Ive told me a lot of well its good to have you with us covered 19 on the road to recovery thats the focus of a special session of the u. N. General assembly almost 100. 00 World Leaders are taking part in the 2 day summit coincides with the release of a u. N. Study that shows that more than 1000000000 people could be living in extreme poverty by 2030 due to the long term effects of the corona virus now the german chancellor Angela Merkel addressed the assembly via video link and she stressed the need for Global Cooperation to ensure equal access to vaccines around the world through 200. 00 need we must never forget the pandemic can only be truly beaten in the long 10 when everyone in the world has fat access to effective vaccines. Oh the coming the pandemic in the long term also means doing everything we can to a much stronger with regards to future challenges and crises to this and we need to close the International Cooperation above all with strong the International Organizations then we can succeed acanthus getting in as paul is Washington Bureau chief you know its good to have you on the program at the u. N. Summit secretarygeneral and so on a good terrace has urged the world to work closely together in the fight against a pandemic this close cooperation is always hearing a lot about how has this message been received in the u. S. Well i think i mean there is anticipation that the Incoming Biden Administration will help bring this country together and maybe even the world as the pandemic continues to roar throughout this country biden Just Announced in an interview that he will make wearing a mosque commendatory and will also americans to wear a mosque 100 today from his 1st day on in office and you mentioned that the situation there is still on the rise can you give us a. More picture of what it looks like that. Well to be honest it is really frightening at the moment the worst predictions are starting to come true here in los angeles Just Announced they will be out of i. C. U. Beds by christmas fornia just issued a stay at home order so each day breaking records for infection cases and deaths the nearly 3000. 00 tests that were reported on tuesday alone so with winter around the corner as well in the United States as in many other european and other countries Health Experts are just concerned the worst has yet to come. We hearing you know with the lots of vaccines expected to be rolled out soon for example in the u. K. But in the u. S. We do have a number of people large numbers of people who are against such such vaccinations how effective can best Immunization Campaign be. Yeah thats really a concern there is some resistance about the vaccine here in the United States and i think it is fair to play that the politics from the white house playing a role in that so the concern of the people is that it was developed too quickly and that there is worry that the side effects have not been tested enough so it will be a huge challenge to the medical and Science Community to explain the data and be as transparent as possible we just learned today that 3 former u. S. President s clinton bush and obama actually said that they would take the vaccine popularly live on television to prove it is safe for the general public and this will be a important and major p. R. Company in well be following that whenever it does happen in this poll in washington thank you. Here in germany the head of the Public Health institute says the country is still far from being in the current wave of corona virus infections under control a partial lockdown in place since early november has stabilized the numbers but has not achieved the expect to drop. The coronavirus pandemic is not yet letting up in germany. The head of the countrys federal Health Agency issued a stark warning. Many people are still getting infected with cold and 19 and the numbers are still too high they are on a plateau but they are not yet falling noticeably. We also see that the number of serious outbreaks and deaths is increasing from week to week but since both of these always occur with a certain delay we must expect many more here. Germany has been under a partial lockdown since nov 2nd the daily increase in new infections has leveled off with just over 22000 cases recorded on thursday but this but the restrictions on public life the numbers havent dropped significantly and this week the country reported a record 487 deaths the highest death toll since the onset of the pandemic with no clear change for the better insight chancellor Angela Merkel announced on wednesday that the partial lockdown will be extended until january 10th restaurants bars and Leisure Facilities will remain closed and context will be restricted some say even that is not enough the Southern State of bavaria is considering tougher measures. In the coming weeks well really have to ask ourselves whether all these measures are enough whether we can keep the country in a sort of half sleep like this or whether we should be clear and consistent and impose even stricter measures in certain areas with some exceptions will be made over the Christmas Period to allow friends and families together. In berlin some think a loosening on restrictions over the holiday is a good idea while others fear it may be too risky. That it is very difficult at the moment people cant meet with friends they cant see or their grandparents maybe these few days will have a positive effect on our lives and with. This will only make things worse if we pause the restrictions and then we have to beat back the virus again. Still some long weeks of coronavirus restrictions ahead with hopes pinned on the forthcoming vaccines. And as the world prepares for mass vaccinations in the new year its highly likely that supply will not meet demand at 1st and that raises questions about who should be at the top of the vaccination list after months of doom and gloom a shot of hope or rather millions of them but well most agree that anyone who wants to get vaccinated should be able to demand is likely to outstrip initial supply thats why the World Health Organization is now recommending that health and social workers. Over 60 years of age and residence and stuff. Facilities should be played a taste for access to over 1000. 