gatherings, he said, cooperation becomes the scene of a horrible tragedy. arab terrors, armed with sub machine guns, went to the headquarters of the israeli team, and immediately killed one man. and that this will be the last long life or worse fears of. they're all gone. how i witnesses experienced the terrible events and this, the world should not forget the law shuttle. the $972.00 olympic massacre starts september, 3rd on d. w. ah, many people can only make ends meet and the covert 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 successful social projects in argentina and colombia,
12:31 am
and will be asking how to get the balance rights 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 cove, it restrictions have been lifted. despite the summer wave of infections that has just swept across europe, the governments reasoning 80 percent of the population is fairly 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. he alleges with his 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 that has made him external careful,
12:32 am
bianco. he says people should not look, they got either you or by other steer g samantha. my father was in a coma for 10 weeks when he got cove it not, he was in a desperate and really trellis traffic state. luckily he came out of it is on it, so i prefer not to take any risk on doing after everything we've lived through, i'm surprised that people don't take any precautions anymore. i was wrong. it's still dangerous. sick of him. all these people are she 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 metal, 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
12:33 am
includes everything from gulf views, emergency locked 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 code on of i, it was few days ago we've been to disneyland which is so crowded. and nobody was worry and nobody was wearing a mask. health authorities are still monitoring new infections. and the end of the
12:34 am
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 kill. you who felt it was the renewal or the restrictions should be lifted progressively step by step and not ended overnight 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 them all, asking normal things that go dummy martin for his spot but isn't taking any chances. he preps his taxi carefully before taking on his next passenger. damina has not contracted call with so far and
12:35 am
he intends to keep it fresh. finally, freedom, serenity, hope for return to normal life or should we remain cautious about the risk of infection. d, w reporter stephanie turbo, talk to epidemiologist on franchise from the university of applied sciences and hamburg. he's part of a european task force that monitors and annex in san france. many of the current corona virus restrictions were lifted on august 1st . what do you think of that? endlessness politicize on 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. you because going alleged on these omen. and with all the restrictions lifted,
12:36 am
how can people be persuaded to wear mosques again in the fall? if infection hm. as rise the signs, lighter dofer's noses or go to musical. and 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 glitch associates, woodson. and is it what a risk communication strategy look like? and among often and i go, i openly and clearly showing how the virus is spread but hong stuffy and by hurting the need for cooperation. collaboration from all parties to control it spread to controller out and drank. meaning that we're in the same boat and that we want to move forward and not experience and other 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. first, it will be mandatory to an f, f,
12:37 am
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 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 nationwide mask mandate and local public transport to and in places where vulnerable people live naturally. it makes sense and not to introduce viruses. there is the sin doesn't make sense. the politicians have already rolled outside the closures and not dunst. does this as, as i go to fog? that's a very, very good question. we're all hoping that these measures won't become necessary. again, this is what soon isn't here,
12:38 am
but we can't be 100 percent. sure. how the situation will look in fall and winter winter dot judith is not. and then of course, from an epidemiological perspective, we can't rule out any measures at the moment. you rather try to do everything possible to avoid it, is it's a formation. thus, what would you do differently if you are making the decisions? it's been vision shuffler on term for super well, i'm a scientist and i'm trying to make sense of the pandemic and proceed accordingly. it's been force against us, thus through the sig, i would very much like to try that with a different risk communication strategy to further increase trust to 4 buttons with us. we are either of them so that we can all enjoy our freedom with the right awareness and the knowledge and also know where our limits are, where the dangers lie, hilton on to stink her her. and i think mask mandates indoors. for example, in all public buildings in the fall and winter would certainly make
12:39 am
a lot of sense system says in full fee and, and many thanks for the interview that i find here is from university of applied sciences in 100. you're welcome. paraguay became a target destination for german vaccination. opponents cheering upon dominic, some even if that were falling cattle, vaccinated in mass supposed paradise. however, these jones are not particularly welcome, paraguay is relaxed. cobra rules have seen german anti vaccines, flocked to the country. there are 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. stefan showtime is a german paraguayan lawyer. he ha, one mother who spent 6 months looking for
12:40 am
a daughter after she was abducted by her father under cousin ahem. gussie let us know isolated case. so there was a particularly sensitive one that we have several in paraguay audio and what away he says many come without knowing anything about paraguay, and then struggle like that amazon k. there are plenty of quite extreme cases where people arrive in paraguay without knowing anything of the language or the conditions here in our thought, of course, in my opinion, it's just crazy kind of, i don't gonna know we leave everything of their old life behind. um, they sell their houses, load up a container and just turn up here, may not okay. then you're not in many of them come with children to buy any they are in in paraguay. it's not that easy to find a job. for example, even if you do speak to language and by a white noise on passing cleanser you an embryo, the only well over 1600 new arrivals from germany were processed by paragraphs,
12:41 am
