incentives, but best laid plans often go astray to those who will win the game of diplomatic poker. the entry power plays and the lines is behind the scenes of the climate. so it starts august 5th on dw me a quarter of the global population has received at least one dose of a cobra. 1900 vaccine, looks good. at 1st glance, the figure hides a serious problem. low income countries are far behind. just 100 have at least one jobs. distribution is slowest in africa. there just aren't enough doses. the world health organization has sharply criticized the lack of action. the world is in box, you know, but the lack of doses is having serious knock on effects for poorer countries.

ah, and not enough. vaccines means more people catching the virus more hospitalizations, more deaths, just take kenya. why? case levels are pushing hospitals to the brink, especially as they run short of vital supplies. health officials won't the highly contagious. delta vary and 1st identified in india is responsible for the rise and infections. t w's. mario miller visited the hospital in consumer where they're running dangerously short of medical, oxygen screams for more oxygen. the intensive care unit and key sumo hospital, one of the biggest in kenya, nurse nicholas piano has seen a 3rd of his covert patients die. you might think of if you might think the patient is improving, they might talk to you in one second and then they just collapse and die. the i see

you is for a piano and his colleagues overwhelmed. they just lost another patient. the hospital director is worried, they need 5 times more oxygen and far more high flow oxygen machine than they have for food. and we in africa need those high flow devices are very expensive so we can afford them. we lose lives that could be saved because this devices are not available. health officials believes the number of corona virus cases is much higher than recorded, especially in villages where people can't afford the transferred to a hospital. you need to move to. well, jennifer, a we d bird. her younger sister, 2 days ago, it went very fast as a bird headache, fever, shortness of breath would be when it all started on a sunday. when you learned church, she felt unwell by the time saturday came. it was too much for her to bear. she was

taken towards the door and the same day she died. death has come to this village residency. there's been 50 barrels here in recent weeks. the only oxygen plant in the region has reached breaking point and won't be able to meet an increasing demand. i'm getting so many calls from the person will need to do, will need to be home to people of the regular dog. if you don't use them as far as possible, then the next few minutes. that's going to be gone back at key su more hospital. there are some good news. a patient who's been dependent on oxygen for weeks will be released soon. somebody should not. you'll cut out and that is not the thing is really when you want to take life, yes. say to remove whatever they're giving you where you i didn't see it meant,

then you feel it's luck was on his side in the house system. so overstretched. luck is what these patients will need and joining us now is director of the africa centers for disease control and prevention doctor john king of song. thank you very much for taking the time to speak with us today. now, before we get to the supply shortages, i just want to go back to a statement that we heard earlier from the chief of the w h o. do you agree with him that the world is in, in his was a back seen apartheid? absolutely. absolutely no way you cannot say the word is in that situation, given the disparity in access to vaccines that we are experiencing in africa, we're over or just above one percent of a population of 1200000000 people have been vaccinated. and we actually don't know when back seems to be interact, continent scale and that speed. so it is

a very troubling situation. it is a situation that we haven't seen. it should not be the case for month. but here we are with that situation here is personally in the midst of a very aggressive ted wave su, describing extremely serious situation. and you have previously said africa is not winning against the virus. so what needs to be done and who needs to do? it's to get the continent in a winning position in, in respond and in anticipation of exactly what we are going through. on the 8th of may, we can be in an emergency meeting of or minister of her to actually want to raise an alarm that what was happening in india could actually happen here. if you recall, we said we need to do 3 things. we need what we call enhanced prevention. we need it in hand monitoring. we need it enhance treatment, where people actually, countries actually stop them set up with oxygen,

where we knew where the barriers were cyclical, but conducting surveillance and flushing out their hot spots. and we have an access to vaskins, does that, does that come on strategy? we agreed on the 8th of may? so this was anticipated. a was predicted that we may actually begin to us that we've really as t calling for partnerships to, to support countries to fight this very brutal debt with. okay, and we, we saw just in our report that the medical supply shortages, one of the biggest pressure points on health care right now in kenya as we saw or e, c o, p, or africa more broadly. very broadly. you see that hospital systems over when health care work over when we start, we don't have enough healthcare work as you've hospitalized up to. now the board is substantial amount and efforts and resources to treat in covered patients. you can

