what kind of exhausting remote and now the presence is a matter of fact. i also have no tickle in 60 minute w me ah, strict lumped down saved lives. that's new zealand philosophy for dealing with cove at $191.00 avoided them, preferred tests, quarantines and mosques to contain the viruses spread. initially both islands enjoyed success. but that changed for taiwan. what happened at is one government approach beta. ah, welcome to the show line, ben for jewel. and today we'll be talking to the co author of the report assessing

the outbreak responses of new zealand and tie one it was recently hit by the alpha variant. it hit hard despite the government's expertise and dealing with outbreaks of other diseases like saws running in and out every day. 39 year old mister chan delivers 300 orders a week. the reason copied outbreak and tie one has brought him more orders, but he has to take more risks since nearly 85 percent of taiwan population isn't vaccinated. i know i live with my 5 children, my wife and my mother. you asked me if i'm worried about them. of course i am. i had so many children and i worry that i might get them infected to leave johnny bravo. as a father of 5, he has no choice, but to go out and make money. that you want, so i hope the government can offer food delivery drivers, vaccines as soon as possible. but you know,

we're in contact with so many people doesn't. it's not hundreds every day by the, you know, too many are still waiting. the vaccination program for high risk groups started rolling in june so far, just 15 percent of high ones, 23500000 people have been vaccinated. there isn't enough vaccine to portal us. only when we have an vaccines can we do mass explanation? the 1st layer protection for all of the people some say success containing the virus. and the insistence on developing domestic vaccines might have delayed high ones vaccine acquisition. and it was our ms judgment on last year. not being able to, for seeing that there will be such a vacuum shortage. and we might have being a bit too confident about what we could do in terms of our own

dramatically develop the vac seems to taiwanese drug makers revealed phase to clinical trials in june and applied for emergency use authorization. but their effectiveness still needs to be examined, whether it's applications or not still remains the open question, but at least there sufficient scientific data to think it might be efficacious in such regards. it just to have it approved, in case of need to someone can use it while the tower need vaccines. a wait authorization, the government is trying its best secure, more jobs overseas. so that people like mr. chan no longer need to worry that they and their families could get infected. amanda closer it is, an epidemiologist at the university about taco, wellington,

what went wrong in taiwan? in your opinion? it's been very hard watching time long struggle to contain this very large up for like someone has done so well. photon independent, haven't post public infrastructure as the response of connections in the south. it's been interesting to see how different ones response has been compared to museums in museums. when we have breaks, we react very swiftly and very decisively to extinguish them straight away. and sometimes that means straight into the short, sharp locked down town. on the other hand has avoided using locked down as a panoramic response. and that may have kept the break going a little longer than if needed. and a matter of what i find striking when we look at the numbers is that outbreak you

mention in taiwan. and in comparison to new zealand numbers, the spike is really sudden and then tie one managers to bring those numbers back down, but not to the level of new zealand being enjoying the whole way through this pandemic . they've managed to keep the numbers down so low. what's it done, right? i think the most important things that museum has got right is to have the right strategy and it's diminished and strategy, the strategy census population, how we don't tolerate cases in the community. we react to even just one positive case of community by moving to extinguish that outbreak as quickly as possible. that's meant that because of the cases when she deaths, health services have continued to operate. it's protect me. it's protected us of

the credence and a lot of things that come right just from that initial impulse to protect your population. what i think is also really important to point out is that both countries a slow to immunize which is a problem in taiwan, but not from new zealand. where you can argue that on both sides, actually, on the one hand, yes, you doesn't need vaccines. and vaccine should be used in classes we're still occurring that should be used in texas where that can immediately save lives . on the other hand, we do feel vulnerable. we know that we get some our break most of our population. still, i'm fascinated, but couldn't, and even more virulent and infectious strain pop up at any time and hit new zealand to that's right. and when they learned about that, in fact,

few weeks ago, an australian travel to new zealand, i spent the weekend in wellington holiday with that australia. and on the monday they started to be on well and tested positive delta. now that pissed me during the weekend had visited a large number of places around wellington museums, restaurants, shops will the place that it didn't actually now watching experience for us, we were waiting to hear whether we got to have a very, very large upgrade. as it happens, we got luck, camera didn't, that's it has been a warning sign for us of how badly things could go wrong. so the warning signs are there. what is the best way in your opinion then of containing, not only tova, but also all of its variance? well, the interesting thing about this pandemic is something that we in the asia pacific

