ah, nice that i would never think you could be live so open and so freely constantly to remind myself because i grew up in a completely different way is fraud. it's the jewish years. the 2 part documentary starts july 5th on dw the w as a show coming up today. persecuted and targeted for that phase of amazon has a minority headspace. definitely, it's extra militants for years. but with international troops putting out in a few months, they are left with few options. people who can't afford to live a day or cannot afford to live up based on weight to door.

and in china, smart home devices, find their ready and willing clientele, brushing aside privacy and surveillance concerns. the me i'm british benedict. welcome to d. w. news asia. glad you could join us. i've got a son, has a lot of people live in constant fear of being targeted by militants because of their faith. they had a she, a minority in suddenly majority of governance on and have long been discriminated against. and islamic state affiliate has even declared war on them, and is behind the scenes of deadly bombings against the community. but now with nato troops beginning to pull out from the country, the fear is the situation could get worse for them. the aftermath of a car bombing and couple

a minivan with 3 people inside in a has are a neighborhood of the capital. one of the dead was 23 year old mena. the she was buried along with her mother, killed in the same attack on the dentist and has, are, as have been targeted for decades. they know that here they live in danger. people who can afford to live a day or shift cannot afford to leave. i'm going to come based on weight to last year. gunman attacked a couple maternity hospital also in a has are a neighborhood. when the shooting ended, $24.00 people were dead including newborns and their mother's. so far,

no arrests have been made. and just last may, a bombing at a girls school in cobble killed scores of young has are as distrustful of the authorities. some has are a say they need to provide their own security or cookie russia or when human rights for women's rights already rule of law and all other internationally recognized laws are not achieved with civilization. then we have to turn to god. because the ultimate determiner of peoples will, would be the barrel of a gun and with foreign troops soon to leave. some has are as doubt a peaceful future. younger people are fighting starts. it will be worse than during the civil war. that was an alley to alley ward with some crazy people. as of now, it might be worse. everyone as

a car and 5 or 6 people can start if everyone is armed. liquidity is all about the power vacuum that nato forces leave behind in afghanistan, could claim the has are, as among its 1st victims. and journalists look for you to pulse regularly from granite on and joins been now for more with international troops set to leave in a few months. how concerned is the, how's our community for its safety that community has been, you know, concerned for the safety ground. these last 5 years and they you know, we have to stop premium is in the u. s. drawer, because these are facts have been going on at least 2015, if not 2016. so to say that, you know, the us present in the past made some kind of a difference in a navy more call, you know, in the future. i don't think we can say, you know,

be along because they keep saying that the government needs to do is part and secure. mom keeps happening and it's always, almost always one neighbor gets targeted in the city. oh, they're saying, you know, the security efforts in that neighborhood very, me know, why has the government not stepped up to get to take, given that most of these attacks, at least in gabriella, having happening in one particular neighborhood. i mean, the day, you know, you have to ask the government there's, you know, some condition that we can make, i mean, or one thing. they have trying things in the for instance, during a month out of i'm, i'm are leading to the ration they will, you know, an extra 2 areas will air. a lot of the shield population about a lot of on are and they will allow local courses to arm and to sort of take

a security measuring in their own area at that time of year. but other than that, you know, that's really the major question that people are asking because unfortunately, you know, when you feel like they're in, being an effort made whether or not they're actually seen to the public. when it seemed like is there has to be a reason you're not putting this effort it right. and to people in that area, it's many people to, you know, in the last few weeks and after several different attacks from that neighborhood. you know, they're saying that ok, if you can pick your neighborhood and then it's just as bad as if you have the gun or are you in your hand. and what you said earlier that a lot of the attacks that have been happening have been happening since 2015. but i wonder if that ties into a person of discrimination that the community has been facing for a number of years from before that as well. definitely has been has gone

