the the old way can be the generation ends that so good. malaria must die. so millions can live me doesn't use a show coming up today. naples deadly. second wave of corona, virus infections with hospitals, the breaking point and oxygen supplies running low, the government off the mountain. yes. but can be oxygen cylinders, they donates health nephron office crisis plus japan's raised to vaccinate the country future up. it's called the 1900 immunization campaign. ahead

of this summer beleaguered olympics. and china senior influences aging and in some cases it's better off population is finding social media themes the news by bit or spend you welcome to do the news a show. glad you could join us and overwhelmed health system. a shortage of oxygen and medical supplies. i could be talking about india is about a situation, but this is the state of its nor the neighbor naperville for weeks now, the country has been registering thousands of daily new infections and increasing debts some 177 people died on friday alone. the government has a pin for help and is also asked, clambers, attempting to scale mount everest,

to bring back empty oxygen cylinders to help with the oxygen shortage in the country. gas things precious breath in a race against time. these coven patients in the himalayas fighting for their lives, there among the lucky few to have access to oxygen, vital, but increasingly scarce resource hair. a recent surgeon cove at 19 cases, has brought in a poor fragile health care system to a breaking point. and oxygen supplies are running out. now the government's urging not ever it's climate to help expedition margin. somebody, in addition to install climbers at the base counter have an ample number of oxygen cylinders, high quality. and we have requested owners and operators to bring back those empty cylinders immediately after the completion of their expeditions, utilizing the benefits of the people family. so i got all the pool has issue some

700 climbing permit this season and been to get the mountaineering and tourism industries back on their feet. it's estimated climate will abandon around a 3 and a half 1000 oxygen bottles on the mountain this year alone. cylinder is desperately needed in the fight against corona virus, our, of our man, and in our public that have a lot of war and bio sick news. so they have a problem for oxygen. we have around 7, some tricks have that 1000 bottle. so we can, we can one day from here, we can provide the cylinder to our main, and government will make it clear for medical oxygen. these bottles are being prepped for a mountain trick. he's the government's plans, work out. they could soon be saving lives on the ground. and jeremy from the capital. cott mondo is dr. nathan press. our team sina. he's chair of naples,

red cross, dr. things you know. welcome how severe is the oxygen shortage in the bottom that thank you. thank you very much. i'm the net bought it. you started in the oxygen supply. i bought the bought the equipment is 30 to cylinders and then oxygen productions. and then many people are dying without getting dark sheet and are ok. and then also without waiting to speech and saw the dog is considered to be the primary treatment. so the q will start dates and other governors off the clambers to bring back oxygen. so then does for mount everest, how much of an impact will that have on the overall situation? no, you don't because governmentally it's trying to call it and then are you the medical effect or not all the, all the us be all the way to using the industry in the job in the,

in the client being in the hiking in the mounting, all of the all the have been about government has asked to bring back and to get to the medical sector, particularly the hospitals, because i'm not about 3 weeks before fully blood. there are the if you start this, but now i did the b supply from fina from golf twenty's the dias ball and also some counties the party example united states and then some other countries have also supported. so now it is kind of the balance. we have the balance of the cylinder, but now we are, if you will start date of the off season production. so our goal moment, our goal mindy is trying to install off season blonde. so you still bought both the

cylinder out of the issue. that is, if you started not, you know, and then she's in bond production. so what help does napoleon need from the world right now? do things good things. so 11 thing, one thing in the past or do you see the supply board in terms of the cylinder and then all the medical equipment related with oxygen supply and then oxygen, product blonde, that is the one. and the other one is the backseat. because the without the vaccine, without the vaccinations will not get to eat the, eat whatever we, even if we will have the, you know, you don't want, you know, you know, medical supply supplies. but we don't vaccine so far. news at this time do things from the international community to support our government. you need to promote the see them where we didn't hospitals,

