ensure that the rights of all your citizens are guaranteed who ever you are and where ever you will live to refer on the line is supported by 13 e countries that express deep concern about the law including germany f. my. first of all, i think this is wrong and also not compatible with my idea of politics. if you allow same sex partnerships but restrict education about an elsewhere. and that also has to do with freedom of education and the like. so for me, that is something i reject politically is political up in, but that doesn't help intersected and hungry because the commission can only take legal action once the law is in force. the procedure can then go all the way to the european court of justice, which takes time. opens government insisted it did not want to hon, homosexual to tool and condemned from the lions announcement as a disgrace. sent for the time being actually comes in the form of rainbow flags,

munich, and statements from a well known german football player, dressed in colorful clothes and didn't tile him. sim spots is i guess my goal should be that it's a completely normal thing in our world. and sports and that it's no longer a big issue that comes from guns into magic on. so i think small gestures and signals are step in the right direction. climate sizing, the really strong among should need to go. storms and even the german football association is now on board. and it's distributing $10000.00 rainbow flags before the start of the game in munich. let's get more on the game now from munich, jonathan harding, welcome jonathan. after all the controversy ahead of the game, what is the mood like outside the stadium? it's pretty good. i mean, i think there's rain incoming sony which may damp the moods,

but ironically it may also bring a rainbow which would be fantastic for some i think on the whole though, the mood is fairly subdued. maybe perhaps some are expecting more of a party atmosphere, but the ironic moment of the evening is in finding the lighting and rainbow colors of the stadium behind me is that you a for a cop, created some sort of bras, roots education or sign of support for the down the way because just outside the underground stuff here in munich by the stadium. by the serina, there are lots of people hunting out rainbow colored flags, handing out opportunities to learning, showing signs of support for the gbc to plus community. so in a way, perhaps the non lighting of the stadium has spots a bit more of a, a great to show of support. but the mood here so far as is mostly optimistic about the game, but also somewhat celebrated. talk about the game then, how a germany looking going in looking pretty banged up. if we're honest, i mean thomas miller is the big question mark, he hasn't trained into straight day. so there's obviously question marks around him

. he doesn't look like he'll be starting. not so much as we just heard, who was speaking of the press conference recently is also struggling with some injuries, but probably going to stop. so there may be some new face to starting for germany tonight, but the expectation is still the same. and obviously if they do win the game and results go that way elsewhere, then they can talk the group and that would be an ideal way to finish the nice gemini, the favorites on paper. what do they have to watch out for in this 100 side? well i think they've got to make sure that their own game plan is on point because against portugal we saw how the 343 system can work in their favor. they can exploit the space, but they've got to make sure that they don't get cool out of the back. i get hungry tonight, but that's the biggest task is breaking down aside. there's going to largely be way more defensive than portugal worse. so they're going to need to be more creative and if they can do that, and perhaps there will be celebrates re feelings for everybody at the end of the elephant hiding in munich. thank you here. invalid international late is have

been the meeting for a new push to try to secure a lasting peace deal and libya. the north african countries being unstable since 2011, when a nato backed uprising couple of long time dictator mama, gadhafi, germany and the united states use the meeting to highlight the importance of nationwide elections plan for december. the german foreign minister said there had been some progress on the withdrawal of foreign fighters speaking after the talks. libby, as foreign minister said her country's people wanted tangible results. the people of my country pins so much hope and the 2nd conference of the berlin process. my people are looking forward to seeing more concrete measures which have a positive impact and the ground. it's time for actions because my people have heard enough. thank you so much scribble from the w, said chief international exit richard walker, who was that welcome. richard. we just heard the libyan foreign minister sounding,

robbing patient. yes. so i mean, she was really urging everyone present in the assembled international community to, to get moving and really kind of implement the promises that they've been making. and it was hard to come away from that press conference. i have a little bit of a feeling that the result kind of came across as a little bit thing. now basically, there are 2 kind of really big issues that the conference with dealing with today. one of them is making sure from the election this plan for later this year actually happens. now there's an election slated for the 24th of december that libby is national day. and there are concerns that they might be back sliding back to some of the factions in the country. we've been riven by civil war for so long. may see advantage in trying to scope of that election date and then doubling those concerns . the fact that there's not yet a legal basis for that election. so that was one big issue. no major kind of new announcements on that. and on this other question of foreign fighters in the country,

