our modern wing back game changer, tactical dream come true. we've got 4 of them who are causing quite a stir in the wind. because after all, it makes a big difference on the page. 60 minutes, dw me, which drugs help against covey 19. at the top goal for medical researchers around the world, we have to develop several effective vaccines. but a cure has not yet been count the why is it so difficult? so far doctors have tried drugs that have already been used for other viral diseases. like h i v, bola, sars and influences sometimes they can help, but they are not. the breakthrough medical experts are hoping for. what we do know

is that how well a drug works depends above all on when it is administered. and the early stage when the virus enters the bodies, multiplies, or a later face when the body reacts with inflammation and immune defenses. programmatic, because if you have a patient, you don't really know what to do. and everybody tries to this and they observe the patient and it helps out the symptoms. but there is no stem that recommendation so far. hospitals around the world are gaining experience with cove at 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 berlin vaccination programs around the world are 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 go with 1900, but the medical evidence of effectiveness is often like not, possibility is to use antibodies too bad to die. 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 cove in 1900 cases, i asked them what it was like handling germany's 1st corona virus patient almost one and a half years ago in 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, lation, not even 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 does that change? 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 19 disease you can interact by using drugs like run year, but we also have the neutralizing antibodies. so spike directed antibodies like the famous rank of, to dawn from god it ends 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 for steroids. the prime time for i 6 antibodies took the little not for example, and they're on new developments like gym says f, anti bodies, et cetera, et cetera. so you see the material is broadened and, but still some work to be done. not the queue for every patient at this point. now on that the antibody treatment accompany in japan says and applied for regulatory approval for an anti body treatment for covered 1900 is this approach the most promising one? i think 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 excess to be 70 bodies without an official labor because this will take

months and sometimes also a year. so you, but you don't have time to wait. so we're just using the, 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 the drug 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 drive a lot of things to offer. and this is how it happened. also in this pandemic. now it's good side effects outweigh the actual benefits. how far along are we then when it comes to developing a medical cure for covered 19 years before it fall off 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 2 months it. 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 got a lot of things about vaccination, but the medical treatment is still let's put this way under development and we and others, we are actively participating for this reason in clinical trials using new drugs for the disease. meanwhile, few are very old patients are being hospitalized. how does that change the work of the doctor is working in the hospital in the 2nd and 3rd wave of the been dam make. we had a lot of elderly patients, you know, offers. so the point was that we also had high fatality rate because many of these only $180.00. and i 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,

but we have also a non copied way. let's put this way. we have 2 patients to postpone surgery, etc. so still a lot of things to be done in the clinics, and let's hope that the delta wave were 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 people before the disease really starts to, to make complications. so that the pill, the anti covet pills that can be taken at home. this will be my wish for, for the future. infected patients with comic 20. let's see how long it takes until

we have that pill clemons in my head of the swab, in clinic in munich. thank you for your time. while research for a drug to help cove with 900 patients continuous, several vaccines have already been developed to prevent people from catching the current of ours. despite high effectiveness, people still have questions about the jap. like the following one for science correspondent derrick always. oh, are there any ways to mitigate your chances of developing it from bosis 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 developed the side effect. so it's a very uncommon occurrence that chance has 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 benefit and getting the astrazeneca vaccine. because 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 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 site. 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 bosis 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 up and down, it has the srp that a lot of lies. it has also shown some unusual examples of people help each other get through. like in bangkok where the took the 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 pay drivers to carry advertising

for latest music, helping them a little during the crisis. and of course, helping build a bigger cape pop hand base in thailand. that's social. thanks for watching the news . people in trucks injured was trying to feed the city center more and more refugees are being turned away at the border. families to be crated and treated people seeing extreme around getting $200.00 people around the world. more than

300 new people are speaking with huge because no one should have to use to make up your own line. w. made for mines grappling with the expressed feeling. i'm not very creative yet, but i would love to be considered an artist one day looking for new perspectives on the door, replaced by the cabinet. doing things differently. come to the place where we reflect on society aren't on the w sometimes a seed is all you need to allow the big ideas to grow. we're bringing environmental conservation to life with learning fast,

like global ideas. we will 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 me the latest chapter in the ongoing debate over restitution of lucia art africa centers around a sacred drum that's currently in storage in london's british museum. well, that's coming up on today's arts and culture along with these stories. the french city of both a brand new cultural campus with a tower spectacular tower by canadian american architect frank geary. as it's centerpiece. and for the 1st time since the pandemic, the verona,

rena amphitheater in northern italy, has returned to staging full offers, albeit with an innovative re imagining due to continuing virus restriction. while in a historic move in april, germany agreed to return priceless artifacts to nigeria that were stolen by colonial forces. back in the 19th century, repatriation of the famous been in bronze as will start next year. but the u. k. holder of the world's largest collection of lucid art is far more reticent of the sacred and god g drum of the common community in kenya, which there are unfortunately no current pictures available is just one of thousands of artifacts. now, gathering dust in its museum volts, and it's an object of deep spiritual significance that the community wants to reclaim the manually as member returns every so often to these groups. even shallow on the banks of kenya, center river, he belongs to the become

a community. the grooves once, how's the comb with the crypt? gotcha. drum, which was stolen by british colonial officers, 100 years ago in the possible, as us who had been in a place like these to see the secret place in the forest and hope, but not even small children could find their way. he forgot the drum or gadget was once reveal. does it become with center of sovereign power? it determined their way of life. well, i am in without it, the grove is no longer secret and become a governing council to reach manuel belong, has lost most of its authority. after taking the gods from the coma, it was shipped abroad and kept his storage in london, british museums, the bahamas king, meconium augusta, the 7th, and the elders and his kingdom over the drum will never return. then guide is like

