The pop star wants to become president and jesus, god is elite. Are just incredible story of bobby ward starts december 10th on t. W. Contact tracing is vital in breaking the chain apps through some of the work, but much of it is manual. And when covert rates surge, keeping track of endless lists of contacts is almost impossible when the numbers are going up. So fast and indications are so large that the system is simply not functioning well anymore. Experts say thats not an argument against Contact Tracing. Rather, they say it needs to be ramped up as one example of where Contact Tracing was working. But new infections are on the rise again. And critics like the government reports from the city of 60000000. 00 in which the corona virus is spreading. And one of the teams that are fighting to stop it was the last image on is a dentist, at least she was until the pandemic started it. Shes been a contact traces since march 1 of around 35000 in turkey. Younis, surely a book seen from here, the size of the city can be scary. And i sometimes wonder where this pandemic is headed. But as a doctor, i have a responsibility. I try to think positively and knowing that i help people is what motivates me and keeps me going there on the tracing team manages around 10 house calls a day. They work in shifts almost around the clock. The goal is always the same track down test and isolate those who have been exposed to someone with call that 90 and all of this as quickly as possible. Googles 1st case today is the collects is all family. The mother recently tested positive. Now the father has symptoms true. Could you call if the test is positive, gergen was also trying to trace his contacts. The whole the family has to stay at home for the next 14 days. After each visit protective clothing has to be changed. Job is time consuming and strenuous, but its worth it. She says few countries expound at their contacts racing capacity. To the extent turkey did. These teams were keen to slowing the spread of the virus in Spring Health officials say. But now, like elsewhere in europe, the number off infections here is on the rise again. As in many other countries, peoples vigilance here has slackened in a recent survey. More than half of the respondents in turkey said the coronavirus does not affect a worry them. And critics also blame the government for this lack of concern because the Health Ministry no longer reports the number of new infections every day. But only the number of symptomatic patients john uncuffed, angelo, of the opposition c. H. P. Says the government is hiding. The real scope of the pandemic is thought will the cure will cost so slim. Here in istanbul alone, the number of cases is 20 times higher than the tally from the ministry of health from. Im saying this with regret, but the figures and information we have given are not correct. Were going to let you know john is on her next house call that she does not want to take part in political discussions. She knows the debate about the numbers, but doesnt want to get involved. That more and more people disregard. The coronavirus rules frustrates her. Been which is surely good. It makes me sad. We are putting so much effort into this. But whats the point, if so many act as if nothing can happen to them . And if this doesnt change their, we wont see an end to this pandemic. Google in hopes that she will soon be able to work as a dentist again, but she also knows that her new job will be meet it for quite a while. Also be escorted is director of the institute of Public Health. Good to have you on the show. Again, how important is Contact Tracing for your job as an epidemiologist . I think its very important. Its a crucial step in fighting the pandemic. So you need to have test results. Obviously the laboratories need to be in place and functioning, and then you need to have staff where actually trace track down people who may be in fact that test them and isolate them if they test positive is a very important crucial aspect. And what about these Contact Tracing apps . I mean, surely, we could do things so much quicker and more effectively with these apps. But do they actually help stop code 90 . There certainly is. The issue with these apps is that, that they will not work in all the smartphone platforms. So you need to have a relatively new generation smartphone plus the software, not all can afford to have a smartphone. So if not all of us have a smartphone, then it already has limitations. And so thats why it can assist the process, but its not the solution to stop the pandemic. Yeah, theres already a divide there merging between rich and poor. What about the skeptics though . The people who just dont trust the technology. Well, theres always a, you know, you have issues in terms of the data protection, which is a very important point. But i think specially here with germany that did a very good job in making sure that none of personal data is actually transmitted. But of course, that is a concern, and some people may feel uncomfortable. So we need to work to really make sure that people understand the importance of having this app should it be available for all the smartphones that we are wearing. And the importance is as well that it only functions if a certain amount of people do actually download the app. That is correct. If you dont have the, if you dont have a smartphone, the app will not realize that you are close to someone who may be infected and will not give that signal to you that you may be at risk of getting the infection or having a contact that is infected, so its very important that people download and work with the app, obviously that this app is actually working. And this mechanism in turn, terms of tracing with the app is actually functioning to be talking about the functionality of the effectiveness