he w business beyond the, here's a closer look at the project. our mission. to analyze the fight for market dominance versus west. ahead with the w business beyond on you to me. ah, a german study has found more than 40 percent of people infected with covered. don't even know the rate is even higher among elderly people and long covert symptoms of the chronic form of the virus may also go and identified that could include organ damage. testing could be more important than ever. welcome to the show when 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 vote was the principal investigator in the back covered 19 study. how 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 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, and them, and importantly, we measured antibodies and these antibodies. i was able to indicate what you had a formal inspection independently, whether you were back to needed 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. the frequency of unknown infections depends very much on

the rate of testing. and in germany we have across germany quite comparable regulations. so they are, 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 unexpected infections, no matter the number though. what, what are the consequences of not knowing that you felt covert? well actually he showed that we learned that interestingly in the elderly, especially there are more unknown infections about 2 thirds of people, 6075, and plus. whereas in there's 25 to 30, for example. it's only a 3rd what it means into relative values. a little bit, the incidence is although of cause all the to be your cases and the person

may not should not be forgotten and it will help us to we calculate the risk of 4 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 and 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 event again like the, the soccer championship right now. in these cases, we need to have these early warning system. and still also back to me area people should get attacked and because they still can transmit an infection 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 antibodies to measure . because the majority of people do not have all anti bodies positive, but a certain one. and we have to run in which persons they have to measure which anti body 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 cobra means 6 month after the acute infection. and what we currently know is only for the known cases that at about 10 percent off code to develop long covert and 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 off 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 they organs may be damaged, which, which may come out years later. indeed, that's what we fear. and that's what we 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 yet having symptoms,

but that in the future you could develop a symptomatic disease which limits your life quality are also and the length of your life. but this is still a matter of research. everything we're doing there is still speculated and we have to gather 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 could be public 19 studies, philip i taffy on the said today. thank you. a long cove itself, or as a calling on health care providers, employers and politicians to take their predicament seriously. for many, what is out of the question, day to day activities are also a major challenge. your highness,

either his name's her oxygen device. evelyn, written with a i the 25 year old suffers from long covered and was born with a heart the fact. months after initial couple 19 infection, she needs oxygen therapy. even when only doing small shows like vacuum cleaning, without the device, she often has difficulties breathing. upon wouldn't someone the most worrying moment was one time when i was taking a shower, the scene 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 covert, 900 patients have similar symptoms. johan, i used facebook to get in contact with some of them. they often suffer from constant extortion and lack of concentration. months after that 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 tax assistant again. to sort of minimum, i suspect that will come down to a disability pension for the full no partial, i don't know yet. i would still like to watch right now and not able to and happy if i managed to get out of band for 4 to 6 hours depending on the day. but mostly i lie in bed and that aetate position but, and so they can tell you how. and as i also suffers mentally from her illness, she took to psychologist every week. he has over the help several long covered patients as what happened 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 close. 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 take it seriously . and that further research supported on the cobra you in a few weeks. and she should know whether she will receive a disability pension that would resolve one of many uncertainties that long covered has brought to her life. now you'll turn to ask the questions. here's our science guy, derek williams. call you other viruses, a piece syndrome like covered 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 they, there's also quite a bit of overlap with many chronic symptoms that can sometimes be triggered by other passages among them, viruses that cause the flu, mano, nuclear services, 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 several of my allied 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 have often been told by doctors that is 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, thanks for watching. stay safe and see you again say, ah, the news people in trucks injured when trying to see the city center. more and more refugees are being turned away. families to be crated and treated people seeing extreme dreams. having 200 people around the world, more than 300 new people are seeking refuge.

called me and she told me, my mom coventry has been called the most dangerous city in britain. don't we do you the top 10? you're going to go get one most my friends in prison. they weren't raised in, nor we all raised in no, crazy way or any think, you know, it's in and most of my friends and that turn into crap. since the parents moved the parent parents were kids. you've seen the system ever gave them mercy. nope. so the sit stops with survive and does it ignore it's? that's it. the biggest main thing is self empowerment. lucky even

a. do you think that would be great. i come from worry, you know, white glove trauma is normal and we will have, you know, we shape or we have too much trauma. so in with the thing is the only option we have to turning negativity into positivity, thus it positive, despite having the shop in the head in coventry was just a year and a half ago. don't want this to happen every day. that's it again, forwarded that yesterday they would assume as a criminal, regardless gang banging. that would have know me. i you know gang sin of our family sin when it comes to when they put us in a situation in a jungle as a call it. you learn to have a people that's been food where you've been for comfort, you know,

colonialists were unable to conquer them, a poacher and so recognized them as an autonomous nation. today they claim their territory has been illegally requisitioned by agriculture and forestry companies, acting with state complicity, they resist and try to live in harmony with nature, pushing back against threats to the environment like deforestation. chilean star architect alejandro avila is looking for a solution to this conflict. ah, it's a professional process. we learned that then 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 picture say we know what chile is,

but chilly has no idea who we are. i'm a woman out of and i came up with the idea for a meeting place. we hope the chilean m a future people could discuss their a dispute of the land and autonomy we looking to get inspiration from the religious architecture of the me a future in 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 willing to negotiate. but due to panoramic related travel restrictions, it hasn't been able to take place yet tend for called neutral space is like this really hopeful conflicts. here all if it's 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 for 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 lead. now this weekend, the festival will culminate with the top prize. the coveted pine dove, 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 stars. martinez and its fine dining restaurant upon don't our favor. 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 you, when they're used to traveling the world. if you're going to be to the queue, whereas when we have a taste enough, i know the mouth. when steven spielberg was, he was, he's impressed by the see the music, whole setting vacated on aging scene scenario. all center born in con, cookie finished co, t started at le pine door in 1989 as a kitchen assistant. before going on to train under prominent european chef a lover and defender of classic pullman sol edition, he returned in 2001 and became hatch in 2007. 0, the restaurants terrorist offers a panoramic view of the cut and the course at the main festival. then you is also conveniently closed inside the restaurant. the core is an homage to the cities
