and 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 is really the last long life. and worse fears of they're all gone out. i witnesses experienced the terrible events and this, the world should not forget the law shuttle. the $972.00 massacre starts september 3rd on 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 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 did people think of the end of coverage restrictions? dumb you marta is a taxi driver in paris and someone who still takes the cupboard 19 virus very seriously. he alleges was extraordinary dom, your keeps masks 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 covered. no, 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 barristers 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 and is all 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 court on a virus? few days ago, we've been to disneyland which is so crowded. and nobody was worrying, nobody was wearing a mass health authority,

a 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 or triple killers. you felt it was the know the restrictions should be lifted progressively step by step and not ended overnight. there are places like public transportation, we're pharmacies where the mask is recommended, but not mandatory. but it should. beal we have to take care of people who are vulnerable and at times seriously sick over the i strongly expect to rise in positive cobra cases. i thought thought to more as j normal to the girl 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 that

finally freedom serenity, hope for return to normal life or should we remain cautious about the risk of infection, dw, report as stephanie over talk to epidemiologist on frank as from the university of applied sciences in ham, back. he is part of the european task force that monitors pandemic in france, many of the current corona virus restrictions were lifted on august 1st. what do you think of that? there was no politician shlang was a political decision when, 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 listen with them via was god. but of course, at the end of the summer waves, the lip will make it easier for the virus to spread and france, you by calling alleged on these are men 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 later, the 1st news is a 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 their glitch associates wish woodson. that is it what a risk communication strategy look like. and among often, once i go, i openly and clearly showing how the virus is spread, but hong stuff. and by hurting the need for cooperation, collaboration from all parties to control it spread all 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 e o n 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 cat facilities, do you think that makes sense for the social it says and 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 they would be a nationwide mask mandate and local public transport to well 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 this in here,

but we can't be 100 percent. sure how the situation will look in fall and winter winter dot judy 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 forts 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 nerve. 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 fee and, and many thanks for the interview that i find here is from university of applied sciences in 100. you're welcome derrick. why 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 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. stefan showtime is a german paraguayan lawyer. he one mother who spent 6 months looking for

a daughter after she was abducted by her father in under casner who gus i let us know isolated case. so there was a particularly sensitive one. busy that we have several in paraguay, not even going 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 the leave. everything of their old life behind armoire. 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 live in, in paraguay. it's not that easy to find a job. for example, even if you do speak to language in by a whine, noise, on passing 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. analytical events have also played a role. i had to 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 epidemiologist in charge of monitoring national health, damien alcaraz. hello, if they're hoping for good health care or is he 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 . 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. a she too is concerned about the current trend. anyway, fema, i will not. cannot. i follow some channels on telegram dot comedy out email. i find some of the things posted by the germans who come here quite scary end of day. los alamos has given me, i. yeah. she's vaccinated against coven 19 to protect herself and others. she says many people are arriving from germany. come to her asking for a job boy,

but they don't want to get vaccinated. oh, it's a lot of money that way. it's a very diverse group take very large with different religion, once different opinions. and on the handle, somebody has a dark side to it tow 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 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 ahead with it. i wouldn't describe paraguay as any kind of paradise for germans to impose science. ha, 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 of the argentinian capital, when aside as 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 suburb 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 eltic tar it big dentist. their number is the letter u. l. detector was the name of a covey 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 why are you serious? yeah. and we had free canteens. i used to look at those. and one of the groups. biggest achievement, be laura, the, are they looking for it? call me, they're good, easy. we don't. 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 fancy that we weren't given much food from up early enough. the 57 portions did or not, 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, so i did the applewood. danielle moore center, the 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 buenos aires, which makes it all the more important for people here to unite and mobilize. yeah, 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 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 with atlanta for the now and what it waterloo. the thought 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 resumes to know the true reality. and i said, i don't need an integrated, arguably, gotten them into that really. i love 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. eli nice, yes, was the start of the fight for health rights in cor neighbourhood. so during the pandemic panel in malaria 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 covey 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 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 o t, i was in lockdown. venezuelan migrants in particular, had little chance of finding a job. what shops run by a local charity and to solve that in a setting watch up some very special clothes,

the 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 for 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 cray. our foundation. i mean, go into the not put by during locked down many migrant women experienced violence in their 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. a couple of jesse 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 on them or the head. okay. well, when they told us we could return to this setting box, i was so happy i said, okay,

let's release the door. we'll fly again. and here we are now meeting and talking with one another, already thankful macbeth yawning. for many women here, the sewing box is a refuge from the problems in bogota. 's 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 to get my thing it up there and it's great, but it sometimes gets jammed. now the women are sewing uniforms and applying what

they learned during the pandemic. sandra elia was there, teacher? no, i say gay. lamar, ellen is always new or potter. it never ends them or less the empress have in willa . there are always new material, no new design for the alley. every one once 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 up on them. yeah. under his 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 is bad. tick was too late. authority is selling books, survived the pandemic because we like the siblings. those know from all from m and

we, i'll take care of each other though. northbrook obama. that's why it will always keep going for us. okay. get as close and no set that 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 a little from this week's cove. it 19 special thanks for watching and see you next time. ah, ah, with

who to the point. strong opinions, clear positions, international perspectives. nearly 6 months in to 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 the stalemate. find out on to the point to a d, w. and they say real cowboys don't cry for wayne and rhonda, have every reason to forest fires and disastrous flights threatened their very existence along with other canadians. there. now learning that the old adage was wrong in finding new hope for the future in 3090 minutes, d. w. with

it, with the journey across the entire continent with a variety of cars. so work on this. so all the focus, the movers, shake of visionaries and made it when binding the meaning of modern africa. that is that from egg and d, w long has no limits. love is for everybody. love is live, a love matters and that's my new podcast. i'm evelyn char, mom and i really think we need to talk about all the topics that north divide and united with this. i have invited many deer and well known guests. and i would like to invite you to an end ah

ah ah ah, this is the w. news lies from berlin. warnings from ukraine of potential disaster, europe's largest nuclear power stage. ukranian officials say some plant workers are being kept away, raising new safety fits. we hear from an engineer from the facility about the struggles and keep it running under russia.