we don't the supply and then where did the system and then vaccinations. dr. net. so the teams in our chat often appalled a red cross. thank you so much for joining us. thank you. thank you very much inviting me in giving me this opportunity. and in other developments related to the corona virus in the region, states across india have begun to getting a black fungus epidemic, as cases shoot up in patients recovering from over 1900. the disease known as new coe, my courses has a 50 percent mortality rate and it's linked to an over use of steroids. and the treatment of the co nevada's taiwan had seen a jumping virus related deaths. i mean, it's what's outbreak since the beginning of the pandemic. from 17 to 23 on sunday. daily cases remain above 250. and all policies in cambodia have further used restrictions including lifting a few and a ban on alcohol sales. despite rising case numbers. japan on

monday opened to mass inoculation centers in tokyo and or soccer, to administer corona virus vaccines to enter the residence. the aim is to vaccinate the countries 36000000 elderly people in time for the opening of the olympic games on july 23rd. the odds are against the government. there is a shortage of medical personnel. good. oh, no virus cases in the country are rising and vaccine confidence is low. the offices of a former tax office in tokyo. now one of japan's 1st mass vaccinations centers, everyone over the age of 60 families is eligible for a shot. now, as you see, i'm feeling very believed and grateful. for a long time, a year and a half, i was feeling rather anxious, intense. you don't know who might get to sell this. i don't care if i get it or not, but i didn't want to pass it onto my parents. so my children, so interested us postal. no, no, i think the staff is still getting used to it

a bit, but they still got things done pretty quickly. i made my reservation at 8 am and by 826. it was over, including the waiting time japan's vaccination drive got off to a slow start. vaccinations only began in mid february, month behind many other countries. far less than 5 percent of the population have had a job with the olympic games being held here in tokyo, in just 2 months time. the new vaccination centers i meant to speed up the vaccine rollout, but many feel it's too little too late. when working was done it early and got 80 or 90 percent of people vaccinated by the time of the olympics. and then for sure the games can be held without a problem. but you already have 2 people most here worried about the games post. show that up to 80 percent of japanese. people don't want the olympics to go ahead

and with good reason. tokyo and 9 other areas remain under a state of emergency. infection rates are on the rise, and in cities like soccer hospitals are running out of beds and ventilators, as japan battles of food. the wave of the pandemic. ah, china is going through a major demographic shift. the recent national census revealing the lowest birth rate in decades and the number of the tire ease is set to sort of the coming years, providing both a challenge and an opportunity. those hundreds of millions of senior citizens are becoming a lucrative market for the digital economy. and that's giving rise to a new, older generation of influences. the they call themselves the fashion grandma's senior citizens, bringing

a golden age of style back to the streets of aging. i thought of a wave of elderly influences taking chinese internet by storm. their regular video uploads attracting millions of views. 76 year old son, she'll jo joined the group 2 years ago and she's getting used to her social media success. so kind of in fashion. when i 1st saw myself on video, i thought there's much to improve and i felt a little embarrassed. but i also felt excited, especially to know we have so many fans more than 7000000. so i feel excited and in demand that demand is being driven by an expanding grey head economy as china's population ages. well off retirees are looking for ways to spin their cash. and increasingly,

it's with the help of this smart phones. it's you enough for run ya ching reaches over 7000000 fans with her video vig, nits of beijing's historical and cultural hotspots. certainly help was younger. young people issue, we know nothing, but that's wrong with actually the elderly know everything and we can deal with anything. they certainly dealt with major change in their lifetimes, including mouse culture revolution, and it's correct down on who's the pursuits now that same generation is embracing modern consumerism. and it's finding its voice on social media play told us all will be male, helped from a to mom in the beginning, i didn't expect to be successful just totally then from. i just felt that because i'm old, my family would get annoyed with me staying at home all day. got to that. so we made a channel for me to speak to older people this started. now everyone says,

