to work in their field during the planting season, but so far needed the t. d. s. a to grand defense for just or the retrans soldiers who have been backing the european government in that great region since last november had officially accepted the fire. they've come as fighting intense insides in the region over the past days with the grain of thing. they claim several territories and they see the retake of mckellar as a military victory. ok, so we have a sci fi on the table. we have to wait and see if anyone's going to really respect that if it holds. is it going to help the humanitarian situation there for the people of the region who have suffered so much? well, because of the ongoing insecurity it has been so far, very difficult for and to reach some of the rural areas and to gray. where is the population suffering from widespread moment tricia and especially children and jose

i repeatedly blocked at checkpoints, accused of supporting the to grand forces. so it's use fire is in place. this could allow the workers to bring much needed help to the civilian population. farmers are also saying that they're very late on plowing their field because they either had to hide or to escape because of the situation. the un saying that 350000 that her father had to serve his jail sentence in his home and was out for we have 5 days to to keep surrender himself. so we will be looking for that . i think a lot of people suggesting that he will probably do so in the coming days, looking at the weekend on sunday, perhaps even on monday, but all indications off that he has no legal avenue to appeal. if he doesn't do that, he will. there is a warrant of the risk and the permission i said that he will certainly be enforcing that. so all went all in all an enormously significant decision from the court

today. that's it. so people have for this a historic day, again to the point that i was making, there had been this wide sense in the sense that people in political office really get away with, with, with anything they've said they're always charges in the read the newspaper on a daily and then it said some in some office accused of corruption and the before the nice people just never see the day in a corner floor. sometimes the worst consequences often just being replaced and being removed from your office. and so there is the feeling that this is so important for the country that people in government will now know that they are all consequences. jackson, that corruption and that sort of behavior is not going to be tolerated. and that much of the law will act accordingly. christine wonder in cape town. thank you. hope you're where the government has declared to cease 5 to 8 months of fighting

and it's growing region of rebel say they have now recaptured the regional capital mckayla. thousands of people have been killed since fighting broke out in november . i'm more than 2000000 displaced. the pain is everywhere. the thousands of lives lost. many others left fighting for them as 2000000 displaced from their homes and living in whatever they can find. and hundreds of thousands now face via famine, with 1000000 more in need of food age. these are the scars from 8 months of fighting between ethiopian government soldiers and rebel forces in the t gray region. on monday, the government appointed administration in

t grey cold for a cease fire before reportedly fleeing as will fall in the name of the 2 great and old loving people. we ask the federal government for sci fi on humanitarian grounds in such a way that prevents further damage to that. it is possible for people to find the rest of the bible and become part of the solution. some that you got the e c a p and government led by prime minister abbey ahmed, has agreed to the fees fire, but it appears the rebel tpl f o t great people's liberation front have not. it says it's re taken the regional capital mckelly, which it control before all met, came to power in 2018 as cease fire is just what this region desperately needs. but no one is really sure if that's what it's really got

. let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world will start in russia where police in moscow, i rated the homes of several investigative journalist families authorities, question journalist from back to which is one of the last independent media outlets in russia the organization was prepared to publish corruption allegations against that present approach period, which foreign ministers from the g 20 major economies are meeting face to face in italy for the 1st time. in 2 years, a gathering is aiming for closer corporation on issues including vaccines and climate change spans government has adopted a draft law that will allow anyone over the age of 14 to legally change their gender without medical checks. the legislation now had to a public hearing before vote in, in the countries low house parliament, french lo lawmakers, meanwhile of legalized fertility treatment for all women under the previous law in

vitro fertilization or i, v f was only available to address sexual couples, single women, and lesbian couples will now also be able to access treatments many women and previously traveled abroad to receive i. v. s. new law will bring france in line several other european nations of g p. t q. advocates of welcome to change straight to patterson where we joined the correspondence. sonya found the co welcome sonya. so outline what this decision means for us. well, this is usually significant because it should be to groups in france having pushing for yours for equal access to medical assisted reproduction. and what this decision today essentially means is that there's been coupled and single women who are below 43 will no longer need to travel abroad expenses of fertility treatments, or look for illegal illegals for the nations on the black market in front. instead, they'll be able to legally access techniques like in vitro fertilization here in

france, paid for by the health service on par with heterosexual couples. so this is indeed very welcome news for me to girls. but the will also does a few other things that will allow, in addition to this equal access. it will also allow women in the mid thirty's to freeze the eggs and not just for medical reasons, which is the situation right now. and importantly, in the case of less than couples, the will will also recognise the to the women, the 2 women as mothers on the certificate, which is also a change from the situation right now. so lots of far reaching changes which campaigners here. so you have long been overdue, and will, which will finally bring france in line with other girls in countries long over due . why does it come now? this decision will actually, this issue has been simmering in france for, for literally years. you know, everybody groups, jordan, france,