of these apps. Why . Why did we get a europe wide app at the very beginning of this crisis . Thats a very good question. I think the European Union is not really taking a good steps in acting jointly. So we obviously need to have a good functional european solution and we should have had a european app that if you travel to france or to spain up there, the and the other European Countries that it works as well. And not just within your local setting. How did it stand, who managed to do such a good job of Contact Tracing . Initially before the 2nd wave . As you have shown the report, they have mobile teams, theyre going from door to those sort of say its a lot of manual work to trace the people who have been in contact with someone who is in fact that. And that really helps. As i mentioned before, its a crucial step and were doing the same job in germany. But if you reach a point where you have just too many cases, the systems just dont work anymore. Youre overwhelmed with the number of cases. And no matter how well organized you are at one point, it wont be enough, you wont have enough staff, you want to have enough people on the phone. You want to have enough people on the ground where actually able to trace and test and isolate. So thats why the system works very well up to a certain threshold and then the system stops to work. So nothings happened in germany about meds and september. So would you say germany is also overwhelmed by the situation . Yes, we can only overwhelmed by the situation. So we are behind the way if you, if you wish, and we need to get in front of the wave and actually be able to test and trace. And thats why we having the measures in place to actually have the number of people who are testing positive in the range where we can start to trace and test an isolated again. How do you see the situation developing now in the coming weeks and months . Well, what we have to understand is like the socalled lockdown is not a cure, its a reset. So to say, so you reduce the number of people who are infected to a threshold where you can act with the tracing and testing and isolating. And this soon as you open up a little bit, the number will increase again and then the point that the question is whether you can achieve a balance way you can, you are below the trash or where the can do their work and we can trace and test, but the risk is that you go over and then we having the issue as we have right now. So the situation of the and then make will be resolved as soon as we have a vaccine available and enough people who are vaccinated to be as caught director of the institute of Public Health that are lynch. Its a thank you very much for joining us today. And the interesting stuff. Thank you for having me. Well enough from a time for you to us. The questions is our science correspondent there which colbert, 19, diagnostics are most useful from an epidemiological point of view. There are basically 3 types of diagnostics that play useful, but different roles in the fight against covert 19. The 1st 2 are for determining whether someone has the disease or not. The Gold Standard for doing that is whats called a poly res Chain Reaction or p. C. R. Test. And it works by amplifying tiny amounts of any viral genetic material available in a sample. Up to levels where it can be detected. Although no test is 100 percent reliable, and p. C. R. Tests are very accurate on the downside. Theyre also slow and fairly expensive, which is a drawback when numbers of cases are rising rapidly. The 2nd class of detection diagnostics called antigen tests work by detecting viral proteins directly. Antigen tests are cheaper and they can deliver a result in minutes. But theyre also less accurate than p. C. R. Tests, which is a particular problem when it comes to what are called a false negative results. Thats when people actually have the virus. But because the test says they dont, they dont isolate still the speed and low cost make antigen tests, important tools and scenarios where infections are spiking and, and a lot of people need to be tested quickly and they can often be performed on site. So samples dont have to be sent off to specialized labs. The 3rd diagnostic in the covert 900. 00 pandemic thats playing an Important Role is whats called a serial logical test, generally called an Antibody Test which detects proteins called antibodies that form in the body. As part of the immune response, they can tell doctors if someone wasnt that did at least in the recent past, syria logical tests also play a key role in Vaccine Development since they can show whether a candidate is having the effect that we want, which is to prompts the immune system to produce antibodies. Theyre going, is there, ive been fizzling for any other developments on the r s. H. Well website, if you tell me dot com slash of 90 91 to change something. That is what hyde believes. But i mustnt touch it. And to soon as i find a solution, i go for it. The former minister of ecology knows this wound without me forestation sinan called return to celts, move the next time. Fortunately, shes not my canadian is more support for going on there constantly growing, living costs are rising, theyre becoming more densely populated. And now cities are pulsing to the beat of corona. Theyve become breeding grounds for the virus. Isnt the end of the world. A new beginning city planning in the flux made in germany, in a 60 minutes. W. I think is everything challenging 1st on how to make a muslim school, much different culture between here and there still challenging for everything. Traditional business. I think it was worth it for me to come to germany. Got my license to work as a swimming instructor, to share knowledge, to children, other dogs, to spend less time just to watch your story. Take part, cherish on info, migrants