i'm an influence so bad or fall or whether it's for shopping or entertainment. a new life on line is just beginning for many shawnee seniors. we like to say age is just a number. and these women are showing the connected world that they still count and that's it for the very 1st morning website, the dot com forward slash, a sharp rebec tomorrow. quincy. then go back with the fight against the corolla virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection in developing what the us, the latest research information and context the corona virus, not because it 19 special on dw,

you ready to get these places in europe are smashing all the records into a venture. just don't lose your grip. the treasure map for modern globe trotter cover. some of us from wykard site you to know also in book form ah ah, ah, w h o has labeled a subtype of that cause it 19 virus 1st discovered in india as a variant of concern. it's a chilling phrase. the $16172.00 is thought to spread more easily. the subtype is responsible for the majority of new cases in parts of england. germany has

banned old travelers from the u. k, except its own residents due to concerns about the strain. but there is some good news, the vaccines from pfizer biotech and asked her to indicate a thought to be highly effective against the variance after 2 doses and been presumed welcome. just when we could see light at the end of the tunnel. and so much of the world was getting back sedated up pops and you variance that has scientists worried? i asked epidemiologist. eric 5 didn't to give us the specifics on speed of infection. right. so in terms of transmission speed, b, 1617 to the, in the variance is spreading faster than not only the regional strain but also the u. k. b 117 very it is about anywhere from 30 to 50 percent faster than the u. k. variance and about 2 times

faster than the original. that means it is more contagious. it travels from person to person much faster. and this is a serious problem because what used to work in terms of mitigation will still work, but work as much. it is a tug of war in disgrace against different buyers and so mitigation that used to slow down the virus may not be enough with a more, faster transmission. very, can you also put it into context for me in fighting this pandemic where puts us is this, is this worrying for you? this is worry. definitely worried because a faster transmitting a variance will be the one that spreads and spreads faster and 2 more countries. and now in the u. k, it's spreading so fast, it is now replacing the previously fast their u. k. previously

a b 117 took over the u. k over the winter time. and now is until recently 100 percent. but the india very is so much faster that is now even replacing the previously baths are buried and now it's now 50 percent overall. total cases in the u. k. a 70 percent in already in some parts of the northwestern u. k. and these are not traveler case. these are community cases in the u. k. and now hospitals are searching and pediatric infections are also searching wherever this in the very the speed here seems to be very telling a doctor i spoke to just last week and said that cause it doesn't mutate as quickly as something like the flu. and that she wasn't concerned that's efficacy of vaccines was going to become an issue. is it now becoming an issue?

i think it is becoming issue public helping one over the weekend put out on a risk assessment. they have updated risk assessment that not only transmission speed, they have greater confidence. it's faster, but vaccine efficacy, they say with one dose is only 33 percent with astrazeneca, backseat and 2 doses. it's only 60 percent now, don't get me wrong. 60 percent is again symptomatic but it's definitely good and much higher likely for severe illness but excludes a symptomatic and we know a symptomatic, it's often how much lower than symptomatic. so it's symptomatic efficacy. it's only 60 percent, 660 percent reduction compared to no vaccine. that is good, but not foolproof anymore. and that is a problem. granted. find direct seen efficacy against be 16. 172 is

a little bit higher. 88 percent with 2 doses, but only 50 percent. which one does this is much lower than what we know against the other variance. and so we're 60 percent actual danica efficacy, which is actually about 2 thirds of all vaccines and the u. k. and large majority of the vaccines in india, and as well as the world, we know that it is not for proof for slowing down the virus entirely is 60 percent navigation. okay, well that's something that they will do. thank you very much for joining us today. thank you. well, the officials in the u. k. are in a rush to fully vaccinated population due to the various b w's. charlotte chelsea pill reports is bolton tooth, britain weights. such vaccinations are on the way in this northern english town to combat the rapid rising cases of the cove at 19 variant. best identified in india.

