his successes in a weekly coven, going to his special on d w. they want to know what makes the german here just then the german love and bad english the for way. but i'm not even know how to work my own god, and everyone with later holes and everything today. first getting, are you ready to meet the german, then join me, rachel stuart, and d. w. ah, many people can only make ends meet and nick over pandemic by somehow supporting themselves. people on low incomes often fall through the cracks of politics and the authorities. this week will be showing you some success for social projects in argentina and colombia,

and will be asking how to get the balance right between cautiousness and the longing for a half way normal life in the face of continuing high infection rates. like in france, where almost all covey restrictions have been lifted. despite the summer wave of infections that has just swept across europe, the government's reasoning, 80 percent of the population is fully vaccinated, and infection rates are largely stabled. we asked around in the capital, paris. what do people think of the end of cove? it restrictions dumb you marta is a taxi driver in paris and someone who's still takes the cupboard 19 virus very seriously. here legislative jordan, dom your keeps mosques and to have sanitizers ready for his passengers. the cab driver nearly lost his father to the corona virus during the 1st wave 2 years ago. an experience let us meet him extra, careful,

bianco. he says people should not lower their god either. you, papa, i steer you samantha. my father was in a coma for 10 weeks when he got covert nozzle, he was in a desperate and really relish traffic state. luckily he came out of it is on it, so i prefer not to take any risk upon doing after everything we've lived through, i'm surprised that people don't take any precautions anymore or what's wrong. it's still dangerous sick. i'm in all these people. i see not wearing masks, are actually gambling with their lives issue of a lot of it. but daniel is something of an exception in paris. on the mitchell, there are few signs of passengers taking precautionary measures in made. the government said people were no longer required to wear masks on public transportation. now the authorities have gone further. the french parliament recently adopted a bill lifting a state of health emergency imposed at the beginning of the pandemic. starting august 1st. all measures put in place to fight cove. it in france have ended. that

includes everything from gulf views, emergency lock downs, the more to working the wearing of face masks, and holding a health boss to access museums or restaurants. ah, the lifting of cobit restrictions has been welcomed by many, especially at viruses to his hotspots. after 2 years break visitors a once again flocking to the french capital. oh, i don't think imposing restrictions on people is a good thing. we're all human and we're all free. it goes against personal liberty and is all incoming on the streets at so much nicer. now to see people's faces, to see them smiling is so much more livable. but others remain weary. who is still afraid of the new very end of the court on a virus? few days ago, we've been to disneyland which is so crowded. and nobody was worry and nobody was wearing a mass health authorities are still monitoring new infections. and the end of the

state of health emergency has not changed. frances policy on testing, this pharmacy says the number of people coming in for covert tests has dropped drastically. but that could change once, but regions returned from the summer holidays triple killers. you thought it was the manella, the restrictions should be lifted progressively. step by step are not ended over night because there are places like public transportation. we're pharmacies where the mask is recommended, but not mandatory, but it should be a we have to take care of people who are vulnerable and at times seriously sick over there, i strongly expect to rise in positive cobra cases. i thought thought to more as jim normal, the vicar dummy martin, for his part, but isn't taking any chances. he preps his taxi carefully before taking on his next passenger. damina has not contracted covered so far,

and he intends to keep it bash. finally, freedom, serenity, hope for return to normal life or should we remain cautious about the risk of infection? dw reporter stephanie turbo, talk to epidemiologist and frank as from the university of applied sciences in ham . back. he is part of the european task force that monitors pandemic in san france, many of the current corona virus restrictions were lifted on august 1st. what do you think of that? endlessness politicized slang was a political decision. once, when conduct a looking on the one hand, one can really understand the people who are sick and tired of the pandemic does fit on to religion with him, fuels god. but of course, at the end of the summer waves, the lip will make it easier for the virus to spread in france. dba calling alliston,

these are monday with all the restrictions lifted. how can people be persuaded to wear masks again in the fall if infection them as rise? the signs later, the 1st noses or go to music woocommerce? what's really, really important is a clear risk communication strategy also. so that in the fall it's made absolutely clear how high the risk of reinfection is in order to motivate people to protect themselves properly. and their glitch associates, woodson and he's, it was what erase communications strategy look like. and among often went or do i openly and clearly showing how the virus is spread, but hong stuff. and by hurting the need for co operation, collaboration from all parties to control it spread was controller out and drank, meaning that we're in the same boat and that we want to move forward and not experience another extremely big wave in the fall and winter or villa l. o and dine . germany ministers have proposed a reg not for the full from october 1st it will be mandatory to an f, f,