region haven't learned. if the panic is control, it can be stopped. we have so many tools in the tool box. now we have put faxes. we have a public health infrastructure, that's that test and tracing all of those measures. and we have mentions but can keep our community safe. optimizing ventilation, one of those things wearing a mask to protect others, supporting people to stay at home when they're sick. we've learned so much in the last 16 months how to stop his father's actually confident that it's not really a question if i can redo it, but all me going to choose to do it. interesting stuff from a man coltrane epidemiologist at the university of chicago. wellington, thank you very much for being on the show today. a brief look at some other corona wire stories making headlines. malaysian officials have been forced to temporarily

close a covert vaccination center after nearly half its worth is tested. positive malaysia is struggling to deal with the surgeon infections the country recorded 11000 new cases on tuesday. it's most in one day in french. president manuel, my cause says getting vaccinated against covert will be made mandatory for all health care staff and other workers who come into contact with loanable patients. it's part of the latest measures to contain the pandemic in france, where the delta will manufacture is need to modify mac feeds to fire perience. oh, this is really just another way of asking whether storage could be to, will mutate so much that modifying vaccines makes sense. so so let's approach this question from that angle. the answer is we still don't know, but. busy a critical moment experts say, will be as large numbers, the fully vaccinated people start contracting

a serious enough case of covered 900 anyway, to land in the hospital. that's not happening, at least not yet. even if some variance are infecting more vaccinated people than earlier versions of the virus dead in trials, none of them is viewed as what's called an escape variance. in other words, immunity and people who had the disease or who have been vaccinated appears by enlarged to be holding up pretty well. but if that suddenly changes, then, manufacturers will indeed have to tweak vaccines to, to help manage the threat. and they're already. busy doing so, the good news is that this isn't a new problem. it's one that we've had to come to grips with in the past. for example, with flu viruses and flu vaccines have to be updated regularly because flu viruses evolve really pretty quickly. so the background that we already have in redesigning

vaccine fast to meet that constantly evolving thread that will come in handy. now, according to the vaccine alliance, garvey, updating messenger r n a vaccines, and viral vector vaccines is still uncharted territory. but it shouldn't prove to steve of a challenge. manufacturers are also saying that they can tweak back scenes to provide protection against emerging threats within weeks rather than months and, and trials with tweaked vaccines are already going on. but some experts don't think that escape variance will develop so. busy the question of, to what extent will actually need modified vaccines? that still up in the air. me, derek williams, there are 401. thanks for watching. stay safe. i see you again. sorry about

the hold. can you hear me now? yes. yes. we can hear you and how is germans house that we bring you on a mac or you've never had before surprised yourself with what is who is medical really what move back. and once you talk to people who follow along the way, admirers and critics alike, in the world's most, how for women shaking her leg is showing us the macros last on the many portions turn out in the world right now climate change income story. this is lifeline. the way home just one week how much was going to really

get we still have time to go. i'm doing some scribe for more like in december 2019 the european council president showed me shows embarked on a ground breaking mission. i have a clear job to make here are the 1st time a gentleman by 2050 not all you remember state supported and some persuasion is required. so surprising, glanced into the very heart of power of god who will win the game. diplomatic poker. the intrigue power plays and alliances behind the scenes of the

sun. it starts august, 5th on d. w. the news coming up on arts and culture more forgotten. female artists come to life as art institutions in europe, reject art history written for by and about men and innovations from the barrio architects look to venezuela neighborhoods. born out as quick necessity. ah. but 1st, germany's culture minister monica says, the re blossoming of jewish culture in germany is the biggest gift the countries seen since the end of world war 2. she was speaking at the reopening of a synagogue and the city of girl. it's the house of worship, survived

a nazi attack, but then almost fell apart under east german communism. now, decades of work and millions of years later, it's been reopened as a cultural center, including small space for the cities, small jewish community. the synagogue encourage has been restored to its former glory renovation. work began 30 years ago following german reunification was here. it's a very respectful restoration, but they also left a lot of the building scholars intact. and you can really see the buildings history, what it went through and survived and leaped out. the synagogue was completed in 1911 despite and often attacked on crystal knox. november nights, 938. it survived almost and damaged, but it was neglected in the following decades, and the d consecrated synagogue used as a storage facility and communist east germany, the plans to turn it into a gymnasium. and for years after unification, it was unclear. speak done with the you can still structure. now it's been reopened

as a cultural center student. and so for the we imagined it becoming a place of reconciliation as well as education like school groups. go and hear about the history of jewish life in germany. and in girlish, but it's also meant to be a place for cultural event promised. i thought that the jewish community also once again has a home here one area of the synagogue issues further just worship more culture news now from around to europe. the can film festival celebrated the premier of the movie petroff flu without the films maker russian director carol sarah branch of sara brent of is borrowed from leaving russia due to his conviction on embezzlement charges. critics of the travel band say it's an attempt to silence the director for his critical stance on the church and on russia government

