admirers, i'm quick so i can. how is the world's most powerful woman shaking her leg is be joining us for macros. last can i use? this is the, the news life from the us health officials are pretty controversial new drug for alzheimer's disease. the 1st treatment is i'll get the conditions underlying cause rather than symptoms. but experts say there's not enough evidence that it really works. also in the program. judges in the netherlands, evidence against full man, accused of bringing down malaysia airlines flight and made 77 years after the

civilian passenger play was shot. actually the skies families will hear testimony about how they love japanese vaccination campaigns on a role. not tricia stuff. another concerns that supply shortages can get in the way . the major indians that is deli, a look by lockdown restrictions as the country emerges from a devastating 2nd wave of infection. now officials say it is time to get the call me back on track. ah, i'm still gale. welcome to the program. u. s. government health officials have approved the 1st new drug for alzheimer's disease for many 20 years regulate to say the drug which will be marketed as to how is the 1st treatment that target call it

this of the disease rather than symptoms. but the approval is controversial with some expert. so arguing that there is no, not enough evidence of real benefits. let's take a closer look, research go to. he's professor of neurology and psychiatry at the mcgill university in montreal. welcome to d. w. professor. where are you on this drug? i do. how is it's a big breakthrough? well, it is an important step forward because it's the 1st mitigation approved for taking out of the brain this build up of the amended protein. and what it is, what is it about that that makes it so significant? well, it's been shown now for a good 10 years that the, it's possible to take out of the brain of persons with early alzheimer at the dementia stage. this excessive build up of middleware. what has been difficult to prove since it's doesn't matter to the patient. and the one of the 2 big studies

that lead to disapproval showed a good stability of ability to stay home alone safely. right. so where does a control come from? because one of the to study is very positive and the other one is negative and no benefit as so the da, i think wisely said, will give you a conditional approval. so you can start your marketing, get more experience in terms of safety efficacy in the real world, but you still want another randomized study for you to be able to continue using the drug. all right, so, so if conditional at best stage, because of course, lots of people are going to be listening to this news and i'm thinking, wow, this is great. when can i get my hands on this? well, to think carefully what you want to have a monthly injections for at least a year. and some of some people may have

a brain swelling from the medication. and this needs to be monitored carefully. but it's manageable risk. it's going to help some people we just don't know yet, which ones the younger or the older? earlier stages of the disease, if you have a particular genetic profile, possibly so still lots to learn about how best to use that medication. and those will follow does seem odd that this is the 1st treatment that target says you say the causes rather than the symptoms of this condition. why is that? well, it's a complex disease. for a century, we know that there's a build up in the brain of 2 key proteins, amino acid and tell me which one is the one that can now be treated. but it's probably been not sufficient to get the maximum benefit. the tao protein also needs to be targeted and there are supposedly an inflammatory component as, as well. and of course small stroke can speed up the process,

but stroke we can manage now. ok, so hopeful. thank you so much for explaining that said to us professor professor assertion, go to a from mcgill university in monro note of the netherlands, where judges have begun to hear evidence against 4 men suspected of being behind the downing of a malaysian passenger jet of eastern ukraine the trials being held near them. skilful airport from where the flight mh 17 took off. the suspects 3 russians and the ukrainian are still large, meaning they're being tried in the absence. old 298 people on board. the boeing 777 died when it was shot down in the 7 years ago. families of the victims are getting ready to hear some painful details and caught a tree for each of the people who never returned. the memorial site. next is people airport has $298.00 trees in total. 3 of them are dedicated

to pete books family. he lost his brother, his sister in law and their son on board flight mh 17. they left 2 daughters who did go with him and only those 2 young daughters at the, at the time. and so yeah, i had to tell the daughters that their, their father and mother and brother died and to tell my parents who were in the hospital at the time. so that was very shocking. yeah. pete tooth chairs, a foundation, bringing together thousands of next of kin. he says the image, 17 disaster header, real impact on all of dirt society where the bodies were repetitive. the whole dutch nation was less was what she did on television,

just terrible. but this was also very, very beautiful, that there was so much compression among such people like m a 17 took off here at people airport and never reach the spinal destination in malaysia. now after years of investigations, a court here in the middle and is determined to find out what exactly happened on that fateful day in 2014 and also who is responsible at the center of this inquiry are the remnants of the bowing. triple 7 here being viewed by the court. a massive jigsaw puzzle that was piece back together in a dutch military base. the crash site, 7 years ago, all 298 on board. the plane were killed when it was blown out of the sky over a war zone and eastern ukraine. evidence points to a book, anti aircraft system, which was moved from russia into rebel territory controlled by pro russian