have been asking for this ever since the sex marriage was legalized influence back in 2013. but at the time, if you remember, there was a fierce conservative backlash against that bill. there were months of protest with the result that the government often so long backtracked this issue. now this issue was picked up again by preston macros government. he had made a campaign. pledge the introduces in parliament and to 2019. and also that we've seen nearly 2 years of 40 heated acura, one used to be and a lot of opposition, especially from the upper house of the french parliament, the senate, which is conservative. it's controlled by writing parties with many, all because they are really opposed to the idea of opening better dependence to single leslie couples. so this has been a long time. you know, this has been happening for many, many years now. and this decision today in the lower house, in the french baldwin finally brings, you know, draws a line under all this and makes the legal ok, thank you for access on your found the car and paris increasing

numbers of corona virus cases linked to the delta t very into causing concern and here in europe, some countries have reimpose travel restrictions just weeks after easing them. visitors to portugal have been cutting short. their holidays dealing fresh blows to people whose livelihoods depend on them. this daily has been operating here in less than for more than a 100 years. the shops survived the last major global pandemic. the spanish flew its owner. jose bronco isn't easily shocked, but he is worried to the board. lisbon is very dependent on tourism. a large part of our business comes from this sex to reach. lots of those tourists come from germany, but with a delta corona virus, very spreading in lisbon and the al gore. germany has no classified portugal as a virus variant area. you look at carol in austria, only certain regions were restricted,

but now all of portugal is being held responsible. that doesn't make any sense. anybody traveling from portugal to germany must now quarantine for 2 weeks, including people who are fully vaccinated. monday was the last day to leave before the new rolls came into effect. i'm happy that we're going home today. it was just by chance. we booked for today, but we're on the safe side and won't have any problems. getting back to germany. i think it's good that they've reacted in and people coming back have to quarantine for 2 weeks, but the down for variance will spread anyway. i was fewer holidaymakers will hit the tourism industry hot just when it was starting up again. but back at the deli, jose bronco remains optimistic. chavez, from the board as close and then open again. that's the pandemic cycle, but everything will get back to normal. the local certainly hope so. and so do the tourists go. there was a huge shock at your 2020 on monday, switzerland reeds,

quarter finals after beating world champions, france on penalties in bucharest. ya in the summer, save to can by phase of a penalty to seventy's teen through to the next round. front had been 31 up with 15 minutes of no playing time left. this with equalized with too late goals to force extra time of l. f. i, spain, who be croatia, $53.00 in another extra time thriller. the 1st at wimbledon also saw a few upsets in the men's draw world number 465 went down in straight sets to americans, francis it was the greek play as a 3rd. the 1st round defeat in wimbledon visits the this man needs the french open. final and last to know about the job the women's strong to time the champion patrick's committee of all sort of you to

you see at the top of the screens also out. she loves to another american play a slow stevens in straight committee from check republic. one, remember that in 2011 in 2014, and this was much point view showing the ball was a even go since the 2nd c, w, covered $900.00 special is next world news for you at the top of the the me the fight against the corolla virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection in developing? what does the latest research thing information and contact the corona virus because it's 19 special next on dw, you ready to get in?

the places in europe are smashing all the record. step into of venture. just don't lose your breath. the treasure map for modern globe trotter's cover. some of us are wicker, breaking the site and also in book form the ah, me, which drug help against covey? 19. at the top goal for medical researchers around the world, we have already developed several effective vaccines, but a cure has not yet been town. why is it so difficult? me so far doctors have tried drugs that have already been used for other viral diseases. like h r v a bowler,

sars and influenza. sometimes they can help but they are not. the breakthrough medical experts are hoping for. ready what we do know is that how well a drug works depends above all on when it is administered. in the early stage, when the virus enters the body, multiplies, or a later face, when the body reacts with inflammation and immune defenses is problematic. because if you have a patients, you don't really know what to do and everybody tries to this and they observe the patient and it helps off the symptoms. but there is no stem that recommendation so far. hospitals around the world are gaining experience with covert 19 and they're gathering data and the hope that it will soon be possible to do more than just protect healthy people with a vaccination. hello and welcome tara covert 900 special of course cobra umbrella.

vaccination programs around the world, the strongest defense against the spread of the current of ours. but treating patients who have fallen ill has been a lot more challenging. some doctors, i've used existing drugs against over 1900, but the medical evidence of effectiveness is often like not a possibility is to use antibodies. events to guy pharmaceuticals has applied for regulatory approval of a corona virus treatment, but combined to antibodies. it follows trials in japan. earlier i spoke to clemons ventnor, ahead of the bobbing clinic in munich. and before we talked about the current treatment of cobra, $900.00 cases, i asked them what it was like handling germany's 1st corona virus. patient almost one and a half years ago, patient 0 was without any excitement, so we just did what any doctor would have done. so the patient got

a little bit oxygen a little bit in relation, not even a real infusion. so at this moment, we just use supportive care and the best sense, but did not treat this patient is pacific way. actually the disease wind off by itself after a couple of weeks and looking at how you treat patients today with covered 19 infections. how is that changed? i think we have made some progress based on the tries. we also participated. so the one thing is in the early phase of the code 19 disease. you can indirect by using direct f like run year. but we also have the neutralizing anti bodies, so spike directed antibodies like the famous rank of, to dawn from got it and in the later phase of the disease or 2nd week and so

