal march from kingston jamaica around the world. 2 was my. that was. good and the song started it all i shot the sheriff but as recorded by art clapton the single by the british guitarist landed at the top of the us charts in 1984 and then everyone wanted to

know who had originally written the song. so often pave the way for bob marley's short but highly influential global career his lyrics often clearly address the situation of black people facing repression racism and poverty in. 1976 before marley performed at a concert aimed at calming political unrest in jamaica he was injured in an assassination attempt today bob marley is a national hero in his home country an idol to music fans around the world and the undisputed king of reggae music. marley died of cancer at just 36 years old following his death his song is this love became one of his most successful.
