and as i was saying, i think a commitment to science and research is something our countries shall want to develop together. i say he went to castle outside london, my d w correspondent bergen mass is following the story. welcome beckett. let's start with that press conference. what do we learn about the state of relations between the 2 countries? well, bilateral is really the buzzword for the u. k. having left the european union, the u. k. really is depending on bilateral relationships and germany is of course, one of the most important strategic partners for the u. k. it's the 2nd law largest trading partners. but also when it comes to foreign and security policy, there are the interests very much aligned and we see that there is a joint declaration that was just that was just published between the u. k and, and germany in many other areas to that they have a non, please have announced that they want to cooperate when it comes to use exchange and

also cultural exchange. so very much declaration of good will of continued cooperation between the 2 countries. that there was some friction that wasn't that, that but in the northern island, the protocol came up in questions when it was signed. boris johnson claimed it as a big victory, but it has been a huge source of friction between britain and the you it continuous. so the friction and i was just in bel falls and i have to say it's also a very big topic in northern ireland. the problem is that northern ireland is part of the united kingdom, but economically remains aligned to the european union. and that for some people who live in northern ireland, that is, it's a big bone of contention and was johnson is continuing to try to solve this problem also individually with, with leaders like uncle america. but i thought it was very telling that she said, well, let's be pragmatic. here she said, i am optimistic that solutions can be found,

but she said also let's not overstretch ourselves. so i read this as a hint to say, well, you have to really maintain sensible relations also with brussels and you know, not just clustering and big words, but really sort of work on the pragmatic solution. so you so that, you know, this can say potentially a big concern can be solved. and now i'm glad macro is having tea with the queen. is that just a courtesy visit, or is it something more substantial? angela america, we know is really a fan of the korean, so she's been twice being a guest in buckingham palace. and also the queen has visited the chancery in berlin and we know that she, she definitely enjoys the conversations with the queen. i can imagine that these 2 ladies have something in common when they talk about the tabular times that they've been through not together, but you know, respectively at the helm and different fun to off of their country. and i think

they can both be seen as, as to strong women who have quite a steady hand when it comes to, you know, steering that countries through these, these times that you know, with cove, it and brag seat have really been very, very exciting. and they've been seeing us, you know, maybe a call center. it made all this turmoil bank that budget mass in windsor. well, i'm going to, michel became chancellor back in 2005 answers our last date of 4 british prime ministers. having met with number 5 today, here's a look back at how she's whether those changes. one moment to visit england. the crowds are all ready cheering, but not because angle imaculi's coming in state. it's about beating germany at football. but the chancellor has seen all sides of this love hate relationship before this hearing 16 years in office medical is dealt with 5 british prime

ministers. you know, when she came to power, tony blair was in number 10 downing street. they had big plans together to end poverty and start tackling climate change. leaders move their parties towards the center. both were at times hugely popular with voters. but as macros, power grew player was replaced by his nemesis gordon brown. he was a very serious man. not unlike the chancellor, we now need to come together again with heightened cooperation. that while the germans appreciated sobriety, brown was soon heading for the feature oppose who flew in to provide some support. but she did not meet her fellow conservative. david cameron brown lost the election . the new prime minister wooed the chancellor with self diplomacy. in the british museum, the visitor was shown proof of the british love of german cars. but cameron's

friendly overtures were undermined by his plan to hold a referendum on leaving the youth. medical herself was briefly at the center of that debate. when the women, they called multi addressed the mother of parliaments, we need a strong united kingdom with a strong voice inside the european union. if we have that, we will be able to make the necessary changes for the benefit of all. but her appeals fell on deaf ears. the u. k voted to leave the rec, save also brought in medical's p. m number for where to resume. it seemed at 1st there was hope of doing a deal to pragmatists working together even after the split in brussels. a shared sense of color and a shared sense of humour could the cement relations. but the deal on future co operation agreed by may medical and the other. a new leaders was thrown out by the

house of commons. last in the line of british leaders of america is boris johnson. his bullish bravado is a world away from her cool, analytical focus. but even he is willing on occasion to quote the german chancellor . we in the u. k. want a deal. we seek a deal and i believe that we can get what we can do the shopping ducks. i think it is the phrase prime ministers have come and gone and medical has worked hard to smooth relations with the u. k. the politics side, there's one british leader, anglo medical has always gotten on with perfectly well. and the delta veteran found the current, a virus is close to become the dominant strain worldwide. now, public health experts a closely monitoring the spread of another worrying variant delta plus it was 1st