i knew my jim if i had the miss west minister, the parliament in england if i had the miss leong somewhere and musing it does that. what the british miss creed? yes to them. it's this isn't rum on savages, but it is, which is not all you might be a means it has some function. why should you deny an object? it's functions like the for coma. many communities across the african continent have been demanding for the return of the plunder. cultural co minor, a digital heavy paid specialist was shocked by how much of the restitution debate and even the actual return of objects takes place behind closed doors. she co

founded open restitution africa, an online platform that puts together data on restitution and brings african traditions to the forefront of the debate. especially when you look at technology by say we are saying that more people can access this information. more people who are not in expert cycles, let's say academics, or even in museums and people who own to it and instagram, and have nothing to do with museums or hated, can actually access this information. and i think that's powerful in, in creating awareness that yes, there is material that has been taken to macaroni for coma. king recently got communication from the partition that they would like to talk a huge step forward from when he 1st lot of initial request. if he has a goal, his community, which number roughly 200000 live in one of the poorest regions of kenya. many no longer here to the old traditions in question,

the relevance of the drum today. king michael rodney and manuel he has been both aware, returned to the old days will not be here under the lash mangled trees by the river there. hopeful, but there society, distinct identity will one day be resurrected an era for coma. one, me as and let's hope that that pride can be restored for a younger generation. and i'm joined now by my colleague adrian kennedy. welcome, adrian. it's great to see you. and we heard about one initiative there in the report, but there are really many voices across africa that are now being heard on this topic. yes, for example, kenya's national museum in nairobi has an exhibition called invisible inventories examining the skulls and consequences caused by the absence of so many cultural artifacts. the symbolism of the m. t showcases

cannot be overlooked. missing objects include mosques, shields, smoking, pipes, cones, grave markers, drums, and even stuffed lions all in all the international inventories group has a recorded over 32000 objects. wow, which is a huge number. so the plan, i guess, is to create a database of canyon objects that are held bicultural institutions across the world . so that's why our team talk to artist, an activist jim chu, chu. he says this is absolutely necessary because kenyans very often don't know where these are the facts and even what they got, what they are. and here he is explaining the scope of this problem, just in kenya, plan was to create a database of canyon objects that are spread out across the cultural institutions across the world. because because can never know where its object sign,

what they are, we decided to visualize every object as a shipping label. because for us, every object that left kenya was shipped out late. and honestly, we've covered all the was, but this is only like 2000. well, that does indeed make you think of obviously a lot of work to be done. what's the latest on the pacola drum? well, france and germany have done quite a lot. so moving the direction of returning stolen artifacts. but the british museum is holding onto this idea that it is a custodian all the world heritage for the world is making sure that these pieces remain safe and can be seen by thousands of people. but the still, the british museum. and one problem with this is a course that people in africa can hop on a plane to london every time they want to see the national treasures. now the per

como king put in this request years ago the museum is prepared to talk, but probably only about a loan. but the good news in office is that the many proliferating african initiative is putting more pressure on institutions to revise the perspective on. so this is a developing story or stories, i guess we could say that we'll have to definitely keep tabs on that. thanks very much for bringing us back. strong background story on the ganges drum. adrian kennedy. thanks want. thank you. well, the southern friend, city of aqua, has a spectacular new cultural venue designed by none other events. frank geary, in attribute to the town the most famous past residence. the romans on the one hand and dutch painter vincent fan golf. the canadian american architect has created a sculptural steel tower as the heart of a brand new 27 acre creative campus called luma aga. the new building by architect frank gehry, is a monster of steel,

glass and concrete region. 56 meters in height. no 2 sides are the same in architectural challenge, that the trademark of gary's designs. the facade features more than 11000 stainless steel bricks specially designed to reflect the particular quality of the light and approvals. gary has described it as a painterly building. the building will be blue, sometimes it will be pink, it will be yellow, orange silver. obviously, the fact that they're set it angles makes each of the panels in different color have the capacity of being a different color to the building will be an exhibition space for the personal collection of the owner. swift billionaire, maya hoffman. the site will also include a library archive rooms and restaurants. the round base was inspired by us woman amphitheater. the tower echoed the craggy opium mountains and the steel reflecting light evokes vincent van gasp paintings. and speaking of fun golf

it's kind of medical because in this period we have this situation then come back to the normal things stage and pretty much together. not too much distance, i mean, slowly, we can back to normal and we take out the, the, the restriction that we had for a long time. behind the scenes of the verona arena, profess plenty of work has been going into adopting the world famous sets to new social distancing standards. the new rules meant that they couldn't have as many stage hands cramped together to move sets around. oh, best solution. 3 deep background projections, including seen from the operates inspirations such as felina movies of your materials. we understood already last year in november that we needed to have another plan. in the event you ality that we couldn't use the traditional big sets

by frank rally, etc. because we wouldn't have been able to maintain the proper social distance of the workers. and so we came up with many fun daniel, we work day and night and we decided to use technology to transmit beautiful images instead of the big set. and i think and i posted the good, i'm jealous to me to present to the magic letter the performers seen here performing poly out, she has to get used to the new technology, but some of the thing is, are impressed by it. you nancy to multiple call model. first of all, it's very convenient because for the voice it becomes a war that gives you acoustic help. and in the arena, that's really important because we thing outdoors that i mean a band that the audience also impressed no technology at the new technology. well, even being used to the big sets of the arena. it's still very beautiful. most of
