last year, after 20 years fighting taliban insurgents and failing to defeat them. plato forces i'm pulling out of afghanistan. my guess this week is joe on the deputy secretary general and they tell us who joins me this week from the alliance's headquarters in belgium. policy justify the abandonment of the afghan people at the time of macs in conflict. in 60 minutes on dw me ah, a german study has found more than 40 percent of people infected with covered. don't even know the races even higher among elderly people and uncovered symptoms and the chronic form of the virus may also go identified that could include organ damage. testing could be more important than ever.

welcome to the show, one, been physical and 1st up, let's talk to the author of that report to discuss the consequences of not knowing you've got covered philip. that was the principal investigator in the good and bad covered 19 study. how do you determine that over 40 percent of germans don't realize they have covered yes, good afternoon. actually, we have drawn a population based sample from the local registry offices. and we asked the study participants whether they had a former proven infection at 2 time on 4 months, apart from each other, we asked the participant, we to provide a p, c, r test, which we did in them. and importantly, we measured antibodies and these antibodies are able to indicate what you had a former infection independently, whether you were vaccinated or not. and you looked at over $10000.00 participants over half a year. is that something that you could mirror elsewhere in the world?

well, i would take a note of caution there, and the frequency of unknown infections depends very much on the rate of testing. and in germany we have across germany quite comparable regulations. so there, i think we can translate these to other regions. however, with translating that to other countries, we have to account for the frequency of testing, which has an impact on the number of an effect that infections no matter the number, the what, what are the consequences of not knowing that you felt covert? well, actually showed that we learned that interestingly in the elderly, especially there are more unknown infections about 2 thirds of people, $6075.00, and plus. whereas in there's 25 to 30, for example. it's only a 3rd what it means that the relative is

a little bit the incidental. although of course, all the severe cases and disease persons may not should not be forgotten and it will help us to we calculate the risk for persons and in certain conditions. not only the risk for people who actually have it, but what about the people around them as well? well, exactly. so what the problem is, the spreading m m can be very well assessed if you do the testing. and what we learn is that what we currently do is still not enough to recognize all infections . and if we want to have an early warning system and recognize new virus very and for example, then we need a good testing strategy to detect, unravel all of these, these unknown infections. so philip is a time to get self tests out there to make sure that everyone is not only working

out whether or not they're infectious, but whether or not they've had the coven buyers? yes. so certainly i think currently it is a good idea to test better, especially in the time where we are driving back preventive measures. we are having major public events again like the soccer championship right now. in these cases, we need to have these early warning system and still also back to the area people should get a task and because they still can transmit an inspection to not vaccinated individuals. and the other thing is regarding whether you had code with their we learned that we still have to see what are the right anti bodies to measure. because the majority of people do not have all anti bodies positive, but a certain one. and we have to learn in which persons they have to measure which antibody before we can go for screening for long. cobit and how many of these

unknown cases could actually be long covert yeah, that's a matter of debate. we're currently still investigating this in our study, and that takes a little bit time because the definition of long colbert means 6 months after the acute infection. and what we currently know is only for the known cases that at about 10 percent off thought to develop long coat with them. again, 10 percent of these 10, which is one of all known infections developers to be along with syndrome. and what we have to investigate and learn now, how many people of the ace american affections can get the secret. and could there be a concern for younger people that they could have covered? they may not know and their organs may be damaged, which, which may come out years later. indeed, that's what we fear and learned about is there a molecule signature,

something that you can measure in the block which indicates that you are on the way of developing a long covert center of not having symptoms but that in the future you could develop a symptomatic disease which limits your life quality are also in the length of your life. but this is still a matter of research. everything we're doing there is still speculators. and we have together more data to be sure about how to tackle these, how to identify that. but what we have to fear is yes, that it is possible even in a symptomatic infections or mild infections, that few people are at risk of developing a long code. it couldn't be covered 19 studies, philip i taffy on saturday. thank you. a long cove itself or is a calling on health care providers, employers and politicians to take their predicament seriously. for many work is out of the question, day to day activities are also

a major challenge. your hannah's either has named her oxygen device, evan, written with a i the 25 year old suffers from long covered, and was born with a heart the fact months after our initial compet 19 infection, she needs oxygen therapy. even when only doing small shows like vacuum cleaning, without the device, she often has difficulties breathing. the bone when someone the most for a moment was one time when i was taking a shower to see me maybe even thinner. i started crying because i couldn't breathe anymore. i'm more or less fell out of the shower. i was trying to breeze it, but nothing was coming in. according to initial studies about 10 percent of covered 19 patients have similar symptoms. your hannah used facebook to get in contact with some of them. they often suffer from constant exhaustion and lack of concentration

. months after then initial infection. in your hands case, the symptoms are so severe that the 25 year old expects never to be able to work as a text assistant again, to sort of minimum, i suspect it will come down to a disability pension or the full partial. i don't know yet. i would still like to watch. right now. i'm not able to. and happy if i managed to get out of bed for 4 to 6 hours depending on the day. but mostly i lie in bed and vegetate provision better, and they can tell her mission hugh. and as i also stuff is mentally from her own this she took to psychologist every week. he has over the help several long covered patients. and when, when we now have a new group of chronically ill people in our society that will have an impact on

all kinds of levels. it will be noticeable on the labor market. it's crucial that these people are not left behind in terms of their participation. and also financially leave him under your hand as i hoped that her application for a disability pension will soon be approved. and that she will be met with more understanding when it comes to long covet. closer. my biggest wish is that people start taking it seriously. that they don't dismiss it and say she's just being silly. she just has to get out of bed and get a grip. and my 2nd wish is that politicians and researchers also taken seriously, and that further research supported on the cobra. in a few weeks, she should know whether she will receive a disability pension that would resolve one of many uncertainties, but long covered has brought to her life. now you'll turn to ask the questions. here's our science guy, derrick voice call. you viruses

