will you describe the open over mentioned home the for time the most resting that we can about the family that the last dragon had called to home. you books on news? ah, this is date of the news and these are the top stories. the u. s. is denying claims by cuba communist regime that is to blame for a wave of anti government protest. cubans took to the streets in their thousands on sunday, protesting against food shortages, rising prices and record over 19 infection. he was president joe biden hailed for demonstration, saying the cuban people demanding freedom from an authoritarian regime.

scaffold broke out in georgia parliament on monday and made continued calls for the prime minister to resign. journalists and opposition politicians clashed with lawmakers demanding he stand down over the deck of a journalist, cameraman, alexander lash rabbit, was found dead at his home on sunday, after being beaten during a protest against an l. g. b t. keep pride bonds in the capital. tbilisi british police have began investigating races abuse aimed at 3 england players who missed penalties in the euro. 2020 final against italy. football is marcus rash that jayden santo and the 2nd with the victims of races, comments on social media, africa. she is date of the news from berlin moore on our website. that's d w dot com. ah, oh, pfizer, in bio and tech se they are developing a corona virus booster vaccine targeting the del, to various do we need a booster?

the vaccines are working and health authorities in the us say, no one will need a 3rd shot anytime soon. well, that is the positive outlook that u. k. prime minister bores johnson was trying to tap into today when he confirmed that england will lift all pandemic restrictions next week. despite more and more you infections. how dangerous is this? is it premature? johnson says it's cautious, progress, and that it's waited long enough on bread, gulf and berlin. this is the day. the news this pandemic is not pleased to get vaccinated. it will protect you against the surgeon of the delta. very, please get back to me. now please go and get back to go back

to the native and do it today, do not delay. the vaccine is the k to out rate if we just need to get vaccinated. that's the way we be. some variance, our hope was still is that with vaccination that we would take the pain, the tragedy in the suffering. and also coming up on sunday, he flew to the edge of the outer space and into the history books. sir richard branson is now an astronaut tourist, and he says soon, you'll be able to be one to the next generation, the dreamer raven, the just imagine what you can do. so i went to our viewers on p b. s in the united states into all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the day with the mixed messaging about how best to protect ourselves against the corona virus. pfizer in buying on tech, say they are now working on a booster vaccine

a 3rd shot. and they site their study in israel showing, waiting efficacy as the delta variant has emerged. but public health authorities in the us are pushing back the centers for disease control and the food and drug administration. both saying that current data do not show a need for a booster shot. now that may change, but as the science stands now, people need 2 shots, not 3, a year and a half into this pandemic. we are still struggling to communicate with one voice and one message just asked the people in england. one week from today, all remaining payment restrictions will be lifted and that despite a continuing rise in new infections, today, u. k prime minister boris johnson said the public must be cautious and yet he said, the public cannot wait any longer. but what does that mean when face masks and social distancing are no longer mandated? here is the u. k. prime minister. we cannot simply revert instantly from monday,

the 19th of july to life as it was before k did. we will stick to our plan to lift legal restrictions and to lift social distancing. but we expect and recommend that people where a face covering in crowded and enclosed spaces where you come into contact with those. you don't normally meet, such as on public transport where removing the government instruction to work from home where you can. but we don't expect that the whole country will return to that desk as one from much less bringing doctor william chapter. he's an infectious diseases professor at vanderbilt university school of medicine in nashville, tennessee. dr. schaffner, it's good to see you again. the lancet medical journal says that it is dangerous and premature to lift all restrictions in england as new cases of the delta variant . so, or is this the case of the too much too soon?

well, you know, the combination of vaccine and restrictions will restrict the spread of this virus and it's difficult country to country to get actually a good balance. one that will work locally and will be accepted by the populace. certainly, the more we vaccinate, we can ease up on some of those restrictions. we know the case with england at the number of hospitalizations and deaths from cooper 19 are not increasing, but the number of new infections that number is. is it then safe to assume that this trend will not change in england? well, i think it is very likely that the law we get vaccinated to fewer and fewer hospitalizations will be required. you know, that's actually what the vaccines were designed to do. to prevent serious disease. they are less effective in preventing infection,

which can have no symptoms or only mild symptoms. and so the spread of this virus isn't painted by the vaccines, but not as completely as we would have hoped for. i want to ask you about what is going on on your side of the atlantic, pfizer and by, on tech saying that they are developing a booster shot vaccine. and they're pointing to their own study in israel. but all of the data has been mounting that shows that the vaccines provide a lasting protection. so this really is shocked, as it almost seems like it came out of nowhere. what's your take? well, i don't think it's a good idea to make recommendations by press release, and certainly on the good side these vaccines continue to provide durable protection. we're out to lunch to a year now. and so the protection in the field in the real world is not diminishing

