the who's this is the w news coming to life from berlin. a 3rd covered 19 wave sweeps across south africa. from a virus cases start soaring across the country with the back same campaign camp. keep up and mask the t is making it harder for authorities to tackle the numbers on the program. pandemic forced millions of indian migrant workers back to their own

villages. we look at a project that training some of them for a new future. european football championship, denmark celebrate their teams victory over russia, and they're surprised qualification for the knockout stages. ah. hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. africa is firmly in the grip of a 3rd wave of the cobra. 19 pandemic. new infections are increasing by 20 percent. we call weak across the continent. congo, namibia, uganda are especially hard hit with each country seeing its highest rate been factions. since the pandemic began. south africa is also suffering from a rapid rise in case number's

a 3rd wave. there adds to the over $1700000.00 confirm cases, the virus in the country, that's the highest anywhere on the continent. dw adrian increase is there and brings us this report on an alarming situation. the message shouldn't be new to anyone, one and a half years into adobe pandemic wash your hands maintain social distance where mosque. but the disaster management officers in cape town. they have observed that more and more people and not sticking to the rule, i'll plead to them really to consider the loved ones, even though they may be resistant to comply with surgical. but they must think of the family members and been loved. want to know because how they feel they divided the game vertical. but if people don't and potentially losing enough to i'm not wearing math in public as a criminal offense in south africa,

yet many people don't. but mostly versus mosque and everything is for the rich people. you know what i mean? because they have so a lot of money, they don't want to die bulletin eating us. it is tiring. it is tara, especially for those who goes to school like kids. now they must go 2 days a week like it's all, it's frustrating man, it's frustrating for a lot of close to me died because our fall already on the 2nd way. so i'm, what are you doing this way so far? the province of how ting around south africa was economic. have you had this book has been hit particularly hard making up for more than 60 percent of the infection? scientists expect trick lockdown rules soon, but will the 3rd way fits the entire country? harder than the 2nd? no, we don't expect to in the, the areas at listing the cost of provinces of south africa will be worse than the

2nd wave. why that is because the 2nd wave was very severe in the cost though, at regions of south africa. and we also know from the science that we have done that the people that got infected with the variant had released a very high level antibodies. so we expect to see a kind of population immunity around because we'll take it from the disaster management team. encouraging the elderly to sign up for what you want to go through this year. but the problem is they're still not enough to make things available. south africa order to fix teams for 75 percent of its population, but only about 3 percent were an auction later so far, mainly due to global supply shortages. the latest set back about 2000000 johnson and johnson. those that already arrived in the country cannot be used because they were possibly contaminated during the production process. in the u. s. a. at the

current pace. the vaccination campaign here won't make a big difference during this 3rd wife. baltimore. let's speak to young boom. he's an epidemiologist and the africa representative for epicenter the research arm of doctors without borders in yoni cameron, thanks for being with us. professor boom. the vaccine shortage is a problem for the whole african continent. 98 percent of people that remain unvaccinated. the w h o estimates that 225000000 doses are still needed is the continent at risk of being left behind the continent are really being left behind. we are now in the 6 months. think western country has been seen and now i've tried is forgetting to have some you do for some of the country exposed. so it is true that all the country african we don't read the same

challenges, but you, you, as soon as africa really is a challenge. if you don't have the vaccine, why it has been valuable globally. yesterday, the w h o announced plans for setting up a vaccine production hub in south africa. how significant is this? how fast can i help? fight the pandemic on the continent. i think it's all, it's worth beatable to have the facts being produced in the country. but for the 3rd wave, for these carrying our brig going on a bit late. actually what we need now is to have those 15 available even for even those 1 may be late for country life. again, africa media was currently heard because we've already something good for the upcoming ways and also for the other diseases. remember that we are going to produce those by not only, that might also be important for all the other disease for which you 40 by enough.

ok. now we've seen the more transmissible delta variant of the corona virus ravaging through india and now rapidly spreading around the world. how worried are you about the impact it will have on the african continent? i think we are quite concerned because you see the country that are no quite the close for the test which is like, you know, bus you're done. now you also need to that country that how people, lots of problems coming from india, which mean that yeah, more exposed of having done that. there's a bargain when you look at the population because you like the gun, the way we actually put our research spent on fund bike because of the increased number of keys. you will have a large part of the population who are hobby or b c. i potential and diabetes, so we have the main concern of the high number of people my di,

already seeing some of the so called morbidities playing a role there. and you say africa is already been left behind the pandemic of forces by definition, a global problem. if we fail to tackle the pandemic properly in africa, what implications could that have for the rest of the world? you know, we are all inter if we don't stop, there aren't anything after will be rolling some new value in the entire western population. that's already being the pfizer. the more then i and all of our team, i some point last byron with combat and me and spectrum. so we are all together. maybe we are literally relating to the printer. if africa is off of the sun, i mean, there is no one would be able to sleep. nobody's say everyone's sake, professor. yeah, boom,

