this is the w news lies from berlin up next is covered $900.00 special taking a special focus on pregnant women and vaccinations kind of supply as much one. use that analysis on a website that is d w dot com. i'm really watching of, i use just against the corona virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection and in developing what does the latest research say information and contact the corona virus, not because of 19 special next on dw future wars, c, w richard walker explores the evolution of digital warfare, making military law more efficient,

deadly decisions. those elgar wisdoms survive interest scenarios as the future wars start to pence on the o bringing new life into the world during a global pandemic. some countries like mexico vaccinate pregnant women against cold 19 a relief for anxious mothers to be i was desperate to get a job. i was very nervous and excited yesterday i hardly slept, but now i'm calm and peaceful and i feel very happy with other countries like brazil read about side effect. at least one expect to mother has

died of getting vaccinated, leading many to wonder how best to protect the next generation. why come to the $900.00 special? i'm going to jones and been in good to have you with us and to those expecting a baby. congratulations, now i'm sure you could do without the extra worry about the pandemic. some clear guidance would help, but authorities including hearing germany, still undecided. so you hung up the info mit. evelyn kern is one of the exceptions and not the norm among pregnant women in germany. she's about to be vaccinated against coven. 19 i heard that it is now possible for pregnant women to be vaccinated. and i want to have as much protection as possible so that i don't catch the virus after roll and

then put myself in my child in danger. germany has yet to issue a nationwide recommendation on inoculating pregnant women. but last month, the vaccination commission and the eastern stay affects me did with emma renee vaccine such as madonna and biotech pfizer from the 20th week of pregnancy. in this we can see that pregnant women don't experience more side effects and the unborn children don't have a higher rate than without the vaccination. but we can also see that pregnant women with cove at 1920 times more likely to die from it. the commission use data from israel, the u. k. and the us decision. gynecologist cornelia herman has been inundated with requests, fighting intern plencik in principle, when doing the vaccinations in our free time, we just can't manage it during our consultation hours. and patients are coming not only from like going around saxony, but from other states to like today,

for example, from north rhyme was failure on many people are no longer prepared to wait for a recommendation from japanese national vaccine commission. nadine visa has travelled from saxon these neighboring state of target and you can for me, it's just very important that i protect myself as much as possible. and for me, that's the vaccination. some doctors in saxony holding off on vaccinating pregnant women until the recommendation is approved nationwide. but the only thing hindering gynecologist cornelia herdsman at the moment is the location arrival of doses. for moran joined by us, my colleague, professor at the feet of medicine unit health saint george's university hospital in london. good to have you with us. this is a very, very uncertain time for everyone, especially for pregnant women. is the reason why pregnant women should not get vaccinated. well, the short answer is, and no,

and there is no reason for them not to be vaccinated. and it is true that the initial will be back in ad trial did not include pregnant women. having said that, now we have data from the cdc on more than 100 miles, and norman received the vaccine and there were no safety signals or concerns either to themselves or their babies. well, that is an important point, because what do we know about the vaccines efficacy in pregnant women? basically because the job is given not just to one, but to 2 people. well, despite the fact we don't have the same quality of evidence as what we have on call, big faxing and non pregnant individuals. but the data that we have suggests that brings home and are likely to react to the vaccine similar to non pregnant women. it seems that be developed similar and he bought this and it seems that this antibodies cross the end that the baby gets this antibodies and where we the

protection and also this antibodies go in breast milk. so, you know, but then she used for, for the pregnant woman and, and the baby it's, it'll be interesting to see how that develops. if the baby is basically already inoculated in the mother's womb, whether it will develop some sort of immunity, even at a later stage, once it's been born, any speculation on that already? well, we did that. we have on that, what we call the m r n. a vaccines. this odd finder and my bed now. and they have this morning to it is unlikely actually that the baby gets exposed to the, to the virus or to that even the mom a. but what we know that it seems that antibodies and the mother uses seems to cross the blur center within shitty and my protect the base. you mentioned the m r

n a vaccine, because the latest recommendation from the joint committee and vaccination and immunization is that koby 19 vaccines should be offered to women and ideally, m r n a vaccines. why is that? why not vector vaccine? so other kinds i will, it is true that the current advise or guidance is i am, is to offer the m, r on a vaccines the pregnant woman, that's fine. and the dana and the reason behind that is the fact that big data that we have before the cdc, where on them are on a vac scenes a fine and the madame job the to back seen the where you are offered in the united states. i know for because we have safety data on these vaccines, the current guidance will recommendations is up for break norman to receive one of the 2 sections. you mentioned already that pregnant women were not part of any vax

in trials. and i mean, i'm not surprised to hear that. nevertheless, we know that those trials unnecessary because it does take tie him in order to find out if a vaccine has any side effects or if there is any long term damage to be expected. so what's the j c v i recommendation for pregnant women right now based on i will, the current recommendation is at the moment. can i get the that they call the, the vaccine so far we don't have any safety concerns and there is no reason not to offer it to pregnant women. you're absolutely right that we need to get evidence and that was half started. so there are a number of trials including pfizer vaccine and pregnant women and a number of centers and all over the world. participating and picking boston is trials, but it will take time. it will take will be