also nothing really new on that. there are 20000 or so foreign troops in libya. some of them regular forces, a lot of the must read from different pay masters and you have russia, turkey, the u. e and other countries in the mix too. and although the communicate the statement at the end of the conference did talk about the need to pull them out without delay, there was absolutely no detail about how that's going to happen. and is even though to the turkey had an objection in that many of its forces there at least partly officially in the country. so that leaves the clear impression this awful lot still to do. ok. so what happens now? well, that may also rather bleak as if there was no progress but this, the german host always kind of emphasize about this. and this is the 2nd of these conferences. don't necessarily judge it by what happens on the day. this is about creating a longer term diplomatic structure for this process of libya gradually trying to stabilize this country after such

a long period of conflict. and when you bring the national community together with the libyan provisional government, these commitments are made in public even if they have repeated commitments that does actually matter the we should judge the success of the process on the, on the, on a longer term thing. do those elections go ahead, do those foreign forces ultimately come out of the country? so this is something we'll need to keep an eye on them of said ok. richard walker, chief international edison. thank i think it look at some sort is making news around the world. now relatives have been waiting for information about loved ones following unexploded and in ethiopia. contact to live region. where this is saying a dozens of people were killed or wounded on tuesday. and an ass strike on a market in the town to go go. health work because accuse soldiers are blocking medical teams from reaching the same court and i because the sentence form of prime minister and ex rebel lee that we saw on to life imprisonment in absentia. so as an

83 patient hong kong and the chinese through the now is closure. what mean a huge loss of federal journalists and also of a free platform for the opposition opinions or critics. the this is one of the most serious erosion of hong kong, because that is denied by hong kong authorities. and apple they is shutting down is a website. and also these apps like by midnight in hong kong, and it is very significant and also very sentimental. they are for all appetite, each one and also are the members of the press and hold cone. and why is the paper closing favor? was it just the rest of apple employees? last week to l. a. 5, the rest of the executives of apple, they were prosecuted for collusion, the foreign forces and international security. all that was the 1st targeting me that coverage under the new suite paying law. and additional little thought is have

also frozen $800000000.00 hong kong dollars assets. all 3 companies linked to apple . and that made apple, they almost impossible to do with any kind of banking operation and even payroll off his employee. so that's why the board decided to shut down in his paper by this week. but today, an additional arrest on a columnist for dady under the national security. so just by fast in the pace of itself. and that's why you pump the decision of the both of the next sister told the parent company, apple that a through the side to close the newspaper earlier than expected to phoebe comb in hong kong. thank you. and finally the zoo and the german city of cologne. has welcomed a pair of endangered leemis fees and used types of leaders usually found the parts of madagascar for the threatened by hunting,

we'll show you how climate change and environmental conservation is taking shape around the world and how we can all make a difference. knowledge grows through sharing, download it now for, for me, a tragedy is unfolding enough ganeth down with the probate 19 is running rampant in the capital capital across the land security forces losing the battle with italy bad. ah, hospitals are full in us and nato troops are leaving oxygen supplies are running out the what happens

when covey 19 attacks. a country war what come to koby $900.00 spatial i want to johnson berlin. thanks for joining us. the start of the pandemic. we often heard that the corona virus is some grade level because it attacks rich and poor alike. but there's a difference. a lot comes down to a countries health care system, or the lack of it. this hospital in kabul has had to close its doors. no more admissions, it's full as are the cities other main hospitals, cov, in 1900 patients line, the rooms struggling to breed, kept alive with oxygen. that's in limited supply. a moment jim, the number of patients is high about 40 to 50 patients who need to be admitted come here every day. but unfortunately, there is no more room for them for the with hospitals full, a persistent shortfall of oxygen, and

a general failure to adopt precautions like masks, and social distancing. afghanistan has entered its worst period yet. of the panoramic. for those turned away by doctors, it's a daunting task to get treatment. there's desperate demand for oxygen. families of the sick gather outside production plants, hoping to get their cylinders refilled before it's too late. by monday that my father is sick and may only have oxygen for another hour or 2. i brought a small cylinder here to fill up with oxygen for him. but we have a problem here too, because some cars bring 40 to 50 cylinders and those are filled up very quickly and we won't get our turn to no longer put a mac. and i didn't know about the oxygen crisis and afghan. stan mimics the shortages that nearby india faced weeks ago. and some would argue was foreseeable.

