to northern white miners in the world are grieving here in kenya. but wait, who's this lady? this is your last chance to reproduce. go behave scientists are trying to be and they have a lot of ideas about how to do it. for good. been 60 minutes w me ah, the fact vaccines neat police escorts is a sign that they valued a hot commodity. that also goes to waste me as much as 30 percent of vaccines are thrown away in some countries. the reasons, very storage and logistical challenges as well as the type of files and syringes

used. but innovations could end the waste and dense as well. and nice to have you on some countries have had to throw away thousands of jobs. others like finland, a fine shooting their vaccine campaigns to ensure every last drop counts. it's putting the nation way ahead of others. at this vaccination center, around 3000 doses are prepared and administered every day. it's around 40 percent more than should be possible with the supplies available. that is because a finish invention makes it possible to make a little bit of faxing that go along way the person behind the creation is nurse thought. rose, who was among those starting colbert vaccinations in december last year on a piano to see if that we don't want to throw away any viable vaccine. it has become paramount, used to exceed economically as possible,

especially after some of them were limited to certain age groups. only. ruth works in a public hospital but volunteered to do extra vaccination shifts. she find you in her technique within the 1st few days of preparing the doses. why have stuck on who am i saying that? once i noticed that exchanging the syringes and getting rid of excess error in the equipment guaranteed to extra doses affect scene. i sent an email to our medical director. he quickly contacted house authorities about it. everybody was very excited. so thought i thought roses technique requires syringes with a one millimeter capacity and small scale. the syringe is 1st filled vaccine, but just enough to get the required vaccine dose. in addition, a bit of air is drawn from the vial, bottle into the syringe. finally, the air and vaccine inside the syringe, the to swap places before the vaccine is administered. the air bubbles at meek,

maximizes the amount of faxing that is extracted from each mile. for instance, makes it possible to prepare 7 instead of 5 by intake doses as well as 12 instead of 10 astrazeneca. those cease health experts made her roses technique, their official recommendation for covert the vaccinations in the country in january . despite its benefits, norway is the only country to follow finance footsteps. medical director, democrat pan from the city of helsinki so far hasn't had the time to advertise the method globally. some teaching materials have only recently been translated into english. club bodies, 200. so here we go. i think this technique can be copied to other countries to, to be able to vaccinate 40 percent more people on, originally projected as simply incredible and progress for the world to reopen.

however, it is not enough to vaccinate people in just one country. while nations such as finland are continuously easing restrictions, other parts of the world are only starting their own vaccination campaigns. i think he's city medical director team or look at it and joins us so team or should the rest of the world be watching our show very closely today. truly, we. we are in dire in dire need of vaccines and of course, every, every back dean can't explain to us again then how exactly this works. you're talking about precision equipment, but getting the right type of equipment is extremely important. starting with what sort of syringe do we need to know? there are different sorts of syringes with low dead space. others with high dead space. so a lot of that back thing. it's ways that it gets stuck either in the syringe or in the needle itself. what sort of syringe do we need? first of all we started to stagnate. it's actually a, b,

d and your you only need small enough range. that's why i mean that is, the range is enough because at the end, given that when the best thing is given, the data space can be it doesn't matter when you have the air properly over there to be used to push out the vaccine from the range and then what sort of a needle do you need? is it a small mac? well basically it's a small, small as possible, neither neither what, which can handle the vaccine itself. so small di meter long enough to be able to keep a pen a way. so there's not a lot of problem with the needle in a way. and what about when it comes to the vile that the you get the actual vaccine in? yes, the violet are a little bit different story. first of all, it's of course you have to be good with the hygiene. but on the other hand,

there's a different amount of doses in each while you might get 6, you might get 8. so you have to be precise that you, you, for every dose you take every vaccine you create from them, all the files. you make sure that every every vaccination, every job you're going into the case to the patients are truly for so that you get the precise dose. so you cannot accept as little less than that precise amount of dosing. if, if there's not enough for that, then there's not enough. so there are so many little steps where this could go wrong. and we're talking about human error here. why not just go for a single dose while where it's all pre measured and pre dosed. and you have nothing to worry about. well, movie those, why are so much you said to produce, i think, as well as the day to be around to globally. so we prefer

premade pre dosed theories isn't pre with needle ready, but there's not, there's no such thing at the moment available for our qualities. you know, it's all a race against time. in the meantime, you can other countries. i mean, is there anything holding back all the countries from repeating what you guys are doing, replicating the method that you've discovered? i don't think so. it's basically all that you needed. the rise, the weapons precise working and the process around around the vaccination century that you get to take care that you have the precise amount of that kind of the patients you're vaccinating this enough of them as well. because if you, if you count, but there's only 5 doses coming from the while and you get sick and you only have 5

