A very poignant phrase when he said simply we are strong when we stand together and so he called on German Society is a day to stop turning a blind eye to these kinds of events if democracy is going to really live up to its true values and the values gemini stands for wont be infringed. What have people there been saying to you about this and what it means to them. Well of course its been a very somber day today here in hallowed but also a time to reflect on whats happening here in germany in the last year both for the Jewish Community here in the city but also nationwide of course has been increased Police Presence at several synagogues schools kindergartens across the country in over the last year but this discourse really needs to be extended further than just the security here in germany a lot of people still feel that politicians and all 40 is just on quite gotten a grasp on exactly what the problem here is and that it isnt just focused on on to semitism but any kind of hatred anything any kind of hate against any minority here in germany and the discourse needs to be widened in order for this issue way specially if all right extremism to be really tackled well thats a good segue into my next question we have about a minute for this how lourdes is the threat from right wing extremism in germany. Well the for minister repeated again today saying that fall right extremism is the biggest threat facing germany right now and we have in indeed seen the number of far right extremist crimes double in the last 2 to 3 is here in germany that really is a growing concern especially for security and intelligence agencies here in germany but of course this didnt come out of nowhere and there is a growing criticism increasingly there are more stories being heard of reports of suspected far right extremism even in german institutions as well and also criticism of how police have handled previous cases of fall right extremism there is of course lodged a lot of criticism as well that for many many years both german politicians and German Authorities have been turning a blind eye to the true extent of the church threat right extremism here in germany but of course there is still time to tackle that and one of the main places that is a middle east is to tackle that right now is online as well it does seem to be the case that a lot of these fall right radicals all being radicalized online which was also the case over the suspected perpetrator hit in hellas well thanks for that. German chancellor Angela Merkel has met with the mayors of germanys largest 11 cities to discuss further measures they can take to reduce the spread of the krona virus germany has recorded over 4000 new infections for 2 Straight Days the highest level since april for linnen munich have responded to rising infection rates with new restrictions in a press conference on friday merkel said it was important to contain the virus before the onset of winter in restrictions could be tightened if infections continue to spike she appealed directly to the young generation to do their bit to be dependent. Thank you now please think about what is most important for you is it not the health of your family including your grandparents. Is it not also your priority to have a good education and to have a good career on things that are dependent on a healthy Economy Trust hanging is it then not worth being a little patient and enduring a few restrictions on party image which i temporary and are aimed at keeping the infections under a certain threshold and in fact soon. She will go back to partying to going out and having fun without corona restrictions but right now other things are important being aware and showing solidarity is a mild earlier we spoke with chief Political EditorMichelle Knight and asked why merkel address germanys Younger Generation in particular we saw the german chancellor today appeal to the Younger Generation because thats where a lot of this infection is coming from and thats a significant difference to the initial outbreak where it was very much focused on those risk groups older people im going to machall today held a video call with the mayors of the 11 biggest cities here in germany their conclusion her conclusion is that in those incentives it will be decided whether any loses control of this corona pandemic those are the was that the german chancellor used so once again a very dramatic appeal to the public to follow those 8888 regulations so basically keeping distance wearing the mask and making sure that you simply listen to what local regulations in place at that particular moment in time. The United NationsWorld Food Program has won the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize the Norwegian Nobel Committee honor the u. N. Agency for fighting Global Hunger and the use of hunger as a weapon of war the Committee Also said the award was a call to the International Community not to underfund the w. S. P. Its perhaps the most prestigious award in the world the Nobel Peace Prize is craved by World Leaders including one of this years nominees donald trump but the jury decided to honor an organization not a politician for promoting peace the prize came with an urgent appeal here with this years award the norwegian nobel and the committee wishes to turn the eyes of the world towards the millions of people who suffer from a face the threat of hunger. The world the World Food Program plays a key role in multilateral cooperation in making Food Security an instrument of peace last year the World Food Program fed millions of people at risk of starvation. The u. N. Body is active in 88 countries. This has made it an agent of peace says the Nobel Committee the link between hunger and Armed Conflict is a vicious circle of war and conflict can cause Food Insecurity and hunger just as hunger and Food Insecurity can cause latent conflicts to flare up and trigger the use of violence. As the winner was announced in oslo there was joy and surprise at the w. F. Paid. I mean this is the 1st time in my life a bit speechless but this is a little well talk about the most exciting point of your life is the Nobel Peace Prize it is because of the the family theyre out there in the most difficult complex places on in the world with this war on fleet climate extremes it doesnt matter theyre out there and they deserve this award and wow wow wow wow mark it will even that wont be much time to celebrate 175000000 people suffered from a key tanga in 2919 the most in here is challenges that the coronavirus conflict and Climate Change ensure that the well of the well food program is not about to get any easy after. Joining us from the World