to remind myself, i grew up in a completely different way. it's broad, it's the station. jewish years, the 2 part documentary starts july 5th on dw. ah. the vaccine by any other name might still work as well, but confusion around who is allowed to go where with what fascination transcends borders. also on to show you space phrases on the look at how smaller and cheaper satellites are making their mark on the final frontier. this is the w, there's this i'm janelle de la on welcome. who gets a travel where depends among other things on what kind of vaccine you have and

whether it's approved where you're going. that leaves the money, wishing to travel to europe with a problem. let's back up a bit. the european union is allowing people to travel freely within the block starting july 1st, as long as they have had one of for vaccines approved here. those are the by intact pfizer vaccine, which goes by the official name commer, not t more during a spike, fax, jane j. z anson, covert 19 vaccine, named after j and jay's european subsidiary, and as present because vax every now india serum institute, the world's largest vaccine maker, is producing astrazeneca vaccine. but it's shot goes by a different name there. covey shield, though covey shield is a shunt, essentially the same as the astrazeneca job being used in europe. the e u has an approved it, and it's not currently accepting the indian shot as a valid vaccination for travel. that's not just the problem for india, but also for the dozens of countries that have or are getting covey. shield doses

that includes the countries that have been promised astrazeneca as in getting the vaccine under the kovacs vaccine sharing scheme. now for more, we're joined now by our correspondence. when you're a child re from delhi and berg rieger from brussels. welcome to both linear. i'd like to start with you. can you give me a picture of how big of a problem not being able to travel to europe actually is for indians? well, that both of us come up on death and many, many who have been jo are for one second in the country. there are people who need to travel to europe or remove a quality point of concern for the reports of many your bound university students. many young students, 1920 year old, who now off to these are all about the future of the mission. and now these concerns are coming at the time to meet one that they come and get a time when they've already gone back to school. that this also has not received

any emergency you'd authorization from the agency or even from that up for him to come over on it becomes a kind of a tuition and people i'm white whether the job. so this isn't just a luxury problem, but burned. turning to you, why does cova, she'll need to undergo separate authority station in europe if it's essentially the same as the astrazeneca job that's already being administered here to many people that actually covers. she does not have to be improved in the you to make it more complicated because approval is only needed if it is to be administered within the european union. if you travel with coverage here to the european union, every member state can accept coffee shield as a, as a valid vaccination because the you can also refer to the vaccine center approved by the w h o by the world health organization. so every

member state can do that. so if you come from india, you have to check which member state and during, and what they do and there's no, you vide rule on that. and for india, there's a travel bit in place anyway because it's a very and area so you can travel for non essential reasons from india to europe as of now. and this problem does not only concern s as in vaccines, but also biotech, pfizer, there are some canadians that are complaining that they cannot enter germany with a bay until 5 shot because by antic pfizer, it's marketing and different name in canada than in germany. so it is a more or less bureaucratic program that has to be resolved, fair rocker to travel, vaccinations, all very complex topics, but many are the serum institute has also said that it's hoping that the matter will be resolved soon. this, your institute again, is the one producing the indian version of the astrazeneca vaccine. what is actually happening to bring this to a resolution?

well yes, reportedly now that i'm, if you have applied for all right, these are from the and they are needing then the very thinking that that can be expected to know what the, the author in which you mention. and that's in the what didn't actually go out and get the name that he is actually taking it up, the higher that what it will be to resolve and how it could be, how and what the problem will be. will tell it to be a better. so whether or not authorities ation is needed and whether, whether should be serum institute is going to get it. that seems to be a matter of confusion as of yet. but there and coffee shield, of course, is widely distributed through the kovak scheme that you backs the covert scheme. meaning it thinks koby shield is good enough for the countries receiving it. but it isn't yet prepared to let anyone in the you with koby shield yet. what kind of message do you think that sends the messages?

