Political crisis gripping her country and she speaks with c. W. I had heard me sing with the german chancellor. Paris orders its bars and cafes it closed as if you were a conference a 2nd place of coronavirus the french capital and its surrounds are now on maximum allowed. Im for welcome to the Program Donald Trump says he will leave the military Medical Center where hes being treated for covered 19 this evening tweeting from the walter reed Medical Center in maryland he said he would leave at 6 30 pm local time in his short message he claims that hes feeling better than he has for 20 years and urge people not to be afraid of a coronavirus american president was how to copy to the hospital 3 tapes ago after testing positive and showing symptoms and covered 90. 3 straight to washington that lever join our correspondent for the well come by so we have a tweet and what else what more do we know. Well we are expecting to hear from the president s position or the team of physicians who have been treating him over the weekend at some point soon within the next hour you know this is really plays into the messages that the white house has been sending out throughout this entire ordeal that the president is feeling good he is keeping with his normal schedule working as much as possible hes in good spirits and really as they have consistently been throughout the pandemic trying to downplay the effects of coded on his health weve seen some messages from him both before he left the hospital and in the hospital now he did that drive by yesterday her supporters who are camped out there it really isnt clear at this point and again we will hear from his doctor shortly whether this was trumped making the decision that he wants to leave to continue this narrative of hes strong and hes gotten over it or whether the doctors have actually signed off on him leaving the hospital after what seems like a very short stay meanwhile called a 1000000 team seems to be tearing through his circle of advisers bruce up to the. He has had quite a blast radius hasnt and the latest to be infected is his press d secretary kelly mcenaney who came out just a few hours ago and said that she was positive that she was asymptomatic its unclear how many people exactly but ive seen some reports saying the number could be as high as 17 people who have been affected possibly from this one a vent that is suspected to be where trump also was infected but its not just the white house advisers according to the timeline that has been proposed by his doctor who is treating him right now trump was at events at closed door fundraisers meeting with donors meeting with advisors over his Supreme Court pick during the week leading up to when he announced he was positive for a coven so he was probably infected and contagious during those times and that may spread even further so lets talk about this drive by you mentioned this is the president with secret Service Personnel discovering the crowds a bit wave. Indeed this is a controversial move in washington of course his supporters absolutely love this again this was a show of 5 strength of some normalcy from the president showing that hes absolutely ok and they love this stuff and again we have to note that because of his infection he had to cancel or postpone several big Campaign Rallies that were supposed to happen over the weekend and thats really where trump gets his energy its what his supporters love most of these big gatherings of all these supporters so we can sort of look at this is like a little Mini Campaign rally so to speak but it did not go down well in other parts of washington repeat for saying hes not taking this seriously enough he sealed in this car with these 2 secret Service Agents who are now at great risk and really what for for some political theater its a little serious a vote without the election there will be u. S. House of election in less than a month whats the other guy doing whats been the reaction from the bargain to. Indeed well the biden team has been are very publicly putting out bidens negative a coded test and this is also an opportunity for the biden captured draw yet another bright line between their Health Care Proposals their Pandemic Recovery proposals their economic recovery of our pope proposals they fact that they are taking the pandemic very seriously as opposed to the much more lax way the Trump Administration has been handling it my schwager in washington thank you its about who should not position lead us from atlanta is here to ask for a job and help in solving the crisis in her country as she was forced into exile after losing president ial election to long standing or thought terry in the Alexander Lukashenko shes been meeting with european leaders as we create mass protests continue in her country a Human Rights Organization saying more than 10000 people have been detained in belarus since the election as german chancellor Angela Merkel on tuesday mr cummins scott has been touting d w y job he might play an Important Role in this moment to. The recent political crisis in. Support of contouring their own to is important for us but him and the is one of the most powerful countries in the world is extremely important because we need. Help in mediation of all in the positions with authorities and we think that in the end that is really just going to be extremely hopeful in this situation. Lets talk to a Political Correspondent about how helpful the. Welcome simon what sort of answer is not a kind of sky it likely to get when she beats the chance of it tomorrow. Well i think a positive answer generally depends of course what she asks for and i think if thats an active role for germany in mediating between the opposition in belarus and the regime well that would be a huge step for in so well have to see how that plays out during the 3 days of this visit but i think whats being in visit as well is a more. Practical kind of support for the opposition many of those activists have been locked up and badly treated by police so they could use some legal and medical support also their families too as well i think and some of these activists probably for their own safety would like refuge in the European Union thats something that germany with its current presidency of the European Union can drive forward as well and we can listen to another clip from that quick interview with fred learned taken all skier in which she explained a little bit more about what kind of support shes looking for and i repeat it all the time you know. We need the support of the recent society now it can be any kind of health care prostituting to help for journalist help for sportsman for all those people who. Who fight in for the rights and for new elections and. Its up to every country how to help but every. Circle of settlers in this camp at the moment somebody young what sort of message does that send to bella ruse that she is here in germany meeting with the chancellor and foreign minister. Yeah i think it does send a strong message Angela Merkel spokesman said earlier today this meeting between mcclintic and all scar that set for tuesday is intended as a sign of the chancellors Great Respect for both a kind of sky self and also the peaceful demonstrators in bella roosts and the spokesman sort of emphasized the sense the chancellor believes the enormous courage is very important particular of women demonstrating in belarus of this very much echoing the same sort of comments that were made by the french president when he met with taken all skier last week in lithuania and so i think its clear which side germany and the European Union stand on in this in this confrontation and as again the spokesman repeated the key points are to end the violence release the Political Prisoners and hold free and Fair Elections after those very distorted Election Results we saw just a couple of months ago from belarus i mean you know thank you. As i look now at some of the other stories making news around the world at least 16 people are reported injured severely in the turkish capital bishkek to protest the official results of a parliamentary election held in the former soviet republic of the we can thank you to 2 willing partners a vote buying and fraud both parties a close and pro russian president.