discrimination if you located during the kingdom time, which a lot of very romantic 5 been recent history. you know, they weren't allowed in the military. they weren't, you know, a lot of the problems with the legend didn't receive education, didn't receive proper services. you know, they were given like menial jobs or sort of blanket service job lately. and so i continued and then you had a rule, you know, they had committed massacres in different areas. and then now you have these courses, i need to be who are very, you know, and they're targeted. and you know, because if you look at the history of their pie, they always either choose the city of all major city. or

actually there's one neighborhood in common, which is really when you go there, you will see. and it's truly congested, the former crowded, you know, literally like one lane on both sides of the street. you know, little off roads, you know, aren't paying some of them are paid, but go on for kilometer that aside. and so, attacking a deliberate. but we'll leave it there for the time being alida, thank you. thank you so much for joining us with that. thank you. the smart home technology, like voice assistance, why fi, blogs, or smart outlets are increasingly making our lives convenient by getting the best concerns or previously you have accompanied this convenience in china. that debate is largely absent with the result of china, smart home devices market, and roughly $26000000000.00 is already more than half the global estimate. and you

don't have to look far to see how integrity these devices are becoming 2 chinese homes. saturday is family time for jordan her and this to kids. his wife works weekends so it's just the 3 of them and the little helper. suddenly i am listening. she please play children. ok. so are you the boys of china? the most popular virtual assistant that was developed by sell me one of china's biggest consumer electronics makers, the hers love into connected technology. almost every device in their home can be controlled either by smartphone. all voice come on in the fridge is intelligent products can be checked in with the photo and the approximate date of expiring. so one week before that

date, it will remind me to use up this product and i can always check on my phone. what's in the fridge and what is your initial change? i wonder alicia, said the girl or the truth, without force modesty, i can say that as far as digital life is concerned, china has overtaken the west technologically or the broad choice of interconnected products for all walks of life. told me if you order the coffee, why a 7 year old rena takes a math class on the ipad. it's common for chinese children to have extra curricular classes. and more and more often these i had online trends that started long before cor 90 law. they follow out in the coffee takes 30 minutes to arrive. after that the family gets ready to go out. the family

isn't much generational household. jordan's parents upstairs, which is rare. china, this is jordan enthusiasm. first my products. usually, you know, sometimes i don't understand how this technology works. my son has to teach me step by step. but i think people need to keep learning. it is good to know this new stuff. and after all, we don't want to get out of touch with the next generation y'all. you, you have to give up the government and the private sector in china have invested heavily in digital technology and artificial intelligence. the heard many enjoy their high tech digital life is little public debate about the risks of new technologies. be the use of data by private companies or data collected from government survey. he him a good chinese. people have a very welcoming attitude to his new technologies. i think in everyday life we

couldn't even do without them anymore. it is the enthusiasm of customers like the powers china digital economic miracle. but at the same time makes it more pervasive. benefit. becker. respondent mathias a building up. that's it for today. of course, more news and updates on our website, the w dot com forward slash a share. believe today with more visuals from china, which over the weekend held the famous dragon boat festival. dragon boat race is a major part of the festival known as doing something that's incentive, waited in the country for generations. we're back tomorrow at the same time until then. the

news the fight against the corolla virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection in developing? what the us, the latest research information and contact the corona virus. the coven, 19 special next on d. w. many pushed us out in the world right now the

climate change. if any, off the story. this is much less the waste from just one week. how much was going to really get we still have to, to go, i'm going to subscribe for more like a chinese rebates to hundreds of thousands of deaths a year. and there's no vaccine just by decades of research. that very research has seen several covered vaccines develops at lightning speed. the corona virus is pretty straightforward. h, i v is a master of disguise and mutates incredibly quickly. but recent breakthroughs

provide hope the welcome to the show and it was all and m r n a technology could be the game changer. i'll talk to a scientist working on the latest developments in a moment. first, this report scientists were able to develop effective vaccines within months of the outbreak of the corona virus pandemic. for 2 reasons. firstly developed countries poured billions into vaccine development in record time. and secondly, scientists were able to build on decades of aids and cancer research. the m r n, a vaccines developed by madonna and by and take a proof of that. the idea behind these genetic vaccines is that people are injected with a blueprint for a particular element of the virus. in the case of the corona virus, this is known as the spike protein. the process means the body starts producing

