miss passionate hatred of the people, the explained. a gold tom go. a history of anti semitism is a history of stigmatization and exclusion of religious and political power struggles. it's a history of slender, of hatred and violence even 77 years after the holocaust hatred towards jews is still pervasive. a history that you semitism this week on d. w ah ah ah. there is still many questions surrounding cove at 19. we know that some people are at particular risk, while others never seem to catch it at all. but we don't know why. welcome to archiving 19 special in china attempts to control the virus with strict locked ons
12:31 am
and hungry and vaccines achieve mixed results. while gone is struggles with vaccine hesitancy. rwanda if building a vaccine factory but 1st, let's look at why many people never develop symptoms. we spoke with one of the researchers who discovered the ami con variant. ringback we've all had stories of healthcare where his if went for months so years. okay, did 19 wards and apparently never caught it. or if families where everyone came down with a virus doing isolation except one member, some people distant seem to get a disease. we still have no way to predict who might have this apartment c propeller. i think the prospector is, is basically is chance so, so, i mean, they can have luck on can be unlucky. and i think i won't, cannot, you know, on should not underestimate. but of course, the question is that into it,
12:32 am
and i think it is probably a multifaceted to phenomenon and there are ways anyone can lower their risk of contracting created 19 you can reduce your exposure by wearing an effective mask in indoor public spaces. for example, on vaccine groups of a powerful protective effect because they stimulate the body to produce antibodies are getting the virus, at least for a few months. i can provide strong immunity. immunity that would be juice vaccination and or natural infection having survived infection or a combination of both which. ready see more and more. the question is, are there any other infections, particularly with other types of corona viruses, that would leave one somewhat immune. it's not factor possibly also playing a role in at least some people who appear resistant to coven 19 infection. some studies indicated does that previous exposure to one or more of the 4 related
12:33 am
corona viruses that only cause cold like symptoms and humans might provide some protection. infection with those largely harmless viruses causes the body to form longer lived. immune cells could t cells to recognise and send off future invasions of them and at least in some people, those t sounds might also recognize close vine will relatives like songs katie, to the phenomena. and if known as cross reactivity cross reality refers to similarity between different agents. and of course if the current of our system one would expect them to have similar structures in the form of the proteins that will initially immune response. and if the structures that diff a similar between different viruses, it can lead to cross unity and that it's
12:34 am
a very common phenomenon. cross reactivity could explain why some people can fend off created 19 for at least a while. and for the select few, they might even be a more permanent defense. sometimes, i think a small sub group of people could be mean to infection with sounds crazy to entirely if the dna in their cells carry certain genetic factors that we haven't yet discovered. we've seen this kind of genetic resistance before we know the phenomenon of genetic resistance, again, certain infectious diseases. a famous example, sickle cell anemia which confers resistance to via my area, comes to a high product. if you could tell me, can, can cause crises and needs to be treated in its own right. another genetic variation that was discovered about 25 years ago gives protection against h. i v i. the infection is such, or at least progression to, towards
12:35 am
a final stage. so we know such examples, but they're very difficult to unravel in on immunity, to soft kennedy to could hypothetically occur, for example, in people whose genes cause them to produce an altered version of faith to a protein receptor on the outside of cells that the virus uses to break in. so if the a to in some people is different in some key way, but could prevent the virus from latching on. effectively preventing the person from being infected. studies are looking at a range of different possibilities. the main purpose such studies is to initiate the mechanisms and hopefully in the end, come up with some strategy like a drug or something like that. and equity exploited for prophylaxis, or for therapy to genetic immunity. if it exists, it's likely pretty rare. experts haven't ruled out
12:36 am
china, i've tried to get the pandemic under control with a 0 cove, its strategy of strict locked downs and vaccinations. but it's only using homegrown jobs like sign of none of which m r, n a vaccines, which has proved to be the most effective elsewhere. now they jane is getting ready to prove its own. m r n a vaccine. so will times approach to look down change to helping every one live a healthy life. that's the message vaccine developer. while fox suns out on its website, it's m i. renee based cove at 19 vaccine is currently undergoing phase 3 trials and could be ready to market soon. most people in china have already received other chinese made corona virus vaccines. with an m r renee job could offer them added protection m r c a f