patients coming in, then the one dose gets wasted anyway. so we have to take care of that. there's also patients around. it's also a lot to call for never been tested to have you on the show today team will look at it and i think he said he medical director and excellent news and nice insights about that local hero of yours. you'll have to pass on my congratulations. thank you. now here's eric williams with his take on back things. vials and waste out of your question call. why aren't injected vaccines manufactured as a single unit instead of having the vaccine in the syringe separate? this is a great question, one that i've never really actually considered before. right now, most vaccine manufacturers are filling and shipping. multi dose biles of vaccine that contain between 5 and 15 doses on site at the vaccination

center or at the doctor's office. staff then have to painstakingly draw them into syringes and a complex time consuming series of steps where were a lot could actually go wrong due to human error and. and there are a lot of other issues with the bio system, not least that once the seal on one has been broken, all of the doses in the bio has to be used quickly. leftovers can't just be stuck back in the fridge for use later so. so since everyone is getting their own syringe anyway, why our machines just pre filling them directly as a single unit. instead of putting large batches of doses in vials, 1st, pre filled single shops, syringes are already the norm in some parts of the world for, for vaccinations against other pathogens but, but there appear to be 2 primary reasons why the older vial system has been the

method of choice so far for the mass, coven 19 vaccine rollout. the 1st is speed with manufacturers churning out hundreds of millions of doses. it's simply faster for them to score 10 at a time into a single vile than it is to fill 10 separate syringes and with the pandemic in full swing, getting as much vaccine as possible out there has been vital. and the 2nd factor is cost until now single dose prefilled syringes have been more expensive to produce but, but many manufacturers say that's changing. and that, that pre filling syringes is actually more efficient because then you don't need millions of medical grade glass files. so. so when demand for cobra,

1900 vaccines begins to slow. i think that you can expect prefilled syringes to grow in popularity because they have so many advantages. me and some other stories making years in asia has reported a regular increase of 1025 cobra deaths. i bring the total number of fatalities to more than $71000.00 and the southeast asian country has been struggling to cope with a new way the inventions and finds a bio tech colored vaccine is on track to become the 1st foreign jap approved in china. chinese regulators have completed an expert review of b m r in a vaccine. china we'll set to use the drunk as a booster for those who proceed to shots and made vaccine. and so watching se, se fancy, you again soon this

is to understand the world better. we need to take a closer experience knowledge to the e. w. the every journey begins with the 1st step. and every language was the 1st word, nico and germany, german. why not learn with him? it's simple online, on your mobile and free p w e learning course. nikos. german made easy

people in trucks injured when trying to see the city center. more and more refugees are being turned away. families to the correct traitors. people seeing screen getting 200 people around the world, more than 300000000 people are seeking refuge. why? because no one should have to make up your own mind. the w need for mines the the hello from berlin time now for 13 minutes of arts and culture

coming up, the woman who calls the shots by germany's multi 1000000000 euro arts budget culture commissioner, monica gordon, talks to us about tackling colonialism, sexism, and the corona virus. ah, and with large downs lifted, some berlin performers are back on their feet. for others, the crisis is far from me. but 1st we're off to the south of france to the cannes film festival, where a week and a half of glitz and glamour and movie premier as are wrapping up this saturday. and the film world has its eyes on the prize i'm talking about the coveted time does so which movies are in the running and which are making a big splash. here are some of our top picks with such an eclectic group of films in competition. mike lee and his jury had their work cut out for them when deciding

who when the c, as palm door. here at some of the front brothers, the film director, you need to call me back at conn. and getting plenty of attention to, to tom about his killer, to fix the car. the to tom takes view is on a controversial rise exploring sexuality, gender roles, and the need to be loved. my intention in the film is really to make the audience except that's the question of gender. you substitute relevance when it's when we're talking about identity, one's identity, one's journey in life, once choices and all this. i mean, it's really about, it's being free from every every. let's say,

the 1st comes like preconceived ideas about what the human should be. the sense of director with anderson, delighted with his latest efforts long delayed by the pandemic. the french dispatch is an episodic tribute to old school journalism starring bill murray until the swinton assembled a team of the best patriot journalists, his time parents, and direct cremeans robot. right? these were his people just try to make it sound like you wrote it that way. on purpose, it's also reminder of the dignity of true journalism because that's a real thing. and i think it's possible for people to either have forgotten that or pretend they never knew that to know that the journalism and i think could it be dignified and important. cultural endeavor, and we really rely on it so yeah, it's just a reminder. i agree with tilda. we take the subject of delight lecture.

mister moses rose suddenly loud, it's odyssey the voice of his rowdy generation from the naked sold luxury hot. here . i want to buy incidence is to the nest with us. yes. in short, the pitcher was a sensation director pull the hoover and is known for mixing sex and violence. his latest film, beneditas, religion that makes and does causing plenty of control the sea. it tells the story of an abbot and lots of things with another woman. before we do not have to quiet the budget on that, it's a blessing that would be great. is that because it's your ex hold, you know extraordinary, but true for me. what was really important and the movie i think versus drive every ask me what was driving me was in fact,

