he said that the inequality of the past must not be built into the recovery of the future. and you will say, said that he thinks that the, the summit will be a success. but of course, we know that that devil is going to be in the details. you've mentioned that really big, big topics will have to be tackled climate change the pandemic, but also foreign policy issues like russia and china. well, the need is that we're all smiles for the traditional so called family photo, but how harmonious is the conference expected to be? well the g 7 lead is all really on paul, when it comes to the wish to showcase democracy. they want to show that liberal democracies are a good model of society. they want to make it attractive for the rest of the world . you as president biden in particular, wants to also make sure that the u. s. s. back and back from his relative. it's relative isolation on the president trump, however,

the devil is going to be in the details and we know that, for example, the u. s. one to be quite strong on china. whereas with in the g 7, they're all quite divergent views when it comes to standing up to china. for example, the chancellor uncle america said in her opening remarks that nothing can be achieved without, without china, for example, when it comes to climate change being all the climate change. this could well be the latest last chance to make a real difference on climate change policy. you expect any major commitments by the g 7 later the pressure is definitely on here in cornwall all around me. there are protested extinction, rebellion protest, and other climate change. protesters and i speak to one of them and she said, they have the feeling that the message is getting through. generally that there is a shift and the leaders are listening to them when they are preparing their various

statements on what needs to be done. and the g 7 leaders will definitely know. for example, just today the international energy agency has said that the demand for oil is for cars to rise next year to pre pandemic levels. and the g 70 does have committed to keeping the temperature rise below $1.00, sorry, 1.5 percent. but how to achieve that is going to be a big cause can for example, the one issue that climate change campaigns are quite strong on is to stop, to stop the ex result financing. something that could be harmful for the environment abroad. and this is an issue that lead us, we'll have to discuss at a summit, suddenly some big ticket items on the agenda. date of it is a big loss. speaking from cornwall at the g 7 summit, thanks. ms. turn off. some of the stories making news around the world, famine and afflicting some 350000 people in northern ethiopia. according to

a new report, the u. n. lead analysis describes catastrophic food shortages in te grier, a region devastated by fighting between government forces and rebels. it was an additional $2000000.00 people could quickly dives foundation without urgent action . but counting has wrapped up in peruse presidential election, but authorities yet to declare a when they say the right between left is pedro castillo and conservative co figure . maury is too close to coal bridge. maury claims they were voting irregularities, but an independent independent observe as well. that the german finance minister all i've shown has reportedly paid 2000000 euros to get information on suspected tax dodges the news magazine dash legal says his ministry store data on several 1000 germans with real estate, interest in divine information could expose significant tax crime.

members of germany, greens have opened their 3 day potty conference. they enter formerly endorse annalynne, a babble cuz they a candidate for chancellor in september's national elections. this comes after a recent poll showed a drop in popularity for the environmentalist group a party. the grains had made major gains after nomination in april, several blunders by some members have set the party back in its quest to provide a successor for the outgoing conservative chancellor anglo merkel. as cause to d w, that chief political editor, mikaela christner, she's at that party conference of the greens in berlin retailer a considerable drop in popularity for the green party. what went wrong? yeah, that's what many people are asking. well, it was a couple of mini scandals or love blunders, whichever way you want to see it,

which goes from undeclared christmas bonuses of the top cross of the policy to another babel chance the candidate failing to have a clear language in the being pulled out there being improvised to college, i have to apologize to everybody. and now we seen this in the opinion polls, which is rather significant because the trend was pointing towards 30 percent. now it's down towards 20, and i'm going to see you coffee, which was only a couple of weeks ago when it was ruled in its own leadership struggle is now heading upwards. again, the big question is, is this whole for the green? will they be able to recover from this, or is this a downward trend? indeed, i mean national elections are just a few months away scheduled in september,

1 of the party doing to try to build back that trump. well they have that homework set out here at this party conference, which is most the vote tool. this is where they finally decide both the program, but it was the top chance that candid alina babel. and if they fail to display much needed unity at this point in time, and this would be to the detriment of the greens, who now have to prove that they have what it takes to be serious about actually being in government. because that's where the pointing just a few weeks ago, whether they as a large party might even resign themselves to being a coalition part. no potential opposition. those proofs needed here of unity needed to prove that they have to take heads into that they sent me an interesting team on the head, dw, that chief political editor,

mckayla has no reporting from the conference of the grains in berlin. one second now and after a year, long delay because of the pandemic. the postpone euro 2020 is finally kicking off the tournaments tonight in run with italy taking on turkey take off is less than 3 hours away. that's the 1st time in its history. the event will be taking place across europe. despite the pandemic, all 11 host cities have been clear, been clear to have found in the stadiums. with those without a ticket host, cities have set up fans zones where people can watch the games on giant green lima attack from dw sport joins us now from one of those fans and at rome's pants. to del paula, the people square element is not long to go there. now, before kickoff, you're right in the heart of the city. what's the atmosphere like the the year

