70 good day. So good to have you with us. How much of a setback has it been for the efforts to fight hiv aids since the pen demick broke out . Yeah. Hello, and im very glad actually about, you know, bringing attention to this age. Hiv aids pandemic again, because indeed they have much concerns that the court 19 pandemic will pushed aside our efforts and a champion aids prevention. Now of course, we dont know the impact yet at that age of the aids had all of that covered. 9 of them and happen each of the aids, but the estimates that when you have 6 months of lack of delivery of and to provide a medication that you get up to a 1000000 more aids death in a year or so, which would push back. But i want absolutes almost a decade, so it doesnt seem to be as bad, but only know next year when the new aids reports come out. Now as you know, better than anyone that weve seen, medical breakthrough reset when it comes to fighting coping 1000 in terms of developing a vaccine that the Technology Used for these vaccines be used in the fight against hiv aids. Well, there might be some benefits that people have dropped from the development of the m. And a big scene. However, it takes a long time to actually generate a working vaccine and test this working for it seems so to give you an example should be vaccine that were currently that is currently being tested and supplement africa was started in 2017 in the phase 3 trial. And be out waiting until next year, but this has shown as any kind of efficacy. So its much slower than in the current pandemic. But i have some benefit from the cope with 90. And i mean, in terms of new technologies, lets talk a little bit more about that because the 1st vaccinations against kobe 1000 are expected to take place in a couple of weeks time. This is 4 decades after hiv was 1st diagnosed in the united states. Youve outlined some of the challenges. I mean, are you just heartened by that . Well, i mean, its very modest compared to 19 pandemic to invade the pandemic because 19 and has, is that its a virus maybe have naturally immunity and can form natural immunity. Aids, there is no caves that nature, that somebody can puro them stuff from h. M. P. So its much harder to actually find a big scene if the meter doesnt show us how to do it. So this is of one side of the token so that its just generally harder to find a big theme against such a virus. On the other hand, it is true that not much and not a lot of the same kind of effort has been put in place against hiv and aids. That it was now for the covert. 19 pandemic. And in conclusion, as a doctor and a health expert, what message do you have for Global Health policy makers on now World Aids Day . Well, i think the most Important Message we also have is that the age of the aids pandemic is far from being all work. And that every person who is infected with aids or be needs to be treated because a person that does that tested early and treated efficiently, cannot give the virus to another person. And its not only saving life, but its also helping to end the aids pandemic. Professor hendrika streak at thank you for joining us. Thank you. Turning now to eastern europe, the region with the worlds Fastest Growing hiv pandemic epidemic. Rather, thats according to u. N. Aids over the past decade. New infections in the region have risen by almost 30 percent, and one country thats bucking that trend is ukraine, where improved testing and treatment is helping people live life to the fullest. And he can use nikolay talked to 3 ukrainians about how h. L. V. Changed their lives. But i was given enough, had a lot of nos in my life because of my age hiv status. Without a doubt about my thought hiv was something that only affected prostitutes and drug addicts. And that if you were quote normal, nothing bad could happen. She wasnt what i think will go. It will never tell anyone about this. That was my 1st reaction to my age. Have a positive test results that i was being ive had a chinese since i was born. My dad died of aids when i was 7. A year later my mum told me i had a child. As a kid, you dont get what everyone else is thinking, but your life is over, that youre going to die. My mum told me id have to take pills and that was it. It was borger. So but an organ was not necessary for going to cost. My partner became seriously ill and the doctors didnt have a clue. One day the man i was dating decided to tick off the condom without telling me a month or so. Later i had tonsilitis and a rash. I just remember thinking, i know what this is. Pitiful attack enough of keeping it secret. So i decided to tell my classmates at college. Yes, im a child, be positive. I ended up telling everyone, maybe i was just lucky, but the reactions were great. And i ended up going out with the prettiest girl in our group here, which creates a challenge. But im telling what lots of people one day in the 21st century h. L. V. Age doesnt have to be a game changer. If everyone has access to testing and treatment, this disease is manageable problem with the official who visits even i get messages from other people with hiv, thanking me for speaking out about my status, theyll tell you that theyve had hiv for 10 years, but only their mothers know what so many people are giving up on themselves and their lives. Theyre convinced that theyll never have a serious relationship or a decent job. And they just end up cutting themselves off from everything. I try to show them that its not the age or the status thats doing that to their lives. Its their fears that are the problem with that theres no reason to give up because the child or go back to our top story now police in the german city of here are reporting that 2 people have been killed and several seriously injured by a vehicle that drove into a pedestrian zone, there are police said that a suspect has been taken into custody, but asked people to avoid the area where it happened and security. My colleague, nina haas, who is tracking this story for you. You know, what more have you learned . Well we know that 2 people have died and several injured and a person has been arrested.