12:37 am
a c level is higher is better than anybody else, then everything else. so i think this is it worth while the best way to measure the army to basically, to increase the effort. a preliminary study indicated that a booster shot with while of axes m r n. a vaccine provoked a stronger immune response than one using other chinese vaccines. still, china has a way to go when it comes to producing his own am our ne vaccine 5 more corona virus. vaccines are currently under development. her, she does want to go to the interesting chinese motivation is on the one hand to national pride. and there's the race for this new m r renee vaccine technology, where it wants to keep pace with the west. china didn't want to become dependent on the west. beyond tech, together with the chinese partner, folsom and shanghai submitted an application for approval of its m r in
12:38 am
a vaccine in china. but it hasn't been fully processed or granted to this day mister into bob. i just wanted to know what the shock of beehan, albumen is. a chinese policy expert. he says it's this national pride in combination with the miscalculation omicron could be contained by china's sarah cove. its strategy that have led to the countries current problems must testing and hard lock downs have impacted china's economy and lead to growing discontent amongst the public sheila, i think it's right now, china's problem is that despite its relatively high vaccination rate, the protection provided by its current vaccines is relatively low against omicron and with some variance. hm. and also a fairly high portion of the older population is either not protected through vaccinations or not enough cushions long sheets as compared to some other wealthy
12:39 am
countries in the region. china's vaccination rate for people over 60 is still relatively low standing at around 82 percent when causes isa will not often go p. o, and of course, it's precisely this vulnerable group of the elderly or that china lumps to protect machine. the chinese government has long touted that it takes protecting lives of this pandemic. more seriously than the u. s. government does, for example, board there for items were considered to be more important, but at the cost of many lives calls can on board. now with its fast domestically made m r renee vaccine and site will china change coals? political experts say not yet. they only see that happening next year, after tea jen paying has secured his 3rd term as president anthropologist. dow is convinced even the current chinese vaccines provide good protection against covert
12:40 am
19 as long as 3 doses are administered. so an m r and a vaccine wouldn't change the country's basic approach when everybody's vaccinated, that people are, you know, you don't like all the vaccinations and things like that getting left at the janet all, it's not a cognitive marks. so maybe even that is the case, that's still the chan from now. all. so that might have been able to relax. so now it looks as though even getting its own m, i'll rene vaccine point fundamentally change china's coping policies. do you have any questions on code? 19 science correspondent williams has be answers based on the latest research and analysis. send an email to covey producer d w dot com this week one view i wanted to know fully need annual distance against
12:41 am
kind of 19 in the future. oh, any prediction that anyone makes at this point on this question is going to be speculative because we just don't know how much more of the virus is going to change in the future. and that, of course, will be key to how long vaccination defenses remain robust. but i definitely think that it makes sense to step back for a moment and maybe think about our goals. um, what do vaccines really have to do to be considered successful and, and what will we just really like them to do? because those are 2 different things and they'll ultimately decide whether we think yearly boosters are a good idea in the future or not. um, so let's look at what a vaccine kind of has to do 1st, at a bare minimum,
12:42 am
i'd say it should keep cove at 19 from killing pretty much every one and also provide significant protection against getting severely ill to at least the vast majority of people who receive it, that protection should also last more than just a few weeks or a few months right now in this alma chron phase of the pandemic. that's kind of the problem. vaccines are preventing most severe disease but, but some people are still catching cove at 19 even after being recently booster, which is why healthcare authorities and many places are now recommending a 4th shot, especially for the elderly or for the immunocompromised, reaching those simple benchmarks on what a vaccine has to do a hands on a few factors,
12:43 am
