for my guess, this week is almost pipe. nice, jared. lose foreign affairs committee. can he play my such a powerful block of nations? seems to punish so far below its weight on the world stage. 60 minutes on w. ah, how effective are our vaccines against new forms of covey? 19 a preliminary study from israel appears to suggest the by on tech find the job off is less protection against the delta variance than previous strains to 64 percent. that's a lot lower than other estimates of nearly 90 percent. so does this change how we fight the pandemic? the delta strain has changed the transmission dynamics everywhere. and in israel also, we know it is more infectious from person to person. we also know it has some better

capacity to evade the immune system as compared to the alpha strain. the good news is that the fully vaccinated people rarely suffer severe effects even with the delta variant. and despite rise in cases, israel hasn't seen a death in over 2 weeks on robots in berlin. welcome to this code, 19 special in israel, current of ours case numbers are creeping up again. the country has been roundly praised for it switched back summation program, but house officials, they're all proceeding with caution, with a local study suggesting the biotech 5 job is not as effective against the invading delta variant as previously thought. younger israelis are being encouraged to get vaccinated. the adam good. he's taking his daughter's leah and to get vaccinated. more and more young israel is age 12 to 15 and now getting there,

jump like here at this small clinic and class saba. not least because of the fast spreading delta variant. and because many have plans for this summer. i think it's really good. it gives us much more freedom and it's nice to find the, you know, corona's over and hopefully and yeah, i think it's important. it's still not steady because the countries have still not, and not all of the countries have gotten the have gotten the opportunity to have the vaccines, but hopefully we'll be able to go 7, don't very and has driven infections to level is not seen in israel since april, mainly among unvaccinated people, because we still have a nice amount of people dictated young people that can see here very increasing affects them young people that can be vaccinated, and we still see a portion of the elderly people and not feel vaccinated for various reasons. some

vaccination people also have been infected for now the number needing hospital treatment remains low. all those figures are rising. so we do see people who actually acquired the delta after being immunized and the intern smith. yet there are chances to be severely ill to be hospitalized or to die or slim. so we, we definitely see a very important role for the innovation you is really, government is pushing for 12 to 15 year old to be a not collated now with the by own tech pfizer vaccine. prime minister enough, talley bennett is appealing to young. people directly come up with some of the guys that i know how much you want to enjoy the summer. and you can, i also have full kids, your age, and they to want to enjoy the summer. we don't want to impose any restrictions on any one, no bands on parties or trips, no bubbles,

nothing. but you need to talk to your parents and get vaccinated. so that we have a wonderful summer with no closures and no restrictions about israel has re imposed an indoor mask mandate and titan controls that the main international airport for good is relieved that his teenage daughters and now protect it. it was somewhat of a difficult decision because there are a lot of unknowns, but there are a lot of unknowns in parenting. how long do you give them on the i pad. what time should they go to bed? what food should they? what i know is that the vaccine would, these are all, had the big problems with the pandemic. and since everyone's got vaccinated over the age of 16, the problems of all but disappeared further restrictions might be imposed just to delta variant continues to spread. but for now, israel aims to get most youngsters over 12 fully vaccinated before some of its

doses expire later this month. we can now speak to professor a lesson who is a director, israel largest hospice or the shiva medical center. thanks for joining us on the code 1900 special. can you tell us how concerned you are about the rising number of creative iris cases in israel? we are not very concerned because we have by now pretty good information about the effectiveness in preventing severed the patient and what we learned here and also from information that comes from the u. k. maxine is more than 90 percent effective in prevent i think severe disease nation for why we may see an increasing the number of conflicts. we will probably only see a very much increase in severe disease. but we have had this study from israel suggesting the voluntary 5 vaccine is less effective. at stuffing the spread of the delta variance 60 percent rather than close to 90. like you were just saying,