immigration authorities in 2021. that's nearly 3 times as many as the year before. and always the most. those are the numbers of shut up over the last 2 years because of the corona virus in what a medical events have also played a role. i took political like the warn you crane or huge. many of these people are worried about. they were gonna electrical, but i'm in and he had paraguay is not safer than germany. we spoke to gear mo, cicada and epidemiologist, in charge of monitoring national health, simian 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 9. our health system is one of the most precarious in the americas. many that i can see that people coming from countries like germany and austria are going to suffer here on our lawn, us feed. and when i supreme paraguay is experiencing
12:42 am
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 i can. and, 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 reintroduce when you don't have a good health system. optical, they'll pick it myself because we've come to the german paraguayan cultural institute. it's director z mona how to wish moved here from germany 22 years ago. she too was concerned about the current trend. if they were a theme i, i will not cannot. i follow some channels on telegram dot com reality email. i find some of the things posted by the germans who come here quite scary end of day. los alamos, 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,
12:43 am
but they don't want to get vaccinated, although it's a lot of money that way. it's very diverse. great. take very large 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 i know people here in paraguay who opposed the vaccine in it and they had their reasons not, but they're in the minority. a 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. you know, go get help with it. i wouldn't describe paraguay as any kind of paradise for germans to impose science. ah, i've gone the gauntlet. is it? and of course not all germans coming to paraguay do who the contact restrictions during the cave. it pandemic
12:44 am
had massive social consequences for many people. in poor neighborhoods, they argentinian capital. when aside, its 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 sub up 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 athletic tar elizabeth dennis at number cafe linear. l detector was the name of a covey testing truck that the government sent around the various neighborhood. you know, the last one, the address, you know, says that he could walk up, you get swapped in, you'd have your result within 24 hours. oh, if it was positive,
12:45 am
you'd be taken to a covey toto to isolate. ha, then. wow. you said, okay. wow. and we had free canteens. yes. or no, comment those one of the groups biggest achievement larvae or they look for it. call me, they're good, easy. we don't, thanks to the committee, these free neighborhood canteens, multiplied and strengthened during the pandemic. they were funded by government subsidies and donations from private institutions. and what does that mean that fancy that we weren't given much food form up early enough? 57 portions did a lot, 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 british will never scanned the whole me there. for decades, the city government has been trying to strategically expel people from him or he can neighborhood. it's located very close to the financial district and the port,
12:46 am
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 it. 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 south. 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 hair 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
12:47 am
a lot of issues to light that people didn't know about only in the resumes to know the true reality. and i said, i know the doc integrated and arguably hello forgotten their mental at aol 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 people call me to think wind up 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,
12:48 am
what would you like to know about pay? the 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. 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 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 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
12:49 am
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 protective benefits. other genes linked to the
12:50 am
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 one area that's being looked at closely is what's called the ace to receptor . that's a protein on
12:51 am
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, darker tile was unlocked down than his wayland migrants in particular, had little chance of finding a job. what shops run by
12:52 am
a local charity ain't to so fat. in his selling watch up, some 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 when 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 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. i walked off along the dress is an example of
12:53 am
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 covert restrictions. the sewing box is an initiative of the pro, carry our foundation gallery in can he not put by during locked down many migrant women experienced violence and now shelters given for what we were looking for? a sanctuary up in europe. the sewing blocks gives women the opportunity to have a safe place and an income level, and to put their sewing ideas into action, such as designing symbolic dresses, that they can start a small business and earn money for what they do. their policy. during locked down, the sewing box was forced to close when it reopened, the women here set to work, making masks and protective suits or think one on or the head. okay. well, when we told, if we could return to this setting box, i was so happy. i said, okay,
12:54 am
well let's release the dog will fly again. and here we are now meeting and talking with one another on friday. thank well my fione for many women year the sewing box is a refuge from the problems in bogota, z neighborhoods about in the neighborhood here isn't as dear to me as my original hang on venezuela. but the selling box is when i, so i get distance from the problems in the area. then it says, if i'm not here, is if this neighborhood didn't exist yet with the money they earned after the lockdown, 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. so yeah, i figure it out there, but it's great, but it sometimes gets jammed. now the women are sewing uniforms and applying what
12:55 am
they learned during the pandemic. sandra elia was their teacher, douglas eyes gay. lamar, ellen is always new or potter. it never ends them or less, the empress heaven willa. there are always new material, no new designs of the alley. every one wants something new. the saying yours? it, alonzo. my passion never ends into the i you ideas for clothes were born in the pandemic minute, but i'll upon them in under his clothes are still around today the see this year or director. yes. then lots of businesses went bust during the pandemic. but the sewing box made it through it bad to close to little. so the sewing box survived the pandemic because we like the siblings thought no
12:56 am
formal from m. and we are take care of each other on the fuel pumps. that's why it will always keep going for us. okay. get us close and the women will continue to meet here at their refuge. it makes them feel like they're part of something very special and that so from this week's cove, it 19 special thanks for watching and see you next time. ah ah, with