separatists. these 4 men will stand trial. they remain at large, allegedly protected by russia. those were presenting the victims family, say this doesn't make the case any less important. law has a lower will. so in time can take 5 can take 10 years, maybe 15 years. and mister put in and his regime will not always be in power. so maybe if there's a shift in government and if there will be a shift policy. also there will be a shifting policy in this file so they will have no rest. the suspects, i'm sure that peter took, on the other hand, says he doesn't care that much whether the suspects go to jail. he just wants the truth to be spoken. i think it's important that, that we know what the role of the russia if they had the role, what role of the russia federation was not only push the button, but also who was in the and responsible for all for all? what happened?

so this can take years and even 7 years after mh 17 crashed, he's determined to see this through until the end a report from d w reporter mac zander, who was also at court in amsterdam. today marks very important next step in the case against 4 suspects connected to the downing. if they made 17 the court for the 1st time, we'll be looking at actual evidence put together by the dutch lead joint investigation team. this entails social media footage, witness reports and phone taps of rebel leaders, but also forensic evidence. for example, regarding the wreckage and also the bodies of people who died in a plane crash. this is vital to this case, especially important in order to determine whether or not emma 17 was, was taken down by a book michelle system. and from where this miss system is so would have been fired

. now the judge may clean his opening remarks that the court would address all options, would explore all alice. and that the russian role in this case would not be central to the case, but rather the role of the 4 suspects. but the court case also aims to find out the entire truth to find out about the backgrounds of who provided this michelle system is show to the for suspects. now, russia denies all responsibility in this case has been doing so for the last 7 years. and also to this day has done its utmost to get in the way of investigators getting to the bottom of this bus. and we'll take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. starting with russia, we're opposition figure alex in the valley has been discharged with prison hospital and returned to jail. it's an invalid. the scene here in court was hospitalized in

april. after going on hunger strike, he serving 2 and a half years for embezzlement. a case, a supposed to say philosophically motivated benita of nigerian militant islam is group boca harass, is dead according to a rival group of back. gotcha. cow killed himself by decimating an explosive device while fleeing fighters of islamic state, west africa province. the group claims experts at his death that could end the violent rivalry between the 2 groups. molly's kernel, i see me going to see me here in file footage has been sworn in as president after leading the 2nd qu, inside a year. this time he's promising to be a transitional leader and the whole transparency elections international community has condemned his paragraph. the more than 40 people have died to to express, trying collided in pakistan. dozens of others have been left injured. police say one of the trains de rails and then the other slammed into it. it's not clear what

caused the crash. pakistan's prime minister in my car has ordered an investigation . the twisted metal, the remains of 2 packed passenger trains. just before dawn, one train derailed, falling into the path of another hours after the crash rescue teams and local volunteers still trying to free truck passengers. the saudi will be mixed. 7 or 8 training carriages were destroyed. many passengers are still trapped there. and rescue work only started 3 hours after the crash. the injured taken to the local hospital, where medical workers rushed to save the lives of those pulled from the wreckage. but authorities say the remote location of the crash has slowed the rescue efforts

because that's how they can. you can see that the rescue operation is going on. the soldiers from the military ranges, district administration personnel and how it came to taking up on the operation will gain momentum off the heavy machinery arrive. yeah, much of pakistan's rail infrastructure is left over from the british colonial era. while the cause of this crash is still unknown, accidents are all too common on the run down railways. here in germany, chance the american conservative party celebrating the thing of a challenge from the far right alternative germany. that one more than a 3rd of the vote on sunday and a key regional election that's being seen as the last test of public opinion before national elections. in september, the sun shines brightly on the c d. u. headquarters in berlin. the results from the

saxony unhealthy elections has given the parties. chancellor candidate army law should a boost in confidence even though it wasn't his own victory. lasha thinks it will strengthen the conservatives. voters have shown a clear preference for his party to the far right. it is the c, d, u is a bulwark against extremism, mis most revered and these. and we will consistently continue this centrist course . that's what i stand for as party chairman and candidate for chancellor and get it and kind of hustle off one. the sex me unhappy elections, the state premier sees the root of his success. in his cooperation with the social democrats and greens, were sending a clear signal. we will distance ourselves from the f d and stick to our interest policies. so we can form a government with a clear voter mandate. this was our recipe for success. if you fail to make a big leap forward, despite strong poll numbers, they finished 2nd far behind the conservatives. the right wing party,