it's already the dominant strain here and is likely to become dominant nation warrant. what we've noticed is with our inflection rates in bolton, the transmission has been happening in the younger age grips i've been putting a lot of pressure on since the government, especially to make sure that we can relate the vaccination as quickly as possible. and essentially what i've been saying in recent days is that we have to box and a whole also, before the end of may, this is a delicate moment in the you case, fight against the 19 well, thousands have been vaccinated here in the last few days alone these measures are unlikely to contain the spread with the same variance already detected in dozens of areas in england. k, a had a successful vaccination campaign, say, saw some 70 percent of adults have had at least one dose. but that still leaves a considerable number, who are unvaccinated,

no authorities here are wanting is among that population. this strain could spread like wildfire. this variance is considered more transmissible from the you can use dominant chemistry. what isn't known is by how much a significant increase could see hospitalization surge. but there is reason for hope in both and the majority of those in hospital haven't been vaccinated despite being eligible assigned vaccines. a working information that we've seen, the jayceon suggests that our current vaccines do confer immunity again. stephen, this new variance, we're picking up novel virus infections, but we're not seeing severe disease emerging in a fearful way. so so i think it's quite likely that over be able to vaccinate us with this one as some remain cautious. others are enjoying newfound

treating socializing and doors returned across the country this week with all restrictions due to be lifted in just over a month now. but the government says the next few days will be key. dates are on case numbers and trans miss ability will help determine whether england continues down it's path to freedom. open the brakes on its road maps out of lockdown to our science correspondence eric williams with your questions on the corona virus. this time a question about variance from a different perspective call. as could be 2 virus inevitably continues to mutate, could also mutate to become less deadly. this is complicated, but he'll get this and the short answer is yes, that could happen and we hope it will. but there is no guarantee scientist used to believe that pathogens always evolved to grow less deadly because it was thought

a deadly disease is an, an effective disease. the reasoning was that if a pathogen kills its host, especially if it killed that host quickly, then it lowers its own chances of being passed on so less deadly, more transmissible variance should have an evolutionary advantage, right? well, the problem with that logic is that virulence can also be viewed as an advantage because the sick of the host grows, the more likely they are to give their pathogen to someone else since they're shedding more of it. so we actually think there's kind of a, an evolutionary tradeoff between trans miss ability and virulence. and there are certainly pathogens, for instance, the berkey loses bacteria that had been infecting humans for thousands of years, yet still kill large numbers of people to see what the future might hold for

october 19. therefore, scientists have been looking at the other corona virus is known to infect humans. in particular the for that we think have been doing it for quite a while. they only cause mild, cold like symptoms. interestingly, that might have less to do with them and more to do with us, especially with our children. one theory is that repeated exposure to those other a corona viruses and early childhood might be helping to prevent more severe cases of the thicknesses they could cause later in life. as far as co, too does become an endemic background illness in our society than, than later. generations of children will be exposed to it early at an age when it rarely makes you seriously ill, and that in turn, should make subsequent exposures much less dangerous, or at least that's the hope. me. now when life gives you, lemons,

make some lemonade, or in times of covert if life gives you a pandemic, try to have some fun with it. hungary, on for printer has turned the hunt for a vaccine to video game. did you include the indian mutant? yes, they are the red ones. so the yellow one is the norma virus escaping the virus with a swipe of a finger. it can be so easy, at least in this smartphone app. so the goal of the game is to collect vaccines. you will have a little man wearing a mask, and the main task is to avoid the viruses. of course, they are normal viruses and they are the mutant ones, which of course are much worse. i think that the free game is supposed to bring in big business for griff collections, hunger and fastened retailer. when his doors had to close salt on suited to focus

on online sales. but how to learn people to the website. his kids took up the challenge with a game that nets players points convertible into real money discounts for the brands close. it's unclear when business in stores will pick up again until then, the suitors keep playing, hoping that everyone catches the vaccine soon. thanks for watching. stay safe and see you again. so the the news, the news news,