00 vaccines. The recommendations closely mirror the plan announced on wednesday by the British Government which said it will start vaccinations later this month. In countries with federal states like germany or the u. S. The question of who comes 1st and who will have to wait will be left to local authorities in the meantime german chancellor Angela Merkel has sought to come critics. Month gets food then nobody will be forced and thats needed this is a voluntary decision fog of the ever question of who thats needed 1st is being discussed. But i think i can already reveal this much of 1st and foremost of course we have nurses doctors and people in high risk groups because. Many have hailed the new vaccines as potentially Game Changing the beginning of a Brighter Future but across europe an era of euphoria mixed with clouds of caution it will inevitably take some months before all the most vulnerable protected long cold months so its all right to that as we celebrate this sort of typical achievement carried away with overoptimism. Fall into the naive belief that the struggle is over its not only after 60 to 70 percent of people have become immune to the virus will the pandemic be considered defeated and reaching that point worldwide will take time. Lets take a look now at some other stories that are making headlines around the world the german city of t. M. Has held a minutes silence to honor the 5 People Killed when a vehicle plowed into pedestrians on tuesday a 51 year old man is in custody prosecutors say the suspect was under the influence of alcohol and that there are no indications of a terrorist motive.

Now another one has been spotted on a hiking trail in Southern California local media is reporting that unlike the utah original this one is not bolted to the ground and could be tipped over the utah monolith which disappeared as mysteriously as it appeared captured the imagination of many with us references to the movie a space odyssey a similar structure has also been spotted in romania. Youre up to date this is the news im told me a lot of thanks for joining us. What secrets lie behind. Discover new adventures in 360 degree. And explore fascinating World Heritage sites. D. W. World heritage 360 the past now. Whats the secret to this classic. Music the sound. Or the story behind the music. Before the age. Group just. Awful. Symphony for the world starts to simmer down on you. This is the news africa coming up on the program. Doing it. As a Media Industry views with. One Digital Media house in south africa. But. Also coming up. Its a life threatening journey on the. Island. Welcome to the program the journalism industry has been hit hard due to the 19 pandemic across the continent loss of revenue from Advertising Media houses to lay off journalists some publications of even the how to. Survive and i even make in more. It Digital News Media outlet is now branching into print publication against all its. Investigative critical journalism thats the trademark of the day he never ache it started in 2009 as a digital only publication and has been of the forefront in exposing corruption and government failures in south africa in september they decided to swim against the current and published a print publication for the 1st time most media houses around the world have struggled with with this process of moving from a print publication into the Digital World and then having to digitally transform their operations weve been digital i mean right so we dont have to digitally transform we were born in the fire of digital which means you. We could never be bloated we always have to do more with less and so were taking that into the print space we. Create a print product. To traditional legacy publishers to create a print product the print edition is only available in one Supermarket Chain and it is for free if you used. Market hopes to draw. Into their branches specially in the midst of a global pandemic. Thinking my husband is. Just plain mean to remind me to. Enjoy the way they present the news i support printed Media Digital it is good print it really has a place its free here at the moment when i have to pay for it i will continue paying for it. Because you can sort of read it through. It almost. Unfortunately. Several publications in south africa did not survive the pandemic big media houses have had to retrench. Advertisement revenue people. As a medium but the big markets. Will compete for that was. Given that. We should be pleasantly surprised at the. Commercial interest in the product. To break even and double the circulation 250000 papers within 6 months. Joining me. Now. Venturing into print how realistic is that especially in these times. I think when it all started with the maverick and now that this is when it would be closing and i think everybody is quite shocked especially at a difficult time for me platforms across the world not just in south africa or africa and everybody was shocked but how weve come to realize and see this is that its something that we should get excited about and its something that we should support because in this day and age every media house needs to start entering into New Territory with the daybreak it was the other way around and it has a digital platform and now we go into the traditional. Broadsheet platform but its something that we see as something exciting and i think with the Daily Maverick because its such a Small Organization it can be nimble it doesnt have the issues of bureaucracy and making decisions and and everything has to be checked by this person and that i think most media houses need to be able to do that you need to be able to be nimble in this time now talking about these times food gives out things for free tell us about continental. Providing free reliable news from continental perspective now for free on continental perspective whats the deal here. Well with the content it started out as a conversation amongst colleagues in our newsroom in the mail and guardian and then the continent came about yes it comes out its find it and hence it is free and its all about making sure that we as many leaders as possible across the continent and it is shared mostly on whatsapp you can get it if you register. On whatsapp you can get it every saturday morning on your watch and you can read it and it is short news it is a way for much many more people who wouldnt necessarily have the access to traditional newspapers or have the money to get