a year or 2 before we actually get any data on the development of this babies or the children at the age of 2, for example. so, but meanwhile, we need to make sure that we protect burden and offer them vaccines. and if they want him and just briefly, what is the ideal week when should a pregnant woman get vaccinated? is there a specific window of opportunity that will, according to the current guidelines, it is no specific window that we tell women to get seen or not to get the vaccine. having said that, the common apply is probably wait until the 12 week scan, just to make sure that there are no problems with the pregnancy, and then you can get the vaccine. and it's really important that we will make sure that this woman is protected before the latter. so as a pregnancy, we call it the cert. try my stuff, because this is a time where we know that it's more risky for pregnant women. if she gets

a call that she's more likely to need an admissions intensive care unit or become critical. and therefore, we want to make sure that she's protected before the life of the pregnancy. absolutely. professor kelly from the fatal medicine unit of saint george's university hospital in london. thank you so much for your time. thank you for having me and time for more of your questions now over to derrick. oh, what are the recommendations for breast feeding? mothers who contract coolard 19 o. studies have shown that babies born to mothers infected with source covey to very rarely become severely l themselves according to the world health organization. even if infants do contract cove at 19, it generally takes a quite mild or, or a symptomatic course. but in the pan demick,

babies have often been separated from their infected mothers in an attempt to prevent the child from getting it as well for newborns. however, both breast milk and skin to skin contact are crucial components of healthy early development. and the evidence indicates pretty convincingly that the virus can't spread through breast milk directly. the recommendation is therefore clear that whenever possible mothers should continue to breast feed their babies. but even though the risks to the ends and if it does catch covered $900.00 from its mother are quite low. they weren't 0, which is why both the w h o and the c d. c. also recommend taking some well known simple measures that can help to minimize them. the 1st is to practice good respiratory hygiene. so where a medical mass when within 2 meters,

if your child or while breastfeeding. the 2nd is to wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before picking up your baby. you can also use disinfectant, clean, frequently touched surfaces as well. if you have a severe case of the disease or have more serious complications, then you can consider pumping. so your baby can be fed by a caregiver. if you do that though, both of you should continue to take the same precautions during that procedure that you take when breast feeding directly in. before we leave some good news for school, kids in the tech republic starting today, they don't have to wear face mask during lessons anymore. they are taking it off. when do with the new infection,

the numbers going down there, the government decided to end the requirement to wear mosques in classrooms during breaks between classes must do remain compulsory. however, very slowly step by step back toward no malady. now that brings us to the end of this edition, of course, 19 special thanks for watching safe ego africa. the little wildlife trade is booming in nigeria as a result of extinction. re i rocketing in better ameria known as the need to me in the late tries to save the meaning of animals as possible. i have a way to get these babies. this poll me and i'll come and pick it up. eco africa. next on d w. they know that a piece of chocolate,

a be hello to abuse from the here in lagos, nigeria is good to have you with us. here is a look at some of the topics on the program i will meet. and jerry is working hard to reduce poacher illegals animal topic and see how you're in germany kenya makes punch in the dogs from left to look here. how to use social interpreters helping to ensure a clean supply of water up for the food children you get poor chain. and the legal trade in endangered species are a huge global business targeting everything from right. those to exotic reptiles and pan glens, around half of all seizures of paddling skills worldwide in 2019, could be traced back to large area. but it's that fact is many people resort to

hunting wild animals in order to provide for their families. and not just here, but in a number offer in countries. the the with cane red caps and the hunters walk off with a blunder. these young men regularly go out hunting with their dogs to sell what they catch at the local market and use the money to support their families. it's not unusual here niger area. young people knows that the restrictions on hunting, rarely enforced, but mark of law wants to reduce the loss of wildlife. the vet has been coming to this rural area for the past 5 years, p and the men here have an arrangement with founded on mutual trust. local, i treat most of them free of charge and in return because i try not to exchange

money as much as possible in return when they get, when it cut an animal. for example, the animal has baby that they can, it's those. maybe it's use that for them usually don't live in today, but the summer on the get them on the call me today to have a young tangle in for the vent. it's a valuable find to get them good money on the black market. but they've decided to give it a mark of want instead will form if i'm marking. yeah, we give mark the animals because he always helps us. but. busy if it weren't for him, we would have lost most of our dogs by now, because of the kind of work our dogs do. sometimes they'll be running my normal hit, his chest on a tree or fall into a trap that we set for the animal. and that can injure them with you all about. so once we tell mark, did he take care of the dog until it recovered much while after the full