very quickly see the damage and hum that that is going to cause you in debit diseases on the continent. so we're dealing with a situation where the new area and the data vivian is spread and very aggressively transmit over in excess of 40 percent more than the ordinary, a 1000000000. so that is what is of a women that has that just in kenya. we see that we have a swap team in zambia, we have team that i had into many african countries to support them. so the suggestion is very alarming across all across the continent. ok, so that's about the spread of the delta. very it making things even more difficult than they normally would have been. but while hospitals ready and if they're still not ready to accept this 3rd wave, what needs to be done and how can they go about it? my advice suggest cdc is that countries would need to improvise and begin to look at make ship scenarios where they can actually use open door and

outdoor facilities to treat patients like rio grande us that we use in sports arena and keep them would make ship facilities to treat patients because the hospitals are when you do not view a hospital overnight, we do not develop her system, but need them at the same time you develop them before you need them. so we are completely in immediate of a situation and you know where we need to improvise and develop mixed treatment centers. all right, well, thank you very much for your insights. the very difficult situation, the africans facing right now, but hopefully there will be some kind of way forward. the has to be dr. john and can get some from the africa, c, d. c. thank you very much for your time. thank you. thank you. and now it's the part of the program where we put one of your questions to our science correspondent derek williams. paul, can a person with h p v,

or cervical cancer, get the cobra 1900 vaccines. oh, i need to give a little background on this answer to make sense. h p v or human, paloma virus is a virus transmitted mostly through sexual contact, that can cause boards or lesions in those who contract it. it's actually the most common s t i world wide, and that's also viewed as a risk factor for later developing a range of different types of cancers. about 40 years ago, german researcher has through a house and proved a direct link between h p, v. and cervical cancer and was eventually granted the nobel prize for his work in 2008. that research laid the foundation for the development of h p,

v vaccines and, and gave rise to the long term goal of eventually wiping out cervical cancer entirely by stopping the transmission of h p. v. so, so now you know enough to go on, let's get back to the question. cancer patients, as a rule, have actually been placed pretty high up on priority lists and most national backseat campaigns. doctors usually want their patients to get the chart because they're often heavily immunocompromised pence and a pretty precarious place if they do get sars covey to. in fact, research is now showing that far from posing a danger to cancer patients, the big worry is that covert 19 vaccine won't stimulate a strong enough immune response in them to fight off the disease, should they be exposed. so studies are also ongoing to see whether cancer patients

might require more shots to achieve the same protective effects. if you have h p, v, or cervical cancer than talk to your doctor, of course before being vaccinated. but, but in most cases, i assume the recommendation will be to get your shod as soon as possible. me eric williams there. and finally, new york city put on a party hat on sunday for pretty much the 1st time since the pandemic began. the annual may seize firework show lighting up skies in celebration of the countries independence day. the show was bigger and brighter than last year's more subdued event firms including cold play performed, and the guests were once again welcome to the show. the us hasn't yet declared its independence from the colona virus, though with explanation rights slowing present,

joe biden, telling americans on sunday that getting a vaccine was the most patriotic things they could do. and that's all for this edition of our covered 1900 special more you can check out the cobra, 1900 section on our website, the w dot com. and we'll leave you with these pictures for now until next time. thank you very much for watching and take care of the old interest economy our portfolio d w business b on. here's a closer look at the project. our mission. to analyze the flight for market dominance. with the, the business beyond on youtube and on the green. you feel worried

about the planet on neil's post on the on the green fence we need to join me for the dive into the green transformations for me to use for the plan. ah me. oh oh, i can because you isn't oh no no, no no.

