to custody, they just came and the 1st of all they took, i think the guy, the journalists out from the plane. and then the started this embarking the passenger, european and us diplomats quickly condemned the arrest as well as the diversion of the plane. you commissioned president or cellphone. the lion tweeted the outrageous and illegal behavior of the regime and bella risk will have consequences. she continued those responsible for the ryan air hijacking must be sanctioned. the protests of it just needs the colleagues have also called for sanctions. was once needs international pressures should be increased, the protests will not help. the people cannot fight guns with enough. there should be economic pressure, a boy out of the regime and your european politicians said finally, what would be effective in their order, sir? but yet europe, he and leaders are discussing suspending transport length between bella risk and

the you as well as suspending better was in overflights. other sanctions are in the works and effort to make the regime pay for its defiance of international and human rights law. more on the iraqi and then from dw brussels bureau chief, alexandra for non welcome alexandra. the lead is just arriving to discuss that joint reaction. what are the options? so what's on the table is an era of potential a punitive measures upon her arrival at the sun, the german chancellor ongoing medical stressed that the european union had already imposed sanctions against belie ruth. and that's more people, presumably official, is responsible for the incident could be black listed. so this is one of the proposals on the table member states or demanding that all the european union

slides over b, r o space should be suspended. there is also some talk about banding. b lucien states kalia the lobby from lending at the european union, airports and france has even suggested that the leaders should discuss suspending old trustee even ground trends. it's from below to the european union. so as you see, there is a lot of pressure on you leaders to not only condemn the incident, but also to, to act upon that you know, sounds pretty unanimous. should we expect one voice to emerge from this meeting? while the problem is that you need this unanimity to, to impose new sanctions. so this is only possible when all member states are on boards. but in the past we, we saw that the european union is struggling when it comes to the common position

on many foreign policy issues on be loose as well. last year it took the blow quite a while to respond to the rick presidential election and to impose sanctions against lucas sion court and his regime. so that will be very interesting to see tonight if we will see all member states on board on this foreign policy issue. well, let's see from the german chancellor, whom you mentioned just the medical issues just arriving. and it's fun. so we witnessed a forced landing, which resulted in the arrest of a better recent opposition figure on roman pro savage. it's good for your thoughts on which he must be released immediately and everything about the forest landing of the ryan. our flight is unbelievable for food is the same, applies to his partner, sophia, such a guy at the same time, we will discuss what actions we can take against bella. ruth,

with one united european voice, was an even can be your parents are shouted at barrows before so hard to see what, what action they can take that's going to make present lucretia co pay any more attention this time. well, i think it's fair to say that we definitely can expect a statement today condemning the incident in minutes, and of course also calls on on an international investigation. the problem however, is that so far we've seen president lucas con, not being very impressed by what the european union had to say about his action and sanctions imposed so far didn't have any effect on his behavior. ok, thank you for that alexandra phenomena in brussels. we'll take a look now, some of the stories making news at this hour, man, my state television had broadcast a single photo of ousted liter. i'm some su,

she appearing in court today alongside to other defendants. it's the 1st time she's been the same since the lawyers say the 75 year old remains defined. i think conspiracy is facing a series of challenges including incitement to sedition. jump please in israel say they shot and killed in the silent to stop 2 people in jerusalem. one of the wounded men was soldier attentions in the city. hi. have to israel 11 day war with how much militancy gas wall street journal says worth, as it's in the boundary and woo hon. displayed corona virus symptoms before the stuff. the panoramic reports. i've had us intelligence to say 3 scientists from china with an institute for robert g for hospitalized in november, 2019, which lends credence to the theory that the pandemic was caused by a lovely china has dismissed walker of his more developments.

and the corona virus pandemic starting in india where the official code with 900 death toll has passed 300000 behind only the u. s. and brazil japans opened its 1st mass vaccination centers 2 months before the start of the olympics. just 2 percent of the population is fully inoculated, significantly less than the us or many european countries. a new research in the u . k. has found the dogs can be trained to detect more than 90 percent of cove in 1900 infections. even when patients are a symptomatic with horses in italy, have launched a man's voter investigation after sunday's deadly cable car crash and the outs, 14 people were killed in a child's sears the injured when the gondola they were travelling and plunged down the side of a mountain the crush happened near the town of a sea near the top of a scenic cable car line, connecting the town of stressor on the shores of lake majority. with the summit of mount macaroni, a special commission has been set up to determine whether there was negligence in

the maintenance process. this cable car plunged 20 meters to the ground and rolled down the states flight before trace started going any further. nearby high could say they heard aloud his just before the crash. officials believe it was caused by one of the cables breaking the name of strays. i says the news has devastated the local community. just as it starts to open up after the pandemic. amber to momento, been mad is a terrible moment for me and for our community. and i also think for the whole of italy, these people thought they were going on a nice day out. we encouraging everyone to get out. so we can recover from the pandemic that everyone has lived through. instead, this is a terrible disaster. the cable car is popular with visitors and locals seeking

