There like to be honest i would have expected it to be the pandemic because we have no more than 200000 people who died of coal with 19 but that is not the case for many the economy is the most crucial topic as they lost their jobs because of the pandemic and many people think that donald trump is the right person to lead this country forward because they see him being much stronger of that than his competitor joe biden so its after all the economy again i assume which will decide the outcome of this elections and has pulled into these Washington Bureau chief thank you.

Climate demonstrators were back on berlin streets for the 1st time in months after the coronavirus pandemic forced most protest actions online thousands flocked to the Brandenburg Gate the citys most famous landmark carrying banners and chanting slogans neither the threat of touring rain nor the coronavirus could stop them they were young people children with their parents students but also people from older generations including a group of grandmas fighting against Climate Change all were Wearing Masks and respecting social distancing people told me they were happy to finally be able to go back to the streets to protest thinking that during the coronavirus pandemic the issue of Climate Change had been forgotten protesters say the time is right to push governments to pursue the 1. 5 degrees celsius limit on the rise in Global Temperatures set by the paris climate agreement to make its basic for me the most important thing is to comply with the paris climate agreement the measures that are currently being taken in german politics are world wide or not nearly enough to comply with the agreement is not a problem. I want the goals that we have now said. That europe has hopefully agreed on have been implemented. They are Ambitious Goals but i think they are realistic because.

By and munich fans streamed out of the push kushal arena in budapest happy about their 21 win over severe but there were mixed reactions over whether 15000 supporters should have been allowed into the super cup. As were. 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 is limitless 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 the package of measures they were Wearing Masks they were sanitizing handjob before entering and they checked our temperatures it was great i feel fine.