number to the vaccine to protect against the variance that are currently a problem, particularly the delta. very so that's why the cdc in the food and drug administration is wonderful to have a booster available on the shelf book. we don't need to implemented at the present time. and i certainly agree with that. yeah. and you know, we don't want to accuse pfizer and buy on tech of, of trying to push up their, their profit margin here. but this quick drive to get a booster vaccine on the market. it makes people wonder, you know, whose interests are the pharmaceuticals really working in well, i'd like to stay away from that question and just remind everybody that including my friends and industry that they should be communicating with the f t. m. the cdc . it only creates confusion that they come out with press release and in the,

in the public. but the cdc is really pretty clear at the moment. we don't need a booster. we need to focus continuously on people who haven't gotten their 1st shot. rather than worrying about people who want their 3rd, you know, and you mentioned this communication and these competing narratives that were getting on both sides of the atlantic. they show was that one and a half years into this pandemic, we are still struggling to communicate effectively and to communicate in one voice army. i'm afraid we are, you know, if you had asked many of us before cove it, what's the most important aspect of controlling any new pandemic? and i think many of us would have said communication, communication, communication, clear science space, coherent, not from the politicians, but from public health authorities. we still haven't completely learned that lesson

. i think almost anywhere. and, and i wonder for our viewers tonight, i want to ask about the situation in the united states. well, we have you here. almost all new cases are new infections that are being reported now are in people who have not been vaccinate, is that correct? pad is a very powerful statement because it is correct. people who are being admitted to the hospital are in behind 90 percent, unvaccinated or move only received one dose. it really is very unusual to have an unvaccinated person currently being hospitalized. number one, that's a testimony to the effectiveness of ac seem. and number 2 is tragic because it lets you know that virtually all these admissions could have been prevented. and those persons receive faxing. that is the tragedy that continues almost 2 years into this

pandemic. doctor williams chapters always start to shaft. it's good to talk with you. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. always a pleasure. we'll england says that the success of its vaccination drive is allowing the remaining pandemic restrictions to be lifted next week, half of the population is fully vaccinated. more than 80 percent have had one shot of the situation across the channel. and france is very different. only a 3rd of people there are fully vaccinated and with a delta cobit 19 variant running. why in the country? the government is turning to ever more drastic measures to contain it. today for president micron announced that the corona virus vaccination will be compulsory for all health care workers. you do live, we must move towards the vaccination of every one in france because it's the only way to return to normal life. initially for nursing and non nursing staff in

retirement homes, clinics, hospitals, establishments for people with disabilities. for volunteers who work in contact with elderly or fragile people, including at home vaccination will be made compulsory without delay. probably get well so that don't, macro is likely to face opposition in his bid to make the vaccination compulsory and the health care sector. vaccine skepticism is higher in france than a neighboring countries. this lack of trust in the vaccine. it has spread to health care workers themselves. the w lisa lewis, reports celine has had her handful during the pandemic, hoping some of the mason brown level at this retirement home southeast of paris to protect them. the assisted nurse has been wearing masks and gloves, but there is one precaution. she'd rather not take, at least not for now. i don't care, but that it was still want to wait

a bit longer before i guess. i mean, i do know we need to know more about these new vaccines 1st before the government got lots of things wrong at the beginning of the pandemic. i don't want to rush in today. no precipitously shows. like her almost half of francis nursing stuff has not yet been immunized. but forcing them to would be unfair, says joselyn to wear the pandemic hero the now or the black sheet because we prefer to wait before guessing that that makes me so angry to feel a probably guess it just leads manager agrees. she says, such rules would cause major problems for the nursing home home, you know, they should try something instead of forcing the already struggling fine personnel and several of our highly qualified jackson. and i've said that if they had to get the vaccine, they'd rather quit their jobs. yes. so do do that stuff. but this far all just

things that if france is going to prevent the next k with 1900 away from overwhelming hospitals, vaccination will be crucial. and that includes health work as near port to have a 12 on cast books on the vaccine give 95 percent protection against severe symptoms. so if we need to guess 80 or 90 percent of the population immunized, we will walk, you know, especially with the delta variants. know which of those in an infected person impacting up to one other for my, my pick the stock number you know, so for just over one 3rd of the french population is fully vaccinated. and the number of 1st jobs per day has been falling over recent weeks. but the government knows that time is of the essence. that's why it has been ramping up its campaign

to push people to go back sunday, in the media through post, and with a temporary vaccination kind of like this one just outside paris city. for here, you can get a code with 9 teams app without having to book a slot, and it's non making health care workers get vaccinated might help the country approach the crucial vaccination threshold. but reaching it remains an appeal truck to south africa has deployed, gets military to push back in stop violence that was sparked after a former president jacob zoom turned himself into the police. at least 6 people had died. hundreds moore had been arrested south africa. the highest court has begun hearing zoom as appeal against his 15 month prison sentence, for contempt. presidents here or foes, has called for common to country warning that the unrest could lead to shortages of food and medicine. soldiers gone the streets of south africa. they're there to