Are going to change tack a moment before we go to the mystery surrounding a metal monolith in the u. S. State of utah. Or the alien looking object, it was discovered in the desert there 2 weeks ago by a helicopter crew who were counting sheep. But now it has only vanished leaving some wondering if it was put there and removed by other worldly like something from another wild. A metal monolith hidden away in utahs red rock, does it. And landscape that resembles that of planets, mas ok, the intrepid explorers. Go down to investigate the alien life form. It was spotted by a helicopter crew from the Utah Department of public safety, which was conducting an animal count. Some might suggest that discovering this 3 metre high structure was a welcome distraction from counting sheep. Its certainly got people talking and investigating, even though the local authorities had tried to keep its location a secret. So is it solid or not solid . It sounds a little bit like a cardboard box. Sigh, find q. C. s, have linked the object to the film 2001 is a so to see in that 968 Stanley Kubrick movie and alien monolith becomes a recurring symbol. Heard everything from this fall from the sky, you know, did it, and got up and plant itself. There is it otherworldly, you know, without looking at a close and seeing that there are human, made this thing together. You could definitely let your imagination imagination said, definitely running wild now, after news that the monolith has disappeared altogether. The work of extra terrestrials mom, lets just say its been taken by an unknown party who are there watching it . Every news coming up next. Indeed, every news asia, a bumper crop of outrage. Farmers in india, their new reforms or their income, and those profits for big cooperative corporations. And a dispute over kim, she fires up a feud between south korea and china. This is the only news spirits rendered. You will be here with you. Aish, i should say, up next on how all those stories for you were saying at the top, the odds the body, could go to the best stunning upset for the b. B.

For the ages, greatest of all laugh a tobins nights sleep for the world starts to simmer down on you this is the wus a show coming up today, often noms against the cultural rolls. They say when he needs them off of the government. So his fear, misinforms of experience time South Koreans are outraged off to the chinese clearly the south korean government. While South Koreans take this to heart im british. Welcome. Glad you could join us. The highways leading to the indian capital of delhi are blocked, as thousands of farmers protest against new agricultural laws passed by. The government. Farmers are demanding a rollback of the laws, claiming they remove a government, a short grain purchase scheme that acted as a safety net for them. The government has assured the scheme will continue, but farmers arent convinced these 20000. 00 farmers arent going anywhere. Their trucks and tractors are blocking the major highways near indias capital. Each one of our tractors is loaded with rations up to 4 months. Until the time the government reverses these new agricultural laws, none of us will go back to the farmers feel their livelihoods are threatened. They fear that the government will stop buying grain at guarantee prices. But the worry is that this could leave them at the mercy of corporations who wont pay enough for their crops. Prime minister, Narendra Modi is trying to placate the group, he says the growers are being misled and the new laws will benefit them. Whats your book and i want to tell the citizens and farmers from the banks of the river ganges marking, and the holy city of our narcy that we are working with intentions, which are pure as the water of the river ganges. And without any purpose of betrayal, modis government says the laws give farmers the freedom to sell their crops to private buyers rather than through the state. But the farmers remain unconvinced. And how we have always suspected the governments intentions and always will because the government has become a slave of the corporations. They want to turn us into their slaves as well. The farmers protests have been going on for months since parliament passed the new laws in september, but theyve intensified in recent days. When thousands of farmers clashed with Police Security forces used tear gas and Water Cannons to prevent protesters from entering delhi. They were stopped just outside the city, but theyre now determined to camp out for the long haul on a miniature address for joining me from delhi with more. And im sure the Prime Minister has repeatedly said the farmers have nothing to worry about. Why arent farmers convinced mobilizations trudeau the Prime Minister as well as the government have to be deleting the sites. But any concerns that farmers need to have out of the side of the opposition parties, misleading them that these laws which evolution and that are any potential and allow them to access competitive pricing from private organizations that they havent been able to do. So. Yet these laws on the road on the true issue policy issue that is central to the concerns all to promise, which is the minimum support price on emma speak. The m. S. B. Of basically a gag. N. D. B. Is price for some of the major crops across india. And farmers can access these prices at the local state, designate didnt mondays of markets for these crops. Well with these laws now allow commerce dont send operates as well. Farmers by the that high prices will your them in the beginning up to the stars at all or doubt, but eventually the government will have to deal and do a good job from the commitment to the madames. What crazy . Even farmers in the look of the government is also saying that in just farming sector needs reform and that these new laws do that. Why is this proving so controversial . Bendish again its about pricing in the awning but anxious often. For example, one of the things that these laws do is that there are a lot of promise to send out site over the phone, then youre just market which has been to the silk but so they can actually go into other markets as well. And it will degrade live they can with corporates and ask for the most Competitive Price for their crops. And the price of the price across have been a 1. 