where we're focused and protecting our 1st responders who are on the scene. but it's not just the rescue teams that are at the scene. non stop residence and neighbors were there throughout the night to support each other, waiting to hear from loved ones. i tried to contact them, but nobody, nobody answered. i tried to contact them also on what stopped nobody able to get any answers. so hopefully they are okay in the area where the collapsed building is located. many residents have an international background and relatives abroad were working with constituents to help get visas process quickly. so we can get their family members over here to be able to make sure that they can be standing by to get the critical news. they're all with florida declared, the state of emergency release, additional funds and personnel, federal assistance is on the way as well. all we can do is try to help people that

are in that situation. obviously get us answers as well for the future. so something like this never happens again, because it's not just the search for survivors that keeps this community on tenterhooks. they want answers about how this could happen. we've asked that question on to veronica rubio. she's a journalist and so now from miami, veronica, do you have any new details how this could happen? the collapse of building? hi, thank you for having me. so what we don't have, it will take engineers yesterday. they were predicting at least a week, but this is certainly going to take longer to understand what's happening. but there is some understanding or you would please some of the questions that are arising in what kind of concrete, what you, because of the proximity of the building to the beach. and that means that the concrete have interaction would fall with salt water. you know, we get really heavy hurricane here. and so there's going to be a lot of inspection into how the building was built and then how the environmental

factors contributed to the that took place yesterday. we'll come back to that in a moment. but what's, can you tell us about the rescue operations? is there still hope that someone survived? whereas hearing that they are conscious, they have some specialized microphones and, and whenever they hear some sound that they're, you know, priority things that people are hard. but i really don't have information about how hopeful you know, they try to limit how much they're saying. i don't know if it's so that the family and friends of people who are missing maybe just get whatever limited information that the media have. what have while they're doing there and they're inspector. i went to work. so i, you know, the 4th officials are trying to be hopeful before i speak to are hoping that

they're going to find the missing people. but the number of missing people has been please, overnight. so it's hard to say how this is finished for now. and will really surprises me, is the fact that normally we hear these kinds of stories of collapsing building that usually come from countries with a developing economies and not highly industrialized western countries like the u. s. do you think that this could have to do with i don't know, show the maintenance of any kind of disruption to the building that wasn't taken care of. yes, and this building and found that it's located in their side is part. a of the program that requires building to go through a 40 year certification process that includes looking at the architecture plan and any maintenance that we've done over that time. and then if we knew every year, and apparently the building inspection process was

not done by the point. and so i think there's a lot of frustration because perhaps they could have identified some major flaws in their construction before they. this is an area that yesterday i haven't spoken to an elected official, my rep also commissioner for position. and he was saying that this is a call to soft the over development. and if it's a very, it's a beautiful small town close to the beach or what literally on the beach, and it's very attractive for developers and they're trying to see that it's, it's, it's the focus, i think so much and bill bill bill getting more people here and not the concerns on the environmental factors and all of the instructional concerns. so it's certainly there they're going to find. certainly they will find problems and in

construction and maintenance over the furniture in miami, thank you very much for this backgrounds and update. thank you for having 12 german troops have been wounded in a car bomb attack in malia. this was the most serious attack on the bonus there. since the stuff of german engagement in the west african country in 20133 of the soldiers were seriously injured in the black north of the city of gout, where they are stationed at camp castle. as part of the united nations peacekeeping mission. earlier different german defense minister on a great come coven, bella, provided this update. i funded the attack, took place at 8 28 am central european time, and it occurred 180 kilometers. no face to go and involve 12 german soldiers and one other un. so jo, from the minute my mission mean this is

a soldiers were wounded. 3 of them seriously. i should be. why should be the 2 of the seriously wounded or unstable conditions that are still being operated on at the moment? our thoughts go out to him. a tense european union summit has wrapped up in brussels of the 2 days of heated discussions. leaders from the member states discuss various matters, including economic recovery after the pandemic. but the meeting was overshadowed by this agreement on russia and hungary. most member states expressed strong opposition to new law as pop and hungry that impact the l. g b t q. community. meanwhile, a joint french and german plan to hold meetings with russian president vladimir putin was shot down german chancellor la mac, that she's disappointed that this proposal failed death getting up from there, he has taken a very different view of what's being proposed. it doesn't matter whether it's