a flash back to ancient room. well, it's not just about the costumes. bosnia is hoping to attract tourists with this 2000 year old roman road, uncovered by a professor in the woods of the con you mountain and north eastern bosnia. the scholar and her team consulted historical records and interviewed locals to find the road which had long been a local legend. now you can visit it. and in italy, one of the world's oldest ballet companies, la scala, is out of the theater, performing all around malign their latest stuff, a local swimming pool. their goal is to bring ballet to audiences who normally wouldn't see it from the vin sheets that because of the most famous artists in history, have been men with moody personalities. art historians used to say that great art was the result of great genius and genius, of course with male. because if

a woman turned out to be a gifted artist, she with the exception. but now more and more art institutions in europe are challenging that history of art written by men. the museum to loop some book in paris is the venue for an exhibition of 18th century female painters who had been largely forgotten. bold and confident self portraits reveal little of the struggles these artists fought for recognition in an era when women were imprisoned by a strict moral call search me women, artists will not denied access to an academy education. so they help themselves founding the own women's workshops. networks necessary to assert themselves in a man's world. this is how they conquered the scene. it is a bet, louise v. sheila blown a celebrated portrait painter of european nobility,

one international claim for her painting of mary antoinette lubbock. he did a special thing about this exhibition is alluded to in the full name of the show female painters. the birth of a struggle to show looks at history in a new way. these women artists were actually visible during the lifetime and were only forgotten in retrospect. and for that history is to blame the last night. he said, please tell me how mail is our history darling artist, sybil say, took a look at a popular encyclopaedia of office and deleted all the entries on male artists. she wanted to make the women visible of the original $5200.00 entries, only $100.00. $69.00, remain 3 percent. the countless blank pages expose the established

cannon as a questionable construct. a relic of patriarchy, me, ah, no matter how successful the women painters were in their lifetimes, later, history passes them over. there was disappeared into the store, rooms of museums, where they slowly decayed florida spaced organization advancing. women artists has taken up the fight and literally fries out by women from the dust of oblivion. the nonprofit initiative has rediscovered 70 paintings restored them and made them accessible to the public. but in france alone, 2000 paintings by women, artists still lie in storage. it's actually not just about the women artist and florence, it's about the women, artists in the storage is and in the museums all over the world. and the art lovers

beginning to ask, where are the women so that they can reclaim this part of history? that's been forgotten. the ball is rolling. now there's a whole series of projects that engage activist detectives to track down the missing women artists, international initiatives. exhibitions, all, for example, the film and online project. last women arts. it retails 100 years of european history by spotlighting women, artists who disappeared due to prejudice and double standards. women from various areas have been systematically marginalized by conservative art historians and timid institutions in terms of genre, painting, styles, and even lifestyles. the demand place to women artists were always rather different from those placed on male counterparts. the bull bar is, i observe this with quite a lot of women artists that in the days they had opportunities,

had exhibitions sold, paintings, got good reviews. but that when they were written about in retrospect, they suddenly play a very small role of the school. and that shows that the problem is in the history on dust tight, get us the problem in a concentrated, leapt, she was a legend in paris during her lifetime, susan, valid dawn. at the age of just 15. she modeled for the great painters, pierre, august, law. and ed degas and later emancipated herself as a painter, ah nudes, have an authentic maternity and directness, a provocative new look at the female body. ah, the visionary painting of swedish office here, my friend has been deliberately sidelined by the scene for decades despite the fact that she was creating abstract paintings. years before vasily tendon ski,

ah, dressed an artist l. frieda lois of x was a victim of the nazi regime. pictures boldly depict the other side of the supposedly golden twenty's work to has gone under in our history last women art works to this right. ah, history itself is a very old fashion to is, is old as the museum. that's reinvent these things. but there's no need to reinvent art in many cases, 90 percent of museum collections, life in storage. art history is ready and waiting for a new don't. how will we live together? that's the question. and the theme of this year is architecture. be in late in

venice, italy, every 2 years, architects from around the world come together to share their ideas and dreams this week and arts and culture. we're looking at different displays from the be an hour . today, a project that examines venezuelan barrios, informal neighborhoods that were long seen as separate from the city, but are slowly being recognized as an integral part of the urban fabric. the venice is architecture being the award winning design practice in lancer architect tumor. showcasing an unusual part of the venezuelan capital correct. in the 1950 and it will based economic boom triggered widespread internal migration. i mean, this is group, i'm final so i didn't see enough to the 3 the board of the time, you know, make system and acquisition was didn't allow people who contribute to the growth to have the home economics to we're not got