what was your take on those results? it is important to differentiate the vaccine effectiveness in preventing infection, which is not very good against that, which means even if you're vaccinated, you may still becoming factors. and this have to be differentiate between effect and get the theme define the goal of the theme. the main objective is to make how even if you get infected, you don't develop a severe disease and you don't get hospitalized mortality. and in this, the maxine is very, very effective. so does that mean that there's no action required, based upon this suggestion, that the 5 vaccine is less effective? it stopping the spread faxing of the at the very end, i would suggest the probably take some action. so with that we'd be taking the response to the increasing k. it's going to be balanced against the really low we

offer shopping. patel is ation. so we know what this means is we may be required to wear must, we may even state the green batch makes only going to crawl spaces. but we don't need to close course, we don't need locals and we don't need to close walk space, which is the main, the most important thing to maintain that one normal. well, at the normal lifestyle, vaccinations, israel half plateaued, is around 60 percent of the population. it's not enough, was obviously, it was enough, becky, a little bit when the main bible, cnc relation was the fact that you know, we've been more effective it is not enough. so we will on one hand, try to increase the boston vaccinate vaccine coverage. but on the other hand,

more closely, what is the real impact of the st creasing infection on the number of severe cases? so should that be more vaccination of teenagers strike sample? is that the next step will on one hand yes, more like selection of didn't include fall to get these more bull portion about 10 percent of people over 50 to get the food vaccine to don't as soon as possible from the shiva medical center, inside of a thanks for joining us on the cove at $900.00 special. thank you. now it's about the program where we put one of your questions to ask science correspondent derek williams. oh, i had cooper 19. how long should i wait to get vaccinated? and should i get one or 2 doses mirror several layers to this question?

and the 1st thing that i want to say that although the data that we have on immunity after infection indicates that protection is probably quite long. lasting health care authorities, like the w h o, and the cdc still recommends that people who've recovered from covered 19 get vaccinated. that's because the evidence also seems to show that a post infection vaccination kind of kicks the immune response up a couple of notches and might make you even less likely to be effective. again, at some point, if you're exposed recommendations for how long you should wait to get backs needed after recovery are, are fairly vague, but basically boil down to waiting at least a couple of weeks. there's not a lot of time pressure, as the vast majority of people who've recovered

a peer well protected from possible reinfection for months. but as of now, authorities definitely recommend. you do get it done if you can. the question of whether you should get one dose or 2 is a little more complex. in a study published in april, for example, us researchers discovered that antibody response and people who recovered from the disease sword, if they got just one shot of a messenger r n, a vaccine to the equivalent of what happened then someone who never been infected after getting to shots other research indicates there might be many added benefits to getting a 2nd shot, which has led authorities, for instance, in some countries here in europe. to recommend most people who tested positive for covered 1900 in the past get just one shot. at least for now, the millions of doses that move saves can then be used to speed up for protection,

for those who have never had the disease. but really nailing down a firm across the board recommendation whether 2 shots is best or if just one really suffices. it looks like that's going to take a while, not least, because the booster effect will differ from person to person and from vaccine to vaccine me. now let's take a look at some of the other around a virus stories making headlines. pakistan has received 3500000 doses of the medina, vaccines, and aided by the united states through the kofax initiative. so far, pakistan has partially vaccinated, around 13 and a half 1000000 people. a welcome news as another wave of the virus is currently spreading through the south asia and doing california has vaccinated its animals

against coven. 19 the oakland zoo says the jobs were donated by a veterinary pharmaceutical company and not taken from vaccine for humans. among the residents receiving the shot to these big cats and a black bear named can and that's all from this addition of the covered $900.00 special until next time i can the, the, the little guy that is the 77 percent the platform for africa due to the issues and share ideas you know, we are not afraid to capture and africa population is willing and young people clearly have the solution. the future is on

we can make a difference by choosing smartness solutions over st said in our ways, the global ideas, environmental theories in on the w ah, the, the next to me is great ice and i was changed from i see in her to send me a little more post well that's an excerpt from the trailer for a net mad. ron,