subscriptions to get news and it is so important and so vital in during this time when there are so many polarized voices for more and more people to get access to truthful and real news that is what the continent is and anybody needs to read it if you want a peer a pure a proper picture of africa and the african states looks like theyre. One thing has to make us a bit more flexible when we do our things but talking about the pandemic how has it affected your day to day journalist in johannesburg. Very difficult because one of the hottest lockdowns in the world couldnt be moved journalists were put as essential services that we could move around but you also had to think about your family so if you are going to run and you are going to be speaking to nurses and because that was the big story during that time you are going to be venturing into hospitals or places which have been locked down due to high cases and you have to also make sure that you are safe we had one of our journalists who could because she was trying to ensure that we are telling the stories properly so it has been very difficult but weve had to push through that and i think what has assisted us as the 1000000 guardian is out. Of the stories where we can give much broader focuses on. With out cutting down in the amount of bleach and that does need to get but its been difficult but journalists stood up and stepped up to the plate and took questions where necessary because information was and is still. Demick great. Thing happening and i think one thing about the future of journalism clearly. Flexibility is key you know if you want to adapt to the new times post only time will tell how. News. Thank you very much for your time. Thank you eddie. This year alone almost 20000 african migrants arrived on the shores of the Canary Islands many of them from senegal but then things into perspective about a 10th of that number arrived in the same period last year at least 500 people have died in the attempts to reach europe through the spanish archipelago but still many Young Africans consider it a perilous journey worth the risk our next report needs some of them instead of go undiscovered as new attempts by the governments to prevent young people from leaving. The senegalese port city of number. This is one of the main points of departure for migrant boat bound for the Canary Islands. These 2 brothers tried it they barely survived as death by court fiat they say they were lucky of more than 200 on board only about 50 are still a life back of the. Fire wasnt that strong yet when a petrol tank exploded you know i left my bags and jumped into the sea. Some people who didnt know how to swim grabbed on to me we swam and all around us people were drowning it was all filthy if we carried on swimming like that if god decides its no you time you survive. Despite this gruesome story many here say they also consider the journey across the sea and most live of fishing here but they say fish stocks have to endure. They blame asian troll us and the allocation of fishing licenses to european vessels plus the coronavirus pandemic has made life harder and strengthen the urge to leave in search of opportunities while feeder knew who they were and that it is the height of the reason we go fishing and when we come by. What we earn barely covers what we had to spend theres nothing for us here and thats why we prefer to leave it all behind and its the only way to help our parents and our families didnt look good now but its a new idea but its a new one when the 100. Clearly 1st mother paid a smuggler the equivalent of 600. 00 euros ranges crossing. A fortune for the family gone to waste as the vessel ran out of fuel and food and never made it to europe an all too common experience many migrants fall victim to the greed of traffickers the senegalese government initially slow to respond now says it is putting measures in place to stop the trend if you do you know the tickets will surely get it because teams have been on the ground for 10 days here in insan we or in the south trying to work out how many have left how many have survived and how many are preparing to go through the state is also putting measures in place to dissuade young people from leaving and most importantly stopping the traffickers because lets face it they are criminals and we need to treat them as such so it could be an equally critical to. The government also says it plans to boost its will case no retraining programs to help the senegalese youth build a life in their home country but despite the high risk of death many still cling to the ideal that a Brighter Future lies across the water. Finally the civil war in the Central African republic oblong ended a tradition of dugouts kunle racing but recently its making a comeback in the capital of. The fights and becomes less intense allowing for the core shows or vi of all of the popular contests does it work if everything had been stopped in the Central African republic it was only from 2017 when 2 are there a came to power that we could start racing again. Here the pirogue race is very important and widely followed. We normally do it at the start of every december there are 2 kinds of peer oaks the ones where you stand and the ones where you said look. If you saw us in. Well i think up for fed to set an option for the outside for now stories go check out dot com slash africa or visit our facebook and twitter pages well leave you with pictures of those can move races in Central African republic by for now. To the point of strong opinions clear positions from international perspectives. On the fragile peace just declared in ethiopia great profits be sustained ethiopias Prime Minister ill be adding that from the nobel peace laureate to mouth more thats our topic on to the point. To the point. In 60 minutes on d w. Im not laughing at the germans while i get somebody down but most and nothing with the german thinks deep into the german culture. Think this drama day oh do you suppose its all that they know im rachel join me for me to get the money to host. A major boost for boeing the plane maker has received its 1st major the 737 max since the model was involved in 2 deadly crashes also on the program. Has one of the highest rates of coronavirus deaths in the world its economy is also suffering well look at the struggles facing peruvian fall.