a mountain top view of northern italy, picturesque lake, missouri, tourists who use the same cable car feel lucky to be alive when we got on the cable car an hour before the tragedy. when we got on the cable car didn't give any strange signals, everything was fine. when they told us the news, we were shocked. the local authorities say the cable car recently underwent a successful safety check. the italian government has announced a commission to investigate the disaster. sports, a former warm red bulls. max fished up and has won the monica grown prey. the 23 year old dutchman moved to the top of the drive, standing for the 1st time in his career with $105.00 points defending champion. there was hamilton finished, a disappointing 7th in the race where much of the drama happened before the green light the money gas funds were hoping to watch. local boy shall declare when his

home grown pre from pole position. but the gearbox problem. so the priority driver cruelly forced out of the race just minutes before the start. oh no max pushed up and took up position alone on the front row. and he dominated the rest of the grid on a circuit where overtaking is notoriously difficult. the young dutchman was helped by a disastrous day for mercedes reigning champion. louis hamilton finished 7 and was frustrated after his team changed its pre race pit strategy. meanwhile, the britons team make voluntary bought us was forced to retire. when mechanics couldn't remove a front wheel, as he pitted, pushed up increased hold my head authorities, carlos science and mclaren lando noticed, taking a checkered flag waived by the guest of owner tennis superstar serina williams. and his team was quick to confirm a career milestone fabulous drive. i modified corporate with

a moment. and i'll be back at the top of the good news news. the news, the fight against the corona virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection in developing what the us, the latest research thing, information and context. corona virus. 19 special next on d w. how does a virus spread? why do we panic? and when will all of this just 3 of the topics that we covered in

a weekly radio broadcast. if you would like any more information on the krona virus or any other science topics, you should really check out our podcast. you can get it wherever you get your podcast. you can also find us at ww dot com, forward slash science. the me ah, ah, weight show has labeled a subtype of that covered 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 sub type is responsible for the majority of new cases. in parts of england. germany has banned all 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 astrazeneca, the thought to be highly effective against the variance after 2 doses and ben fizzle and 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 ding to give us the specifics on speed of infection. right. so in terms of transmission bead b, 16. 17 to the in the variance is spreading faster than not only will hon original strain but also the u. k. b 117 variance is about anywhere from 30 to 50 percent faster than the u. k. barry 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 this race against this bart 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 worrying because a faster transmitting ovarian 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 there the u. k. previously, the b 17 took over the u. k over the winter time. and now is until recently 100 percent. but the indian very is so much faster. there is no even replacing the

previous the facts 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 a 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 said that cause it doesn't mutate as quickly as something like the flu and that she wasn't too concerned that the efficacy of vaccines was going to become an issue. is it now becoming an issue? i think it is becoming issue public health in mind over the weekend put out on a risk assessment. they have updated with assessment. that's 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 vaccine and 2 doses. it's only 60 percent. now, don't get me wrong. 60 percent is again symptomatic but illness and definitely good and much higher likely for severe illness. but that excludes a sub domestic 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 5 direct advocacy against be 16. 72 is a little bit higher. 88 percent with 2 doses, but only 50 percent one does. this is much lower than what we know against the

other variance. and so we're 60 percent actual danica africa see which is after that there's 2 thirds of all vaccines and u. k. and large majority of the vaccine 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. luckily there are 5 will be and 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 variance. the double use chart. chelsea pill reports is bolton tooth. britain weights, search my explanations 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 infection rates in bolton,

the transmission has been happening in the younger age groups. 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 and recent basis that we have to box and a whole. and before the end of may, this is a delicate moment in the u. k. is 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 has had a successful vaccination campaigns. they thought 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 u. k.

dominant can strain what is 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. assign vaccines a working information that we've seen the j. c b on suggests that our current vaccines do consider 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 be able to vaccinate all way on 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 transmits ability will help determine where the england continues down. it's passed to freedom, open the brakes on its road maps, else have locked down to our science correspondence, eric williams with your questions on the corona virus. this time, the question about variance from a different perspective, call, science covey to virus inevitably continues to mutate, could also mutate to become less deadly. this is complicated, but here goes. the short answer is yes, that could happen, and we hope it will, but there's no guarantee scientists used to believe that pathogens always evolved to grow less deadly because it was thought a deadly disease isn't an effective disease. the reasoning was that if a pathogen kills its host, especially if it kills 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 pathogens to someone else since they're shutting more of it some. so we actually think there's kind of an evolutionary tradeoff between trans miss ability and virulence. and there are certainly pathogens, for instance, the tuberculosis bacteria that have 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 and 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 corona viruses and early childhood might be helping to prevent more severe cases of the sicknesses they could cause later in life. the source code to does become an endemic background illness in our society. then, then 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 makes lemonade, or in times of covert if life gives you a pandemic,

try to have some fun with it. hungary, an entrepreneur 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. 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 faster retailer. when his doors had to close salt on suit, i had to focus on online sales. but how to learn people to the website. his kids took up the challenge with a game that net 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 soon. ah, the me. the news . the

news, the the, the ah, these places in your records, the step into a venture is the treasure map for modern globetrotters. discover some of you have to record breaking into and now also in book form amendments. so many pushed out in the world right now the climate change. if any conference stories, this is much less the waste from just one week. how much was gonna really

go? we still have time to go. i'm doing all this tribe like doesn't use a shot coming up today and it falls deadly 2nd wave of corona, virus infections with hospitals, that breaking point and oxygen supplies running low the government off mountain. yes. that help but can be oxygen cylinders. they donate health and they fall off if it's crisis plus japan's race to vaccinate the country.
