German officials are worried about the latest numbers coming from the countrys Public Health insitute daily infections have reached new highs and there are more than 250 hotspots nationwide in germany last weekend also exceeded the grim milestone of 10000. 00 coronavirus deaths now these numbers have led chancellor merkels conservative c.

The isnt finished models we are not powerless against a virus our behavior decided to the extent to which in the speed at which the virus spreads and the order of the day for all of us is to reduce contacts and meet far fewer people mention of. German officials recently announced new measures against the virus they include limiting private gatherings and wearing face masks on busy streets through music 1st for me its obvious with the high numbers we have i myself had coronavirus and i know what im talking about we all have to protect each other now. We must have a mask does not stop air assaults you can talk about wearing them indoors but outside its total rubbish. Both on the streets and among politicians there is a growing debate about germanys course of action as the country grapples with a serious 2nd wave of the coronavirus pandemic.

Well time and again i got america say that it was up to us it was up to the people here in germany to limit their interactions to try and curb. The number of infection to try to limit contacts to avoid unnecessary travel within and without the county and in fact gemini had a pretty good handle of the pandemic until now but now you mentioned it cases have a most doubled was in a weekend as a when we here in germany that it wont be possible anymore to trace the chain of infection and the worry is that the loss of control of those infections and of course that happens then we can worry about the hospitals being overwhelmed we now day yet but that will be the main where weve got seconds right winter is coming we know that there is corona virus. How will people in germany react to more restrictions. Theres definitely a growing sense of fatigue as you say though so very a lot of uncertainty here theres also people who are missing a represents only a fringe of German Society who dont support its holder instructions yesterday in berlin they were current i cant take the processing in the streets and they also held fire bombs today over of a Coffee Institute the Research Institute in charge of the handling of the pandemic so there are a minority but the majority of the population here is abiding by the rules they respect so sure these dancing theyre Wearing Masks i dont times even if of course theres a no to both of among the population thats being felt now you know the fatigue is there but more restrictions are definitely on the way it is on the story fords tonight here in berlin and i thank you for heres some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world workers in students who joined nationwide strides called by the opposition in bill rooms they walked out after hardline leader Alexander Lukashenko with nor did deadline set for him to step down yeah action targeted state run factories British Police have arrested 7 men suspected of trying to hijack an oil tanker in the English Channel special forces were called in when the ship began moving a radically the captain says the men thought to be store ways from nigeria had turned violent.

And suddenly there was an explosion in the backyard everything started burning we ran outside and called the firefighters but when they arrived it was already too late. And memories.

We cant independently verify this we are not allowed to move freely near the front line we are only allowed to film with the as of a john eales or a tease let us film i. This school in bardolph for example even if it looks like it the children here are not students. They are refugees this has been in emergency shelters since the fighting started a month ago. Thank.