especially how long lasting and robust of an immune response, the vaccine evokes and the average recipient. but also how quickly the virus evolves to get around that. what recipients would also really like for a vaccine to do, of course, is to prevent symptomatic disease entirely. and if that's the goal, then some kind of regular booster in the future suddenly looks a lot more likely. um, we already have to develop annual vaccines for influenza viruses and, and some researchers now saying that, sorry, cubby too is evolving just as rapidly. if that continues, then regular updates of coven 19 vaccines will probably be necessary, possibly administered, am seasonally along with flu shots, or, or maybe as a nasal spray. of course,
12:44 am
the corona virus could also evolve to cause such harmless disease that we all stop worrying about it. but even if that one day happens, most experts don't expect it to be any time soon. gun air was the 1st, can she in africa to take delivery as kind of it 19 vaccines under the un back to colfax initiative. but so far less than half, i think 13000000 people have had the job, even though millions, if dances are available. but not all gone asians. a hesitant when some now lining up to get that booster shot. elvis a jetty, so on is electra and debris sat chair at the public, tertiary institution, and gone as capital across. he hasn't been to work the days following
12:45 am
a surgeon cove at 19 infections at his school. so i was staying away from work as a precaution. boswell, am i normally mother? and m m and t and who also have an ada conditions like diabetes like hyper tension i which also puts them at oxford console. that was a situation and, and, and that was a kind of apprehension i had that he via contract the, the virus, just some, did i time piece of wood. then i could also infect these people. either mine kate's all my, my, my, my, my parents or that was, i was a child and i shall come for this whole psychological twitter. so i went to his pope at schultz, at the peak of the pandemic. but regular visits like this to his elderly mother who
12:46 am
has diabetes and suffers from high blood pressure, means he must be better protected black. i'm sure he's already thinking of getting a booster shot somewhere. so far. garner has administered 17000000 covert doses to about 11000000 people. millions are still hesitant about vaccines in general. let alone getting a beast a shot. depression give me like a terrier with severe beings and air i was going to get to be picked about it. i thought they can in the block, so maybe i'm thinking about taking the 2nd one. you might even get m m a west or something. so i'm trying to avoid. yeah. as on our mood, i'm with beginning bath. yeah, i'm okay. no. so thinking the signal that they had one to me is very bad. i just select chicken if i don't get it. i have fast
12:47 am
feedback and having a complicated nelly marin ticket and i'm short out the group. we removed those who helped a health officials are concerned about the level of hesitancy towards the vaccine. their focus now is getting those who are vaccinated a booster shot we realize that after some time the immunity goes down. and so we need to reinforce jamini cause cove. it hasn't gone. corporate is norway. anyways, come to stay with us in a week. she put it bluntly and therefore we need to protect ourselves now that we know how the disease it transmits and how we can prevent it. of course, their best thing is to prevent yourself and therefore, reinforcing your immune system is very important. that is essence. although booster . ok, great today. so why is making inquiries about where to get his booster shot?
12:48 am
he has about a hospital, just 5 kilometers away from his home. this center just like many across the country is almost empty. so or is among just a few people who've come to day to be vaccinated really your day i have this conviction now that i have better immune system. i'm to put myself to put my family at our colleagues and of course my, my loved ones. so i'm excited. so what is going back to work for the 1st time in days? but now with his booster vaccination? he feels more confident now about his protection from pope at 19
12:49 am
in the 1st, nearly 2 years of the pandemic, africa was always lost when it came to vaccine supplies, not least because their window production sites, the vaccines in africa. german company by intake is now building a plant in london, but will it helped solve future problems? behind these inconspicuous signs are grand plans. here in the rwandan capital kigali, the german company beyond tech is building a plant for m r in a vaccines. c, e o, we are shaheen. welcomed the president of romando polka gamete along with other high ranking officials from other african countries. for them. this is not just about laying a foundation, stone, but about gaining expertise and highly qualified jobs, and being able to stand on their 2 feet during the pandemic. lanesha maxine manufacturing requires a height is scared human capital. i'm up at right now,
12:50 am
