leaders in a relationship increasingly more of a conflict than consensus. well among the measures agreed all non-essential domestic travel is discouraged over the eastern they kishan but people will be allowed to fly to spain for holiday as you know his chief political editor. what the justification was for that exception. it wasn't legally possible to ban travel particular to spain that would not hold up in court but at the same time having holy thursday now effectively a bank holiday here in germany which normally is an ordinary working day it's still not clear what the legal route towards enshrining that will be precisely so that leaves people here with a pot pourri of new regulations that all put together don't really point towards any kind of coherent strategy once again a tough lock down it's supposed to be a wave break that's the argument but what has also become evident is that lockdown seems to be the only answer given every time that this group of state meets the german chancellor was still no coherent testing strategy to speak of. ricky marker for speaking to me earlier let's bring you up to speed now with some of the other stories making news this hour the united kingdom has held a minute's silence in london and across the nation to remember the 126000 people who have died in the corona virus pandemic on the u.k. is the worst affected european country and has the world's 5th highest recorded covert 19 death toll. the u.s. has pledged to rebuild and revitalize nato after 4 years of tension under the trump administration secretary of state anthony blinken told fellow foreign ministers in brussels that the alliance stands at a pivotal moment but could emerge stronger despite current disputes within the transatlantic alliance. 10 people including a police officer have been killed in a shooting at a supermarket in the u.s. state of colorado an injured suspect has been detained the attack in the city of boulder is the 2nd deadly mass shooting in the week you know in the country rather in a week. we pivot our attention now to israel because israelis are heading to the ballot box today in the country's 4th national election in just 2 years where voters face a choice between bloc so that back a long standing prime minister benjamin netanyahu and those who seek to oust him mr netanyahu is running despite the standing trial for corruption and with the opposition fragmented opinion polls suggest the vote will once again lead to a shaky coalition that if one can be formed at all. every vote counts and every detail action of support. 'd and not power to slips next to the gaza border and south in israel she's out in the streets to remind people to vote she has no doubts about who should remain prime minister binyamin netanyahu. the legalists now it's the moment of the elections i'm here to remind people who is the best to vote for him bibi netanyahu a little good that's all that call the 1st election in 2 years is once again seen as a vote for or against benyamin netanyahu the leader of that he could party run his election campaign on the much admired covert 19 vaccination drive and the reopening of the economy this time he has several challenge us all running on an anything but netanyahu ticket he led pete with his centrist yes a tea party is 2nd in the polls. actually good politician get on with new hope also aims to replace netanyahu just like right wing enough taliban and from yemenia who's left it open whether he would join a coalition with netanyahu we have about 3 to 4 liberals of the internet danielle camp standing divided against that then you know so if you stand together but you are divided. the ability of co-working is very limited so the ability for them to form a coalition that will be able to govern and will be able to survive. is improbable to reach a majority in the knesset the israeli parliament and to form a government parties need to get 61 out of 120 seats for many israelis netanyahu has become an increasingly divisive figure he's been in office since 2009 and he faces corruption charges in court allegations he denies the now of ours mitten yeah it was days are over he has been our prime minister for 15 years that's it and we need something new a different prime minister after 7 chevy rebuttal sure i think baby will be reelected because this nor one more promising although i want to believe there is someone else i don't really treasure a little i want the same prime minister to stay because he's good for everyone to look around you should people are living thanks to the prime minister people in our life bibi netanyahu. opinion polls suggest that netanyahu is likud will remain the strongest party what's less clear is who can build a coalition one still votes are counted. do a little deep dive where did every reporter shouting or an assertion is so good to see you you are from israel you closely follow developments in israel what distinguishes this election from the previous 3 elections held in the past 2 years . well 1st of all exhaustion and despair people are completely you can see also that in the present as a participation in this this time around it's far lower it's the lowest since 2009 so far we still have 3 more hours for polling stations to be open but people are just fed up and you know it's like the kid who cried wolf politicians keep telling them every time the 4 times already in 2 years this time this is the determining you know election this is the complaint it's going to set and tonight then yeah we've here in the antenna thing now complain or the need to you know aside this will be finally the chance for me to have the right wing strong government i've always been craving it's not happening people are losing patience and losing interest and you see that the