of course a little bit complicated. also in this case, it, as i said, you can come this coverage here to the european union. it depends on the members say they can let you in. they don't have to. and covet shield is distributed to cove x. that's. that's right. and you bought a lot of doses from the make us to send it to be administered and in the future. trevor restrictions will not depend on vaccination alone. there will also be lists of countries which are green to orange seen from the european union. so we can just come with a simple test as a p c r test, you don't have to be vaccinated and this regulations get more complicated as we speak. so it's, it's not as easy as it seems and they're probably changing all the time to thank you to be to you both. whenever a child re, therefore, and deli, unburnt regret, and brussels, and now to

a new gold rush in space, once dominated by public agencies, startups and private companies are turning to the stars to that says, satellites keep getting smaller and cheaper. have a look data from space will be key to unlocking new technical innovations in the future. navigation communication, earth observation, more satellites are delivering ever more data, a huge market. according to this startup in berlin, we are convinced that every major industry will be affected during the next 10, yes, by satellite data. so to give a very precise example of what we can do with that, a lot of data, for example, monitor infrastructure with all across the globe, but also went into a mind mind to agriculture, a fierce my into a forest and so on to really for every global question, this and onset from space. my v o. evaluate satellite images with the help of

artificial intelligence, german rail operator deutscher bon is one of their customers from orbit. it's possible to see where the trees are growing too close to the tracks. it helps safety personnel do their job more efficiently. data analysis can also be useful for monitoring power grids and pipelines. we have customers from australia to europe, to the us, south american. so on. just at the beginning of this year, we've analyzed the entire us transmission and nearly 1000000 kilometers of overhead lines. as a read, there's no limitation to what satellites it can monitor in terms of scale and nearly nothing in terms of scope. satellites are getting smaller and cheaper. the company astro find has established itself as a supplier in the field. these reaction wheels can be used to steer satellites and align them with the sun. they're packed and released into orbit from boxes like these. he claimed to be the reason that small satellites are starting

a revolution is because the barrier to entry is not that high anymore. if you build very large satellites that carry a lot of instruments, it costs a lot of money. but if you make the satellite smaller to rise, the components take advantage of the increase inefficiency, and then you can put something into orbit faster with pocket sized satellites. that cost maybe 300000 euros. and then you can launch your business model. stop the industry is on its way from the workshop to mass production. giant waiting turns are turning into smart swarms that provide seamless data the raw material of the future. now let's take a look at some other business stories making headlines. facebook market value has edge beyond a trillion dollars for the 1st time. investors rush to buy stocks after a u. s. ga dismiss major antitrust lawsuit against the company. the district judge

rule that there's a lack of evidence that the company is a monopoly. china continued to economy grow by 8.5 percent this year. that's according to the world bank. strong consumer and business sentiment are leading to higher domestic demand. exports are up to, however, the lender warrens about further complications with a pandemic could put a damper on any involvement. japan saw the bank has suspended production of its chatty humanoid robot pepper. the pint sized robots were used to greet people and stores in hotels and also kept people in corona virus surveillance company. inquiring teen saw thanks, said it had to stop production because of an inventor pilot german stock exchange operator deutsch. brazza in frankfort is expanding its crypto business. the company is buying a majority, stick in switzerland script to finance. torture browser is paying an undisclosed 9 figure. some crypto finance provides

a trading platform for digital currencies as well as other investments it is set to be connected to the frankfurt exchange platform to facilitate easier trading options for customers with a goal of providing a transparent trading system for crypt. those regulated by european authorities are financial correspondent, i should touch panda joins us now from frankfurt. as to what exactly is deutsch berza hoping to achieve with us acquisition? for general, it does show that it is going big on digital last assets that it says is going to actually transform the financial sector. it has been expanding its crypt offerings . just last month we saw that the boys are actually invested along with commerce bank in a, in a fintech that actually makes while these forms for non funds will tokens and s t 's. so basically, it is looking to actually caching on the growing popularity of digital assets such

as could to currencies, bitcoin and steve. and this is because there is been a growing interest not only from retail investors, but also from institutional investors. and the growing interest and popularity means that more and more companies like deutscher boys and financial companies, are actually lining up to get to this growing market diet chairperson hopping on the crypto craze. i should touch panda there for us in frankfort. and thank you very much. virtual objects are taking the art world by storm, opening up new streams of income for the artists in tokyo. japan's 1st crypto art exhibition has just started. it's called crypt tokyo and wants to give art lovers tack heads and investors the chance to experience the new digital art, learn about its technology and meet its future stars using the same block chain technology behind crypto currencies. non fungible tokens are,