Recovered 19 pandemic has exposed weaknesses in the worlds ability to track and respond to major Infectious Disease outbreaks. The 2014 to 16 it bowdler epidemic in west africa showed up longstanding weaknesses in the International Health system and how for that it was for a major outbreak. Zone and even countries thought to have strong response capabilities failed to detect the early signs of coronavirus outbreaks or respond quickly enough meant that Community Transmission of the virus was already well established before governments could react. Think tanks and Public Policy institute so like have been pushing for massive investment in outbreak response and care capacity. Demick preparedness has been described as a Global Public good. And yet globally its been left up to National PublicHealth Systems to carry the largest burden of cases and the bulk of the costs. Outbreaks and resurgence is of coronavirus cases are stretching public Health Systems the world over local and National Governments keep having to make drastic measures for to prevent services being overwhelmed they have to act fast to get ahead of this virus. Stagnation in a place where people would normally be having fun this is not how big had imagined things his fair had only just opened when he had to close it down again because of a drastic increase in corona numbers in the west philly and city of ham. Wouldnt every have to feel weve put our heart and soul into this weeks of work its really tough its shocking we havent earned any money or year and now were having to write off potential income. And all of this because of a single wedding celebration where more than 100 people were infected with the coronavirus. Not to blame as far as anyone can tell there hasnt been a single instance anywhere of numbers going up in any way around a temporary leisure ground nonetheless for the 1st to feel the full impact and its frankly depressing that we are the ones who always end up paying the price of. The closure of the funfair was only one of the measures ordered by mayor. In a bid to get infection rates under control he says hes now looking at how private festivities can be better monitored. Were keeping a 150 as the upper limit in how because we dont want anybody to start canceling a wedding or a Silver Wedding anniversary. But up to 25 people these occasions dont have to be registered from 25 to 50 there must be advance notice so that we know whats happening and where and from 50 to 150 they are subject to approval and well be taking a very close look. Many and hammer asking themselves how the couple in question could have been so reasonable. So far not everybody who is infected has been tracked down the mayor is relying on volunteers who trace possible victims people like retired doctor. Or a truly great really pushes you to your limits especially for people working at the local Health Offices who are organizing this whole operation its a real pity that its had to come to this i personally believe it could have been avoided. Meanwhile fairground operate it is now faced with the dismantling of his fare. I just hope we can get back to life as normal that we can take part in the fun fairs and other festivals as we always have and i hope we can help make people a little bit happy. For now though fun is on hold. So we can now speak to dr emanuel who is a professor of Health Care Management at the university of pennsylvania in the u. S. Well in months into this pandemic now dr emanuel and global Health Systems are they now in a better position to cope with the corona virus outbreaks or theyve been weakened by these months of sickness no i think in general certainly and in the advanced countries they are better able we know how to manage patients better we know not to into bait than to give them high flow oxygen we know how to use anticoagulants we know to use to actually met the sun so we have a lot more knowledge about how to manage these patients and which ones really need to be in the intensive care unit nonetheless if you have a large number of cases you will can overwhelm the system and i believe the french are you know teetering on that problem right now yeah what do you think i mean. Advanced countries any more ready for a 2nd wave than they might have been for the 1st time particularly saying that some of these 2nd occurrences are coming with even more cases than the 1st time. Yes that is worrisome they say look the systems can be overwhelmed if you have too many cases we do i think have again better management but we also need to have better Surge Capacity the ability to quickly put up temporary facilities in you know mobile units or tents and thats going to be necessary we you know we predict that youre going to have repeated waves here for the you know influenza of 1809198 also extended to 1020. 00 that were you know 4 waves of it actually more small echoes of it so weve got to be prepared for that to happen and part of that preparation the Search Capacity during the course of this pandemic have we seeing sense styles of public Health System that are working better than others its. We have i mean systems that were able to quickly implement. Testing. Contact tracing and suppression theyve kept the number of cases very low you can look at taiwan singapore south korea japan has real models here germany itself did a remarkably good job of keeping the death rate extremely low so there are places that have done well but even places that search like italy they were able to put Public Health measures in place the social distancing the avoiding crowds the facemask wearing the closing of not essential businesses and then 8 or 10 weeks they were able to bring the numbers very very low and that does show you that even without a vaccine using Public Health measures you can actually bring the case numbers low and then begin to open up the economy its very important you know once you have the case numbers low life can resume not completely to normal but watts of freedoms can be reintroduced under those circumstances. Then Health Systems on the other side of that though weve actually seen performing less well than we thought they might have under these conditions yes the United States is a really good example of that weve just done a terrible job at in large measure the terrible job has been the fact that weve had you know were a very big country of 4 times the size of germany for example and weve had a haphazard response so some states are doing a very good job of closing out essential businesses wearing face masks this and say well other states like georgia and florida just arent and once that happens people travel they bring the virus with them and it reignites cases so we saw it go from the new york to the south and the west and then up the midwest in the United States and its raging where were back up to double the number of cases we had in june because states like wisconsin and missouri in the middle of the country are just having large scale spread because they ignore the Public Health measures its been very tough for the United States doctors a killer manual thank you so much for joining us thank you for. Now its time for one of your questions to ask science correspondent Eric Williams today comes from someone calling themselves eric cartman. How do you make a vaccine for something that mutates. I get asked this a lot to answer we have to look at the process of evolution just like with living organisms the genetic code that governs how a virus is made changes from generation to generation sometimes in small ways sometimes in big ones the progeny if they survive eventually will become separate strains that are distinct from their common ancestor their genetic code has changed and and that can change how they look at their structure and also how they interact with potential hosts for example whether they can cause more or less severe illness whats key to creating a vaccine is the speed at which these changes occur in viruses like the ones that cause influenza for example which have genomes that are less stable or the rate of change is so rapid and random that we need a new vaccine to fight them every year we have to play catch up with flu bugs all the time fortunately due to the way that sars cove 2 makes copies of itself its genome remains relatively stable as far as we can tell a worldwide there isnt a lot of genetic variation yet among all the Novel Coronavirus is circulating in different parts of the planet and because those groups are so homogeneous theoretically a vaccine that can prevent one should be able to prevent them all whats interesting and kind. Scary is that is that when we start to prevent infections with a vaccine will also start forcing sars cove to change in ways that will allow it to get around the vaccine but but thats a different question. And we will have more questions to our science correspondent Barry Williams next time around now lets have a look at how the world is doing in terms of coronavirus cases. Look at data from 209 countries and territories over the past 4 weeks tells us the number of new cases has doubled or worse in 35 countries they also increased though to a lesser degree in a further 77 countries 6 countries have seen case numbers rising at around the same rate 61 countries have seen their new covered 19 positive cases go down by anything up to half and 21 have seen them more than half of. 9 countries have reported no new cases for 4 weeks in a row. Theres that bar graph compared with the last few weeks remember the battle is won when that entire chart is blue we still have a long way to go. But we will eventually get that thats all from this car 19 special if you want from us as a dedicated section of the the we dot com about. Every day. For us and for our planet. Global ideas is on its way to bring you more conservation law how do we make cities scream or how can we protect our nobles and their habitats what to do with the waste.