the acting minister of public health was summoned by lawmakers for an explanation on monday. the appeal is out for international aid. but supplies are still low. those who want oxygen now have to pay dearly not that doesn't make and i came here to fill my cylinder with oxygen because there's no more room for patients in hospitals. i bought the cylinder at a very high price, and it's very difficult because we make an appointment here at 10 o'clock at night . but it's not our turn until 10 o'clock the next day. rights groups have urged the government to procure more oxygen and vaccines. so far, only 2 percent of the population has received jobs. and years of war have already weakened the health care system. that's now one of the world's most unprepared for the pandemic of his energy. and for more i'm joined by la roja, and he's a researcher and lecturer at the midst and faculty in of cognitive university in

trouble. it also had of quality assurance. so very good to have you with us. and we've just seen this report, campbell's health care system overwhelmed by the spread, the virus, what's causing this crisis wife campbell, not better prepared we are, we are guarding grade 19 or infection as, as reading rapidly. and the digital writing every day. the percentage is all especially in the hospitals are not admitted new visions and lack of medical personnel and oxygen shortage

to increase and you cannot find oxygen. and the other thing is that the forward to the end of fighting is either big problem and i've run a floor and they cannot afford to go to find it viable for the patients. and any money, any of the party is going on. so they are not health percentages for the people for the fish. and so the problem all of that, there are a lot of different factors you play, but the african government claims that it's spent $200000000.00 from watching the pandemic. where did all that money? in top, the government claims that the $200000000.00 bank for fighting greed 19. but to my point of view, we do not have. we don't see the effectiveness of money,

which is the spend that people are testing a lot of problem shortages. although and especially in walk submission is not going and not, and i've walked in irrelevant for people and i think the reports of kind of descending of this money. so these are the things that we don't to see. i think it has not been effectively right. maybe one good thing if you can see anything good in all this kind of stuff. is there a young countries from 70 percent of the population there on the 30? is that a good or a bad thing when it comes to fighting the pandemic? i think it is a r r i wrote some more, most of the population is young, but i think this is

infecting both the old people, but did maybe do more than young people. but is everybody sticking to measures? how do people protect themselves? are they all wearing mosques? i know that the ministry of health has issued certain protocol people following that. another another big problem and grab a son is that the people following that was done that i'm getting off the call a social defenses around. i'm not going to go out to out of and maybe down and down down following social distances. so either cause of this is treating rapid 19 and this is

the, this problem is finding, di, know the protocol. why not? the, the maybe monday, the, some people are not believing in grade 9 and something about maybe did before to buy it off. so i mean, i had a lot of factors and they're going to also not forcing them from the get it. i find which for the depot do to follow the search of the sense that i own in a government asking the people to do follow the protocol. i draw whole roy and they have from i counted university in cobble. thank you so much for your time . thank you. thank you very much. thank you very much. what time

now for more of your questions and as always, very williams is here to answer them. paul, what are the consequences of not receiving the 2nd due to the vaccine on schedule, or not a told different vaccines work in different ways. so there isn't really a kind of one size fits all response to this question, but one thing is really clear. that's that, it's definitely a bad idea to skip the 2nd shot of a 2 dos regimen completely. experts say that's because it plays an essential role in hyping up your immune system to deal with a possible future exposure. the 2nd dose encourages your body to generate particular cells that are able to to remember source code to even though you might never have had at the 1st dose. initiates the response and sets the immune system

on high alert. while the 2nd helps cement the memory of the pathogen providing more powerful protection that's, that's also likely to be a lot more long term. so although the 1st dose provides some protection, it's really important to follow up with the 2nd one because until you get it, you'll be a lot more vulnerable. the question of whether or not you can delay a 2nd dose is a little more tangled and our understanding of what doing that means is still evolving. the rollout in britain has contributed a lot to what we do know since it's focused or early on getting as many people as possible. their 1st shots, which meant delaying 2nd doses from the recommended 3 to 4 week interval to do up to 12 weeks. and people who received the astrazeneca vaccine there, the longer interval actually improved immune response. and

a recent study still under review, implies that it might do so and those fascinated with pfizer by on tech, as well, or, or at least and the elderly. the researchers found that in older people waiting 12 weeks between pfizer, by on tech shots instead of 3 to 4 weeks, caused a more powerful antibody response. in general though, authority say people need to still be getting 2nd doses after the recommended interval, simply because that's where we have the most robust data. the data from trials me. just a reminder how fragile a controlled pandemic situation can be used. elan has paused its travel bubble with australia, but after a traveler from sidney, this is was infected with crow,

with 19 sydney is struggling with a spike in case numbers as local authorities announced a ban on people leaving the city for non essential reasons. and that's all from me and the team of cove it $900.00 special. thanks for watching the news. news. the news? the news