speaking with the russian president or the us president speaking with him. he didn't offer the russians any gifts. if i may put it like that, i'm saddened by that because it shows that we don't have the trust amongst ourselves. that needed to know that we do have to self confidence required to conduct such tool. on all class, we need to work on that the, on this and the other handle america there for more on this. let's bring in, correspondent, in brussels and senior summit. watch barbara, barbara, and i'm usually here now says that from america does the, you need more self confidence. you think? especially in dealing with russia. question off, off self concept confidence. it's not quite clear whether that was the problem. and the problem here was that france and germany sorta sprung without prior announcement. this idea of having high level that is on

a leaders level. cummins was running a huge and upon the other participants. and that is something they don't take kindly to. this is generally not done. those sorts of initiatives are prepared carefully and you will get on the form beforehand and, and talk to your colleagues in the other european capitals. so all of a sudden disappeared and everybody's sort of slammed the doors and said, no, we don't want this. there are 2 camps, of course, italy, for instance, support, france and germany in this. as does austria, this kim says we have to be independent of what the united states, even if we are their friends again of what the united states negotiate. on our behalf, we have to talk to put in ourselves. and for that we have to get together as leaders and sit down with them and tell them what we think. now if you look at the some conclusions, the wording is the most stringent and most i see that we have seen ever towards the

russia. there is talk about the illegal disruptive, malign activities of polluting, couldn't get any sharper, but other countries, particularly in eastern europe, think it's the wrong signal to moscow. it would reward tutoring for that behavior. and they strict, they generally and strictly said, no, we're not, we're not on with this initiative. we won't do it. it will also focus on the use post pandemic economic recovery. did they reach any agreement that yeah, they are quite united on that. that was one of the easy and good points that when the well and quickly the economic data in europe looking relatively good to the recovery in most european countries is under way after the end. we know that you condition just to do the tour through the capitals about the plans for the money to be spend out of the 700000000000 recovery fund. and so there will be good if you to

be distributed everywhere. so general happiness on that front, there's also the big risk over controversial as you be low and hungry. it does prime and so and so far to suggest hungry leave the union. where does this leave you as leaders, head home? i mean, that was the, the worst sort of dest up we have ever experienced at summit. i mean, voices have been raised. i mean, that's what we hear afterwards. we're not there. of course, p d, that voices had been raised and they all laid into victor arbor. and he had just 2 friends toland and slovenia in this big is some of the room and everybody was really united on this is going to far, is step to fall. we need to draw a red line towards what victor urban does and all the anger and fury that was expressed, of course, was also sort of pent up anger about having watch the, the development in hungary for years. the development towards a liberal so called liberal democracy that they haven't stood up against earlier.

barbara, visual and brussels thank in tennis, reigning wimbleton, samson sim on how that as announced that injury will prevent her from defending her crown. at this year's tournament, olive says a cup problem will stop from taking part in the grand slam event, which gets on the way on monday. the romanian is the 2nd big name to pull out of the women's draw while number to know me. a soccer also withdrew for personal now, more than $100000.00 people took to the streets of television on friday to celebrate . despite a recent increase in corona virus cases in israel and the apparent forcing of the attack on the parade shortly. because before it got on the way, it was the city's 1st pride events since the stop the cobra pandemic, and revel as far as colorful and caffrey as usual. ah, it's really a well known hobble gay culture has hosted the biggest parade,

the middle east in recent years, but it has to be cancelled last year because of cobra. 1900 watching d. w. a news cobra. 900 specialists up next, and i'll have an update on a breaking news story and nice attack and vote for you at the top of the others in berlin. watch the news. the fight against the corona virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection in developing? what does the latest research thing information and contact the corona virus because the 19 special next on dw, sometimes a seed is you need to allow the big ideas to grow. we're bringing environmental conservation to life with learning,

like global ideas. we will show you how climate change ended or mental conservation is taking shape around the world and how we can make a difference. knowledge grows through sharing, download it now for free. for russia's 3rd wave is sweeping across africa. more than a dozen nations are reporting the worst levels of infections. there are 25000 new cases a day on average. now, 3 times more than in may. in uganda, hospitals are already reaching capacity, and oxygen is in short supply amongst required to be more me for, for the fish is as the for you to come. we look to be able to make the situation is