so that cabinet has approved establishment of african by a manufacturing institute, which would provide training and quality vacation for this industry. beyond tech aims to have the m r, n a production lines ready in 6 months. the 1st vaccines are scheduled to leave the factory in 18 months. this is made possible by what it calls the beyond tainer. it allows key elements of the vaccine production to be brought quickly to any place in the world using a modular process. the vaccine plant is also a hot topic, 30 kilometers away in the mood geena region. the people here live mainly from agriculture and getting to a doctor or hospital is a long and exhausting journey for many. no, not at all with you on the by,
12:51 am
on tax african m r n. a manufacturing plant will greatly help to prevent any disease that may occur in our country as well. and if these vaccines are manufactured hair, when the purchase price will not be high to the question that will help us to fight the next pandemic kind. his was his, like most other countries in africa, rwandan now has enough vaccine against coven 19. but in the 1st year and a half of the pandemic, it was very different. the vaccines were developed by companies in western industrialized countries and were 1st used to inoculate their own population. there was the international vaccine initiative kovacs, which was intended to bring vaccines to poorer countries, but deliveries were slow for a long time. dr gisela schneider has been supervising vaccination programs in africa for years. she saw the disappointment of the people there 1st and d u n. awfully kind of a young african say they need their own structures will call them these. at their
12:52 am
experience during corona virus, was the kovak sounded good as a but they still have to wait at the back of the kia yvonne. and yet, i want to take things into their own hands if they want the rights to continue their own. m r n a research to produce their own vaccines on. so i am stuff, it's supported ceiling in terms of africa having its own production sites for vaccines. beyond tech's work is a step in the right direction. but much of the expertise remains here at beyond tech. local researchers say they will only benefit if the patent rights are released. everyone wants to have a monumental section on the ground, and then we have to agree on a, on a collaboration plan, which is a complex project. and they have to agree who is contributing what that's why south african scientists are developing their own m, r. in a vaccine in cape town, to be independent of the patterns of west companies. it will take some time before average in delivers results. but the idea is that african countries will also have
12:53 am
access, not just to vaccines, but to all the technology at any charsche a report. so from new york's demise, it turns out have been greatly exaggerated far from leaving the big apple for good . more people are moving there now to before the pandemic, and that's pushing up the cost of living and hitting the poorest. ha ha! and oh, the will to protect his families whom he fabian bravo boys. he's fighting back against the rent increase back bill. i moved to the looking community, they would send us tenets, allen, to the street, where no fair life is possible. i leave you a little money for tens of thousands. life on the street is
12:54 am
already a reality. homelessness in new york is the highest. it has been in almost a 100 years. the main cause to little affordable housing. more people are returning to the city than before the pandemic. and they are looking for more space that's driving up prices. average rent prices up by a 3rd compared to 2021. and so our evictions. low income families like that of fabian bravo, are now in a bind. nora bravo works as a housekeeper, 7 days a week. yeah. she's already struggling as inflation is biting into the family budget. we're kicking before it goes out one eye and neither power. now he's got 2 nice things on the bow. so we have to change a little bit. before we like to more chicken, we lay only one. so we as this toys. so now we why more base double cucumber earth . um still larry, we looking for the deal. the family of 5 is crowded into
12:55 am
a 3 bedroom apartment. there building is designed to be affordable. the city regulates their rent increases. the increase this year will come to about $70.00 among caveon bravo had a work injury if somebody was back in was unemployed. that means a 17 year old daughter, samantha, you know, help with the extra cost instead of paying for it. let's see that when i, when i'm on there as days come was that was done my band look. when will signals they are killing teenagers? dreams. if i don't speak out, if i don't raise my voice, who will give them? huh. i don't want that as i was, i have to do it for my kids in for my family. and i, me, me from the other mas equals the city appointed board decided to raise the rent of 1000000 apartments in new york this summer. by making his case to them, fabian wants to keep in almost fordable in the future. he tells the board about the
12:56 am

1:00 am
how they can go with how they can also go terribly. watch it now on you tube. ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin. italy enters the new period of political instability. the president dissolves parliament paving the way for early elections . it follows the resignation of prime minister mario druggie after his national unity government collapsed. also coming up.