identified in india where more than 50 cases have been detected. it's also surfaced in the united states and in other countries. indian scientists say it's highly transmissible and crucially, resistance to life saving drugs given to some curbing 1900 patients with further study is needed to confirm those findings. dr. richard martin, eloise and infectious diseases specialist and an associate professor at yale school of medicine. a welcome to d w doctor a. so tell us more than about this, this latest very active concern. what we know about it. what we know about the delta variance is it does seem to spread much more readily than he's in the alpha variant, which was 1st identified in the u. k. and described about 6 months ago. so we're very concerned to see this delta varian spreading so rapidly. and there is some early evidence suggesting that it may be related to

a greater severity of disease compared with the alphabet area. and also there's some data out of the united kingdom, which shows that the rate of hospitalization is greater for those individuals who are infected with adults very and compared with the older alphabet. and this is highly concerned. so more contagious and more dangerous. the world health organization says the original delta variance is on track to becoming the dominant strain across the world. how will that change? how will that change public health policy? well, i think 1st and foremost, you know, we do know that the vaccines are effective against this delta variance concern. and so it's most important that people who have not yet been vaccinated who can be vaccinated, go out and get back to me that we know the vaccine is safe and effective and even

effective against this felt very and i think aside from vaccination, we do know that the non pharmaceutical interventions, so masking, keeping one's distance from each other. we know that those are very effective in preventing the transmission of cobit and we expect them also to be effective for this delta mary. and just another vaccination, we've seen that the original delta variant spreading in countries like israel and the u. k, which had rather to be high vaccination rates. so what does this tell us about the lot likely success of the vaccines that we currently have? well, we have now from the beginning that although the vaccines are highly effective and even against this delta variance, they are not perfect. and this delta variant is still able to spread a little bit, but the more people that we have vaccinated as we get closer to having 708090

percent of our population vaccinated that will help to slow down how readily the delta variance is spreading. and for those who get sick, we know that it is preventing them from getting sick as they would otherwise then if they had not been vaccinated, just a final word then on vaccines. we have the case of vaccines that we have now about . that was, that was for the old that was for the original delta variants. should we be our pharmaceutical companies now working sort of playing catch up with these, these various and perhaps even tried to predict whether might jump to the pharmaceutical companies are working on vaccines. that are more directed toward these variants, but also there's a lot of work looking at how well the vaccines are working. the original vaccines are working against the experience. and so far the news is a good. what is good? we're, while we're seeing

a little bit of diminishment in how much antibodies are being produced and how much, how well those the anti bodies are working, which are produced after vaccination. they still seem to be working overall well enough to prevent most of the infections. and i spend some good news. thank you so much for joining us. dr. dr. richard marcelo, from the yale school of medicine taken up now as some of the other stories making news around the world. a clash is broken out to shout the gold. apple staff locked a passport, control zone in process in a protest about pay cuts, right? police 5 pepper spray passengers record from the chaos and flights were delay. thousands of people have been evacuated from the villages near the philippines, capital bonilla, because i'm a k, no interruption. the towel, volcanoes, and plumes of asha kilometer into the sky officials were crowded emergency shelters, could spread. the corona fires, protest as in canada,

pull that statue of queen victoria and queen elizabeth a 2nd anger groves of cada's treatments of indigenous children. the statues were torn down in the city of winnipeg and 1815, stunned by the written discovery of hundreds of graves for the residential schools for indigenous children of the last remaining american, a nato troops, a vastly background, military base of dallas down the facility has not been handed over to afghan forces . background was the center of the u. s. and nato's war against the taliban and al qaeda. $100000.00 ship station that speaks that 20 year mission is not coming to an end. taliban has welcomed the departure. countries security situation is precarious that are rising fears in the civil war as the taliban and local warlords battle for power. many afghans and i worried about what'll happen when only international troops of gun w. corresponding to

terry shows is a the brussels where nato is headquartered. a welcome terry. so this is the end of michelle raisins is coming earlier than expected. why is that? that's right, fell the the original deadline was set for september 11th, but it's been clear for months that the us wanted to speed up this departure. and we even heard the date, july, 4th in recent weeks, as when president biden was aiming for. and it looks like he'll make it with the hand over of bob graham today. clearly one of the last milestones and without us forces the allies can't see either. and that's why we've seen the germans this week . the italians and the pools also head out before the last american soldiers go and kind of gun forces handle security without international help. that remains to be seen, but the signs are not good. they have been very dependent on especially us air strikes,