for the musical film by french director leo's car hocks that opened this years can film festival and without a warm welcome to arts and culture. all phone. finally, its lights, camera, and action on the closet in can the 74th festival has kicked off about 2 months later than usual. due to the pandemic bought the red carpet did not disappoint, and according to predictions, neither were filled. the yes we can. the festival starts back on the red carpet 70 books can film festival opened on tuesday. the jewelry president sprightly, is pretty in pink. and for the 1st time following all the criticism, the jury has more female members than men. center stage at the opening is jodie foster, who has come to pick up a lifetime achievement pump or for her work as well as actress and director. the 1st time she was here in 1976, she was still

a child. the you seem to know that it's a great honor for me. it's more than 45 years since my film taxi driver. one the door here. i'm very grateful for this special moment today just here we're going to fall. this is the magic spike lee had set the tone with a full fright statement as the festivals, 1st like jewelry president, this world's want by gangsters. agent orange is a guy in brazil, and that's the gangsters and they're going to do what i want to do. can 2021. it might get political system. spike lee, not missing his words there. and joining me now live from the closet in can, is, are movie man rock scott rock for great to see you. scott's that we just heard that this festival could get political and certainly a new plant for can,

which has really always prefer to focus on the art of cinema. yeah, that's definitely right. i've been coming here many, many years and can never really present itself as a political festival. they always tried to stay a bit above the fray and say, it was just about the movie than the art of cinema. but i think there's been a lot of real transformative changes in the last few years, particularly political movements like me to or the black lives matter movement, which have ever real profound effect on cinema, on the way movies get made. and very importantly, who's making them and i think those changes made it impossible for can to maintain if it's supposedly politically neutral stamps as well. if you're going to name, swipe lee, jury president, you know, things are going to get political. i mean, this is one of the most outspoken political directors of his generation. and of course, having him as the jury president means there will be

a political plant for this year. okay, so were prepared for that. i didn't treat why this opening film a net, just the trailer alone looks like a default. can you tell us a bit about it? yes, you mentioned it's from the french director as far as adam driver and my uncle, the off. and it's billed a bit as a musical, but i think it's more of a walk opera. so if it's less walla land and more, tommy is basically the story of adam driver of plays a stand up comedian who falls in love with an officer play by my on put he, our driver i think is amazing in this bill. he's, he's, he's, he's like to say toward 40, he's almost a comedian, filled with self loathing. he just pours it out on, on stage, might be on the for the 21st century. lenny bruce and visually the film is just stunning. it's a series of amazing visual set pieces that really deserve an call out to be seen on the big screen. so i think is appropriate that if the opening film of the biggest,

don't battle in the world. now the idea for that film comes from a concept album by the band sparks that's a band with an incredible history. how does this all connect? yeah, the back story. this film was also fascinating. it started as a concept album by sparks. this are pop due to brothers ron and russel male and they had finished the album and then they happened to be here in can 8 years ago i met leo correct by accident and told them about their project and then they sent him the music and he told them this has to be my next movie. so it took 8 long years of preparation. but finally they did make the movie from this concept album. and the spar sparks and, and that are tonight the coast again. incredible stuff. well, they're actually also the subject of a brand new documentary that's also just come out this month as well. and let's have a quick look at that. we are sparks. please welcome bar