00 for many years for us who have been demanding that the government was more than around this. However, the farmers bring back the attention once again, the minimum support breaks, the law does not say that the government were to meet, commit to do it. In addition, farmers up believe that they were not consulted before these laws were passed. And then add to this the fact that there is a suspicion that this government, what skills even corporate and feeble corporate. This is added fuel to the fire, red farmers beauties, lot and the demand that they must be completely to repack to live there all the time. Being but thank you so much for that. Im sure thats why i live in delhi. One of my favorite for men to dishes is now at the center of a spat between south korea and china. The row over this kimchi and whether it is chinese or korean kimchi, according to the un, is the korean neighbor preserved vegetables season with spices and fermented seafood cabbage being one of the most common versions. But Chinese State run newspaper global times claimed that china had received an International Certification for kimchi, but what it had received was one for power. Chinese style salted for many vegetables. The chinese claim over kimchi didnt go down well in south korea, from thing, even the agriculture ministry, to issue a clarification, that kimchi shouldnt be confused with you know, if the saying holds true that you are what you eat, then koreans are kimchi, 95 percent of them eat the spicy pickled cabbage every day. Thats 2000000 tons annually. Even its preparation is a celebrated ritual. So reports that china had secured International Certification for a comparable product. Was something many koreans found hard to digest. So im going to take the time that you need your story. The china now says kimchee is theirs, and that theyre making an International Standard for its absurd. Im worried that they might steal other cultural goods, not just can go to a similar chinese pickle called power. Was recently certified by the International Organization for standardization or iowa. So which pointed out the standard does not apply to kimchee. But chinas state run global times devoured the news, hailing the new standard for the quote kimchi industry led by china. Caught by surprise, Chinas Foreign Ministry recognized the pecan situation and called for more diplomacy. You know, if i mean that, is there an argument about this one . Ha, im not aware of this. I think there has been some disagreement on line. Yes. Is that right . Question. If you wish, youd go and ask our colleagues in the south Korean Embassy about wheres the argument . I think we should have more cooperation and sharing the perceived cultural and called an area appropriation also has some koreans asking whos to blame. You know, i dont think that korea is handling the situation that well, its important to make our own food appealing to people around the world. That if we dont do that, thats our problem. Not china, that kimchi clash may be cooling down. But its still packed with emotion. So lots to digest on the plate. Lets bring in dr. Saud jean name. Shes a senior metro lecturer at the university of central lancashire, dr. Name. Why are South Koreans taking this to a hot . Well the thing is that the kids here is Something Like a cultural thing rather than just a food in korea. So in korea, for example, we dont have served as up to meals like by my walk, what we have all of food at the same time on the one table with a side dish is and ginger is the main side issue and its there always. And for example, you know, for myself, i eat kimchi every day and you know, i can take, cant even think about what i cant have. And if i cant have cutesy for, for example, for like a week, then i feel like im really missing him. She. So it is something imbedded in our lives, in korea and you know, it has a history and really just, you know, talk about kimchee pretty much and you know, even before wintertime, every single family, you know, we need to make a kimchi, we have this process and have kind of traditional to make you, but you know, when youre in, you think about, for example, and you tell, you know, the of pasta and the leaves are there. But you know, if other countries claim that this is their own once, then that would be really disturbing. So this is a kind of fight to china. This time claims that the as an international as standard or is asia and gave them the as i speak, asian about chinese kimchi socalled from chinese side, which is a that is a people could out as to whether they can. She can just like affirmative to go. So that is why its so bothering for South Koreans to call, could well as kimchi, which is really different from. What do you see is the reason behind this serve china is a time to in a sense, to claim came true as of their own. It looks like chinese do not claim to as is only fat, but chinese, by having a certification for their pouch. Ok. They included a kinship as a part of this series of different of as topples you know, way and always. So this is a see is a part of the cultural diplomacy and having all this food in the region as a part of chinese, whatever origin else than that kind of makes their way to go beyond their country self. So that is why the korean government is so much allergies as well about that. Do you see that theres a feud over food will continue for in the near future . Is nothing new . For example, like 1000 years ago, some of those i remember correctly. We already had the similar kind of dispute before as well. So the chinese food and korea, we have similar to yours and the differences book in jesus so unique for, for our culture and society. So we already had this kind of dispute before, but now the korean government does not consider it as a kimchi, an indian chinese dr. Lim, president , or about the contrary. Instead of north Korea Nuclear policy that we normally discuss. Thank you so much and thats it for today. Those want to work side. They doubled up all votes that asia we live in now with images of chinas top wingsuit athlete juncture bearing, taking a jump from tantamount to an inside. Old china.