and if tease transform anything from illustrations to means into virtual collectors, items like can be duplicated and that's it for me. and the d. w. business team for more, you can always go to d, w dot com slash business. also follow us on social media. thank you so much for watching. 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 context? the corona virus. 19th, next on dw, the billions. it's about power. it's about the foundation of the new world order. the new silk grove.

china wants to expand this influence with this trade networks also in europe, conflicts are inevitable. consequences. unpredictable gateway to europe starts july 1st on d, w. i what a difference a year makes football fans follow the european championships in some places, even without masks the bands are playing before live audiences and people are traveling again. but it's all of that a good idea. just over a year ago, the corona virus made the world shut down, brought death and despair. seeing young patient, old patient,

people of all age ranges, who are just incredibly sick. and you can even hear it. now that as i'm walk through patients rooms in the hallway, just your oxygen. now, there are vaccines and countries where many people have had them. more than half the population in the worst had country, the u. s. in britain, that's even 2 thirds. after more than a year of code 19, we've become familiar with complex medical terminology, difficult biological concepts. but we also realize it's not going away that easily . britain and the united states are having trouble convincing more people to get vaccinated. delta very and spreading rapidly and vast regions like africa, still lack of ac scenes. is it really time to celebrate

in the welcome to your covered 900 special? i'm chris colbert. berlin. life is beginning to return to normal in many places as the worst of the pandemic. it looks like it might be behind us, but there are spots in the world where it's a different story, like an australia where several cities are re introducing restrictions to try to contain new covered $900.00 clusters. some linked to the delta varied sidney and darwin have begun. new locked up while other cities are re introducing mask, where of the 5 percent of australia's population have been fully vaccinated. now the shows dealing and living with the virus is still necessary for now covered 1900 isn't gone. that's good. more on this from julian tang, he's a biologist and a clinical micro biology professor at lester university in the u. k. welcome to

d. w. julian, for more than a year, the current of iris has the term of the daily lives of people around the globe. now you've been researching respiratory viruses for years. how is this virus different so this farce is not really behaving much differently from a typical pandemic virus. entering a totally sexual human population, i think was different about this far as now is the way we can actually study it in real time and also track all the different computations as well as the case there was death rates matic. this symptomatic transmission and infection. so it's also the vaccine development and the anti virus trials are being developed for this pandemic that the current of ours is not as deadly as the bowl, for example, nor is difficult to combat of h i v. nevertheless, it has triggered an unprecedented global crisis. how exactly?

so h or the terms attached to certain group of the population and the bill again, it's very geographically confined, whereas the martine kind of is really excited. everybody from every country are socio economic status, that individual and also including the healthcare work is trapped them. so this is a process spreads very much, one of the vein of influenza. the measles, for example. we also turn cause a static infection and it's very transmissible preceptor magically which is different from the previous saw as far as back in 2003. and also different from things like small folks and, and he bowl as to some extent because it can be transmitted up to 5 days before the onset. and some people never develop symptoms at all and kills prince those for the virus. and i was seeing penetration into the, in the population in primary school, secondary schools where these children mixing classes of 20 to 30 every day, 5 days a week and bring the vice home to the parents so that i don't care is and i was

seeing much much more of a focus of the population vaccinated yet. now the younger population being more affected by the current of ours is one of the things that has many people worried when it comes to the delta vary. and how worried are you about this mute? so this are the reasons why this is actually breaking through the double dose vaccinated individuals in the population to come at a time when the vaccination of people have been mostly completed. so there was still seeing some breaking infections there, but now is focusing on the younger people and the young people are the ones who are still working and driving the economy as well as in full time education. and also seeing and immersion so long have it in a greater way than previously previously was obscured by deaths and hospitalization cases. but now we see a lot of long emerging fish, 50 people having her kid can get long period. this may become a chronic, helps

