lulu, it's waters connect people of many cultures, siena almost rock and jaffar door, korean drift along with exploring modern more styles and that a turing youth. where has history left its traces leading rainbow hailing their dreams. ready to do this week d, w. ah many people can only make ends meet and the cove 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 columbia 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 did people think of the end of coverage restrictions? dumb you marta is a taxi driver in paris and someone who still takes the cobra 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 extra careful uncle, he says,

people should not lower. they got either you, papa, i still g, samantha, my father was in a coma for 10 weeks when he got cove it not, he was in a desperate and really catastrophic state. luckily he came out of it is only for 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. any more questions. it's still dangerous sick of him. all these people are she not wearing masks? are actually gambling with their lives through the glory of it. but daniel is something of an exception in paris. on the mitchell that a 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 covered restrictions has been welcomed by many, especially at paris to his hot spot. after the 2 year 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 . there's no income on the streets. it's 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 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 asians return from the summer holidays triple killers. you thought it was the manella, the restrictions should be lifted progressively step by step and 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 that i strongly expect to rise and positive cobra cases. i thought thought them all asking normal to the 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, covered so far,

and 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? dw reporter stephanie over talk to epidemiologist and frank as from the university of applied sciences in ham back. he is part of a european task force that monitors panics. in san france, many of the current corona virus restrictions were lifted on august 1st. what do you think of that? endlessness politicize slang was a political decision. one's my conduct a lookin 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 becoming alleged on these omen and with all the restrictions lifted,

how can people be persuaded to wear masks again in the fall if infection them as rise, the signs lighter dofer's 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 wish woodson. that is it what, what a risk communication strategy look like. and among often when 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,

p to mosque for long distance travel, and on airplanes in germany. so 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 when and in places where vulnerable people live naturally. it makes sense not to introduce viruses. there is the sin doesn't make sense. the politicians have already rolled outside, the closure is locked 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, this is what soon isn't it?

but we can't be 100 percent. sure. how the situation will look in fall and winter winter dot judith is no 2. 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. a spike in faults against us. thus, food is 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

a lot of sense says, says info fee and and many thanks for the interview that i was trying to use from university of applied sciences in 100. you're welcome. paraguay became a target destination for german vaccination opponents during the pandemic. some even if that were falling cattle, vaccinated in mass supposed paradise. however, these channels 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. stuff on showtime as a german paraguayan lawyer, he ha, one mother who spent 6 months looking for

a daughter after she was abducted by her father in under captain gus i let us know isolated k. so there was a particularly sensitive one that we have several in paraguay audio got 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 the heart of thought. of course, in my opinion, it's just crazy kind of, i don't gonna know they leave everything of their old life behind homeless. they sell their houses, load up a container and just turn up here. let me know. 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 by a whine, noise, unfastened cancer, you an embryo, the only well over 1600 new arrivals from germany were processed by paragraphs,

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 them in and he had paraguay is not safer than germany. we spoke to gear mo, cicada and epidemiologists in charge of monitoring national health, simian alcaraz. hello, if they're hoping for good health care, or he and a well functioning health system, whereby paraguay is not the best choice yet it's handled 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 . oh no, no, no, no. and i will feed. and when i sophie paraguay is experiencing a 4th wave of coven 19,

but with death rates lower than in previous waves. cicadas concerned about the german influx for another reason. being acquainted by wyatt 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. the wrong bechtel. they'll take 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 me 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. well, 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 at 10 will not always 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 in debt, and i know april here in paraguay who opposed the vaccine in it. and they had their reasons, but they're in the minority, lot of yellows to my friends are in favor. the i seen this, he's on, well, for him person ha, folly 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 german supposed science. ah, i've gone the gauntlet, is it? and of course not all germans coming to paraguay do

ah, the contact restrictions during the cave it pandemic 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 covert and for social cohesion in 2020, in the midst of the corona virus pandemic, residents and experts created a crisis committee in the ma, he could be a $31.00 sub up of one of 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. it big dentist, economic affiliated u. l. detector was the name of a coven testing truck that the government sent around the various neighborhood didn't landed on the address. he noticed that he 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 were you serious? yeah. and we had free canteens of, you know, composing 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. and what does that mean, that can see 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 send that beautiful nonrefundable 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,

the most lucrative areas of final series, which makes it all the more important for people here to unite and mobilize. yeah, yeah, you're good, you know, 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, 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 post 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 talk loudly, good at young for the now and what it waterloo of what it was like, a network we had shelters, some people quoted up, 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 resumes to know the

true reality. and i said, i don't need an integrated, arguably. gotten them into the idea of 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 when did i feel today? our committee is strong. know 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, 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. 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 that 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

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. busy 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 o t i was in lockdown than 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 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 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, but also a log 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 covert 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 given for what 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 goble 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 they told us we could return to the sewing books, i was so happy. i said, okay,

well let's release the dove will fly again. and here we are now meeting and working with one another on friday. thank will max, yawning for many women. here, the sewing box is a refuge from the problems in bogota, z neighborhoods. elva 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 with that that i bought a sewing machine with the money i and already made. 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

they learned during the pandemic. sandra ala was their teacher though, i say, k, lamar, ellen is always new or potter, it never ends them or less. the embry 7 loyola. there are always new material, no new designs of the alley. every one want something new. the saying yours, it, alonzo. my passion never ends into the i you. ideas for clothes were born in the pandemic. went up by that up on damian. and those clothes are still around today. 15 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 soda sewing books survived upon jimmy, because we're like a siblings thought no from all from m. and we are take care of each other on the

fuel pumps. that's why it won't always keep going for us. a get us 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 so from this week's cove, it 19 special thanks for watching and see you next time. ah ah, with

who the science of urban evolution, a fish chasing pitch in mice, surviving fast food more accustomed to

using in the city. darwin would have been totally amazed. a d, w. to the point. strong opinions, clear positions, international perspectives. nearly 6 months into russia's attack on ukraine, a bloody war of attrition grinds on. could new developments behind the front lines to turn the tide can either side to break a stalemate, find out on the, to the point to the point with on d w. with how many push it out in the world right now to climate change. if any, off the story,

this is much less the way from just one week. how much was going to really get we still have time to go. i'm going all with his subscriber along with departure into the unknown. today. this means flying to a foreign planet. in the 16th century, the mental being a captain and setting sail to discover a route the world famous c. voyage of ferdinand of magellan. i'd rather erase linked to military interests, erase links to political and military christy, but also linked to many financial interests and adventure full of hardships, dangers and death 3 years. and that will change the world forever. but

jillions journey around the for september 7th on d. w. ah this is d w. news line from berlin crane's below to me as a linds keenholds talks with the leaders of turkey in the united nations, turkeys recham type air to one warns against another chernobyl with the safety of europe's largest nuclear power plant. that steak also coming up in the program, forest fires kill dozens, you know.