hour round trip head to his surgery on the edge of lagos, addressed examined the young animal in china. pendleton scales of thoughts to have healing properties and meet his prize as delicacy. nigeria plays a key role in illegal trafficking with this model in africa. the small patient doesn't appear to be injured, but it will stay in force care until it regains its strength. it will needs special milk to get through the next few months. the vet finances everson with his own money. the snake recently underwent an operation. mark o 4 has no fear of the reptiles which has earned him the nickname, the snake man of li. gus is one of the few conservationists in jerry are openly fighting against the trade in wild animals. it often feels like a losing battle. i know i cannot relate. i know i can rest of my orders. i know i

helped shalt more. i know i have to do more. i know i have to push more. i know i have to see more animals. the local market from the outskirts of leg over a huge range of exotic animals. mock awful. i says, officials hardly ever check on what has been sold. he tries to explain to the trade is impact that the legal sales have on local wildlife bush me sells well here. a bundle and like this is worth $20.00. there are monkeys, large lizards and small crocodiles and turrets, as is sold both dead and alive. but traders remain on the ted. i have been able to convince them when you get these babies. this should not kill them. they should not throw them away. this you call me and i'll come and pick it up. but it's not just

a trade in bush meat and illegal traffic in that's impacting biodiversity. desmond, magical to me, is one of the best known environmental activists in the area. it says 95 percent of a countries forest has disappeared. and with its a huge echo system that is now lost forever. the scientists are very, very clear about it. we've entered one of the fastest extinction rates ever known to this planet, definitely ever known to mankind, and where on rumbling the very web of life. because each of these creatures, each of these animals, they have a role to play. that's why mark of law believes every animal counts. when those in his care have recovered, releases them into a wildlife park or somewhere deep in the jungle. for mock over the sight of an animal back in its natural habitat is the greatest reward possible.

rescuing animals are releasing them back into the wild, helps to protect and danger fishes was us. we've seen it requires a long term commitment and education that is right crease, which is why is that is also exploring other control wash methods to resolve species. and perhaps even to bring back some that have already died out. can you imagine the long last dodo reappearing again? or the woolly momma is not even a real push realty. let's find out. meet current, who's technically been dead for 22 years. you may have guessed it, kurt is a clone, and he's the 1st wild horse ever successfully close the which makes him quite a big deal. and he was just an experiment. scientists are now cloning, endangered species to slow down the rate of biodiversity and loss. and even improve

entire ecosystems in one word, it's just wow, obviously we want to say the species that we can. but how exactly would that work? and how realistic is that? welcome to the very weird world of wild clones, gene banks, and bringing species back from the after life. with the loaning has been controversial around the world with legitimate concerns about playing god or creating endless copies of species that wipe out bio diversity. but kurtz purpose is the exact opposite to bring diversity back to his population

of wild shrivels geese horses. so how is a clone, which is an exact genetic copy of another animal, supposed to bring back biodiversity all 2000 and shovels, keys, horses alive today have defended from only 12 wild ancestors to clone curt researchers used to unique gene that was frozen years ago. why don't other my them last from the school, but they used to domestic courses, surrogate mother, kurt is not the 1st endangered species to be cloned. there's even been a clone of an extinct species. but with look at success, appearance and ibex was clone 3 years after i went extinct using an old frozen skin sample. researchers impregnated over 200 domestic goats. only 7 became pregnant. one needed to term the baby died, minutes after it was born. less than one percent of wound clones ever survive,

and the lack of research and access to wild animal makes the entire process especially difficult. with curt, looking healthy scientists hope he will be the 1st clone to directly increase the genetic diversity of a population in the wild. no longer reacting to crisis. but we're getting out and being preventative. that's been novak one of the scientists who cloned curse and has been pushing the idea of cloning for conservation. the idea behind it is that we can use cloning in multiple ways to help endangered species, either by increasing the size of their populations or by using it strategically to maintain genetic diversity. let's take a closer look at that. increasing population numbers can help species recover, but scientists only have a limited gene pool to choose from. but the method being used here is to add to the

strength of the and a pool by bringing back genes that would have otherwise died out. this could make population more resistant to the effects of inbreeding and disease, and even make them better at adapting to climate change. biodiversity law is an existential threat. we face since the 1900 seventy's species populations have declined by around 60 percent. today, we could be losing up to $150.00 species each day. geneticists around the world have taken notice and are collecting and preserving whatever genetic material they can and lamps, zeus and gene banks. tomorrow is too late. i mean, today is too late for many species. i'm sure. so, i mean, starting the dna is like a last resort before they're gone. so at least we have the genetic heritage.

ad lewis co founded a british gene bank run by public universities, museums, and do. their consortium has collected over 40000 samples so far over 1000 zoos and research institutions around the world are working on assisted reproduction of wild animals, including 4 projects devoted specifically to cloning for conservation. the race to conserve genetic diversity is on and cloning may will save some species . but with costs and long term effects, still unknown. conservationists say it's much more sensible to focus on protecting the bio diversity we still have but until pot move, generally in the benefit nature, it is best to stick to conventional solutions. what about, for example, giving a 2nd life to the tons of used clothing and textiles. central africa,
