Beneath your feet the chronic price price is just a simple thats that the Climate Crisis never once been made thats right and unless we see this crisis we will be able to do so for so. It comes after a long pause for the fridays for future movement which was forced to move online as corona virus spread definitely the beginning of march it very much though down our problems because we were planning to have a really big strike in april however it has given us time to connect as a movement internationally across borders there were a lot closer and now its a movement the overly even if we cant physically be as many. Here demonstrating students have been striking on fridays for more than 2 years and humans are main the same in all that time to put pressure on those in power before the damage becomes irreversible nowhere is that more pressing than in the arctic were past the point of a wakeup overpass a point of ignorance we have to act now or were going to lose everything.

Other french cities are also bracing for tougher restrictions in the capital paris bars and restaurants will have to shut at 10 pm. Lets get some perspective on the story now we have John Campbell with us hes a Health Analyst and educator in carlisle england hi john good to have you with us why do you think that were seeing this spike in cases in regions and countries really across europe not just in france. I think were actually paying the consequences of what happened over the summits i mean some unsightly cases went down and people thought things were getting much better so there was quite a lot of tourism so a lot of people went on holiday to spain a lot of people from france went abroad and came back and that was spreading the virus around and as well as that in some a time as you would expect of course nice summer evenings young people out drinking out socializing and that was a major driver of infection the infection was spreading amongst young people because young people usually get minimally symptomatic of even asymptomatic disease they were really suffering from it themselves but what they were doing is they were going home taking it to their parents generation on their grandparents generation so what were now seeing as well is the increase in young people across europe the increase in the older people and indeed in the elderly now which is a concern because more of these are going to get sick and some are going to potentially die on fortunately and john the result is that we do now see infection levels in some regions and in some some countries that are similar to those that we saw at the beginning of the pandemic but are we better able to handle outbreaks now compared to that time. Theres a very good observation the numbers are quite similar but testing is way better now so weve estimated that the numbers back in february march april in the u. K. Were Something Like 50 times underestimated so the numbers were getting now in reality arent yet as high although they appear to be only graphs so were not quite back to where we were but in terms of being better prepared yes of course we are were massively back to bad weve got the Contact Tracing ups in most countries weve got data collecting facilities people are well educated one knows about hand hygiene face coverings spaces between individuals these things are well known now the problem is motivation theres been quite a bit of covered fatigue over the last month or 2 people are just fed up of this understandable of course but the point is the virus is not going away 80 to 90 percent of the population of europe is probably still susceptible to this virus they can still get it theyre still relatively naive to this virus and can get it and theres no question we can see greatly increasing cases this winter if we dont really quite quickly john lets take a look now at the race for a vaccine which is ongoing now russia has registered sputnik 5 as the worlds 1st maxine against a current a virus a lot of Scientists Say it is too early for widespread use lets take a look. Washing his hands multiple times a day just one of a series of hygiene measures godparent undertakes the doctor doesnt want to take any chances with corona virus but he knows a vaccine would offer the best protection against covert 19 thats why hes volunteered to take part in testing a new russian one. Well put the bulls in someone has to do it with. An interest without Clinical Trials and there are no medicines in the effectiveness has that seen or can only be evaluated in the 3rd phase of Clinical Trials. This stage 3 trials began 3 weeks ago but the. Exene which has been named sputnik 5 was already licensed in august before they began and mass inoculation in russia is planned for later this year something numerous experts have sharply criticized the russian government has rejected the criticism it says the vaccine has been developed from already known substances and doesnt pose any health risks rush urgently needs an effective vaccine the country currently has the 4th highest number of corona virus cases worldwide and the numbers continue to rise with around 6000. 00 new infections each day. Gallup aaron and other doctors say theyre not worried about the vaccine safety. After all the vaccine has already been tested on several well known Public People and theyre doing well these public figures include Russian Defense minister sergei short moscow mayor. And one of president Vladimir Putins daughters potent p. R. Material. Its part of russias Strategic Interests to always want to be 1st irrespective of whether its a revolution or the 1st flight into space now its about saying that were the 1st to develop a vaccine internally were showing that the situation is under control x. Journal its a signal that russia is still mastering its role as the savior of the world. Said perry isnt thinking about his countrys p. R. Plans just now the doctor is here because hes hoping to help win the fight against the corona virus pandemic. People are tired they want it to be over the new vaccine can help calm people and offer a way out of the situation but. It will most likely be at least several months until the results of the phase 3 trials are known only then can the actual effectiveness and safety of russias sputnik 5 vaccine be assessed. So john if this vaccine were to be made available to you would you take it. Its a very interesting question isnt the answer at the moment is no now this russian vaccine is actually based on western vaccine this in the dino virus vaccine some people even suggest that the russians were highly influenced by ongoing data that was being conducted in our under research in western countries so the develop this vaccine and then actually rolling out now now back seems like any drug normally goes through 3 phase of Clinical Trials and the phase one of the phase 2 Clinical Trials for this vaccine in russia have been questioned by western peer review that only show about whats going on and normally like what weve done in the in the u. K. And in the United States weve launched large phase 3 Clinical Trials testing the new vaccine against another vaccine or against a placebo to see if it works in the real situation and basically the versions of simply not done this theyve skipped phase 3 Clinical Trials after questionable phase one and phase 2 Clinical Trials now theres 2 things we need to know about a vaccine one is does it work and the 2nd is exactly how the data on the russian facts it indicates that its almost certainly going to work so i do expect this to be efficacious i do expected to generate a degree of immunity but what were so careful about in the western countries in europe in the United States is making sure its safe and the only way we can guarantee it is safe is by having large scale Clinical Trials so to say its been tested on alamy of bad luck to me prudence daughter in the mary russia you can argue from 2 or 3 individual cases we need large numbers of cases to demonstrate safely and at the moment that has not been done so i would be reluctant to take this vaccine i would certainly take one of the off the way after western phase 3 Clinical Trials however ok done is very quickly when do you think we can realistically expect that type of x. E. The well that the americans are starting to open to vaccinate about 50000000 people by the end of the shia mass rollout is going to be a pool may june july next year so i would expect that you and me could hope to be vaccinated by next early next summer is my herb John Campbell health and. Were going to have to leave it there thank you so much john thank you.