p to mosque for long distance travel and on airplanes in germany. as well as a mosque and test mandate in hospitals and care facilities. do you think that makes sense for the social it says in for us, it certainly makes a lot of sense. right now, a lot of people are coming close to one another on public transport on a regular basis is often over extended periods of time. now on trains and airplanes for people sit next to each other for long periods of time. and that's where a mask mandate is extremely helpful. if not, it would be great if there would be a nation wide mask mandate on local public transport to well and in places where vulnerable people live naturally. it makes sense not to introduce viruses. there is the sin, different makes sense that politicians have already rolled outside closures and knock down st. joseph missouri as i go to fog. that's a very, very good question. we're all hoping that these measures won't become necessary again visited soon. vincent. yes. but we can't be 100 percent. sure how the

situation will look in fall and winter winter dot judith ish no to and then of course, from an epidemiological perspective, we can't rule out any measures at the moment. rather try to do everything possible to avoid it. is it's a formation thus, what would you do differently if you were making the decisions? it's been misanthropy low on term for soccer. well, i'm a scientist and i'm trying to make sense of the pandemic, and proceed accordingly. a spike in faults against us. thus, rooney sig, i would very much like to try that with a different risk communication strategy to further increased trust or to for buttons with us. we are a lot of them so that we can all enjoy our freedom with the right awareness and the knowledge and also know where our limits. arson, where the dangers lie, hotel, she own to stink her her. and i think mask mandates indoors. for example, in all public buildings in the fall and winter would certainly make

a lot of sense as it says in full field. and many thanks to the interview that i find here is from the university of applied sciences in 100. you're welcome. paraguay became a target destination for jam in vaccination opponents during the panoramic. some even if that were foley catheter vaccinated in our supposed paradise. however, these channels are not particularly welcome, paraguay is relaxed. cobra rules have seen german anti vaccines, flocked to the country. there even been cases where a parent has taken their child to paraguay without the other parent knowing all to escape the vaccine. overall several 1000 germans have arrived in the south american country which as one of the world's worst health systems. stuff on showtime is a german paraguayan lawyer. he one mother who's been 6 months looking for

a daughter after she was abducted by her father in under cassandra. gus, i let us know isolated case. so there was a particularly sensitive one that we have several in paraguay. how do you? i'm going away. he says many come without knowing anything about paraguay, and then struggle. like for amazon k, there are plenty of quite extreme cases where people arrive in paraguay without knowing anything of the language or the conditions here. the near the heart of thought, of course, in my opinion, it's just crazy cutting. i don't gonna know, believe everything of their old life behind homeless. they sell their houses, load up a container and just turn up here. you may not get in your knob and many of them come with children to buy and look in here and in paraguay, it's not that easy to find a job. for example, even if you do speak to language by allowing oil on passing cancer, you don't and player the only well over 1600 new arrivals from germany were

processed by paraguay immigration authorities in 2021. that's nearly 3 times as many as the year before. we do most, those are the numbers of shot up over the last 2 years because of the corona virus in little events have also played a role lied to political like the war and ukraine, which many of these people are worried about. yeah, they were glad. yeah. electrical, but i'm in and he had paraguay is not safer than germany. we spoke to gear mussa keta, an epidemiologist in charge of monitoring national health. he n alcaraz hello, if they're hoping for good health care holes in a well functioning health system, whereby paraguay is not the best choice yet it's huddled when us will be 90. our health system is one of the most precarious in the americas. many, i can see that people coming from countries like germany and austria are going to suffer here. oh no, no, no, no one else will feed. and when i sophie paraguay is experiencing

a 4th wave of coven 19, but with death rates lower than in previous waves. so ketter's concerned about the german influx for another reason being a canon, but elias epidemics that have not existed in paraguay for more than 20 years could be reintroduced things like measles, for example. there are polio which we haven't had for more than 30 years. and so these are diseases that people who are not vaccinated can re introduce when you don't have a good health system rental optical. they'll pick it last a little bit. got you. we've come to the german paraguayan cultural institute, it's director z mona. how to wish moved here from germany 22 years ago a she to is concerned about the current trend. anyway. see my i will not cannot. i follow some channels on telegram dot com reality. amy, i find some of the things posted by the germans who come here quite scary end of the los alamos as given. ne, i. yeah. she's vaccinated against coven 19 to protect herself and others. she says many people arriving from germany come to her asking for a job boy,