to, to try to keep control. and the taliban have been constantly encroaching on territory that used to be held by the afghan armed forces. and there are even problems still like the fact that the african air forces, planes and, and helicopters and such were maintained by us contractors. so with, with the u. s. heading out is going to put pressure on a lot of the resources that the afghans armed forces would have stay with this tell, you will take a look at this. the wider problem of the security situation in afghanistan, which as we just been discussing, is precarious to say the least that a rising phase of a civil war with a taliban and warlords battling for power. so many africans are worried what the future will hold when the foreign troops of go a journey through a war zone here and the scanner, stones, capital, cobble, barbed wire, and high walls protect not just embassies and government departments, banks and hotels to fear is ever present here kara attacks take

place daily government districts and residential neighborhoods. this western district is one of the cities most dangerous, mainly has our is live here. this year and minority group is i'm the result from the ton of 85 people were killed in an attack on a school in early may need to, to, victim to a girls between the ages of 11 and 15 after 20 years of foreign age. afghanistan is one of the poorest and most dangerous countries in the world. people at this bizarre, tell me they were afraid, the situation will need to tear. we're rate when international troops withdraw to make the mind they have one. i think the situation in afghanistan is getting worse. by the day. we thought we'd get better off to 20 is done,

but do the habit. nothing has happened. i forget them and we're heading for another war. what are their only bonus that i fear ganga. they go up this training to says he used to work with the u. s. military, like many afghans who worked for the foreign forces, he fears revenge, attacked by the taliban. i want to out from here because my family and i am not say that the here's the i want and again, when you and the country is actually but i don't have to go through our, our doctor because in here is very danger. place the cost of private security has risen sharply here, especially in recent months. businesses stepping out that protections not just not just fear of the taliban. and also growing crime. entrepreneur

lay, he has a call center and an employment agency and cobble the 46 year old says he's determined to stay in the country, but the poor security situation is a problem. and he doesn't know what will happen when all international troops withdraw. they don't know about 2 or tomorrow because in some provinces, we sleep at night. but even in the morning when makeup, this is the office is closed because the invite on the uncertainty and fear that pervades this country are only growing as the full withdrawal of all foreign troops. nice fairy shoals in brussels. terry estimated 20 years and i've got this done under deteriorating security situation that have plenty of people say that nato has a responsibility to stay and help. that's right, phil, there are people who say that,

but they're not running nato and the u. s. military operations because it was concluded that there was no advantage to be gained by staying longer as, as nato and president biden always said, there are risks to going. there are risks to staying. they clearly made their decision that the risks of, of staying would be worse. and so yes, they're, they're moving very quickly to be out. we're hearing that just within a couple of days. this will happen end, and many afghans. fears may come true. you have u. s. military commanders saying openly that it's possible the country will descend into civil war. but the u. s. has decided that you know this, it's time to go. it said that the main goal here was to keep another terrorist attack from being launched from afghan soil. and in fact, that hasn't happened to the last 20 years, so they've decided to pack it up. thanks. d, w car spelled and teddy showed in brussels. the football euro 2020 quarter finals are getting underway with perhaps the most

important much between a belgium and actually italians failed to qualify for the last major toilet. but have been on fire this summer raising hopes that they could win the 1st european title for half a century. yeah. 6 football fans have become used to these images lately. italy have one every single game at years 2020 so far, causing unbridled joy in rome. the team has firmly established itself as one of the tournament favorites that unfound seed, austria pushed them all the way to extra time. in the round of 16, some pundits have begun wondering whether italy or all that cracked up to be coach for both mancini though, see things differently, but it was a very difficult match. there were moments where the team had to baffle tooth and nail. go before the match. i said the game against the austria, the they might even be

a harder match than what we'll face in the court to final. the quality. that's a bold claim given the next opponents of the top rank team and well football belgium. the red devils could be limited by injury. the key player kevin de bruna and captain as are. but with star strike rama lou lou cock who informed he azurie can't take anything for granted a threat. italy's own goal machine chiro in mobile, i know as well from their battles in the italian league. our again was the last time you said it was in mobile, i versus lucas were playing into and he's going to go major. so please don't call it a mobile a versus luc khaki. again. say belgium versus italy instead and give it a chance every the style, flat composure and not just in that fashion choices. italy, other teen, everyone's got that io. and at the moment now they have to prove themselves in that

toughest test. yes. fan. give the fans back home. another reason to celebrate the what we call that the belgium game space space faces switzerland, aspire explosive attack of the toner and topping 11 goals and the, the tilting heavily in their favor. switzerland, of course, are hoping to come up with an upset on their round of 16 when the world cup champions, france, so they could have more surprises, slaves in athletics, us printer chart, kerry richardson, one sports hottest prospects, is accepted a one month ban after using marijuana it means she will be able to compete in 100 meters in the tokyo olympics basis and tested positive for the drug after winning the u. s. trans. in oregon, this month 21 year old that she'd use marijuana as a way of coping after the death of her mother. the drug is banned by the world and