Sports now the u. A. E. Super cup it took place in budapest last night of Champions League winners by a munich beat europa League Winners 2. 00 to 1. 00 lucas opened the scoring for severe in the 13th minute but thats going to hit the net for biron 20 minutes later having my finesse back to the winner for biron during extra time. Well some 15000. 00 fans attended that match the 1st time theres been so many spectators since coronavirus attractions were introduced european footballs governing body you a fire has been criticized for allowing so many fans to be on hand just as infections in europe are suddenly rising again. By and munich fans streamed out of the push crush arena in budapest happy about their 21 win over sylvia but there were mixed reactions over whether 15000 supporters should have been allowed in to the super cup. Going into the stadium was well controlled everybody was checked in terms of both health and security attention was paid to mandatory mask wearing inside the stadium people out here to the safety distances between the seats and it was very good it was a great example of how to organize Football Games with spectators i speak of easily enough but. I have to say there were a few too many people they could have reduced the number a bit but it was such a great game and polish thermal imaging cameras were used to check the temperatures of fans entering the stadium the cameras were among a package of measures Wearing Masks they were sanitizing handjob before entering and they checked our temperatures it was great i feel fine. European footballs governing body wafer has been criticised for allowing the return of supporters in light of rising infections in europe you wait for president Alexander Shifrin defended the Pilot Project to measure 1st 3 qt. Theres. Not. A question of health risks for the fence we will of course not allow us or anybody else to drag us into any political discussion about that the easiest thing or a Political Campaign the easiest thing for us would be not to do anything its always the easiest think not to do anything and just stay and wait you a for now has to decide whether it allows a limited number of fans into Champions League and Nations League games over the coming weeks. Lets talk about this with mark meadows from sports hi mark we heard you weigh 5 theyre saying we have to do something we have to try something didnt work so well i think most people will say as a as a Pilot Project it did american see the fans are pretty well spread out across the stadium obviously theres lots of worries about it especially with cases rising again in europe but i think this was the perfect chance to try this experiment its super cope its lets be honest its not the most important of the 4 titles by munich of will in this year if youre going to kind of play around with one of and it will be this one just to see what was possible with the fans and as we saw the fans are happy so no not social full byrons coach himself said before the game he wasnt that happy about going to build a pass what did he say afterwards oh yeah the flick he said he didnt really understand why they were going to budapest which is oversee a coronavirus risk area as far as the German Government is confirmed concerned but afterwards well given by and when he was a bit happier and remembered by and havent played in a stadium with fans since march i mean yes weve had fans back in the blunders legal last weekend but by and actually werent allowed to play with fans because of rising cases in the city of munich so he was a bit kind of shocked to suddenly have fans back again and he said it was good to have this atmosphere it was more like football but he also had a cautionary note for the fans i hope everyone who returns to jim stays in good health now the bavarian state premier marcus havent really wanted any fans to go he said ahead of the game think again about going because of course now when they go back to germany they have a half of a negative coronavirus test or its 2 weeks quarantine now if you have a fans who are coming out saying look i can get the virus just as easy in munich so whats the difference come to this game had a great time to be a fans well they lost they said it was much more complicated than usual i mean when you having a full imaging camera checking your temperature thats not a normal thing in a football match so if this was something of a test case what do you think we can expect in the coming weeks its tricky i mean can you really roll this out across the. Champions league when you have in games across the continent lots of different sized stadiums lots of different from bases. I think they will do it slowly if theyre going to do it they may well look at the bundles they go i mean the boat as they go is led the way on this from the very start from may when the bundesliga 1st review resumed without fans and now their own fans only 8500 was the maximum figure last weekend but if the bundesliga can prove week by week that this can with a limit to new fans coming back in the new way from i think well hey we can do that in european football as well all right mark meadows from sports thank you very much.