africa representative of the research branch of doctors without borders speaking to us from young to cameron. thank you so much placing turning to colombia now, which has lost over a 100000 people to the random virus pandemic. and has recorded a new 24 hour record of almost 650 deaths president even do key has pointed his finger squarely a tens of thousands of people who've taken to the streets to protest his government in recent weeks. there he put out a statement saying protests that cost 101-0000 lives nearly 15000000 jobs delivered, and yet still not enough to slow down this new wave of corona, virus infections in columbia. the nation ranks 10 in the world until infection, and then fatalities. people are worried that

he's them and then we'll just go look in the more book. sadly, we have read 100000. the truth is that the health system is that a breaking point? it was all i mean can we say to those of us who have lost loved one and we know how the situation is. the government is returning everything back to normal, but the numbers are too high and i do not agree with this. the more i am very sad that we reach that figure in one way or another. people are not fully aware of. it's because there's so much responsibility in the street or not. and it's partly government negligence. part of the governments is the blameless elsewhere the health ministry put out a statement describing recent protests where thousands of people took to the streets against taxes and corruption. as a super spreading events in crowds,

the main breeding ground for this disease to spread exponentially. me makes element sitting. if we didn't have large crowds in the last 6 to 7 weeks, more than 10000 deaths could have been prevented in your room as your own as and as would be my phrases as your miners. but at the same time, restrictions to the spread of virus were lifted and at least 2 of the 4 most contagious corona virus variance arrived in columbia. now the intensive care units of hospitals are filling up and health workers, fear essential supplies may run out. so you look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. unesco says, australia is great, barrier reef should be added to a list of endangered world heritage sites. events cultural body blamed the decline in coral at the reef on climate change change and urged australia to take

accelerated action on global warming. yes, trillion government said it would strongly oppose the plan. european union and other western states approved new sanctions against bell rues targeting more than 80 individuals and organizations with asset praises and travel bands. arisen opposition leaders and i take enough sky out hailed the new sanctions as a powerful signal to the regime president, alexander lucas. shank. now when the 1st covert 19 wave hit, india, millions of migrant workers lost their jobs. strict locked downs meant their source of income in the cities was cut off overnight, forcing many to move back to their villages. nearly a year on many are still there. but for rural communities, it's been a blessing in disguise with the returning migrant workers breathing new life into their economies. the pandemic cost him his job. ken

around garcia was working far from home. when the lockdown came. you're talking 4 months to get back to his village in rochester state. there he had family, but no paid work. then he heard of training courses for migrant labor is in the nearby city will die poor. now he's learned to operate a sewing machine lockdown. have ela put out for the lockdown. i worked as a stonemason with granite in the city of threat. i was there from 2012 to lockdown, announcement came so suddenly everything was shut down. and prime minister, moody said the government would take care of us, but nothing happened. we weren't even allowed out on the street. the police would beat us with their batons as soon as we left the house. rather than the market for a 1000 rupees or live in euro's, the stiff academy provides a one month training course including accommodation and meals as well as text all work. the school offers a wide range of courses from addressing to electrical installation as well as

repairs to mobile phones and cars. school director believes the return of migrant workers is good for the local economy level, which i don't think they will offer over today because of the pen gaming. we've trained around a 1000 young people. many of them a found work locally, are open businesses. it's creating jobs because employers and business owners are returning to the villages and it will be an order will be gone with a specific head to me. also partners with local enterprises. he provide on the job training like here on this construction site and the governor. the trainees are in a minimum wage and can be fully qualified. and 12 months. got down, got out of i worked in a kitchen and gall gerard and then $5000.00 rupees or 55 years a month. i had to work non stop even night. i came home just before the lockdown

and plan to stay here. the work is better and so the wages i'm home in the mornings and evenings so i can help out with the housework songs. and we're going to say that the teacher ram is happy to be back on the land. despite the hardships he and his wife leave in a remote village which they can only reach on foot. god had birth is at certain length. when let you know the cities are okay, but the loud and dirty. i'd much rather live in the village. here, mega 10 around garcia's months of training is coming to an end. he's now contacting local taylors who might offer him a job. he's determined to stay close to his family and not return to serrato or any other large city to see work. oh, man went far away again. i couldn't look after my children, so i'd rather look for work close to my village. got nick.

