to the point strong and clear position international perspective when it sometimes seems that we are indeed losing the battle against climate change . does that mean a cruel future for the next generation? certainly, that is a possibility. so why are we unwilling to change the way we live on life? find out on to the point to the point dw, the me a quarter of the world's corona virus, deaths have been in latin america. the 3rd of new infections happening in the region. a region where just 3 percent of the population is fully vaccinated. so what's gone wrong?

in some countries, people blame their government to making the wrong moves or making them too late. poverty to playing it's part of making social distancing, impossible. health care systems are overwhelmed. and economy is shrinking. so what hope is that for latin america? i'm robots in berlin. welcome to this covey, 19 special latin america thing and alarming rides. in corona virus infections, the region has the highest cove at $900.00 death rate in the world. brazil has suffered the most fatalities with more than half a 1000000 deaths as followed by mexico. wherever 230000 people have died and peru has nearly 200000 debt with a population of 32000000. see that we use johan ramirez reports from peru where a new variant called lambda has left the public health system there. really

in peru, people are placing their hopes for carving upon damage on vaccination. yet progress is slow on the some 15 percent offer organs have received at least one those one of their worst rates in latin america. but for house work or something ground, it's better than nothing. most of the research that we feel optimistic because people react while to vaccination in parole. in fact, the younger people would like everything to go faster so they can get to vaccinate it soon from a notice all the commerce costs reopened. after a 9 month quarantine, strict safety measures remain in place authorities, cap mandated, using double face must to interest taurus and shopping centers. face shields are widely used and hand washing facilities had been installed in the streets,

but it has not been enough there. all the highest per capita death rate in the world. the government's response to the crisis has been widely criticized and gave those this arrived too late for the management of the pandemic is a complete disgrace, especially for the previous president. one, now at least the pfizer vaccines the last 2 peak stuff, infection seemed to have coincided with deep political crisis, that in both cases, left to massive demonstrations. the 1st one was in november when political instability led to 3 precedents in one week. the 2nd wave of protest is happening right now. the reason a controversial presidential election, one of the candidates cried fraud. why the other claims? there is a plan to tell his victory. supporters from both sides have taken to the streets, according to some experts, these demonstrations could cause

a 4th arise in the faction car. but at this point, the contract can not afford new lock downs. the great this effort mass to be done to vaccinate the population and to start negotiating from now on new generation vaccines for the new bargains that may appear. this is the most effective measure. and the week i've been slowing doing so much on average thorough administers about 350000 bucks in every week. a low figure for a country of more than $33000000.00 authorities have promised that the process will accelerate government forecast estimates that the eligible population will be immunized by the end of 2021 for latin american country with by far the highest number of corona virus cases and death is brazil. we've been speaking to francisco and i still bustos, who is

a senior research and epidemiology and bio statistics as well. do cruise foundation in rio. he says the brazilian government was too slow to accept the severity of cove at 19 main advisors of the government forecasts to very, very modest epidemic with less than 1000 cave death. now we have more than $500000.00 and much probably in very small to have something like $600000.00 that and also the final, the cleaning go beacher as a mild variety of food when actually cookies 19 is a very serious disease. we may need this grant symptoms and some very

severe case. it's a very different disease and date. i just want to talk a little bit more about latin america. if we can. the pan american health organization has talked about that being a glaring vaccine gap that was jot down to i think that latin america should be viewed now as the kinds of patchwork because we have very different pro 5 in terms of axis in x. so use of vaccines. so for instance, there is a good performance by sheeley which is close to the developing countries from western europe, america, israel and the place and brazil. procure then put cheese vaccines with significant delay. so now

we are still be below 14 percent of coverage in terms of the those is enough to protect people. so there is a big gap in brazil to be drafted as soon as possible francisco enough to a bus to us from brazil's as well. do cruise foundation there the health system in cuba, metallic, this region is close to collapse due to the rapid space of the delta variant. health work is to say that running out of medicine, oxygen tank and respirators. government has allocated 36 military doctors and 350 medical students humor times us to relieve some of the pressure that may well cuba is expected to approve one of its vaccines against covey. 19 in the coming days, the regulatory go ahead for the short code up dollar could help speed vaccinations

across latin america where case numbers remain high. but countries are struggling to get doses. for a moment of celebration and havana. last month, the cuban scientist announced the results of their coven, 1900 vaccine trial. the shots, 92 percent reported efficacy rate puts it in the same week as those developed by pharma giants like the by on tech pfizer alliance or remarkable achievement for a tiny island of 11000000 people. havana has 5 cove and 19 vaccine candidates and development. it's been vaccinating its own citizen since may and last month started shipping shots to venezuela, a point of national pride. and also there are no corano. we cubans help others. things that other countries in the world don't do. countries that have more possibilities than we do. and we help those in need without any problem, especially cuba says 30 countries have expressed interest in its vaccines.