The 1st of the 2020 and nobel prizes was announced today and this years prize for medicine is during 2 a trio of virologists for the discovery of hepatitis c. On the outside a childs rights and Michael Horton were all in for their groundbreaking research dating back to the 1970 s. Through the universal Committee Says they deliver help save countless lives around the world. 71000000 people thats how many suffer from a chronic hepatitis c. Infection as estimated by the World Health Organization they have to try to see a virus is transmitted through blood it often goes unnoticed for a long time slowly and silently attacking the liver infection can lead to diseases like liver cirrhosis or liver cancer a major reason people need a liver transplant the discovery of the virus led to huge medical breakthroughs really saving discovery you know so its critical to go to the to do beginning to really understand the basic original discoveries that he really enabled theres so much. That has happened so many. Advances in European Center but thats made possible at this initial discovery of the action. When harvey alter discovered the hepatitis c. Virus in 1909 it was the 1st step towards fighting dangerous and until then mysterious liver infections the 2nd Nobel LaureateMichael Houghton then succeeded in isolating the d. N. A. Of the newly found virus and finally Charles Reiss prove that it is the virus alone that causes Liver Disease these 3 scientific discoveries also made it possible to screen donated blood making blood transfusions much safer if it looked after the discovery we were able to test all the blood donors and sort out the ones with hepatitis c. One could also develop treatments with which we could successfully fight the virus. Theres still no vaccine for hepatitis c. The research for that is ongoing but today the World Health Organization estimates that over 95 percent of hepatitis c. Patients can be successfully treated against the disease thanks to the work of todays nobel prize winners.

In it or france or queen eagerly brewer in this Clinical Trial phase my son nicholas an estimate duro guerra told me of his decision to be vaccinated with the russian fact seem to join the trial i think its very good but if you move him. By the roots was the 1st foreign country to receive batches of the back seam last week india is also interested in testing it. For russia it could be a spark nick moment like the one in 157 when the communists launched the 1st satellite. In august russia declared itself the 1st country to approve a Coronavirus Vaccine high risk groups have been receiving sputnik 5 Health Workers journalists teachers alongside china russia has been deploying the shots before full efficacy trials are complete the results are promising the vaccine has been met with some skepticism washing his hands multiple times a day just one of a series of hygiene measures gulper in undertakes the doctor doesnt want to take any chances with coronavirus but he knows of vaccine would offer the best protection against covered 19 thats why his volunteer to take part in testing a new russian one. Of those when someone has to do it without Clinical Trials they are no medicines the effectiveness of a vaccine can only be evaluated in the 3rd phase of Clinical Trials. Or is to treat your fossil stage 3 of the trials began a month ago but the vaccine which has been named footnote 5 was licensed already in august before they began mass in occupation in russia is planned for later this year something numerous experts have sharply criticized the russian government rejects the criticism it says the vaccine has been developed from already known substances and doesnt pose any health risks. Russia 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 new infections each day galperin and other doctors working say they are not worried about the vaccine safety. After role the vaccine has already been tested on several well known Public People and theyre doing quite well. These public figures include Russian Defense minister sergei surely google moscow mayor say gates well beyond in and one of president Vladimir Putins daughters ports and p. R. Material. Literacy is 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 and its a signal that russia is still mastering its role as the savior of the world. And. Some young galperin isnt thinking about his countrys p. R. Plans just now the doctor is here because his hoping to help win the fight against the corona virus pandemic. We are tired they wanted to be over the new vaccine would help calm people and offer a way out of the situation. It will most likely be at least several months until the results of the face 3 trials are known only then can the actual effectiveness and safety of russians put nick 5 vaccine be assessed. Know about c 4 exit the International VaccineAccess Center of the Johns HopkinsBloomberg School of Public Health so will the russians be the 1st. And look there are lots and lots of people to achieve axing its not about whos going to be 1st its event as many people as can cross the finish line really to have a safe and effective vaccines we want multiple winners here and there are some vaccine is certainly you know doing nothing to phase large scale phase 3 is as are many others and we want lawson shit to look after the completion of those phase 3 is when we have good safety data and good if you can see data that the vaccines actually work and lots of people we want to succeed here not just on one group or another on the point of safety have the russians been fudging the numbers of some of q. s than skipping parts of the trials. Theres no good solid evidence that theres been any concern about the numbers the detail that was given in the russian papers and it was excellent you know the quality of the evidence was as solid as any of the other published papers the there have been some lay reports on blogs and so on those really dont hold water when examined fairly and statistically