. frequently question. how many homes that 25000? all you brothers, we are brothers. how did you 1st meet your brothers music at his desk? here you go. oh my god, what is that? one of my favorite moments that john lennon bringing up ringo starr, you will believe what's on the elevators. so many things that are, that are coming back to me there. scott, why are the sparks brothers finally having this incredible moment in the sun? yeah, it's amazing, really because a ron ross amount have been doing making music for decades. they started in the late sixty's. they're both now themselves in their seventies, but they never really broke through to more than cult status in their entire career . and i think it has something to do with the fact that their music was always way ahead of time. and if you listen to sparks music in the seventy's,

it sounds like the new wave music of the 19 eighties and the found they help pioneer in the, in the eighty's became mainstream only in the 1900 ninety's. but maybe now the world is starting to catch up to sparks. i mean, they as far as generations of musicians back, morrissey, a bjork, i'll cite them as major inspirations. so maybe finally the world is catching up and realizing what incredible legacy sparks have had in music. and of course there's no better place to celebrate that legacy than here at the camp as well, cuz the spark brothers and adore cinema. they certainly do. now. you mentioned just to me how surreal it is to be back in can just quickly, how important is it for the film industry that the festival has finally been able to pick up? again? it's incredibly important. i mean, this can, has been seen as really a symbol that cinema can reopen again. i mean, centers of enclose and so many parts of the world of over a year. now it's,

i was talking to a critic who said, it's almost like we've been, we've been sleeping, must have been asleep. the cinema industry has been asleep for a year and, and can as it's, it's waking up and saying everyone hopes that this festival will really start a rebirth of cinema and the people start going back to the movies again. thanks very much. scott's in cham and we'll speak you again soon or whether it's david chip or fields or norman foster, or daniel leave is kinda most architect, usually commission model makers to create miniature versions of their grand designs . now these can accurately depict the proportions and the layout and architectural finesse of the project in the making. and with so much attention to detail, the unveiling of the models themselves can be quite an event. so we visited the berlin based company vac foods. to learn more about this essential stage. sterling's former tackler center is currently being converted into a new residential quarter. 280 high end departments will be built up with penthouse

flat, selling for some 3000000 euros. right now with all of the construction work, it's difficult to imagine what it will look like. that's where scale model is come in. they can help build up an accurate idea of this new neighborhood. the my architectural models are the most important way of showing what buildings will look like. i'll stick, we can see that when people come to view the models on the checkout. all the details, pete and the apartments little children on line. these models help people get an understanding of real estate projects and individual partners and overnight. and so you get an understanding of the layout and dimensions on the models are much better suited to achieve this than plans or descriptions plan would involve these bottles across the 5 that form for a person based company. the core team consists of 4 architect who met the university. well known studios like that of polish american architect,

daniel leaders pinned the squares, the more yoke, and late iraqi british architect. hi, deed have worked with them. right now, the team is building a model of puerto nico, a large city gate, and the landmark of the german city of trio. the different materials are used for different models, giving them a unique appearance and character. model makers need a range of skills. you need good spatial imagination. this is that's essential for developing 3 models for handling data provided by our client in the, from we call and you need to understand what the architect has some vision to. you also need to be good with your hands going to be doing. so you need a practical intelligency again. these days,

the motor micros use high tech applications like robotics, computer controlled more toys, machines and free day printers. one day, one second, auto making us a vocation that requires a lot of technical training that makes it a very multifaceted and very interesting profession. time. the high end tools we use these days require us just a lot of time planning and producing our projects digitally. the time from only the final piece together of the element is still done by hand and seed that sort of created an interactive exhibit on display at the double oh, $7.00 elements. james bond museum in 0 in austria, where parts of specter featuring daniel craig was shot in 2015. the museum is dedicated to action scenes filmed in this part of the alps recreated in animated

models and 3 d, exhibits created by that phone. or what we aim to establish a so called new craft to us. that means bringing our digital crown to a new level on this. and there are so many new technologies available today like augmented reality for robotics. he basically, impossibilities have not been fully explored and exhausted yet. so we want to get more involved and have drawn up research proposals to this end to. so that's what drives us to our off. and that sort of has created some 3500 architectural models over the past 25 years. works that give us a glimpse of the future because it is good to have a bit of normality not to mentioned glamour backs in the mix. we're leaving with some more impressions of the can film festival opening and the promise of more next

time around all the best from us. and i'm going to the who's the news news news news news into the conflict