which is considered an extremist group and sex me, unhook still garnered more than 20 percent of the vote. we are a party of the people in sex in the unheard of course. we want to be popular nationwide and build on the election results from 2017. that's our goal for the national elections. it's not a good time for the left leaning parties. the social democrats popularity dropped even lower. the greens nationwide surge has come to a halt for the time being after a meagre gain and sex me on hold. not even 6 percent of the vote, a warning signal ahead of the general election. and despite starting slowly, germany's vaccination roller has now reached the point where anyone can ask for an appointment. after ours is ended, the priority group system may be getting the most vulnerable vacillated 1st. but now there are what is that the vaccine supplies won't keep up with demand. monday

morning in berlin's diverse crow expect district patients outside the local clinic . i'll have her all sorts of reasons, but 90 percent want that cove at 1900 job. so did she and her team deal with up to $450.00 vaccinations per week. the demand on the clinic has been nonstop since early april when they gave up their 1st bio tech job benz come schools, and it's been a huge onslaught by both our own patients. and those have never been here. they just drop by from all over the place on a woman who up comedy for by the germany. prioritize certain people at the start of the vaccination drive. last december, the idea was to get the jobs into the arms of people who needed them the most, including young people with special needs and the elderly. but since monday, anybody age 12 and older can get shot. some are ready warning of a shortage of vaccine supplies. but here at the christ clinics,

doctor say they've been vaccinating people rather flexibly anyway. and they think it's high time to end the priority system given infection rates are low, almost 90. decide. oh, it's not something you have to see the moment and gets a lot of people vaccinated. it's right to lift the privatization because otherwise we won't get the number of vaccinated people to the level. we need them by, by the end of september. miss and zip timber does appear to note a game tree. after a slow start, the vaccine drive is finally on a roll. in germany, almost 50 percent of germans have received the 1st shot, and one in 5 is fully vaccinated. and a general willingness still seems to be there on the streets of berlin. yes, i want my job because you need your freedom. i am a pos and if i wish, but i would like to get vaccinated, but i can't get an appointment. yes, i mean i was waiting for the team here because i'm from t let. to let all these roses was. super quick. experts are cautioning people in

germany against letting that got down too soon. but for now, with the holiday season ahead and some freedoms regains already. many, just want to enjoy a relatively kathy summer. with kathy summer is still unthinkable in many parts of the world. but current values, vaccination rates, much lower. as richer companies scramble to secure more vaccine doses, others are left behind. one country aiming to set an example is no way where the government is pushing for better access to vaccines for lower income countries. he w chief international editor, which had walker meant no waste of foreign minister. ericsson sir, either to find out more. so looking at the rollout of vaccines around the world, if we compare here in europe and in north america, roughly a 3rd of people have had one dose of the vaccine so far. if you look at asia, it's one in 15. and if you look at africa, it's under one in 50. is that in any way acceptable. we are very keen on,

underlining that no one is safe until everyone is safe. and that means that we have to invest in a fair and equitable distribution of experience. we have to make sure that production is ramped up. we are always a getting there, but it's too slow. and we have invested from the reaching side around $500000000.00 us dollars just in this program alone. and that has been good, but we also need others to, to step up. germany is a really stepping up their efforts. and we have together with us africa now issue the letter asking others to join in $83.00 countries to, to pitch in with more funding. but isn't it all just taking place to slowly? if we go back to those numbers again, i mean, if we have here in europe, more than 15 times more likely that you've been vaccinated in parts of the continent of africa, where we think to the future that can't be allowed to happen again. come in. now, and that's one of the things that we are working together with germany and south

africa, others on to make sure that if we have a situation again in the future, either with a pandemic or an epidemic that we are able to respond more quickly. that's why we are investing so much, not only in the distribution of axioms, but also to make sure that we have an architecture politically that can with withstand what comes as a big shock, obviously to everyone with the pin that make this time. and he had on peyton's just today, medicines called hong ts, criticize norway alongside the you in switzerland and other countries for dragging their feet on this discussion. what's your response to that? peyton's is only one part of the equation. the production capacity is also a very important part and also the ingredients in maxine and trying to produce ingredients. maxine is also equally important. we are now sharing the fits council in w t o in working to find a consensus and what has been put on the table so far by india and south africa has not been able to reach consensus among the w t o members. what we saw from the