that the worst way through that i was. and that i was making a movie that's about events that is shown way has really happened is a real rock opera by little character with adam, dr. unmarried called. they play a glamorous deliberate couple whose lives turned upside down by the arrival of the child. this is my, the i can, competition is back after you without you to the panoramic making the prospect of winning a palm or even more desirable than ever. the answer as to who gets to take home this most prestigious of film process will be revealed on saturday. the, and the anticipation is growing. well, here in germany,

the cultural scene is waiting to see who will lead the country's massive public art sector after elections in september for more than 7 years. politician, monica good of america is christian. democrats has navigated crises and controversies as germany state minister for culture and the media. well, one of the biggest controversies being the reconstruction of a power from germany is colonial era. in part to how's artifact brought to germany during colonialism? that's one issue that came up when we sat down with her they were supposed to be a big fraction at the home lot forum. instead they ignited that a heated debate about colonialism and polluted art. the bending bronze is stolen by the british in 1897 from beneath the city and what is today. and i curious then, so to museums, more than $500.00 ended up in berlin. artifact stained with blood german coach commissioner, monica curtis has a clear position on. so that's why on june 15,

we launched an online platform where hundreds of the exhibits can be viewed digital form. that was a very important 1st step to say, see here, and next we negotiated forms of possible restitution moment and we would like to achieve substantial restitution as early as 2022. and once we call the homo form construction site, with a major preoccupation for coaches over the years, the new building a partial reconstruction of a person palace was highly controversial. and settling on a concept for its use took some time. a team of top cross experts was assembled to present the home vote forum as a venue for worlds culture and exchange in the hearts of berlin. i'm going to send and we're going to the founding board of directors, including for my head of the british museum, neil mcgregor world star museums, and a very knowledgable advisor. but once all on we have now made the humble form

what it was always meant to be a new type of cultural center, more than just a museum. it has an interdisciplinary approach, and it's for the german cultural landscape is open to the world diverse and the place of critical dialogue. it was better for her when the creative branch, the 2nd largest economic sector in germany, was forced into a complete corona virus. not down for months in the face of protest, she fought for an expanded support program. an extra 2000000000 euros was approved as emergency aid scholarships and bridging payments. for me personally, i felt like i was going through withdrawal and i think many people felt the same way. they missed the stimulation, the opportunity to exchange ideas. it's not just entertainment, it's very important for the critical corrective in society. i'm also important for democracy by the way, is another important topic for us is

a quality despite large numbers of women being active in the cultural sector, a dismal situation at the top, 80 percent of theater director, men film directors, to so high you go, the harder it is to find women in leadership roles could to found a project to support women in management, in ministry, 44 percent of senior staff. female. why did one thing in particular, which was relatively easy? i had all the committees in the ministry, several 100 and all occupied on a party basis, all of them in some cases. for example, in film, we have to change the law, but in others goodwill with enough people to say no, this kind of representation can't go on. when you have a female perspective. as for example, in the allocation of funding, female aspirants a more likely to be rewarded to hunting on the highest because in the effect of these policies will be seen in the future. monitor goodness has faced

a lot of criticism in her time as to culture. commissioner, but it haven't dampened her and fuse them for the job and for culture is there, but i'm very passionate about the issues and except for an election, the no reason to stop it off to her. but a german action is coming up, so she'll just have to wait and see. you can see our full interview with germany's culture commissioner, monica cortez this weekend on d. w. 's arts 21 program. now one of the biggest hurdles she's faced has of course, been the corona virus, pandemic, artists and creatives lost their jobs, lost their income, as theaters, galleries and clubs were forced to close for months. cortez did push through 2000000000 euros in federal aid for artists salvation for many, but for others, they're still struggling. catherine, she line is the artistic director of a small theater. she's very happy company has been able to hold performances again

since the end of may. the theater was receiving funds from an up stimulus program called noise start called to or restart culture. shoot i and, and her team worked on the application for weeks. i just didn't get laptops. when our application was accepted, i thought i'd my now suddenly know what it's like to get real support. first to go into to, to collect, ah, austin, spring and burger and his band. berlin, 21 street workers basking. the jazz clubs have only just reopened, and there are long waiting lists for gigs this way. they can earn a few euros in the meantime. were playing on the streets and try to compensate their losses and earnings we've had. but especially, i've also to keep musical skills home to funding on the praxis and

as always hope and we're recover exists in the scene. some theaters and other cultural event organizes are getting a huge boost thanks to the government support package host with as long as we don't slide down into another look to the federal funds plus our ticket sales put us in a really good position, goodwill. trust me, on the other hand, many self employed musicians are living hand to mouth me because i've always been cashed in my loft, retirement savings. that's it. but the positives, after all busting can be a good way to promote jazz music. ah, no, we reach a lot of people who wouldn't normally go to a jazz concert and they are surprised to find out that they actually really like it . and you can put photos to swing and beggars band. that's one of the few positives they would have liked to get more direct financial support from the

government all the now from me on the whole crew. thanks for watching. that's almost it for this edition of arts and culture a leave you now with an impressive new exhibition in japan, set in a forest on the island of que ship a series of light installations by artist group team lab is called a forest, where gods live check it out mm mm mm