to me i the hello there and welcome to our latest edition and to kick off the week, we'll meet nana or 40. i am one of africa, visionary creatives, who worked tirelessly to preserve and showcase the past, present, and future of african arts and culture. also coming up with based photographer zach fun 1000000000 captures the natural world in, in for read, hoping to strengthen our bond with nature beyond the urban jungle. and over ted comes monumental novel. the tower is one of our 100 german most compelling tale of

the east, german experience, that one the german book prize. now a 40 i am has big plans for the african or seen. the guinea and writer filmmaker and art historian has initiated multiple projects to showcase the diversity of african art, or from an online pan, african cultural, encyclopaedia of arts and culture to her own day do novel, which has just appeared here in germany. she's changing the narrative of how a vast continent perceives itself. none a for you is on the moon. we caught up with the expert for african art at the you art center in month, where she's planning an exhibition of contemporary art from donna. i'm from one part of that well, which are cultural expressions and ways of being and seeing what

a certain extent suppressed. and i think my mission in a way is to bring these back to the full from and show the value again. so that we have this fullness of being moved between culture and that she was born in germany. but today is a granddaughter as a guinea and king lives across her story of migration provided the background for her debut novels that the god child child very much still the colonial hang up. you know, parents said to us, especially when you grew up in europe and abroad, you know, you always have to be better than them in order to be taken half seriously. you have to speak better, you have to be more intelligent. you have to walk honda. it's very much, you know, we have to still fight and prove ourselves to be equal. in the novel, she is my own,

the only black girl in 1974 neighborhood being perceived as different is a defining experience. her father is a doctor, her mother, a princess who challenges preconceptions with an immense pride in her origins. you know, we're always preparing to go home. europe was always a short stop. it was never the end goal. so no, that wasn't the sense that europe was bad at all. it was always like home is where we belong. that's where we're going. we've come here to get an education so that we can go home and, you know, make it better, make a life event. at 1st maya has no concept of homeland. she shuttles between locations. do spoke london, a convent school in noise. she learns the codes that the european world until one day her cousin cojo arrives and sparks her enthusiasm for the history, traditions, and spiritual rituals of gunner de decide to rewrite the book of their ancestors.

it was also a metaphor for that which had been lost. i know that a lot of my generation felt this gap between us grandparents, gaps of knowledge, gaps, knowing how to do things. you know, that happened dances that parents can do with out dances that speak that we just don't know. the novel followed the rhythms of the canadian drums that some of the ancestor stories into the present. it also depicts, gone as colonial past, the stolen art treasures, the loss of identity. maya comes to see herself as a part of the country that has to recover it, sold and go with them way like her alter ego, i. e is reclaiming the history of her country using heart for years. she's been bringing it into the everyday lives of names with a mobile museums project. i think the colonial have made a cell phone for to. it's kind of claim this space within history. and what i'm

trying to do in a way to say, well, actually as all of this multiplicity, there's all this, well, there's all this witness in evolution and our cultural evolution. and we don't have to keep reducing it to their captain. she uses art for transformation outside, gone to in 2019. she curated the country's 1st ever pavilion at the venice b. m. alec a major triumph that she fought hard for and even tougher process is towards the restitution of artifacts stolen during the colonial era. on behalf of the guinea and culture ministry, she's involved in dialogue with european museums. i was a lot of questions that came up around the recitation. that beginning was we give them back the tech will they know how to look after them? which apart from, you know, the obvious insult and racism, implied in that question on the surface. you know, this whole kind of civilizing colonizing mindset is still completely

prevalent. even in those museum directors that are willing to have conversations that they need to speak to. and until this is shifted, it's for me, it's a bit of an empty jess. there are a multitude of historical wrongs to put right now for you. novel says that god, children do exactly that is travelling through time and hearing the whisperings of the universe. in the other culture news, damien hirst, and all faulty feebler of the contemporary art world is best known for his provocative pieces featuring dead animals in formaldehyde from way back in the 90s . but a new exhibition in paris offers an unexpected explosion of joy and color with his sherry block in series. it's seen as a natural progression of his earlier spot painting work and