americans just some weeks ago was a very positive step in the right direction, which we embraced. and we are now working to see if new suggestions, the new proposals are from india and south africa and from others can bring some consensus along that would be my hope. eric says, thank you very much. noise, foreign minister it's and so we'll take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world starting in peru where presidential that the presidential election still too close to coal. right. wing populace that k kofuji more holes and none of the votes are still being counted in rural areas. with a strong support for leftist candidate petro cast, you know, the way it will lead a nation suffering from recession and the world's worst corona virus, death rate. the last surviving liberator of shit since died. 1898. david sherman, the red army tank battalion broke through the fences of the nazi deck camp in

german, occupied poland. in 1945 and gay food till you may say to prison. this is later became an limpid fencer for the soviet union. an unusual funnel clouds been hovering over the british city of bristol, bridge weather forecasts to say the cone shaped phenomenon lingering about trees and houses is similar to a tornado except, but the end of the funnel does not touch the ground. india has faced weeks of crisis due to the corona virus pandemic. but now the countries turning the tide on the number of cases in some areas, at least with case loads dropping slowly, some restrictions are being lifted in the harvested regions. people are cautiously optimistic, but many calling for a faster vaccination rollout. in order to keep people safe. after a bitter transition from spring into summer coven, 1900, has gradually lifting some of its grip over indian society, with

a continued decline in new cases. parts of india are also lifting some protective measures, which in turn is raising people spirits. a ton of it, i'm glad today because i'm getting out of the house after a very long time. the metro stations are open, people are actually following social distancing precaution routing. in fact, yet cases remain high with more than 100000 new infections in the past day. still the highest rate worldwide, but many are optimistic about the future. because people are getting, you know, as you get rid of all these things, yes, the same, it was a disaster. young people, many people have lost their lives. but i don't think going forward would be around them. india's government says it is prepping for whatever might be mac. so stat, this is adequate that as we are doing all the calculations and preparations for

a potential 3rd wave case, if we reach this peak, how many beds and i use would be required to be how many should be for children? how much oxygen will be needed and the number of medicine body, kidney, or semester, but too many blame the lack of oxygen supplies. among the key reasons. india's death toll skyrocketed in may. on monday, india's prime minister nines ramadi announced plans to upset explanation rates rapidly. in hopes of avoiding a 3rd wave of the pandemic up that day and to now millions of citizens have received free vaccines from the central government up. now, all of those above 18 will also be included, vaccines will be available, free of cost for everyone. mowdy says efforts to increase production and import foreign vaccine doses are also underway as parts of india,

eas restrictions. some residents are warning their neighbors not to let down their guard like here in the territory of jama, cashmere, where volunteers are taking to the streets, wearing a prominent reminder of the ongoing threat, and urging people to still it here to cope in 1900 guidelines was what was causing something across the world pandemic, even having an impact under water divers in the philippines. a finding a growing number of face masks and personal protective equipment on the c bed, adding to the plastic waste that's already putting marine life at risk. it's becoming a tiresome routine. people go diving and bring back plastic trash when they stuff is. and now the pandemic is adding a new element to see pollution. like here in the philippines, the marine life has been able to take a break from us personally. however, they're getting inundated with a new source of trash,

which is bass mass face shield. and you know, the money suits that people are wearing the masks only add to the plastic bags, diapers, and packaging materials that already like local waters and residents say that means something needs to be done. i think we'll be seeing more of them more of the face my i think we will be wearing face my for awhile for quite some time. so even with the effort of the local government or establishment to actually segregate the sash for that, meaning we need to provide a separate trash being for the b b, b, a new report once about the growing problem of ocean plastic pollution. for 5th of it comes from asia, the u. n. is singling out the philippines saying it's responsible for

a whopping one 3rd of all ocean plastic is a quick reminder of our top story is our us regulators of approve the controversial new drug for alzheimer's disease. officials say the drug which will be marketed as i do how will tackle the conditions underlying causes? some experts say this, insufficient evidence to back up that claim set you up to date more world news at the top of the hours in just a moment. i'll take you through some of the bigger stories of the day in the day. good news. the who's the news?