so no i dont have any more concerns about this group than any other group i think you can only know. The modified common cold viruses behind such vaccines have been studied for decades but still not widely used why why is that. There are a number of other vaccine platforms that have we have a lot more experience with the advantage of any of our very good vaccines ease that they are potentially capable of privilege bring almost a antigen to the need system and so there and they vector itself is designed to be known up look at ing sort of caught causing friction the capacity to do that the capacity to develop these vaccines has been in development for quite a long time but i recently has a really rich lawson shot under the pressure really you know developing a vaccine against of all of our us and thats been a success so thats good and we would like to see more of these vaccines Going Forward claiming a lot more experience with them and particularly around safety and around if you can see but theres no reason to suspect that theyll be problematic vaccines in fact theyre likely to be very good vaccines where you have a range of potential at and of ours vectors some more frequently encountered by human populations than others then that differences of detention lead that could arise among the different products and that some of the that they tell its coming out from some of the scientific literature but as a platform have you know its a really exciting platform and we hope that theyll be lots of opportunities to develop this platform vaccine ology beyond this pandemic into the future also whats the certainty though the vaccines that passed phase 3 will be successful for the wider population. Theres never a certainty you know hes built on uncertainty and falsifiability so its really a golden and methods as rigorous as they can be and its important that we continue to evaluate the vaccine even after that its rolled out and even after it she was licensure in phase 3 things 3 trials of the trials that demonstrate large scale you know in terms of tens of thousands and collectively close to hundreds of thousands of People Safety and disappearance and importantly efficacy against disease said it actually protects human beings against disease thats the one that we require philosophia. For a vaccine is very rarely hopeful because as you know a series sound very rarely their society has the right help the pros and cons as we go back since they were potentially harmful but very rarely so but they are very very beneficial and frequently so so its always a question of balancing the risks and benefits and that correct balance requires good science ronsard islands and good evidence Going Forward beyond phase 3 and beyond licensure well into many years of hopefully future use youve said its problematic if a vaccine is designed to target the disease and not the infection why. Well its not exactly right about your clothes i mean or vaccines really designed to target disease but clearly were facing a complex situation currently recording of ours because we have widespread infection and transmission occurring globally i think the public expectation is that once a vaccine is available we go back to the way things were and we stop mosques and we stop social distancing and thats just judgment of whatever that saying at least in the initial phase can do the end of the vaccine is to reduce disease and to reduce it in volatile groups at least initially in the 1st round of vaccination if a vaccine is given to those at high risk and not toward the body clearly transmission will continue to occur you know if you didnt receive the vaccine but a year from now or year and a half from now or 2 years from now when the vaccine is more widely available it will be critical to demonstrate that it actually reduces transmission and not just reduces disease because if it doesnt do that then the other ways to reduce transmission to continue with face masks and so on. One could imagine a paradox whereby if the vaccine continues to allow transmission and works less well to protect against disease in the other lead that you know paradoxically. Address that comes could get worse not better so we need to be very careful about how we deploy vaccines on the basis of the best available science and evidence around what they do what theyre in for because these against you know about say thank you very much for joining us thank you for having. And its that part of the show when we look at your questions of a crow virus is the w. Science correspondent there. Are any countries Testing School age kids on a wide scale to if so what are the results. Because covert 19 in general at least doesnt affect children as severely as older people on kids in general have not been tested as much throughout the pandemic its simply been a question of resource allocation but the lack of really solid data has also led to a lot of speculation that kids might not be much of a factor in spreading the disease throughout Wider Society which has in some countries influence things like decisions to reopen schools but now a big study from india could cause authorities to rethink that idea it focused among other things on Contact Tracing data from 85000 confirmed cases in 2 states there in total it looked at test results from over 500000 contacts that occurred between people who were infected and the people they gave it to or didnt get to and one of the most interesting takeaways was that it showed kids actually do pass the disease on to other kids especially those in their age group which would include for example kids in the same class at school what the study wasnt able to clarify was was how often those kids subsequently might have passed the virus along to adults but but even so the evidence now looks pretty compelling it indicates that the idea that kids dont really spread covert 19 doesnt really hold water which a lot of researchers have said shouldnt actually come as a surprise.