protect police after protests, month by looting and destruction of property became more violent. looters, plundered a large shopping mall in durban overnight. it's one of many businesses in the port city that were ransacked over the weekend. another shopping mall lies in ruins. in peter math book, some 80 kilometers from durden. the unrest has been mainly concentrated in the south eastern province, of course, in a town. during this whole region, many of his supporters, they were angered by zoom in 15 months. dow time employed for failing to appear at corruption inquiry, but now the violence is also sprayed to johannesburg. south africa's economic panel health with police rich been the army, will deploy troops to the 2 most affected regions. although these may be

opportunistic acts of looting driven by hardship and poverty, the poor and the marginalized bed that are to made branch of the destruction that is currently underway. duma is popular among many of south africa is less well off. his imprisonment has laid bad deed divisions in the country. or earlier we spoke with our correspondent christine, while she is in cape town, we asked her who was behind this unrest. it started out with the people in the hands pointing out before the president's support is to go and pray against his incorporation. his imprisonment, i'm so initially rein purchases were coming out with the blocking roads and creating also pay on. they were saying that this is in the name of the for the president, mr. to be freed back. it is now the to ration way he can see they are criminal

intimate. now you've got a bad reminder. a lot of the people that we see carrying out the b. s for these people come from under privileged communities. we have them on a policy and unemployment here in south africa. you can see that what people walking in the shop, the ceiling, basic items in many cases, low the bedding and items of the night. there was now in, in the midst of opportunity, the criminality taking place, people taking advantage of the situation, young children involved in this losing elderly people as well. so there was some incitement from mackenzie initially mobilizing support is sharing support is on, in terms of the retreat some of these videos with people with anything putting more people to do the same thing in the name of but it's not walk into a complete chaotic situation. where there are different motivations that believe that was, are correspond, christine one by their reporting from cape town. the aster note there is

there one richard branson. i'll be evaluating the customer space flight experience . well that was sir richard branson on sunday ahead of that maiden flying to the edge of space in his virgin galactic unity space. plain branson and 5 crewmates blasted all from the mother ship at 3 times. the speed of sound reached an altitude of 86 kilometers above the great. all of that was a picture perfect landing 100 and when our spaceports in the us state of new mexico branson is passenger number one, as you heard tickets for future passengers. i called about a quarter of a $1000000.00 just to experience a few minutes. 0 g branson is one of 3 billionaires along with the amazon found to jeff bezos and anyone most buying to usher and a new era,

a private commercial space travel branch and got to space 1st, but he insist, it's not a race. i don't know. i've said this so many times, it really wasn't erase that. we're just delighted that everything went so fantastically well. we wish jeff the absolute best and his the people are getting up within during his flight. i from were now when the bringing keep telling he's editor of the space of these websites, nasa watch dot com. he's also a veteran of nasa. he joins me now from washington. d. c. keith, it's good to see you again. what did you think yesterday when you were probably watching, like the rest of us watching this on television and saw him now go to the edge of space in his space point? well, i mean, as a person i, when do i get to go? i mean, i've had to train, i've done the set of each month and here gravity stuff. and quite frankly, as a senior citizen, i went through with flying colors. anybody can do this. the issue is,

as you mentioned, it cost a little bit of money right now. you know, it's kind of interesting. you're asking me the billionaire question, these are branson isn't the 1st 1000000000 here to go into space. charles to moni has been to the international space station twice. he's a billionaire and a half a dozen other people with net values of 100000000 each. so this isn't the 1st time a rich person's gone into space and won't be the last but you know, you'll probably be asking me in a bit. where does it go? the 1st people to do something unusual, usually have something unusual about themselves where they're skilled. in this case it's, well, i was going to say if you're retired and you want to go up there, maybe they'll offer you a senior citizens are retired discount. i don't know. you have to ask sir richard branson about that. but let me ask you, what does this represent moving forward? can we say that yesterday we'll go down in the history books as the beginning of commercialized space, travel space tourism. well,

it depends. you know where he stand depends where you sit. technically dennis. tito bought a see almost 20 years ago and like i said, half a dozen or so all the people have as well. but that was one of the things that a russian spacecraft there were governments involved and so forth. this flight, however, richard branson and his company have built the spacecraft themselves from scratch. they funded it themselves. and so now you've got a space point space space line. if you will. you can actually buy a ticket or if course you've got the money. hundreds of people already bought these tickets, so as soon as they get a few other things fixed in terms of the, the, the, the space flight experience. you're going to see this become a regular thing. course at the same time, blue origin which basis is going to be launching their vehicle with people in less than a week. so, you know, it goes from a couple people to a bunch of people to, if it works, a lot of people. well, i mean, this is about economies of scale,