Food Program is Matthew Hollingworth he is the country director at the piano speaking to us from juba the capital of south sudan and appreciate your joining us matthew how do you feel about the w f t winning this years Nobel Peace Prize i think i have an idea where im going i can honestly say theres 1200 strong of us in the World Food Program in south sudan one of the largest operations in the world and we go oh. By the decision of the committee to give this amazing office of the world. To give us a quick sense of the extent to which the global Food Security crisis is being used as a as a weapon of war in certain regions. There and everywhere where there are the 690000000 people who go to go hungry every night the vast majority of those countries are countries that face conflicts and violence and thats typically the common denominator and what we want to do is ensure that we have is to help those people with immediate relief but also to support them get through that period where we can help bring peace to our country as well as. From our experience the majority of countries that come out of conflict going back into conflict if people stay hungry if there is still instability in the country and thats all right and thats a room that we take very very seriously what can be done to avoid another global Food Security crisis such as the one were witnessing now. Well im going to the moment like i said the common denominator in the vast majority of countries where starvation or monitor or keep our tradition and hunger is the norm the common an emmy nominated is conflict so to bring an end to conflicts we can already make an enormous change to peoples lives because with stability with peace comes the opportunity to really invest in development and resilience building and livelihoods building that areas of work much harder to do when youre in a complex conflict prices. Matthew just in one sentence what are you going to do tonight. Well ive got a few more interviews to do but then im going to go send her a few glasses of beer with my team and celebrate their work got us here over the last few cents Matthew Hollingworth from the World Food Program thank you so much and again congratulations to you and your team thanks. You watching the news from berlin next up is ben physical and with our covert 1000 special dont forget you can get all the latest news and information around the clock on our website view dot com im michael looking for me and the rest of the news team here thanks so much for watching ill be back with more news at the top of the out. Combating the corona pandemic. Where does research stand. What are scientists learning. Background information and news. Our corona update. From the coded 19 special next on d w. Can you hear me now yes yes we can hear you and how last years gentlemens hearts that we bring you back or if youve never had to have surprise yourself with what is possible who is magical really what moves back and what. Who talked to people who follows her along the way admirers and critics alike how is the worlds most powerful woman shaping public if they join us from eccles last stop. A strong testing regime plays a key role in slowing the spread of covert 19 but getting tested can be a major challenge. And then waiting for the results the sample has to get to the lab and back that can take up to 4 days that is much too long to stop a pandemic and. Several nations a developing rapid tests that turn out results within minutes. C that experts are concerned about their accuracy. C and no one wants to be ushered into a false sense of security thinking they havent got the corona virus but spreading it and its a pain to think you do have it when you dont go to all the trouble of total quarantine thats why these new rapid tests could be a blessing but could they also be a curse. As a journalist i mean quite a lot of people and some of them maybe corona positive so today i want to try out the new antigen test. And why theyre really good and i would like to buy an antigen do exist for family trade i cant sell you the test as things stand it can only be given out to medical staff so you dont qualify you cant test yourself you simply have to go to the doctors its kind of. After this initial setback i find a doctor whos willing to let me do the test myself not the standard procedure yet. This is this is the packet containing the antigen quick test i only got as a week ago so i have to read the instructions to and this is also a small sterile swab here. But if you cant put your tongue down far enough you can use a stick to help if you can take. Care. Not that easy but for me definitely doable have you done both sides yes left and right afterwards the swab goes into the liquid which is then dripped on to the test. One line means negative 2 means positive. So its pretty clear the test is showing a negative result. Sibylla katzenstein things everyone should have a test like this at home. It will be great for a mum for example whose child wakes up feeling sniffly but she isnt sure and is wondering whether she can take the child to school and go to work herself. If patients have access to a simple test they could do at home that will do use the pressure on doctors and laboratories and it would help a lot of people to decide what to do. But critics say the test is not sufficiently reliable heres how laboratory and tests compare. When a person gets infected with covered 19 the virus load in the body starts of low increasing rapidly in the 1st days and then decreasing as time passes irregular lab test can detect the virus early on but very little virus load the entered in test can only detect the virus later and the load is higher so does that mean i could actually still be positive despite having a negative result i asked a lab expert when he was asking if the viral load in the throat is not high enough to begin by the test that might result in a false negative and its the same if this was not done properly. Began to do intensive and fast way of testing. That the test is a sensitive and can completely. And to do tests can replace tasks that they can be of great help in the fight against 90. Martin burke has been helping develop an adage and based test at the university of illinois he says it allows for fast and frequent testing large scale and is safe 1st of all how does it work. Thanks just to clarify the test that were currently using is a p. C. Rbs test a saliva test at the university of illinois that was developed to skip arnie isolation so its fast and scalable results are within hours and i think its important to point out this is different than the antigen test or working on antigen tests here youre not roll those out yet in the laboratory. Is it also completely different to an Antibody Test which would only tell you if youve had an infection no if youre actually infectious correct our test is looking for the virus in your saliva so we look for 3 genes from the virus its a quick direct from saliva to p. C. R. Assaye so allows us to detect whether that tell you the number of copies per milliliter of the virus in your saliva what makes it safe so the key is that the little detection is very low so we pick up 5028000 copies per mil weve been now testing about 50000. 