further on the principle is to suppress the inflammation. so that's the reason that's actually the, the prime time was due, right? the prime time for 6 anti bodies took a little more, for example, and there are new developments like gmc s f and he bought it cetera, et cetera. so you see the material is broadened, but still some, some work to be done, not the fuel for every patient at this point. now on that the antibody treatment a company in japan says are applied for regulatory approval for an anti body treatment. for cove in 1900 is this approach the most promising one? i think and i make times you have to react in a very timely and quick manner. so i think the approach that has been used in

germany, but also in the u. s. a was more efficient. so we have access to the 70 bodies without an official labor because this will take month and sometimes it's a year. so you, but you don't have time to wait. so we're just using the bodies. and without the label, we tell patients about this. but we have some data from tried that they can even reduce mortality, so that that's reason enough for us to apply these new drugs now called the patients have been treated with drugs for other viral diseases. what can we draw from that? actually we also did this in the 1st week, so typically a shall be drugs cetera. i mean, that's a try and arrow in the 1st days of this and then make time. but actually we discarded the thrust because we learn very quickly that they have

more side effects than effects. and when you're trained as a physician or physician, also participating, they tried to know what you have to do. and so this is also the story. you know that we didn't use a drug any more, but sometimes you just take the stuff that's at the bench if you don't track a lot of things to offer. and this is how it happened. also in this pandemic, and i have to side effects outweigh the actual benefits. how far along are we then when it comes to developing a medical cure for covered 19 make us big award for comic 19. i think we can help patients in a very early phase of the disease. the problem is when the patient comes to the emergency room after 2 or 3 weeks after symptom onset. so these are the real heavy

cases. and sometimes even we are not able to help young people. i think this is a long pass to go. we have a lot of things about vaccination, but the medical treatment is still let's put it this way under development and we and others, we are actively participating for this reason in clinical trial using new drugs for this disease. meanwhile, if you are very old, patients are being hospitalized. how does that change the work of the doctors working in the hospital in the 2nd and 3rd wave of the and make we had a lot of elderly patients. you know? so the point was that we also had high fatality rate because many of these only ones 80 and didn't want to go on the i see, you know, we have few patients but the majority is quite young. so we do everything for them

. and we have also not covered weight, let's put this way. we have 2 patients that was bone century, etc. so still a lot of things to be done in the clinics. and let's hope that the delta wave, we're not, not present of many young patients that we have to treat in the clinic in the i. c . u was claim as if we had one wish that would improve the treatment of cove it patients. what would that wish be? which will be that there is the metric pill. so an agent that can be used by the infected peeper before the disease really starts to, to make complication. so the, the pill, the anti covet pill that can be taken at home. this will be my wish or, or the future infected patients,

but probably 20. let's see how long it takes until we have that pill clemons. then ahead of the swab in clinic and munich. thank you for your time. while research for a drug for help covered 900 patients continue, several vaccines have already been developed to prevent people from catching the current of ours. because by high effectiveness, people still have questions about the jap. like the following one for science correspondent derek. well, it's oh, are there any ways to mitigate your chances of developing israel versus if you're vaccinated with astrazeneca? oh, i'm going to start this answer by saying something i've already said many times before, which is that both trials and hundreds of millions of recipients show the astrazeneca vaccine is highly effective that preventing future infection with coven 19. and the chances of developing the blood clots that have been associated with

the vaccine are extremely rare. the exact numbers are kind of hard to interpret. but the european medicines agency says that over the course of both doses, about one recipient and 100000 develops the side effect. so it's a very uncommon occurrence that chance is so much smaller than the chance of a serious outcome if you can track over 19, certainly for older people, that there's a very clear benefits and getting the astrazeneca vaccine. because the vaccine induced thrombosis is so rare. we're still learning about it, but we think we figured out the mechanisms that cause it. and that, coupled with simple awareness, is now playing a big role in reducing the dangers for those who do develop the condition because it can be treated if doctors recognize it quickly. symptoms of it can include

a severe headaches or blurred vision, persistent pain, and an extremity or in the abdomen. shortness of breath, or the development of unexplained bruising around the injection side and those symptoms usually occur between $4.30 days after vaccination. i couldn't find any advice about how to mitigate your chances of developing the rear side effect, which there's no surprise there since we're still unable to predict even who might be vulnerable. but being aware that as one bows, this can occur and vigilant about how it presents that can go a long way towards helping you. if you turn out to be one of the very few people who are affected me, i've been down and has this rap that a lot of lives. it has also shown some unusual example of people help each other get through. like in bangkok where the took took motorcycle taxi is

a tie national symbol, but with our tourist, many drivers fear for the future. to the rescue, hands of south korean pop star jessica show they paid drivers to carry advertising for latest music, helping them a little during the crisis. and of course, helping build a bigger kate pop fan base entirely. that's thanks for watching. the news. the news news. the news