becoming dire in many regions. are we seeing a repeat of the indian tragedy in africa? welcome to our kirby night in special. i'm going to jones ville in. have you with us? now the world tell us organizations this, across the african continent, the number of cases and death increased by almost 40 percent in the past week. and the 3rd wave hasn't even picked yet. vaccines as we just heard, are in short supply, as is people's patients with the uncomfortable pandemic measures. the methods shouldn't be new to anyone, one into half years into adobe pandemic wash your hands maintain social distance where mosque. but the disaster management offices in cape town have observed that more and more people and not sticking to the rule. i'll lead to them

really to consider. they did up the ones, even though they may be resistant to, to comply, so doable. but they must think of the family members, they want to know because how they feel it's divided. they don't go to comply with the people i don't. and potentially losing a loved one, not wearing math in public as a criminal offense in south africa. yet many people don't, but mostly versus last year everything is for each people, you know what i mean, because they have so a lot of money, they don't want to die. bullet eating, this is pairing. 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 people who close to me died because i already joined the 2nd week. so i'm, what are they doing this way so far?

the province of how ting around south africa, economic kept your hand book has been hits particularly hard making up for more than 60 percent. you infection? scientists expect strict lockdown rule soon, but will the 3rd way fits the entire country harder than the 2nd? you know, we don't expect in the, on the areas at listing the cost of provinces of south africa to be worse than the 2nd wave. why that is because the 2nd wave was very severe in the coastal regions of south africa. and we also know from the science that we haven't 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 the calls that i can take on the management team is encouraging the elderly to sign up what you recall. and for more on the situation in africa,

we talked to yap boom in cameroon. he's professor of microbiology and the africa representative for doctors without board specialized in public health. my colleague terry martin had a chance to talk to him preventable. the backseat shortage is a problem for the whole african continent. 98 percent of people that remain unvaccinated. the w h, i 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, we seen the scene and now i've tried it for getting to have some you do for some of the countries that are the most exposed. so it is true that all the turn 3 african stuff, you 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. a 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 can purpose all each or you may be able to have the facts can be produced in defense. but for these 3rd wave, for these carrying are going on a bit late. actually what we need now is to have those 15 available, even, even those 1 may be late for country life. again, africa was eating the herd because we've already something good for the upcoming ways. and also for the other disease. remember that we are going to produce those by not, but my also be important for all the disease for which you 40 by africa. 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, uganda, you know, media country that people, lots of problems coming from, which mean that's more exposed of having that's the bargain. when you look at the population, because you like the gun, the way we actually put our research spent on fund by 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 may concern of the high number of people my di, any already seen, some of the so called morbidity is 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 depends. if we don't stop the analysis, africa will be rolling some new value in the entire western prediction that's already seen the pfizer, the more then i and all of those byron with combat and let me get back seen. so we are all together. maybe we look at relating to africa off of the trying to me, there is no one would be able to grade. nobody's say everyone say professor yup, boom, africa representative of the research branch of doctors without borders speaking to us from young cameron. thank you so much. again, again,

the answer to this pandemic is vaccination. but there are exceptions, perhaps time for your questions. over to derek. all my government says people who had the disease should get just one. do some faxing, because more would be dangerous. it's not true. the short answer is no, many, many people who've recovered from covered 19 has since received a double dose of vaccines because the recommendation of most health care authorities in most countries is that 2 doses is still as far as we know. the best way to ensure optimal protection and all of those people are fine. so we know it isn't dangerous to get the fall to dose regimen after recovering from the disease. but there are a few studies that highlight the question of whether getting that 2nd shot for those people makes sense. one in particular,

that was published in the journal nature. back in april. it's received a lot of attention. the u. s. researchers involved discovered that antibody response in people who recovered from the disease that it's sword after they've got the 1st shot of a messenger r n a vaccine type that only seen after after 2 shots in someone who's never been infected. so although it won't hurt you to get a 2nd dose of vaccine after recovering from cobra, 19 many experts now think that it also won't have really a dramatic impact on how well you're protected. at some point, a kind of law of diminishing returns kicks where we're giving someone who recovered more vaccine likely won't really improve their immune response much anymore because their body is already locked and loaded to fight off, sorry,

covey to. that's prompted. for example, the french authorities to recommend that people who've had cobra 19 already only get one shot because that's all the experts there think is needed for good protection. that advice might change in the future, particularly in countries where vaccines are currently scarce. holding off on the 2nd shot in people who have the disease, could allow authorities to spread the limited vaccines. they have a lot further in tag williams will be back again next week. no doubt about that. that's all from this koby. 19 special thanks for watching the news . ah lose