these proteins itself. the immune system then recognizes that it's coming under attack and starts to fight back. no vaccine has been found against aids which weakens the immune system because h i, viruses mutate so quickly. they also attack the immune system directly, which means the body is unable to fight back. but the doctor and experimental results gained during research into corona virus. vaccines have also given the search for an aids vaccine. i terrific boost scientists have been able to obtain a lot of new data in a short time. the 1st positive results are already being seen. madana is planning to begin to clinical trials of its m r n a h i v vaccines by the end of this year. nigel garrett is head of vaccine, and pathogenesis research center for the aides program of research in south africa . caprice are so many h. i be back in trials have failed miserably. what makes you think that these new

trials stand a better chance of success? good afternoon to you, been and to hear us. thank you so much for inviting me. now, just to say that at the moment there are 2 ongoing h b vaccine trials. interestingly, they're using the, at the, you know, virus vector platform, which is also used in the johnson and johnson corporate vaccine. the m r n. a technology is obviously new and has been applied to corporate vaccines, but not yet to h i v in, in human trials so. so we're really looking forward to that. there are some key differences between h i v, and soft covey too. so patch began to discuss that have been so this is web h i b is benefiting from, from covered would you say? because in so many cases, during this pandemic research into other diseases including

h i v aids has taken quite a hit because the focus on poet yes. so that's right. and some of our research she had caprice, has shown that the number of testing is reduced by about 50 percent h i v testing and also then the treatment initiation. and you know, everyone knows that the treatment is really key for keeping people healthy and, and prevent death. so these are key you and aids targets. so we suspect cannot both the size that there's been a lot of diversion of resources stuffing, and also the oratory resources to corporate testing in many loan in middle income countries. so now we have the covered vaccines because it's a buyers that affects the whole world. and not just a certain minority of the population in so many countries as is the case with h i. v aids. yes. so this was obviously a pandemic that his absolutely everyone across the globe. and it's been a huge,

huge effort globally and, and massive mobilization. so many of the research is also actually help with running these trials because we had the clinical trial platforms all set up across the world really. and so in terms of h, v, there has been funding over the years. it's just a much more difficult virus to find in a chevy vaccine. again, spin corporate with corporate, we were very lucky that we found the right target, which is the spike protein on the call it. and we managed to elicit very strong antibodies against the protein that the virus uses to attach to these yourselves, in the lung in h r b. that is a lot more complicated. we've been comparing it to covert but in comparison to something like the flu. i think people find it interesting. the variability of h i v in an individual exceeds the global sequence variability in the influenza

virus during a whole season. is that what makes h, i v so hard to fight? yes. so you're, i've been, there's a enormous genetic diversity in h i v. so if you look at the sequences that, for example, and code the, you know, the shell of the virus, they can vary by up to maybe about 35 percent between viruses of the same type of h b. and then there's very high what they call mutation rates. so the virus itself and evolves very quickly. and the human being was for example, the call it back scene or other flu viruses. they may have, you know, maybe quite stable like 95 percent of the genome may be very stable and it's just one or 2 mutations that may change. and then, you know, you obviously then also get the problem with the famous barrier. yes. and the vast majority of h, i v infected individuals only produce weak strain specific anti bodies,

but some re, individuals do make potent antibodies against a broad range of mutations. those antibodies. a highly unusual, but scientists do have them in their position, don't they? yeah, so this is actually a very interesting part of a chevy research currently. so caprice has been involved in a lot of broadly, neutralizing antibody research, which are these very strong anti bodies. they have been isolated in some way individuals, as you say, and we've been managing to essentially make them now in the reactors. and we can give them to human beings as what they call passive immunization, which is not a vac seen, but it's giving the antibodies directly for h i v prevention. now the real challenge is now to elicit these antibodies through a vaccine. and i think that's again when baby m r n a vaccines could come in because they have the potential they, they're very easy to manufacture and quite cheap as well. they can be delivered