but they don't want to get vaccinated. although it's a lot of money that way. it's a very diverse group. take very launch with different religion, once different opinions. and on the n dot com, but as a docs i to a toll lot or was caught the new arrivals mean the german community here is much more diverse lars class and grew up here. he's a computer programmer of german mennonite origin or north bought him that and i know people here in paraguay who opposed the vaccine in it and they had their reasons not, but they're in the minority. lot of yellows to my friends are in favor that i've seen this. he's on well for him, person. ha, fowler laughlin. he himself has 3 covered vaccine chunks, just like his wife and children. in a girl at app is if i wouldn't describe paraguay as any kind of paradise for german suppose science. ah, i've gone the gauntlet. is it? and of course not all germans coming to terrible. i do.

oh, the contact restrictions during the cave it pandemic had massive social consequences . for many people in poor neighborhoods, they argentinian capital. when aside as neighbors set up, community support groups and the idea became a huge success. but in the fight against cove it and for social cohesion in 2020, in the midst of the corona virus pandemic residence in experts created a crisis committee in the ma, he could be a $31.00 suburb of one off iris. it was set up to address the needs of the locals. the committee was even recognized by the government founding member. so varner olivera tells us about some of the groups biggest successes, including altitude tar, elliptic, dennis at number cafe linear. l detector was the name of a covey testing truck that the government sent around the various neighborhood. don't the last one, the address you notice that you could walk up, you get swapped in, you'd have your result within 24 hours. oh, if it was positive,

you'd be taken to a covey toto to isolate. ha, then what you said was true and we had free canteens of, you know, commit those. and one of the groups biggest achievement larvae, or they look for it, call me, they're good, easy. we don't have enough thanks to the committee, these free neighborhood canteens multiply it and strengthens during the pandemic. they were funded by government subsidies and donations from private institutions. i'm a, what does that mean? that fancy that we weren't given much food, formal, early enough, 57 portions, they're not hooked up, but we always made more than 57 portions because so many people had lost their jobs . during the pandemic, we had hundreds of people looking for food with with they me, i'm or 10th, or the persona refundable me there. for decades, the city government has been trying to strategically expel people from him or he can neighbor it. it's located very close to the financial district and the port,

the most lucrative areas of final series, which makes it all the more important for people here to unite and mobilize. yes, yeah, you're good, you need to do. if there's one thing that people in poor neighborhoods of argentine are known for or in any vulnerable community in the world, in fact it's self organization. it is around ah, the committee couldn't meet during the 1st wave of co fed due to the restrictions imposed by the argentinian government. but the cristo berrera church then offered its facilities to the group to meet under strict povich requirements. it was here that most of the suggestions put forward by the committee was set in motion. priest guillermo torres was in charge at the time when i don't documented good at young for the now and what it waterloo afloat. it was like a network, we had shelters, some people quoted us, some gave help advice, others looked after the elderly at home. the committee also brought

a lot of issues to light that people didn't know about only on the resumes to know the true reality. and i said, i don't need an integrated and arguably gotten their men did i, jojo, up in the more he kaffir 31 neighborhood is home to most of the capitals manual workers and day laborers. forming, organized groups is especially important in these impoverished areas of the country because they make the problems that burden them more visible. i know the local me dissing wonderful. today our committee is strong number. we clearly set an example of how to fight for your neighborhood. matthew don't have that up because other crisis committees were lay to set up elsewhere. illini see, this was the start of the fight for health rights in poor neighborhoods. during the pandemic panel, in the latter popularity, the neighborhood is currently undergoing a re development project, which is followed and monitored by the committee. the group hopes to continue that work after the pandemic. ah,

what would you like to know about pay that? ah, science editor derek williams has the low down on the latest research and analysis . just write a caveat producer at t w dot com this week counts is the question to some people have genes that give them advantages against k that 19. 0, this is a super interesting question and, and one where lots of research is going on and a lot of different areas. let's look at a few of them starting with blood types, which of course, are genetically determined. i'm since the early days of the pandemic, there have been many, many studies on whether your blood group could play a role and cove, its severity or mortality. i'm like this fairly recent one from researchers at king's college in the u. k, which looked at 3000 different proteins found in blood. now it found that 6