a homage to 19th century impressionism and point to live them over show features 30 work from a larger series that took in 3 years to complete and signals a return to paint her says his vision only got bolder, with repeated pandemic delays and a collection of paintings by american pop arts, pioneer andy warhol is on show in tehran for the 1st time clinic portraits of mick jagger, marilyn monroe. and jackie kennedy and aversion of war holds famous campbells soup cans. are in the spotlight to the delight of visitors. the paintings have been lying dormant in the store room of the museum of contemporary art into around since the islamic revolution in 1979 now to the work of photographers zack fund, bill yawn, who grew up in south africa, where he graduated top of his class at the national college of photography event, emigrated to europe and spent some time as a commercial photographer before his urge to get

a fresh look at nature made him see read the my name is ac, someone young and i'm as a soccer. i'm currently working on my modernized necessaries, which is photographed and infrared. the photographer uses the techniques to create a real image world like this one. for each turns, pain can rate changing the natural environment almost into some kind of alien territory. and subtle greens from the trees become more dominant. the 1st house on zack sounds zillion is out hunting for subjects. he grew up in south africa, but he's lived in switzerland for many years now. in 2009, he conducted his 1st experiments with infrared photography and has concentrated on the technique ever since. in color photography,

we capture the visual spectrum that is blue, green and red. in the infrared, we capture near infrared light as well. chlorophyll in plants absorb the visual spectrum to use this for, for different pieces. and the cell was on the other hand, reflect near infrared lights, and this reflected energy creates these pinkson reds that sound young has exhibited his works around the world. currently, his infrared photos are on display and sophomore, and many of them were taken here in the area. after he made the move from south africa to europe in 2004, he started working as a commercial and fashioned photographer. now you've got clients the world over but his own

creative projects are where his heart is. the search for motifs, the nature is an experience, and it's more than half the world for relation all born in thirties and all these people are no longer anything for the nature patrol. are they like phones and devices? i want to attract these cities and subconsciously reminds of all the real name, charles, i will be walking in the mountains and a view like this will prevent the south to me and i'll be without words. i cannot live without this, and i don't see as having a future without nature. some people may dream of going to mars, but all it takes to see the other worldly beauty of a red planet right here is a slight color. ah, ah. well finally, anyone wanting to gain

a better understanding of the former communist. if germany is well advised to read over 10 comes novel. the tower sets in today has been in south eastern germany. it recreates the atmosphere of the late phase of the country. so just before the fall of the berlin wall and the book, one several prizes and was also adapted for a tv film. but as we purists like to say, nothing quite nails. it like the original. what would you do if you saw a police officer reading and kicking your mother? what if you were held back and forth to watch me need this down as a teenage boy, when he sees his mother attacked for protesting against the east german regime. it's october 989 to 2 weeks before the fall of the berlin wall. but no one knows yet the communism is about to chrome. christian is the tragic hero and author over telecoms novel, the tower. it's about 3 generations in

a family of intellectuals who despise both communist east germany, where they live and the capitalist west. they're the type of smug elite who aren't even supposed to exist in the field called workers paradise. they live a life torn between resistance and resignation, and it's especially hard on the youngest of them. because stands, uncle warned him not even to fall in love me. they kiss you and they betray you both in the same breath. it doesn't have to be like that, but sometimes it is. and you can't take any more risk. it's about time you started to learn, but in this country you can't behave like a little child. this country is not the place to be young. no author has ever described east germany. so free of illusions. if the last glance at the grand allies that many people relied on to make sense of, there was a power with overtake comes, breakthrough has 1000 page breakthrough. that one has been german

ah, and enthusiastic recommendation, there are so many good books for that. never ending summer reading low stand with that all the rest from us here in berlin until next time. and cheers truth. ah, the wonders ranch. northern was no human including the creatures like turtles amenities and losing their habitat. paradise to be things to brazil, dream coastline hush reality for sea turtle. the count in 30 minutes on d. w. because he's broken in no time
