one that i think is, and i had a serious problems on a personal level, and i was unable to live, there wasn't gonna, ah, you want to know their story, migrant clarified and reliable information from me . the this is dw news and these are on top stories. the u. s. is denying claims by keith is communist regime. that is to blame for a wave of anti government protest. keven took to the streets in their thousands on sunday, protesting against food shortages, rising prices and record over 19 infection. us president joe biden hale for demonstration saying the cuban people demanding freedom from an authoritarian regimes. scuffles broke out in georgia parliament on monday and made

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 boris 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. i bring gulf and berlin. this is the day the news this pen, demik is not over please get vaccinated. it will protect you against the surging of the delta variance. please get faxes and now please go and get back to tonight as goals that related and do it the day. do not delay. the vaccine is

the k through our radar. we just need to get a fax and that's the way we beat them area. and our hope was and still is that with vaccination that we would take the pain, the tragedy of the suffering 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 as soon you'll be able to be one to the next generation of variables. if justin, i don't what you can do. oh, i went to our viewers on p b. s in the united states into all of the 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 cite their study in israel showing waning efficacy as the delta variance has emerge. 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 ask 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 mandate? 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 live legal restrictions and to live social distancing. but we expect and recommend the 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 shafter. 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 a 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 farm 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 code 19 are not increasing, but the number of new infections that number is. is it then save to assume that this trend will not change in england? well, i think it is very likely that the more we get vaccinated, the 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. i'm 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 vaccines protect against the variance that are currently a problem, particularly the delta vary. so that's why the cdc and the food and drug administration said it's 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 by, 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 interest 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 d a. m, the cdc. it only creates confusion if they come out with press releases 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 would want their 3rd, you know, and you mentioned your communication, i mean these competing narratives that were getting on both sides of the atlantic. the show was that one and a half years into this pandemic, we are still struggling to communicate effectively and 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. new infections that are being reported now are in people who have not been back today. is that correct? pad is a very powerful statement because it is correct. people who are being admitted to the hospital or in the high nineties percent, unvaccinated or moved 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 axing. and number 2 is tragic because we let you know that virtually all these admissions could have been prevented. had those persons receive faxing. yeah, and that is the tragedy that continues almost 2 years into this pandemic. dr.

william shafter is always talking to sharon, it's good to talk with you. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. always a pleasure. will england says that the success of its vaccination drive is allowing the remaining payment restrictions to be lifted next week, half of the population is fully vaccinated, more than 80 percent have had one shot. well, the situation across the channel in 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 everyone in france because it's the only way to return to normal life. initially for nursing and 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. hopefully get well saw that now micron is likely to face opposition in his bid to make the vaccination compulsory and the health care sector. vaccine skepticism is higher in france that in neighboring countries this lack of trust in the vaccine. it has spread to health care workers themselves. the w lisa lewis reports just celine has had her hand full during the pandemic, hoping some of the most vulnerable at this time and home south, east 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 for the work you want to wait

a bit longer before i guess. i mean, i do know we need to know more about these new vaccine 1st. roll the government because a lot of things wrong at the beginning of the pandemic. so i don't want to rush into this. i'm at no precipitate shows like her almost for francis nursing stuff have not yet been immunized, but forcing them to would be unfair. says just really, natalie, to wear the pandemic heroes and now we're the black sheep because we prefer to wait before guessing that makes so angry. 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 black already struggling fine personnel. i'm several of our highly qualified staff. the name of said that if they had to get the vaccine, they'd rather quit their jobs. probably. yes. so do do that stuff. but this far

ologist things that a france is going to prevent the next k with 1900 way from overwhelming hospital's vaccination will be crucial. and that includes health workers near port to have a 12 cast books on the vaccine give 95 percent protection against severe symptom. the coffee list say you need, we need to guess 80 or 90 percent of the population immunized, especially with the delta variant nor which are those in an infected person infecting of a one others. this one, i'm a 50 thought to a huge number to ski know so from 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. is campaign to push people to go back

tonight in the media through pace. and with him from where we vaccination campus, like this one, just outside harris city hall. here you can get a code with 19 jap without having to book a slot, and it's on making health care workers get vaccinated might help the country approach the vaccination threshold. but reaching it remains an appeal struggle to south africa has deployed, gets military to push back in stop violence that was sparked after former president jacob zoom a turned himself into the police. at least 6 people had died. hundreds more had been arrested. south africa as high as court has begun hearing zoom as appeal against his 15 month prison sentence for contempt. presidents here or am a photo 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,