a piece syndrome like painted over the last year and a half. we've learned a lot about the chronic condition that affects up to 30 percent of people infected with over 194 weeks or months after they supposedly recovered. but there's a whole lot more that we still don't know about what's causing the wide range of long cov it symptoms which often include crippling fatigue. and what sufferers call a brain fog. although some common symptoms of long covert are pretty specific to an infection with stars covey to, for example, a loss of the sense of smell. researchers and doctors say there's also quite a bit of overlap with many chronic symptoms that can sometimes be triggered by other pathogens. among them. viruses that cause the flu, mano, nuclear, osis,

and herpes. many of the long term symptoms reported by long covert sufferers are also common in people diagnosed with what's known as my allergic and stuff low my a light s or, or chronic fatigue syndrome when its origins can be traced back to a viral infection. the condition is often called a post viral fatigue syndrome because its symptoms are so wide ranging and physiological reasons for those symptoms. so difficult to pin down. many people who suffer from post viral fatigue, say they've often been told by doctors that it's basically all in their heads, with millions of people worldwide now reporting long copays symptoms. the good news is that governments are beginning to throw quite a few resources at basic research in the field of post viral fatigue. and that

basic research will very likely have positive knock on benefits for people who suffer from similar conditions that have been linked to other pathogens. me. and so watching, stay safe and see you again say ah, the news people in trucks injured when trying to free the city center and more refugees are being turned away. support families on the tank in theory and the credit don't, isn't it? again? and the trade to people is fleeing extreme around. so ross getting 200 people in the gnc around the world. more than 300000000 people are seeking refuge.

we ask why? because no one should have to flee. to make up your own line. d, w. for mines, t w's crime fighters are back in africa the most successful radio drama series continues. all episodes are available online. course you can share and discuss on the w africa, facebook page, and other social media platforms. crime fighters, tune in now. 2016. that's a good budget, the queen because the wants to be of germany with the last few years have been quite a ride early in touch with the german as a really don't know harm when it comes to germany. it's cool though with look in the eyes, birches, but perhaps the biggest on the new hobby line. 100 down the recruit. i love to be in the news. barry person never comes when you're feeling more forgiving. you'll realize it's called just another way of living. are you ready to meet the german

a sense of freedom and belonging to the community. and gambia was warm and caring. so a trice connections with neighbors, food would be shared with me and this is them up, blood land isn't. it is a different kind of pride to see when i was i was born in england by my 1st language. it was of you know, sense or i knew i was different from the start. you know, that gumby i taught me my history again. what i know today i would have known if i didn't get sent to gambia or grandparents, took me villages. you know, i've had experiences my, my own parents didn't have, you know, i've seen had the chance of seeing real life. you know, obviously coming back to the u. k. i learn what life is

having she's talking to me. my mom coventry has been called the most dangerous city in britain. when you're going to do that by your why don't you met my phone book on monday for most my friends in prison, they won't raised in or we all raised in no crazy way or any think in our sin and most my friends and that turn into crap students, their parents moved, the parents were kids. you've seen the system ever gave the mercy. nope. so the sit stops, were survived into sit ignorance that fit the biggest factor

a jo dispute to the territory or tunnel made between the in state and the indigenous my future population has recently escalated. spanish colonialists were unable to conquer them, a poacher and so recognized them as an autonomous nation. today they claim that territory has been illegally requisitioned by agriculture and forestry companies, acting with stake complicity. they resist and try to live in harmony with nature, pushing back against threats to the environment like deforestation. julian star architect alejandro r. vienna is looking for a solution to this conflict. ah, it's a professional process. we learned that in the future have an ancient tradition when it comes to solving conflicts. and this is the question of this be and how will we live in future? what they have a parliament and these have one condition that there should be a symmetry of knowledge on both sides. before you negotiate,

you have to know who you're dealing with. the move picture say we know what chile is, but truly has no idea who we are in a woman out of. and i came up with the idea for a meeting place where he hoped the chilean m a future people could discuss their a dispute of the land and autonomy. we're looking to get information from the religious architecture of the me a future which we integrated like the circle shape which is typical for oral cultures and orientation towards the east is essential for the future facing the sunrise. so we have to make visible, and by visible we mean something vertical with a meeting with you between them a teacher and a timber company, we can negotiate user pandemic related travel restrictions. it hasn't been able to take place yet can for called neutral spaces like this really hopeful conflicts. here all it has to open up dialogue for

a better future and welcome future questions are pushing us. we're clearly not happy with the answers we have today. so where compelled to think the future, we have no other option, no other option, but to recognize social responsibility. and this isn't just true architecture. the cannes film festival is where some of the world's top films get shown for the 1st time. and for the 1st time since the pandemic, the red carpet, there has been teeming with celebrities, including this year's jury president, director spike li. now this weekend, the festival will culminate with the top prize. the coveted pine duck. but for can insiders, pandora isn't just a trophy, it's also a place to eat. an exclusive restaurant with 2 michelin stars, and a whole lot of movie starts martinez and

a fine dining restaurant upon dog or safer. some people in the film industry. that's not only because of the restaurants excellent french cuisine is to know the our guests are very artistic people and when they're used to traveling the world, he'll be to the way when we have a taste enough. i know the amount when steven spielberg was, he was, he's impressed by the see the music hall setting i vacated on definitely on aging as seen now, you know, center born in con, cookie finish piece, started at la pine door in 1989 as a kitchen assistant before going on to train under prominent european chef, a lover and defender of classic promissory edition. he returned in 2001 and became hatch in 2007. 0, the restaurants terrorist offers the panoramic view of the cut and the closet,