but public health officials and even politicians are urging caution cube a state biotech firm hasn't published trial data yet or applied for approval from the world health organization. so this faxing is approved by the international scientific community. we will welcome it, but it must be approved. we venezuelan should not be guinea pigs going yes, but with no end in sight for latin america's vaccine shortage. summer being forced to choose between an unrecognized shot or none at all. now is the boss's right around where we put one of your questions thrust science correspondence. derek with paul in some places, cases rise, but deaths remain low. why does sue's covey to seem to act so differently in different countries? pretty much all experts agree that panoramic statistics are influenced by a range of factors. so let's look at some of the ones that get mentioned

a lot one that's definitely playing a role. nearly everywhere is the under reporting of cases, mortality or both. some countries are better at tracking over 1000 than others, but, but in plenty of places, systems for accounting and tracking disease and death are just inadequate to say the least and, and don't forget that political choices can influence how pandemic numbers are reported. countries where the pandemic is raging, for instance, can basically right off tourism, which, which might wreak havoc with their economies. and that's just one of many possible reasons why politicians might want to play down infection rates. and speaking of politics, how effectively governments have responded to the spread of coven 19 has also

certainly played a role in whether numbers surge or stagnate. then there's demographics as a disease that's really deadly in the elderly. it seems logical, covert 19, would wreak more havoc in aging societies than it does and younger ones, whether a health care system, cope's or collapse, was under the pressure when infection rates spike. that is also definitely had an influence on, on mortality in many places and, and then there's the simple stuff, like just how a country decides to even define a covert infection or a covert death. there are plenty more factors that experts think are playing roles in the apparently different impact the virus was having in different places. but the final one most degree on at this point is vaccine inequity, which is a simple equation compared to too many others in highly vaccinated societies,

death and suffering is tailing off. whereas in many countries with low vaccination rates, the virus might now be striking later. but it's striking very hard me and that's all for this edition. and because it 19 special until next time. ah, we're going to go beyond the obvious as we take on the world. we're all about a story that matter to you. the

5 police and i the we are your next me on fire for mines in the in december 2019 the european council isn't president show me shows embarked on a ground breaking mission. i have a clear job to make you the 1st time a gentleman on the planet by 2050 but not all member states supported and some persuasion is required. the surprising glimpse into the very heart of our negotiations use. money can be

a process flattery and best laid plans often go astray. most of will when the game of diplomatic poker was, the power plays and the lines behind the scenes, the climate summit. august on the w. ah. the the you get this here we are again in can at the long awaited international film festival from impressions from wednesdays, red carpet and the premier of everything went fine. the latest offering by french director, hol, swap was during the wonderful, so famous, so along with her co stars only diesel engine

and without welcome to arts and culture where we'll go live once again through the cam film festival. but before we do this, it's also in the pipeline. the iconic boon chapel in the near cologne is the venue for an encounter between sir william defo and the art of his friend, painter, and director julian snob or cinema is back. the sun is shining and the future looks bright with loads of great films in the offing up the cannes film festival, 24 films this time in competition. and let's get a glimpse of the competition film. everything went fine by acclaimed french director weather zone. as i've mentioned, it's a very down to earth drama, about assisted suicide. that definitely gives the few poles on the heart of the

and joining me once again from cotton is my colleague scott rock throw. scott, it's good to see you in the sun is still shining. a new film by full size is always always an event, of course, because he's so unpredictable. so what's your take on this one? yeah, i cared. yeah, it's you definitely right. i mean those on does everything he does melodrama as he does. he does crime stories. he is mr. easy to thrillers. in this case, though, it's a drama, a very, very simple drama about assisted suicide. sophie muscle plays the grown up daughter who has to help her father in his life. and the interesting thing about this film though, i mean, we've seen this subject of movies before michelle, because more was about this subject. which one here in can the number of years ago . but fossil zones approach is a bit different. he,

he does approach the subject not in a way to that would be controversial, but really in a matter of fact way and even managers to add some, some touches of sort of gallows humor that, that lighting it. a bad it's, i found the best, those all film that he's ever made, but definitely a very gentle and moving portrait of, of an incredibly difficult subject. indeed, well, we have to have a blockbuster in the mix today of course, thought. and there's a new film by tom mccarthy with matt damon. so let's have a quick peek at bill water from our se ah, under port i went to the gold stillwater on it. i thought to be with you. i know that everybody like we have exposed to every possible you get next lawyer. not having doing that myself

. so now i'm trying to get my little girl out of jail. that's all i give a damn about. ok, so that looks like a nail biter. scott, with matt damon in his usual relentless mode. what can you tell us about it? yes, i'll have to be a little bit careful for this don't because it doesn't screen until friday in cancel. i can't give any spoilers, but i can basically say this. my team in place a really rough neck tight guy, guy works on an oil rig. he's a strain from his daughter, but when she is arrested in mar, say, and thrown into jail, accused of murdering someone, he comes to try and help her out. and he tries to clear her name, she claims she is not guilty, and he tries to negotiate the, the french legal system and, and sort of investigate the case himself without speaking any french. so it's of course directed because as you mentioned that the director this from the director