and after a visit to a local shop, he's hope so high. the owner wanted proof of his sewing skills and things to his training. kinda rum garcia was able to show him once his courses over he's been promised. there'll be a job waiting for him of more now i'm joined by d. w correspondent, namisha jones wall in delhi. the mission, not all migrant workers displaced by the pandemic, have access to vocational training. tell us more about the scale of this displacement and how the pandemic has affected migrant workers in general in india . anything back to migrant across the country have been immense from daddy, a loan estimates from 800000 mike and next during the 2nd be during those you. but many of you told us that even back all the trouble to find

work would would talk to the truck and hes scared or is not as good as it did in the city. he would go to the back, the going to go, people extended week of last week we received these target hunger and there was a problem with the government off division actually knock off fuel that gradually being lifted, but even went forward given the prediction of a type be that of the high security, the many up to being on the been good during the 4th. we've sort of where things stand now, with the pandemic in india, are infections still rising. our hospital is able to cope but infections are definitely coming down to be have dipped below 50000 that bill of any high number, but given the comparison to the cost 400000 teen autumn, the next to the judge pick declining. however, some of your might think that that would not but being that they could have been

under during the beach. and once again, the lifting government. empathic, the thing that you do not lack becomes knocked about already that a lot of markets. so just so there are considerable regional differences understand what about backs nations, how is the back seen rollout coming along across india? there is some one that you will call them back seen going out that he opened up for everybody about eating and me, but the deep blue supply will find you like items moving regarding potentially revise or or the the once again and get the yeah, actually what we can do is just trying to send you that is that the country been to be diminished for me. sure. thank you very much for your update is always that was the w namisha as well in delhi. here in germany,

there's currently no official recommendation to vaccinate pregnant women against covert 19. but one state has pushed ahead on its own. now many women unwilling to keep waiting for a nationwide recommendation or travelling there to get their shot and demand as quickly outpacing supply. so if you hung up the info mit by, 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 yeah. i heard that it's 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 my cell for my child in danger. michigan, germany has yet to issue a nationwide recommendation on inoculating pregnant women. but last month, the vaccination commission and the eastern stay of sex and he did with m 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 amman children don't have a higher rate than without the vaccination. but we can also see that pregnant women will carve 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 in from principal in principal were 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 ryan with failure on many people are no longer prepared to wait for a recommendation from germany's national vaccine commission. nadine visa has traveled from saxon these neighboring states of tunzia. and 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 husband at the moment is the location arrival of doses. chimney's twin conservative parties have formerly announced their program for the countries general elections in september. after 16 years and power transfer, medical is stepping down and the leader of her c d. u party. i mean law should, is hoping to replace or he and mark is sort of the bavarian csu party presented their manifesto in berlin. germany, c, d, u and csu, they just put on a show of unity for the media. the fight over who would stand this chance to the candidates appears forgotten, especially with the conservatives performing wells in recent polls. as would be the office for the next situation is once again open. we have

a slight lead this issue 1st the to the strength of our chancellor candidate ahmed lush, it from 2nd to our unity in terms of substance. and i was lucky and 30, due to mistakes made by the green leather green in the conservatives are pledging to deliver a program of modernization to tackle many of the challenges germany faces. first and foremost, climate change on owns are under boat is we are offering the climate protection shorts, economics trans, your stacker under carrying society. we will make german, the climate neutral, industrial country industry land with good, good answer your job. that's not everyone's taking his words at face value, the conservatives who are also promising not to raise taxes. so it's unclear how the proposals will be financed. the conservative say they'll check the books after the election and say they don't trust the figures provided by the current finance minister, social democrat, love, shoulds, lasha,

distanced himself from the far right, advocating for diversity and against the exclusion and populism in germany and in europe. when old austin put it is if you are wants to be a natural player in foreign policy, it must cooperate more closely and be more decisive. that would be 3. now off the china, subordinates everything to one goal to become the most important nation in the world. to be president president, she considers our democracies to slow to compete with china conclude we couldn't, we, europeans have to show commitment. liberal and free societies are also capable of high performance and then in the lago who lies to face suicide after the bruising differences between the conservatives in recent months, the message was clear, one of unity of purpose as the campaign season kicks off in earnest. the

3rd place teams. while russia crush out of the tournament after denmark's when against russia, their coach casper month played tribute to his team. i think the only way i i can tell it is that we a unit it's, it's not one person, it's not me on anything else. it's. it's, it's a unit we, we are packing each other up and that is the best within mark. i think it's the best values we can. we can show the world that a we stand united we, we, we, we are helping and shudder to another kind of football in the united states. carl, now, sir, the defender with the las vegas raiders has become the 1st active player in the national football league to come out as gay. now, it was originally drafted by the cleveland browns. in the 3rd round of the 2016 draft, he signed with the raiders ahead of the 2020 season and says he hopes his decision