with these lippitt nanoparticles to the body, and then the body can make so called immune protein. so we call them in units and administering multiple immunizations could then elicit potentially the making of the strong antibodies in a human being in natural infection. it takes about 3 years in an infected person to elicit these very strong antibodies, so to continuously involving antibody race with the virus that's been also quite well described. and not let me just ask you briefly to the question i asked you with the very beginning how, how much hope you have them considering the m r n a technology that's been developed and these other breakers. so i'm extremely excited like many of my colleagues about the technology, and there has been some animal studies, all right, ready that have shown some efficiency of these,

of these m r n a back seems to prevent the, the monkey weather equivalent of h i v. and we are looking forward to some human trials, i think as you or know, maybe some of us as well. and we're interested in the, this technology and taking this forward. so i think we have great hope that this will help us on the path and h i v vaccine soon. excellent, great to hear nigel garrett from caprice are there. it's heavy on the show today. thank you, but let's check in now with terry williams on the topic of coven vaccines stealing the spotlight ball. does it 19 vaccine production compete with the production of other vaccines? oh, or the vaccine manufacturer is such a vitamin in the machinery of global health care. i found it surprisingly difficult to nail down firm numbers when i began researching this topic. hard

information on production figures was pretty scares and, and the supply chains involved are pretty convoluted. however, non coven vaccine manufacture has, i think, certainly taken a hit as resources continue to be thrown as stopping stars covey to even straight forward bottlenecks. like shortfalls. for instance, in medical grade glass biles, they will have serious knock on effects and, and the massive wave of october 19 in india, which is often called the pharmacy of the world. because so many vaccines are made there about will in the very nature of cause production flow down for other vaccine as, as resources are diverted to the production of cobra vaccine. but even this manufacturers are making less vaccine for other diseases. supply side issues are

just one part of a looming problem, which is that in the course of the pandemic demand for those other vaccines also dropped a lot. new data from the cdc, for instance, shows that in the u. s. last year routine childhood vaccinations for things like measles or, or tetanus, fell dramatically as parents skipped appointments. afraid that they or their kids might contract cove at 19, at a doctor's office or at a clinic. and the same thing will have occurred in many other parts of the world. experts more that all of those miss childhood vaccinations will be difficult to make up and say that in the mid term that could lead to spikes in the number of cases for diseases that before the pandemic were kept in check by vaccines.

me as more good news before we go fully vaccinated, people in germany can now get a digital certificate on their cell phones to prevent status health. and again, sponsors goal is for the passport to be available by the end of the month at the latest to everyone who qualifies its intended to allow hold is more freedom in the pandemic. thanks for watching. stay safe and see you again to the me. the news

news the news. ah, it is how it was digitalization is the new magic word. now thanks to high pat museums can open virtually to everyone everywhere. wilkins, if you see him of the future. to morrow today.

90 minutes on d. w. how does the virus spread? why the repairman and when will all this? just 3 of the topics that we covered in a weekly radio. if you would like any more information on the kroner virus or any other science topics, you should really check out our podcast. you can get it wherever you get your podcasts. you can also find them at w dot com, forward slash science. let me young walk in immigrants. they know the hallways will stop them that the road is pollution. their flight could be fatal, but going back is not an option. peace ma, i'm on and are stuck in the spanish border area there. they're waiting for

a chance that will probably never come. shattered dreams starts june 18th on d. w. the news to me, i cannot because you oh, oh small. no, no, no. i

i the news is that we can use life from the nato professor to adopt the trans atlantic alliance to new challenges as leaders gather in brussels for this pivotal summit will examine that plans to tackle the rising influence of china and russia also on the program the man hoping to succeed johnson, a naturalist, chancellor of germany, d. w. he's taken pressing foreign.