of spotlight, which was oscar oscar winning film. and so a lot of people looking at this movie to see if it could be an awards container on a more historical plant director, todd haynes is back with a brand new documentary on the band velvet underground. so let's just take a quick look at how that sounds. church music, which never is land or sea alone blooms with the air inside the mind. patterns in motion and actually knows. moving with nat in the heart, the very much reflecting the times there. i know you're enthusiastic about this one . got so tell us more. yeah, i mean i'm a huge, huge fan of velvet underground. so any documentary for me would be preaching to the choir but, but this is really, really interesting film i taught in courses, but for and for his features,

films like carol or far from heaven. what he does here is he, i think, really gets under the skin of the ban. so what made velvet underground so special, both their music and, and sort of the art that they, that they created and uses, you know, incredible archive footage the music of course. and then a lot of really interesting interviews with the surviving numbers, the band and people who knew them. and so if you're a huge fan like myself, obviously you're gonna love this movie. but i think it's also a great introduction to people who don't even maybe never heard of velvet underground of the band. okay. now there's another documentary about a famous star, but this one's a very intimate portrait by shop, not young booth about her famous mother jane. i have a little tv long fall, believe it. so she told me all i wanted to take. i'm not sure i

just went to the phone in time. so some emotional stuff there after thinking and acting, this is charlotte young rules for sab, directing. how does it tally up? yeah, no, it's very interesting. of course, he's really already a legendary actor. and as soon as you mentioned, but this is her 1st film as a director. what's interesting about this movie is it's not your typical a documentary sort of the life and kind of documentary doesn't look into jane burkins incredible carrier as an actress. instead, it's a very personal documentary. it's shot guns book against looking at her mother and been trying to understand her mother and really both their own relationship and against looking at that in doing the documentary and having to have the distance of

having a camera in between them. she was able to talk to her mother away, she never had been before and actually get a level of intimacy that they had not existed before. so i very fascinating a film, especially if you're a fan of either of these 2. i mean, the thing, actresses. ok, scott, well, i wanted to ask you one more question, but i'm afraid i think we've run out of time. i'll be fine. man of walt with sheer fame also has a new spin on and frank, but we'll have to get to that another time. thanks very much for joining us from the quiz that's in can and thanks for those insights and happy viewing for the rest of it. thank you. oh, back to germany now and what does an artist do when he learns that a close friend has passed? well, he paints or sculpt or in some way, tries to create, to defy the intimate ability of death. all american painter julian novel did just that when his long time friend site warmly died back in 2011. the works are now on

show near cologne, in germany, where another old friend came by to give them their due. ah, the 1950s chapel bills 5, pretty good price. we're not gonna treat an architectural gem and for the past 10 years, a venue for chop exhibitions, hollywood act village, defo. i'm friend of all systems. julian novel has been shooting a film nearby on a day off. he came to take in an exhibition of large format, novel paintings. ah, when i'm here by myself, i took it all in and of course, america of this show. and i'm not saying that just to be pollyanna positive. is it so well integrated these pieces look like it was made for,

for this specific chapel. and it all comes together just purely and symbolically and there's, there's a dialogue going on here. but they're all speaking the same language, all these elements. judy and novel, dedicated least work to his friend, the painter sy tombly, who died 10 years ago. the series is called on the day side died. we caught up with the painter and film directive. i assume at his home in montauk, on america's east coast, shaky camera work, we cooked dub, novel, free style. i painted them out here. i painted them the day that i found the site died. my daughter lola called me from italy, she was there. so i was 6 hours ahead of us and you told me i was dead and i had this material around and i laid the things out and pain the pain it

ah them outside. i just wanted to paint the pain and i didn't think of where they were going to go. everything is not so premeditated. you know, in 10 years old they seem to have found the home here. the large dock campuses were created by applying every like white paint to top holdings taken from military trucks or so elemental fits with the kind of clean, clean this of the chapel and also just that kind of austerity of matters spiritually. let's get serious knock against some crosses. ah

julian, julian, i'm looking at your paintings from this beautiful place and the roof is floating. i think this is a calorie of the paintings and the size of them. they also relate to sculptures and things that are in the physical world. so they're not really just pictures of things. they are things ah, ah, what a fascinating encounter there with some memories of the last temptation of christ. i'm sure going through his mind. well, finally, a very different immersive art experience, a weight visitors in mexico city as a new exhibition takes them into the world of iconic painter feeder carlo. the walk through digital installation celebrates her life and was especially timed for her

100 and 14th birthday on wednesday. so we will leave you with some images about an until next time from all of us here in berlin. go well, the, who's the news. the news, the news

ah, to the point, strong opinion, clear positions, international perspective. when it sometimes seems that we are indeed losing the battle against climate change, does that mean a cruel future for the next generation? certainly possibility. so why are we so unwilling to change the way we live our lives point to add on to the point, to the point dw, ah, excuse me, sometimes a seed is all you need to allow big ideas to grow. when bringing environmental conservation to life with learning like mobile and we will show you

how climate change and mental conservation is taking around the world and how we can make a difference. knowledge grows through sharing, download it now. imagine how many pushed out in the world right now. the climate change very call the story life less the way from just one week. how much was going to really get we still have time to go. i'm doing all this system scribe or more like me. ah