variance seem to make the disease worse if you have them, while aid variance seem to make it better. but there's of course, no smoking gun that says one blood type saves or condemns you. people of all blood types can and do get the disease. another area where genes could play a role is and how they impact on immune response. a recent study by german researchers that looked at that question found that a particular variant of a gene called g and b 3 that it seems to be linked to lower mortality. now g and b 3 plays a role in activating immune cells. so it would kind of make sense if a highly effective, very end of it provided some clear protect of benefits,

some other genes linked to the immune system. also almost certainly feed and to risk. for example, those that make some people more likely to develop diabetes or those that make people more likely to experience a life threatening cytokines storm if they catch the disease. finally, there is the idea that some people might actually be genetically immune to cova 19 hypothetical territory. we know, for example, that having highly specific variance of a particular gene that, that makes a small group of people basically, immune to h i v. they simply don't catch it. might there be similar genetic variance that could somehow prevent someone from catching covered? maybe a one area that's being looked at closely is what's called the ace to receptor. that's a protein on

a cell surface that the virus subverts to break again. now, if someone's genes cause them to produce an altered version of ace to it could at least in theory, prevent the virus from latching on, making that person effectively immune. now if that kind of genetic variant exists a big if, then the group of people who have it is likely very small, but it would be great to discover something like that because it would give researchers designing medications against the disease or a really massive foot forward just as it did with designing medications for treating h i b m o. when columbia is capital dog r t, i was in lockdown then his wayland migrants in particular, had little chance of finding a job. quite shops run by

a local charity and to solve that in a setting workshops and very special clothes were created with each garment also representing a chance for a better life. one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in bogota, whimsical dresses are on display. they were made during the pandemic and tell of the dreams of venezuelan migrant women. one in particular stands out in the colors of the flags of columbia and venezuela. about hello am i right at the so in books we made the dress of dreams come with it includes people from venezuela as well as columbia nationality doesn't matter of africa. it means that we're all united by the dressing baker boys. so let me the okay, we asked the women at the sewing books to write messages that spoke to everyone's dreams. and then we'll started writing down our dreams and setting them together for a walk off her la la dress is an example of a sewing box collaboration,

created after the lockdown during the cove. it waves. the 15 women who worked on the dress had been badly affected by the covered restrictions. the sewing box is an initiative of the pro, carry our foundation gallery. ellen, can he not put by during locked down many migrant women experienced violence and now shelters jennifer? we were looking for a sanctuary. i've been in europe. the sewing blocks gives women the opportunity to have a safe place and an income global land to put their sewing ideas into action, such as designing symbolic dresses me that they can start a small business and earn money for what they do. apollo cassie during locked down the sewing box, was forced to close, wended, reopened. the women here set to work, making masks and protective suits, or thick one on the head. okay, well, when we told, if we could return to the sewing box, i was so happy. i said, okay,

well let's release the dog will fly again. and here we are now meeting and talking with one another on friday. thank will mccarthy, yawning for many women. here, the sewing box is a refuge from the problems in bogota, z neighborhoods. is that in the neighborhood here isn't as dear to me as my original higher than as whaler. but the selling box is when i so i can distance from the problems in the area, then it, if i'm not here, as if this neighborhood didn't exist yet with the money they earned after the locked down, the women have begun to realize their dream to be able to make a living from sewing and designing clothes. oh, when i get them i started to work at that i bought a sewing machine with the money. i didn't go very near. okay. i call it signor to paper to get my thing it up there. but it's great, but it sometimes gets jammed. now the women are sewing uniforms and applying what

they learned during the pandemic. santo liar was their teacher, douglas hays. k. lamar is always new, or part of it never ends them or less, the empress. however, there are always new material as new design to the alley. everyone wants something new, the saying, your it, alonzo. my passion never ends into the i you ideas for clothes were born in the pandemic or not, but i'll upon them in under his clothes. are still around today to see this. yeah. oh, dear poor yes. then lots of businesses went bust during the pandemic . but the sewing box made it through it bad to close to little soda sewing box survived pandemic because we're like siblings thought no formal from m.

and we'll take care of each other. so enough broken promise. that's why it will always keep going for us to get as close. and the 2nd the women will continue to meet here at their refuge. it makes them feel like they're part of something very special and that's all from this week's cove. it 19 special thanks for watching and see you next time. ah ah