a burden on the society during when the current virus started developing these various world among scientists was well, variance are more contagious, but probably less deadly or less likely to trigger severe cases. is that still the case when it comes to the delta vary? so it's hard to say at the moment and now we've got, you know, delta plus with the delta a y won carrying the south african for 17 and mutation. if these parents keep emerging and changing as we tried to assess and it's very hard to find severity in a very different way. but one thing that we haven't really picked up on now we did this last year was this idea of antibody dependent enhance. but i just wondering whether the previous community given by vaccine or national question to the original who had virus, might be wrapped in a different way to these new a variance that may actually allows me to have the severity of illness based on

that baseline of immunity. induced by the previous virus special immunity or the vaccines which are based on the original virus. that's something that we need to look into. now, scientists have learned a lot about the current of ours in just the course of one year and quickly develop effective vaccines as well. what are the things that researchers do not yet know, and that they're specifically looking into ok, so there's just some news from the u. k. about the mixed vaccine regimen, which shows that if you give wonders of the ashes, i guess, and then a 2nd. those are the 54 weeks later you get a very good level of community. so this mixed max fact seems, seems to work quite well. and even the reverse order seems to be quite effect. since globally, of course, the money we've actually had to try and this, the other thing is whether read infections or breaks infections also have a, a kind of higher risk or lower risk of long have it. this is just national

infections of the 1st time. we're not sure what the consequences reinfection would be, because a lot of infections, a milder, we don't know whether that actually increases or decreases the risk long have it as well. doing in your opinion, have mistakes been made and research that might have contained the extent of the pandemic briefly if you would yes, i think all of europe and north america realized that it could have acted earlier and will dramatically, from southeast asia. and so if that in australia, new zealand locked down the virus earlier to give time for the faxing to be developed and distributed, ministered. so i think the countries like australia, new zealand, and sockets as in countries, got it right. the 1st part, the pandemic. now what we seeing is a increased degree of action hesitancy and refusal in those same countries actually did very well. control the virus because they see the price was less of a threat than the faxing because effects. and that change in that mentality needs

to be made to protect everybody from ongoing reputation virus and generation of new variance doing and tang of lester and versity. thank you for your thoughts and now it is time to put one of your questions to our science. corresponded to williams paul oh, new code 19 variance just grew stronger and stronger over time. oh, this is a just question to answer because it assumes that evolution is predictable which it isn't. mutation happens randomly and virus genomes, as they replicate, and the physical changes that those genetic changes end up causing. and the virus is what we mean when we talk about it evolving a tiny fraction of those mutations by just by sheer dumb log. they'll provide variance with evolutionary advantages of some kind, a big advantage,

as we've seen, for instance, with the alpha and the delta variance, as far as covey to is. if a variant becomes more transmissible for some reason, but trans miss ability can increase for a range of reasons. one is to say that a variance is able to get yourself to make a lot more other than your average work today. sorry, cubby to virus can. another would be if the variant were able to remain viable longer and the environment hands increasing its chances of infecting someone. so very different reasons. same effect, see what i mean about predicting the stuff. so when you say stronger and stronger, which i assume means causing worse and worse disease, then you have to start by asking whether doing so would provide

a variant with and evolutionary advantage of some time and, and it's hard to see how it would a lot of biologists say, a more optimal combination of traits for a virus is to grow, eventually more transmissible, but at the same time, less deadly. because if a pathogen doesn't kill people, they're going to be around to spread it to others, and they're more likely to let down their guard. and in fact, each other with so though we can't predict with any certainty what future, sorry, covey to variance will look like many experts expect them to spread more easily, but cause less severe disease. and they could well be that within 10 or 20 years, getting over 19 won't be any worse for the average person, then say, catching a cold is today. but because evolution isn't predictable, that's just a hopeful guess. me,

evolution isn't predictable. well, that's all for this edition of code 900 special for more information about the pandemic. you can check out the covert 900 section on our website at www dot com until next time. thanks for watching ticket. the news. the news, the news, the news news
