thank you so much, professor, band colleagues from the university of hong kong. a number of european countries have recorded record high temperatures for january in recent days. unseasonably warm weather sweeps across the continent. poland. so temperature that reach 19 celsius on yes day. it was one of 9 countries to set new national records in romania capital book, harassed. it felt like spring with the mom sitting 20 degrees. the balmy conditions of course, havoc in the were in the winter tourism industry. with ski resorts struggling with a lack of snow. scientists of warm extreme weather will continue without taking a drastic measures to stop global warming. climate report a tim showing the cast this outlook for the climate in the year ahead. devastating floods, droughts, apocalyptic storms and rising sea levels. the past year in the u. s. pakistan, italy, and the horn of africa was just the beginning. the scientists are able to give an attribution very quickly to pakistan flood. they gave an attribution 50 percent more, a flood because of human induced climate

researchers at the chinese university of hong kong created this is new so-called phase shifting materialembedding magnetic particles in gallium. that's a metal with a very low melting point. so while the team does not see this innovation threatening humanity like in the terminator movie, they do see this being one day use to help remove foreign objects from the body and maybe other hard to reach places. i don't know a little spooky. yeah, area fascinating slash creepy, right? >> maybe some more of a positive outlook for the forecast. hey, listen, i were in my 40 niners red today. i watched the last game even though we all know i'm not that sporty, but i kind of got into it because it was a great game. and i wanted to forecast for them as they head to philly. philly can be notoriously frozen. i lived there before. it's going to be great. we're looking out on sunday for 52 degrees at kickoff time. that's fantastic. cloudy skies. sure, but slight rain. we're not talking about snow. we're not talking about that is very fortunate. so i think they're going to have a good run. and so we wish th

of that massive travel around the country. as a professor, ben cowling epidemiologist up from hong kong university. i. brazil has been an emotional farewell to football legend. pele da strike was laid to rest in his home city santos, a fancy for hours to pay their respects. oh, emotions were running high as hundreds of thousands of people gathered to see the procession of pallet's coffin through the city. the 3 time world cup winner died on thursday. at the age of 82 the world owes a lot to pillay, especially the dignity of a man that was born poor black bob in a countryway wretchedness is still high. and play did not let this affect him if he knew how to be politely shaped the best and the most humble. mitchell, i'm very said. a few people packed the streets, standing on roof tops and leaning from balconies to get a glimpse of the brazilian icon. the procession came to a halt when it passed the house where his 100 year old mother still lives. it was a day of mourning for the men brazilians called our king, but for many, it was a moment to celebrate him to you. polite ne, represents a lot because s

hong kong. earlier i spoke to rana mitter — director of the university of oxford's china centre.at he made of the speed of the change. i suspect now that many observers will think that this has been in the works actually for a few weeks. the number of cases that was rising in china, the number of covid cases that simply couldn't be controlled by the zero—covid lockdown policy was almost certainly becoming so great that the change would have had to come within the next couple of months anyway. but the protests, you will remember a month ago there were protests on the street in china, really very rare indeed, and they were also being encouraged by social media, would probably have pushed the chinese government into changing the policy even more swiftly. in that context it helps them to get to where they want to go, which is to take people's attention away from covid and instead towards growing the economy which they want to be the china story of 2023. how much do you think it is the economic cost to china and how much is at the protests we have been witnessing? i think that overall

reporter: the agony of the pandemic has come full circle, back to china and tearing through this country at a rate not seen in many places. an epidemiologist at hong kong universityently this variant has an r factor of 15 or 16. that means for every one person who is positive for covid, they infect 15 or 16 other people. and in the world's most populated country, that means a very intense covid wave. the figures that were released on saturday came as a bit of a surprise. china had been criticized, even by the world health organization for not sharing enough data about covid deaths. so the total went from fewer than three dozen covid deaths because of the way that china defines or measures the death toll here, to 60,000 covid-related deaths. that's only at chinese hospitals. that doesn't include people who have died at nursing homes or care facilities. doesn't include people who have died at home. these are only lab confirmed cases. so it doesn't include people who have died over the past month who were never tested for covid. there is still the expectation that this is a sadly under reported number, and experts are still looking for data on hospitalizations, on t

chinese vaccine tourism. joining us as epidemiologist been carrying for the school of public health at hong kong university. thank you for joining the program. i guess my 1st question is, given the week efficacy of the sino vac vaccine, does it make sense for those coming from mainland china to have just one by violent booster or is their talk of simply starting over from 0 so to speak and putting folks on that initial to shot regimen. what if you remember, early in the pandemic when the vaccine trial results are 1st coming out, sign of i can sign up on the, to activate vaccines from china had relatively lower efficacy compared to the, the m r renee vaccines for example. but now with all mc on, the situation actually changed. the inactivated vaccines are not very good as stopping infection, but neither the fires of vaccine or the madonna vaccine. ah, all the vaccines available, including the inactivate vaccines are very good at stopping severe disease. and thus, the, the main concern for many people is that they don't get severe covered. so i'm not sure this justification to ask people who's got the inacti