Is a master of the art of confrontation this is wrong veteran of furball combat doesnt mean youre going to see ya its like the phone to spew to champion a tough political talk trying to frighten people who are so fast everybody understands it except you enter the conflict zone and join Tim Sebastian as he holds the powerful to account this is a big failure whichever way you like to spin conflict. You might just see show folk all that noise and no one is safe from covet 19 no one is safe until were all safe from it even those who conquer the virus within their own borders prisoners within those borders until its conquered everywhere so long as nick is germanys president in my at the opening of the annual World Health Summit where because of the pandemic this year wild leaders have a science politics and business im eating her actually the corona virus is straining the response to the many Health Crises which already exist. This is still the leading Infectious Disease it infects around 10000000. 00 a year and kills about one and a half 1000000. African countries like robbie high in the world in the fight against tb and malaria 2 which kills half a 1000000 people annually more than 90 percent of them in africa. And hiv aids still hasnt been conquered. The pressure is on to find these global Health Crises even as we navigate our way through the current pandemic. Welcome to you covered 900. 00 special here on the news i want to get jones to to have you with us rapidly rising case numbers daily talk about stricter measures including locked down our lives and sorts revolve around the pandemic while the fight against other potential deadly diseases is taking a backseat. Looking for the Silver Lining the 47 year old is hiv positive and lost her job during the lock down in south africa. She can no longer afford her own medication luckily a Charity Organization has stepped in almost 8000000 people in south africa live with the hiv virus. Many are now struggling to get any medicine at all. Because of the covert 1000 pandemic Global Supply chains have collapsed and are only getting back on track very slowly. Issues of. People not being able to get air for years we are anticipating and were very concerned that were going to being sick mystic infections in south africa we worry particularly around me as we have. In our country. Corona virus has also worsened worldwide tuberculosis control with 1400000 victims to bring this was the deadliest Infectious Disease in 21000 topping even hiv aids here we see some tuberculosis bacteria under the microscope. The w. H. O. Fears that up 2400000 more people could dive to particular losses this year were stiff acted are india followed by indonesia china the philippines pakistan nigeria. And south africa 2 thirds of all tuberculosis patients worldwide live in these countries here the number of tuberculosis reports fell by up to 30 percent and it means that the people. At home and. Infection. With the biggest. By a literal. To provide all the necessary not only Technical Support but procurement of essentials medicines for all high countries back in south africa hiv infected patients who are afraid of going to hospital because they believe they might become infected with corona virus come to this outpatient mini clinic in a guarded wanna. This hiv patients immune system must be kept as stable as possible this also helps protect against tuberculosis and of course covert 19. And for more im joined now by the founding president of the world World Health Summit professor ganton good to have you with us so i believe koby to 19 is also impacting the World Health Summit this year its fully digital as weve heard how much room is there actually to discuss Health Issues other than 19. Well we have 2 and a half days and we have more than 50 sessions into the end of the speeches so not everybody would be talking about code 19 but of course its an important topic but just related to call it 19 it is the fact that all the other diseases. Which are still there kind of muscular disease is muscle go and measure how out of. There it is and they keep the hospitals and the doctor busy and what i talked about is to combine you know the work you need to do fuck over 19 and in the same time dont neglect the patients who are looking for hair in other circumstances well provided to that those patients actually dare to go to a hospital right now weve seen that certainly in spring that people avoided go into it to see a doctor or go into hospital which of course is very dangerous but of course covert 9000 is on everyones mind so how big is the risk youd say that we will lose ground in the battle against other Infectious Diseases that just such a colossus hiv you name it because so many resources are currently going into fighting the pandemic. Theres a school that is a danger and. We are aware of this fact and the opening we have had doctor to us under british all were president s down my readers are funded and others who really have no overview of whats going on and get all the information and we of course we do whatever we can its different in Different Countries i think in germany if thats a question were still coping in other questions becomes and other countries becomes much more difficult. And certainly here in europe left right and center we do see neighboring countries of germany already implementing lockdowns again here in germany because you mentioned politicians they have very very cautious there what do you tell them. What are say cautious and commonsense is always very good advice. Of course we do need to do everything we can for covert 19 but. We have to keep the society running we have to keep the hospitals running and in addition to whats. In this special situation the private doctors period an enormously Important Role its youre actually neglected i mean theyre not the ones who are preoccupied with kobe and so they have you know all the other diseases. You know and you and they they work and. Its difficult but. I dont think that Everything Else has been neglected because of that right so i mean its quite a balancing act there that you know to to provide for other diseases while fighting the pandemic now we have the 1st coronavirus vaccines could soon be approved do you think that this is going to solve the problem were facing right now. No its not going to solve the problem attributed a very important step but not everybody would get resignation you know when theyre when the big scene is available actually dr tiller said and president stan my repeated and this is noted i would imagine on advice of our writers just. George. Vaccinate everybody in every kind and in one country but thanks in a to many people in many countries so try to interrupt the chain of infection try to protect the Vulnerable People young and old and with additional diseases. The corner balance will be there and take time. To really comforted that we are to need drugs its the vaccine is important but we need to we need to have peace too or treat people who are sick and. Who dont get to make see you know where its not yet available or its going right away we dont know but its when it would be available we are working hard at it and you through wonderful concerted effort what is right but. This is not the solution as you sit right stet let gunton their founding president of the World Health Summit thank you so much for your time lots of success for this years summit thank you very much on the question of vaccination is also on your mind time for your question and over to our scientific correspondent ted williams. How do you decide which parts of the population get vaccinated 1st. There is a lot of worry at both the national and International Levels that when a vaccine does become available im it wont be distributed to the people who need it most on an equitable basis but who does need it the most while lawmakers are already coming up with lists of of who should be at the front of the line and with some variations thats what Health Authorities around the world will hopefully carry through in assuming that politicians are able to grasp the idea that this is a global issue that wont be solved by faxing nationalism which is a big f. But supplies will also be limited initially at least so there needs to be a framework in place to maximize benefits. The Vaccine Alliance or gobby which is the International Organization that plays a vital role in Vaccine Development and distribution all over the world its come up with guidelines and at providing the most benefit for the most people worldwide even with limited resources over 150. 00 countries have now signed up to its kovacs initiative it recommends that the 1st people to get a vaccine should be those most exposed to the disease which are the health care and and social care workers on the pandemic front lines thousands of them all over the planet who have died from coded 1000 already next in line would be older people over 60 fives alone with those at high risk if they catch the disease like like people with with Underlying Health conditions most countries will probably also prioritise professions that are deemed to be essential for people like caregivers and rest homes or Police Officers or those who work in and Key Industries like Food Production which already. A clear is that children will be far down on the lest not only because that 19 is less deadly in general for them but also because itll take more time to produce and test vaccines that are specifically tailored to kids. And there it will be back again tomorrow thats all because of it in 1000. 00 special for now thanks for watching. Radical steps of america. Where militias want to take the law in the hands of. The w.