right? if i was watching the mother ship and the space plane yesterday, and i, you know, if you, let's say you produced a 100 of these, you could in theory, have one take off from spaceport there in new mexico every hour carrying passengers up. i mean, what's not the stuff area, right? exactly as the thing is now this, this whole thing is re usable. so it's usually just the fuel, the engine. and so you invest a lot of money to do it the 1st time, but then the next 10th and twenty's and $100.00 time, it's just buying fuel. and you'll find, for example, that with the blue origin ship, again, they just reuse everything space x is building already using reusable rockets, they're building a larger starship, which not only will be able to take people into space and maybe to the moon, but it may be able to do what's called a sub orbital hop, where you go from, you know, london to being in 40 minutes clean the same rocket. and again, just reuse it and you're just rolling it up like you, if you've ever been on an airplane, they put the fuel in the plane. it doesn't cost more than

a few $100.00 or few $1000.00 gets reused again and again. but the trick, you know, here's the tricky, you can ask me this. these 3 people know be up there, billionaires got to be 1000000000 years goes, they do business and they figured out how to get customers to buy their, their products, and then get more customers. and you end up with money, so these guys are just, you know, some people say throwing their money into the when there's some smart behind this when they're all work out. when finance, you know, we don't. yeah we, we don't know, but it's looking good right now. i was wondering why, why hasn't the airline industry to, you know, today been able to tap into this technology so that we can fly, let's say, from london to new york. you know, with one of these really high altitude flights. and let's say 2 hours, maybe kind of like the concord, you know, 3 point. i mean, why are we there yet? well, the concord lee flew for a long time because it had a lot of government assistance. and of course, richard branch does own an airline. it's been hacked to,

he has an a company that launches on me rockets into space with one of his old airliners. and in some cases, sometimes to change an industry, you have to reinvent it. and right now, you know, the commercial airline industry has very good at flying. a lot of people and people are in a big hurry. but you know, there's millions of millionaires out there who will pay for this privilege. and if you look back at how we align started, yeah, you know, this is sort of built the trash talk thing that we've been talking about. well, back of the, you know, century ago you had the year, like starting up with one trip or t n. m. and they were sort of brash about these things and their flights were expensive, but then somebody figured out to do a cheaper now you and i fly without thinking about it. and i'm pretty sure we'll forget a lot of this rich guy thing. what would you say then, where are we at the stage? maybe of like the white brothers in the asian? or are we further along than that? i mean, if you want to draw the parallels there. no, yes. i mean,

believe we stand on the shoulders of giants, the wright brothers being some of the original. so, you know, coming up with new technologies, now you're building on things that we know to work. and in the case of these 3 companies, they've put it together in a way that the government space agencies, for one reason or another really never had an incentive to do so they're just learning from the people came before them and the people before them. and so, but again, the trick is, you know, if it's a commercial entity, you've got to figure a way to be efficient and safe and, you know, find a way that the money is going to come in see reinvested it. and, you know, there's many examples of technologies that started off like federal express. why do i need it there overnight? now i just finished something today. i mean, it's like you can't live without it now. that's right. that's right. well, if you, if you get that senior citizen discount for your flight out of space, let us know. keep telling as always keep you're required to ok. i would do that. we'll do that. good talk with you keith. thank you.

the finally tonight, a wedding anniversary that not many couples will get to celebrate former us president jimmy carter and his wife rosalyn hill, the gathering this weekend to mark 75 years of marriage among the well wishers who made the journey to the carter's home town. the plains, georgia, or bill and hillary clinton hands at $96.00. carter is the oldest living, former us president. he and rosalind also hold the record for the longest married presidential couple in american history. wow. and it's wonderful. well the day is almost done. the conversation continues online, you'll find us on twitter either the w news, you can follow me and brent got tv every member, whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day. we'll see you then everybody who's the news.

the news the news the the way travel back in time to watch football is wicked, expel, and ramon. and now the tourism is a matter of fact. i also have no treasures

stolen for more zones. wonders included for the international art market. collectors, extremely valuable pieces from the middle east, which scratched top sizes at european auction houses and immoral business that fills the coffers of terrors. faction in blood treasures in 45 minutes on d. w. o. ah news, or we can do this commerce carrier climate change. while people are thinking in the rain forest continued, carbon dioxide emissions have risen again. young people all over the world are committed to climate protection. what impact willing is

because change doesn't happen on its own. the make up your mind. w. 4 lines. when i got off the bus, they yelled and 10 gays and one i said, all right guys, and then i got a couple of girls on the dog and i believe the oh, it starts with the jury.