00 people twice per week over the course of the last several months more than half a 1000000 tests have been performed and what we see is that people go from negative negative negative and then when they flip positive we can see it at very low viral loads so we think we can catch people before they infect others so it sounds extremely accurate or precise how how accurate would you say it is. Thats very accurate were looking at 3 genes at the same time and for the positive test we go ahead and repeat them very quickly just to make sure so we believe we have a very high level of accuracy both for positives and negatives which is critical when applying on scale with 50000 people we can have a lot of false positives or false negatives otherwise its very difficult to make the system work exactly because false negatives of what will implode any testing system and and weve already seen examples in countries where theyve stocked up on these rapid test sets but theyve been antibody based tests and thats basically backfired on them. Well i think what we need to learn to do is figure out how to use each type of test in the right setting right so theres a very challenging problem and we have to figure out the best way to use different tests in different situations to maximize protection against spread in a community we think now that we have a system working with the saliva based test comparing that test directly to these new imaging tests head to head would be a really good way to find out whether they could provide the same level of protection of the test that were using a month and i guess the question everyones going to be asking themselves is is this going to be a game changer i hope so and i think we need to figure out how to use the incident test so that we are not giving ourselves a false sense of security i think we have to understand the limitations every test has limitations and we just need to i think better understand when is the right time to use which test and to understand the limitations so that we dont give ourselves a false sense of confidence but one thing i would just say no matter what test were using we have to wear masks and social distance no interest will allow us to stop doing that and thats really important and the limitations in this case that you need actual Trained Personnel to conduct these tests these on tests that one could do just at home. Correct our test is done in a laboratory now the saliva collection is done in tents you just walk through in 5 minutes and dribble saliva into a 2 but then the rest of it is done absolutely you know in a laboratory setting. Even mention this wont be the only solution in fighting off the corona virus is it going to take other types of tests and other approaches to see that we do battle this battle off this so fight off this pandemic absolutely i think we need all hands on deck and we need to continue to innovate and find new ways to detect the virus obviously we need a safe and very effective vaccine we continue to need better and better treatments to make sure that people who get sick dont actually die or have long term sequestered in the hospital and we all need to continue to do our part obviously this extraordinary challenging time we need to hang in there and continue to be safe and make smart choices about how we socialize and wear masks and social distance it works and we need to keep those vigilant in place and before i let you go what sort of timescale are you a timeline to you looking at because we are now heading into winter in the Northern Hemisphere its going to be a very challenging time i expect. Absolutely so were in this for the long haul the university of illinois as i mentioned weve now performed half a 1000000 test last summer months are delayed Positivity Rate is 0. 24 percent and but we are not letting our guard down so we figure in this policy for a couple years and i think we all need to just kind of adapt to the new normal where we do very safe thoughtful things to help us get back to thriving as a as a society and as our commies need to you know thrive as well so its just really important that we of course think holistically thats my most Important Message its got to be a holistic approach i think in order for the store excellent thanks for joining us today thanks for having me on. Derek williams turn to take the reins science correspondent has been busy looking into your questions about the pandemic. Once dangerous is the pneumonia why not find a cure or treatment for the new manuf instead of the virus pneumonia is a blanket term thats generally defined as a more or less serious inflammation of tissue in your air passages and or your lungs it can be caused by a number of different pathogens both both viral and bacterial pneumonia that cove in 1000 can cause is generally initiated by the virus and cant be treated for example with antibiotics which only kill bacteria when theyre infected with source code to the cells in the small sacks in their lawns where gas exchange occurs what are called the alveoli begin to die and clog the lungs up and that can eventually lead to whats called acute respiratory distress syndrome as the pneumonia progresses the situation can be exacerbated by the immune system causing massive inflammation which is which is supposed to help get infection under control but which can actually make things worse so so treating or curing coronavirus pneumonia means either addressing the problem at its root which is the sars code to infection itself or somehow toning down the bodys immune response to it when it goes over the top. And now to the latest done to from over 200. 00 countries which showed new cases doubling in 26. 00 nations and increasing in another 83. 00 countries theyve stated the same level in 10 countries 71. 00 nations have seen their new positive coverage 1000 cases full another 11 having. And 8 countries have reported no new cases for 4 weeks in iraq. Is the bug graph showing the statistics of the last weeks the fight against corona is over when that whole chunk turns blue thats going to take a while.