2020 atmosphere is everywhere and know where it's so very strange paradox. you could be walking the streets of rome and not even realize that the printer to one of the biggest football tournaments in the was, is about to kick off in a few hours time. we talk very little flags hanging from roof tops from homes, from bell to me. then of course, on the other hand, you have to trust as these and i have to show them to you. you have to see that this year, for example, is one or for 3 public screenings organized by you, a 5 and up to 1010 will be expected to be here. of course they have to follow very, very strict guidelines that have to wear math and keep a distance. and what's interesting is that a lot of the know that we both to we're not even away if public screenings are

happening at all. and that's because you, if i initially had said that due to the cold due to corporate 19, they would not hold the sort of event. so a lot of local found out yesterday only a few days ahead of time and also through word of mouth. but going back to your question about the atmosphere, the football atmosphere, italian standards, i would say it's quite mellow, but perhaps maybe, you know, the tournament picks up and they thought winning games as i do believe that the italian football spirit was slowly come back quite surprising to hear that about the time and spirit, no doubt. of course, one of ours has a lot to real big role to play in bad, have fans in rome, expressed any concerns. it's a mixed bag. rebecca. i mean, it depends who you talk to. you get a gazillion different and i'm on the one hand, of course being able to hold a tournament like this of this magnitude. the open,

i'm talking about the opening event does bring that attends of norma's see for a lot of local. but on the other hand, and of course you also have the economic with it also, you know, inject money into the economy. but on the other hand, it's a risky business. we should not forget that italy was the peace center in europe of the kronos. i was panoramic and i spoke to a lot of low codes and many here often, and bad events like this could perhaps lead to a touch of corporate 900 cases while we hope not thing is cross there. now, i mean, we're really running out of time, but just looking ahead to the mass itself. can home country italy be confident of a wind tonight? they have momentum, they unbeaten in 27 games are well this tournament will be a big test, but they do have a beautiful home advantage while i pick them in the tipping. so fingers crossed, they're talking in run today of the sport. thank you. and

other football needs brazil, the supreme court has ruled the nation can host the co for america. so to start this sunday, after days of doubt had the that the 10 minute told him in the future it was in limbo. the vote to hold the cope with unanimous despite political groups challenging the tournament. because of a 3rd in corona virus cases, resistance even came from the brazilian national tame. it was originally to be hosted by columbia and argentine before those 2 countries were dropped. because that is to take place without fans and stadiums there in winder about tough story. well ladies have kicked off the g 7 summit in cornwall, england fighting the pandemic and climate change are respected to be the main topics of the 3 day meeting. the g 7 has already pledged to provide 1000000000 doses of covered 19 vaccines to poor countries. to move aims to address criticism that wealthy nations has to keep the vast majority of doses for their own

population. watching dw that live from berlin, coming up after a short break is october 19th, special stay change so that i'll be back with more headlines at the top of the hour . you can always stay up to date on our website. that's w dot com. i'm rebecca richardson. berlin, thanks for joining us. ah, excuse me. just fight against the corona virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection in developing? what does the latest research information and contact the corona virus? because the 19 special next on d. w. wrestling. the express feelings. i am not very creative yet, but i would love to be considered an art one day looking for new perspectives on

the door handle naturally replaced by the cabinet. doing things differently. come to the place where we reflect on society aren't dealt with the me ah, ah, keeping schools sink from covered 19 vaccines a one defense. but most kids are still waiting for the job. in the meantime, testing is critical. children often don't develop severe cases of the corona buyers, but they can spread it, putting teachers and families at risk engine tests so far made the grade. but is there a better way to stop the spread of the disease and benches all and welcome to the show, some german schools and now using the lollipop test. sounds like fun. not all pupils

so enthusiastic about it, but better than a long swab up the nose. down to provide you already in 30 seconds. go. then it's been loaded. so it's on the 2nd, the children at this elementary school in cologne. that helps with the swab. then go to a lab where they are tested for this new method aims to make testing easier for young children. and it's quite good. it's definitely better and no test test a shouldn't in outcomes pack. i find this quite handy because afterwards i feel safe about whether or not i have corona me over half of the taste is discussing. i always try to think of lollipops and afterwards still doesn't leave my mouth from

the cap takes the cotton swabs to the left logistical challenge because another 500 schools, i'm bringing their tests here in the lab. this was tested using what's known as the pudding method. this means all cotton swabs from one class evaluated together in one test. this is because the only test is expensive. the state pays around 50 euros per medicis. month cents. if you take 20 swap or presenting 20 students and divide them by 50 euro, so then you get a good price. additionally, if you would have to add the costs for the just and the material to use. but i think what that salute the competitive with the repertoire claim if the pool is positive, individual retesting is required. generally,

the left doesn't deliver the results until the next morning. but that would still be early enough to break a potential chain of infection set. and then click father. as a thought, me too much. we are multiplying the genetic material of this virus by effective 30 trillion the doors. this means that you can recognize a virus activity and it is very low fee and not only when someone is highly infectious and already spreading that virus load among animals mentioned sometime here at the elementary school, several infections have been detected and in the stage, using the knowledge test, although covet cases are currently declining in germany. all the kids will continue using the test, at least until the summer holidays. and all life is have to go to los this program to find the foundation for innovative, new diagnostics, a global alliance for the sector. in some places in the world,