Lets bring in our correspondent in new york again scorcher on this this isnt very good news for boeing is no. It definitely isnt it also reflects in the share price already on wednesday we had the 1st flight to mood to do with media on board so that already gave the stock quite a boost and now on thursday a gain of another 6 percent avoiding stock is up by around 50 percent just since the beginning of november so yes it is a promising sign and saw theres supposed to receive for 9 and a half 1000000000. 00 for those planes and even if usually you are getting some discounts if you play such a big authors over at boeing wont get the entire 9 and a half 1000000000. 00 but clearly off there are hundreds of cancellations so some light at the end of the tunnel at least when it comes to book. Yes things looking up for boeing can the same be said for the u. S. Airline industry. Well i mean just that. Those planes scott ordered is quite a sign of confidence actually the airline is talking about that maybe already by easter as things go to normalize lets wait and see if that timeframe is realistic but other than that at the moment the situation for the Airline Industry is definitely not very bright we just heard from Delta Airlines that they expect higher kirshner and then originally expected to because of those some corona infections increasing here in the United States so that less people will probably travel than originally estimated to. Have a daily cash burn rate were talking per day by 12. 00 to 14000000. 00 in the 4th quarter the stock still was up on the boeing news the amount of money theyre losing daily is astonishing is now in new york thanks for bringing us up to date. The European Alliance have also had a tough time during the pandemic but could play a key role in the next phase of battling. Delivering that seems around the world will be one of the biggest logistical challenges the whole planet has ever faced german flag carrier. Is getting ready. The vaccine against covert 19 could soon be transported worldwide in these special containers temperatures of minus 70 degrees celsius for months phillipe looked back has been preparing for this massive undertaking a Cargo Airline love tons of cargo hes the one responsible for the transport of pharmaceutical products. The turmel containers are usually meant 10 temperatures of up to minus 20 degrees celsius but thanks to a special procedure in which the vaccine is covered with dry ice litter beck and his colleagues can also guarantee temperatures of minus 70 degrees. When this preprepared Airtight Container will be delivered to the pharmaceutical manufacturers just like this its back to the manufacturers plant and when it arrives at low tons of cargo its already at the right temperature its then shipped to its final destination its also sent to the recipient farm or warehouse where its finally opened at the correct temperature wise we dont know what. The temperature of the container is monitored throughout the entire journey whether its taxiing in frankfurt in the belly of a plane or even on another continent. For this to work of tons of cargo c. E. O. Peter garrett set up a worldwide network. This invite were going to we could start tomorrow weve been working on this intensely for months in a task force comprised of our experts as well as expert shippers and producers take our deliveries of insulin for instance were now capable of transporting and delivering it to brazil in 18 hours it will also work for this vaccine. He hadnt been for but by the football field. Without the close collaboration among shippers from all over the world it would probably be impossible to guarantee a chain of transport in which temperatures of minus 70 degrees can be maintained. Quite a lot of components have to Work Together in concert we as an airline and the shippers work hand in hand on a thermal container has many checkpoints and we test whether the temperature is still in the right range if theres still enough dry ice and of the batteries still properly charged and. This is all especially important with regard to the corona virus vaccine because it can spoil so easily the 2 and a half tons of medication that fit into each container are just expensive theyre also expected to be in hot demand where theyre delivered whether in africa asia or south america.