die. Every day heroes heroes could do this. To protect the environment can be found across the entire continent. Well introduce you to some of them in todays still welcome to new edition of in africa. I am sandra to know theyre coming to you from compiling the capital of uganda. Thanks, sandra. Well begin in west africa, senegal, to be precise, where we meet a man whos been fighting for the environment for 40 years, as an activist, as a government minister, and now as the head of a countrys reforestation agency. Now its, i have the Conservation Foundation in lagos, also coming up, a young woman in kenya uses flies to talk a waste of time produced by global food. And how villages in south to all my best size as our community and our communities in mozambique got the recycling box. There are many across the continent who are giving their all for the environment. Today we meet one of them. Thats mine. A former senegalese environment minister is dedicated to the greening that somehow region, not just from his desk as a lobbyist, but on the ground. Together with local residents, hes been planting mangroves and other trees, even using rather unconventional methods. At times. Senegal needs more trees and he who heads a large scale refers station project is busy getting them planted. Scientists say that without major reforestation, silly god will lose half its arable land within the next 5 years. Here on the cost of because a months region, farmland has become unusable due to sandy nation, mind grooves that once protected the shoreline, we cut down for firewood in building material. Ripping their families were desperate sold was encroaching into their rice fields which were no longer producing rice. It was very difficult for them. Bettman grooves, a rich ecosystem, to hold back flood waters, detail and erosion, and act as a natural sold beriah. They also store up to 5 times as much Carbon Dioxide is other trees. Once it became clear, just how beneficial the monk lives to farmers, things began to change the present. They were concerned about their rice fields and they became heavily involved in planting mangroves because of their rice field model among the d. M. It was one of them for 4 years. Villages in ca, noble have been working to save their paddies. The initiave t. V. Is organizing financed by the end all tied up early served as its president for many years for they are longer than our rice fields, no longer produce good. Have a speaker. Salt water is invading them more and more. We know no. The reason is because the man groups have disappeared. We need to replant them. Likely oceania provides us with mangroves. And one further north in the extremely arab motm region close to the Sahara Desert and came up with a more conventional method during the wet season. Nomads heads graze here. The animals have been recruited to help plant a forest. It will be part of the great greenwald that aims to cattell the city of this hell region. The head is fed the fruits of the poor southeast, the fast growing tree that mutely in water. The animals spread the seeds in their down. We are going to try this all across in a go. And we hope that in a year or 2 will find her sort is growing alongside like store grazing routes in senegal. Back took us a month because cynical lances for african mahogany, as its commonly known, has become rea here. There are also very few old animals left to spread the see if it is any more with the animals, it was necessary to think of an alternative way to disseminate the seeds. I dont wait for things to solve themselves. I am a man of action and i needed in affordable solution. Working within certain constraints does allow me some freedom. As soon as i find a solution, i apply it and move forward. These are called luxuries and this is his solution here. Young men from the village of use leans to cut the seeds of the african mahogany. The intention is to introduce more species diversity. All of our doing it here because in this area is basically one type of tree in new york. We are trying to encourage the growth of other trees, like the bio engine. That is the man grooves that are particularly dear to lifelong ecology tied to in our lives. Heart. Jew trees efforts over 150000000 bags have already been planted in a few years time. Canopus rice paddies should be sold free when the great green wall is complete, that it will be the biggest manmade garden on earth, improving the environment by tree. But its not just mega projects like this one that i important. Smaller individual initiatives can help too. And those are the ones we love to showcase doing a bit segment. Thats time coming to you right from here in nigeria. Lets take a look. This is not a face mask to keep out the coronavirus. Its a piece of art. This woman is made of textiles, but looks like a we know, flowers, nigerian artist marcella gets are material from tailors in lagos. Mostly its discarded fabric swatches. Sometimes its because i like you to just fall apart, but because they have some they also continue to meet. Hes a little strong, anyone who wasnt in on average worldwide one garbage truck full of clothes and stuff in a landfill, or in an incinerator each 2nd with her art muscle enough, joe torre is giving cloth a 2nd life by the same time making a living. Her works of even sold for as much as 25000. 