and so, as michael ryan says, "we have more uncertainty now."ung age. dame rachel de souza says young people want their parents to broach these topics. she's written a new guide — with the help of teenagers and young adults. the "overriding" message from the group of 16 to 21—year—olds consulted was to "talk early, talk often". parents are advised to keep the conversation going to ensure there is no "awkwardness" or "taboo" subjects. it also suggests that parents should talk about the risks of sharing pictures when they first give their child a phone — and explain early on that they might be sent naked pictures. let's hearfrom dame rachel de souza on how the guide came about. ——donna jones is the the association of police and crime commissioners' joint victims lead. here's what she thinks of the report. most children in great britain get a smartphone between the ages of 10—12, often when they start secondary school. nowadays, on a smartphone, within three clicks, you can be accessing free and sometimes quite brutalised pornography. it is normali

as michael ryan says there is still an awful lot we don't know about this new variant.a third booster will largely be protected from the omicron variant, as effectively as those with two doses fought off the original strain. in south africa research showed antibodies from the pfizer vaccine were around lto times less effective against omicron. but the study found antibodies from people who had been vaccinated — as well as those naturally infected with covid — were still effective — which reinforces this idea that boosting antibodies with a third dose will be critical. let's talk to alex sigal, professor at the africa health research institute in south africa. he did this research over the last few weeks. in terms of whether the symptoms or whether people who get this virus have symptoms are not, does that depend on how recently they had been vaccinated? we don't know that directly, _ they had been vaccinated? we don't know that directly, so _ they had been vaccinated? we don't know that directly, so right - they had been vaccinated? we don't know that directly, so right

dr michael ryan, the executive director of the who's health emergencies programme, said in his view it the wrong approach. there are ways that you can de—risk travel in terms of having increased testing, more testing before departure, more testing on arrival, quarantine until negative testing. there's a whole series of things that can be done that will manage the risk of importation of disease or even exporting disease to another country which fall short of blanket bans. dr ryan said the emergence of omicron is the result of the enormous vaccine inequity in poorer countries. barely 3% of the people in africa have been vaccinated. today, the who's member countries agreed to begin work on an international treaty which will set down new rules on how we prepare and respond to future pandemics. at the heart of it is an attempt to improve access vaccines and the means to manufacture them. i'm joined tonight by dr peter singer, special adviser to the director general of the world health organization. lovely to have you with us on the programme. iwonder lovely to have you with us on the progra