kids are being tested before. all adults are fully immunized, but only in some in the meantime a tests and alternative in preventing the spread of cobra. would you say? definitely testing is really one of the most powerful tools we have to control discredit because we can use to test to diagnose new variance and it protects those who are not vaccinated. and you know, to control outbreaks. you need to test to trace. and so isolate and a lot of the kids are not protected by the back scenes. we need these accurate, affordable child friendly testing strategies. and we saw some more effective or efficient ways of doing it there in cheap ways is testing children though any more challenging than testing adults? definitely the challenge is i really many as one of the kids said today the year, the nathan swaps. they are very unpleasant and it's often not easy to get the kids

to, to get tested. so to charlotte are uncomfortable with tracy and runs around and then the sample quality might be below and then the test is, is reliable. so there's a lot of testing approaches really inefficient way to get a lot of kids to the same time. so, so it makes more sense than, than the usual, nasal and throat swabs of the other any other alternatives in development? well, many different ways to to test and we are constantly looking for, for less invasive methods like the nasal swaps not than the ones that go further in . but we also look at new innovations and through funding from the german government, and we looking into work, for instance, face masks where we capture the virus in the mosque. or the groups are looking at attributions, halogens, when you, when you cough into your smartphone, and then you have an interpretation. you can use smart watches to monitor

temperature. so that's another thing in the pipeline. so i work a lot on testing for children into regular basis. and one of the challenges we have here is that rely on the students about the stuff you caught up from the long and it's really difficult for children. so here we actually have to sometimes put a shoe into the nose and into the stomach and it stays there for 3 days. then you wash the stomach for for the bag and get the bacteria. so we've used stall or the proof, the child as intended to sample and it works quite well. so there's some procedures have different challenges and children are always the hardest group and we need we need new recent research and development to make this happen. but i'm sure a lot of people, including kids, would be quite enthusiastic about the multitasking mosque can. can you tell us more about that, how effective that would be? well, it's early days and there's

a lot of research being done at this university of less than you can by other groups, and it's already being installed in humans in and out at the moment. yeah. so we think are covered, we are starting to see the best new results coming up also for, for tv. so it's an opportunity to potentially test from multiple diseases using this approach. and you know, once we out of code, it might be useful for us virus or flu, that kind of thing. but more than whether or not we're talking about little big human beings. the thing about rapid tests is that they're quite likely to deliver those false positives. we've often spoken about on this. so is there any way around that? well, you know, they are, we are looking at trying to find imply affordable tests and it's very important to always have evaluations that compare different tests against each other. so as

to choose the best kind of test in each class, we're working here with, with apartments across the world to, to make these independent evaluations. for instance, the university clinic in heidelberg and shoving to berlin and, you know, some stuff better than others. and well, we basically need to, to try new approaches and yeah, for me that approach really seems to be a great invention with for the situation right now in germany with, with a relatively low incidence. the right thing or whoever, the head of the tuberculosis program at, find the foundation for innovative new diagnostics with some innovations and testing and the importance of testing for children. thank you very much. thank you . you'll turn now his derek williams with your question on vaccines and variance call the current vaccine scooting selected variance to search.

oh, this is another of those internet rumors that gain some traction in the last few weeks because somehow it sounds like it might be kind of plausible, but it actually isn't to explain why i have to go over some of the basics. again, all viruses evolve randomly over time, as they replicate, and a minuscule number of those mutations will prove advantageous. let's say that one of them makes a mutant, a lot more transmissible. and humans, while a potentially dangerous new variance over time, that variance offspring could start to supplant earlier versions of the virus, simply because the variance spreads to more unprotected people in

a population within a short period of time because it's more transmissible. so when you start to look for that very specifically in that population, you see increasing numbers of people getting at a search. but that's an effect that can be traced back to the variance ability to spread faster in people with no immunity. not something that's caused by or driven by vaccines. what vaccines do is turn unprotected people into protected people with immune systems that are quickly able to shut down any subsequent infections with source code to whether that infection would have been with a fast spreading berry and or, or a slower spreading one. in other words, they keep us from turning into, with factories where the pathogen can replicate a lot and the less the virus replicates,

the fewer chances it has to mutate. so in the long run, vaccines will actually help prevent other potentially dangerous new variance from arising by slowing and stopping the spread of sorry, can be 2 and drastically reducing the number of times that it's able to make copies of itself. mm. finally, we asked children age between 6 and 15 in dozens of countries to take part in a project, recording their impressions of the crisis. we leave you with their drawings, that not only convey their sadness and loneliness, but also the admiration they have for doctors and nurses. i

lose the use the

the the the ah, the green you feel worried about the meals of the on the green fence, pasco, we need to change. join me for the size, the green transformations for me to use for the plan. how many portion of lands occurred out in the world climate conference stores?

this is my plan, the way from just one week. how much was can really get we still have time to act. i'm doing all the me this is the news. a shot coming up to date, join those we good facing repression and prosecution. alright. group called china's actions against its weaker muslim minority crimes against humanity. we look at the evidence for that claim to our own 1st person reports. and again this both house village and park is done find a way to survive as the water around it turns toxic the .