00. Recycling has rarely been so practical and to puta full. And how about you . If youre also doing your bit, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us a tweet. Hash tag doing your best. We share your story. Wonderful works of art and what a way to use fabric scraps. Now we had to you up to a beautiful spot in that. Its hardly an office. Its one of the continents biggest apple growing region. But its true near to bought. It has also become a battleground in the small community. There is a pharmacy, a low chords over one of the most fundamental questions in farming today. Should pesticides be noosed or not equal africa reporter who went to hear both sides of the argument. The substance is that so division in italy is alpine valley is pesticides are in widespread use. A fact that has angered some locals and sponsor a heated debate between conventional and organic farmers who take flu as a name. It says on the packaging that it can harm unborn children in the womb. Just imagine this sort of product, just doing the rounds of ferguson. There goes my, that risk could be us. The Fruit Farmers were the ones who handle this stuff, and its concentrated form. Once it lands on the sprayer, its been diluted by a factor of a 1000 jewel for due to village of mas is located in one of europes most picture rest landscapes. In recent times, the local pharmacy has become the center point of research into the presence of pesticides in the am. Back in 2018, an independent Environmental Institute set up to measuring devices in the pharmacists gardens. The ad was monitored for 6 months. Although the closest fruit farm is about a kilometer away, several pesticides were detected in the em. And this is a small garden surrounded by hedges, right in the middle of a village with many houses. Theres a big tree which is supposed to offer protection proof, but few to more than 25 pesticides have been detected through the in god we have mice with could fail at present. There arent many orchards located near the village. Many locals want to see the landscape maintain its diversity. Its a different story further down the valley where orchards dominate the landscape. One in 10 apples in europe, a growing in the region and south to roll. 6 times more pesticides than is average in farming in italy, a sprayed on these monocultures assignment is an apple fama. He prefers to use terms like Plant Protection of the pesticide growing fruit without Plant Protection products is nearly impossible at the moment. Conventional farmers do their thing, they have their means and the organic farmers have theirs. But both kinds require Plant Protection by the Financial Experts nestled between the orchards. Its all been glued or has organic herb farm. Hes previously been banned from selling his produce because it contains pesticides. Now hes invested heavily in foil coverings to protect his plants. If you count them out of the air here contains a cocktail of contamination and were not just breeding one substance in. Nobody knows what happens inside the body when we breathe in this cocktail of substances, the advent of anger, the local Farmers Association says the situation has improved. Conventional farmers now have to plant protective hedges if they border on organic farms. All set up nets, which is supposed to stop the spread of pesticides, small steps of this kind of going some way towards easing tensions. But the widespread use of pesticides appears to be here to stay off. So then i cant really comment on the health risks. What we always say is that the substances have been tested and approved by the Health Ministry. Guardsmen used to be approved since he got all the stuff that was sprayed 1020 years ago, has now been banned. At the time they were allowed. And im convinced that the substances allowed today wont be allowed in a few years. Both the film american, the pharmacist, have set the ball rolling and it continuing the fight for organic farming to become the norm in and around. In a local referendum, in 2142. 00 thirds of the villages voted to ban pesticide use, the village also declared itself europes 1st pesticide free community. The Farmers Association took the matter to court several years later. The crew except that the result of the referendum, but the fight over the use of pesticides continues. Pharmacist, johannes frog now patting us, refers to a un report that describes the necessity for pesticides as a myth. It literally says the assertion by the agriculture mccool industry that pesticides are necessary is not only inaccurate, but dangerously misleading. Push came from us. It came like thunder. Many conventional farmers are concerned about the future of their businesses. The case has now reached the Supreme Court in rome, which will decide whether or not as to science should be allowed in the region. Up of production is clearly important. In ivory coast, it is growing. In fact, the west african country is the biggest producer. But those planes are exported and processed over little the profit goes to the local farmers and given to their wives in a border in the south of the country. A womens party has settled to do things differently, and they are reaping incredible results in terms of the environment typically considered the domain of men, there used to be no role in the cocoa harvest for these women. But now theyre farming and producing themselves. Juliet quasi founded a cooperative with the women in her own village in the southern part of ivory coast. Its aim is to produce cocoa beans more sustainably. And to use them for making more than just chocolate. This is it. Nothing is thrown away. We start with the muscle, its the sticky pulp which is never used in cocoa production. We add flavors and spices to it, which is unusual and innovative. The women use the juice from the pulp to make products such as flavor and cocoa beans and the husks to make tea. The 40 local women who have joined the cooperative are now earning an income for themselves and their families. I used to only work occasionally. When i didnt make much money, but since i joined the cooperative thats changed, i can earn the equivalent of 4 heroes 50 every day. Im happy because thanks to the cooperative, im now independent and the majority of ivory coasts 26000000 population work in the aggregate