then to protect police after protests, month by looting and destruction of property became more violent. looters plundered a large shopping mall in durban over night. it's one of many businesses in the port city that will ransacked over the weekend. another shopping mall lies in ruins, in peter maddox book, some 80 kilometers from durban. the unrest has been mainly concentrated in the south eastern province. of course, you will in a town dream as harm region. many of his supporters, they are angered by zoom, it's 15 months. dow time employed for failing to appear as corruption inquiry. but now the violence is also sprayed to johannesburg, south africa's economic panel hill. we'd police rich things. the army will deployed fruits 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. gina is popular among many of south africa is less well off. his imprisonment has laid bad divisions in the country. or earlier we spoke with our correspondent christine, why she is in cape town. we asked her who was behind this unrest. it started out with the people in the room i can pointing out the former president's support is to go and pray against his in cooperation. his imprisonment done so initially when they were coming out where they were blocking roads and creating also chaos. they were saying that this is in the name of the for the president, mr. to be freed back. it is now at the to ration way. he can see they are criminal

intimate. now you've got a bad reminder. a lot of the people that will be carrying out these bindings. these people come from under privileged communities. we have them on policy and unemployment. here in south africa, you can see that what people walking is the shop stealing 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 again, there was some incitement from this in macapp. 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 play and that was our correspondent christine one by that reporting from cape town. the

astor note there is there a one richard branson i'll be evaluating the customer space flight experience. well that was sir richard branson on sunday. ahead of that made the flight to the edge of space in his virgin galactic unity. space plane, branson and 5 crewmates blasted off from the mother ship at 3 times the speed of sound and reached an altitude of 86 kilometers above the great. all of them was a picture perfect landing in one hour spaceports in the us state of new mexico. branson is passenger number one as you heard tickets for future passengers. that cost 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 jeff bezos and most buying to usher and a new era,

a private commercial space. travel branch got to space 1st, but he insists it's not a race. i don't know. her said there's so many times it really wasn't erase. yeah, that were just delighted that everything went on tacitly. well. we wish jeff the absolute best and his the people are getting up within during his flight i from were now when bringing keep calling. he's editor of the space needs 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 go to the edge of space in his space plane? well, i mean, as a person, i will do, i get to go. i mean, i've had the training, i've done the center of each runs 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 is that like a half a dozen other people with net values of $100000000.00 each? so this isn't the 1st time a rich person is going to space and won't be the last one. but, you know, as you'll probably be asking me to bit, where does it go? the 1st people to do something unusual, usually have something unusual about themselves. whether it's skilled in this case it's, well, i'm 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 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 c almost 20 years ago and like i said, half a dozen, 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 white, however richard branson and his company have built this space, got themselves from scratch, they funded themselves. and so now you've got to a space point space, space line, if you will. you can actually buy a ticket or if to 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, you, i mean, this is about economies of scale, right? i was watching the mother ship and the space plane yesterday. and i,

you know, if you, let's say you produced 100 of these, you could in theory, have one take off from spaceport there in new mexico every hour carrying passengers up with me. what's not. right? exactly as the thing is now this, this whole thing is reusable, so it's usually just a 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 in their 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 barbara to hop, where you go from, you know, london to brisbane in 40 minutes clean. yes. the same rocket and again, just reuse it and you're just, you only get up like you, if you've ever been on the airplane, they put the fuel in the plane. it doesn't cost for the $200.00 or few $1000.00

gets reused again and again. but the trick, you know, here's the tricky going to ask you 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 money into the when there's some smart behind this, or it'll work out when finance, you know, with it. 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,

is that he has an, a company that launches on may 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 applying 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 the privilege. and if you look back at how we align started, yeah, you know, this is sort of build the trash talk thing that we've been talking about. well back at the, you know, century ago you had the airlines starting up with one trip at 10 am and they were sort of brash about these things and their flights were expensive, but then somebody figured out how to do it 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 wright brothers in the asian? or are we further along than that? i mean, if you want to draw parallels there, know, and 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's going to come in see reinvested it. and, you know, there's many examples of technologies that have started off like the real express. why do i need it there overnight? now, i just bet 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 citizens discount for your flight, the outer space, let us know. keep telling is always keep your classic. ok. i would do that. we'll do that. can talk with the key. thank you.

the final leads in either wedding anniversary that not many couples will get to celebrate. the former us president jimmy carter and his wife, rosalind held the gathering this weekend remarked 75 years of marriage among the well wishers who made the journey to the carter's home town. the plains, georgia, rebuild, and hillary clinton, the hand at $96.00. carter is the oldest living, former us president. he and roslyn also hold the records were longest. mary presidential couple in american history. wow. and it's wonderful. well the day is almost done. the conversation continues online, you find us on twitter, either the w news, you can follow me and print, got tv, every member, whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day. we'll see you then everybody the