biggest effort that politicians are making today is getting people out there getting people to the polling stations to vote mr netanyahu is arguably on the on the on the ballot paper he still had a world beating vaccination rollout will that secure his reelection will that be enough. he hopes so good chances according to the polls it's gives him a good boost let's not forget that after 4 years people have already set up their minds who are there for mostly who are who they are against it's also easy to swipe you know to switch sides and to get people to vote and this is the biggest challenge people are having so this experiment of trying again and again like a like gambler in the casino thinking this round this is the one that i'm going to hit the big jackpot it seems like is the politicians that playing that game but because they know with brains and you know we see they don't really manage the house always wins and they don't mean it managed to turn every different result and they refused to find a way to make this all work we also need to keep in mind we didn't just end up in the 4th election within 2 years this is a designed act by netanyahu i mean the previous elections had taken a very strong opponent that he had benny gantz the former head of chiefs of staff that had immense power and immense support and he was supposed to be the rotating prime minister to change seats and that's now and it can now decided not to make that happen i mean had he chosen to stick that agreement we would have not had any new complaints you know so soon we would have had more stability but it's now we need to keep in mind is is also involved in deep allegations of fraud and bad trial that is keeping that's the buzz that is a never but he's yours it's very clear that it's it's a big factor in the way he conducts himself politically and he below where of it but by now people are also so confident with loving or not loving him it's really hard to make much of a difference in the fact that there's a low participation rate that might be the biggest determining factor for this round because if there aren't enough votes some people will be very disappointed mostly left parties who are really really need to cling on to every vote in order to make it to the threshold to make it to the minimum needed to make it to get enough seats and they will be struggling a lot and we'll see where it leads us in about 3 hours when the polls are closing. date every reporter shannon rosanna's thank you so much. thank you and. now a massive

many other countries are still waiting and the global figure is not that good on the 1.3 percent of the world population has been fully immunized. israel was the country that was vaccinating the quickest. reporting on them quite a bit now chile is administrating more dos's as a percentage of the population. is their case numbers have gone through the roof to a doctor about that in a moment this report. the sick plane from china carrying 2000000 doses of sign of act vaccinations against covert 19 taxis on the runway in chile's capital santiago every 3rd chilean has had their 1st job already that's the kind of vaccination rate that other countries can only dream of. we are very happy not only because we fulfill the needs of the country but because we cannot continue with a higher objective to have vaccines for 15000000 people during the 1st semester of this year. chile is the world's kovac 19 vaccination champion while the e.u. makes sluggish progress on inoculation the country of 19000000 on south america's pacific coast has already caught up with overtaken vaccine heavyweights like the u.s. and britain chile was quick to get its orders for vaccines in early from astra zeneca johnson and johnson and pfizer biotech but also from signs of attack on the sputnik vaccine presidents have been yet overseas the vaccination campaign personally vaccination centers they're everywhere from parking lots to football stadiums nobody has to make an appointment and anyone who's up for the 2nd shot is also free to walk in and get it officials want 80 percent of the country fully vaccinated by june that means herd immunity however the successful vaccination campaign has yet to translate into a reduction in numbers infected daily infections reaching record highs health officials fear the campaign may have inadvertently encouraged people to become complacent about prevention measures and take increased risks. alexis college's is director of the millennium institute on immunology and immunotherapy and joins us from the catholic university of chile how has chile managed to get so quick a fax and a. thank you for that interview. my question really is. really great connection between. reading and we think on the private sector of well off. to get a little with a 5 but you know long history a long provision of. nations so we have a very well organized for several decades to nation program here for all the benefit. so one is going to reach all the way from the north of the country to the south to every small town so we have a very strong network of health care systems and provide support for the connection complaining so you reckon that's one of the reasons behind this is that having regular vaccine campaigns for other diseases. is behind the success it is something is missing in some countries and is said to have led to so much public skepticism about vaccines in general. right so that's one reason and also. i think the longer menu isn't based on this size the research that we do here we're aiming status dovish. collaboration scientific and clinical collaboration with some of the developers of our community back say we want them especially were able to start this supply agreement that was transfer from the academia from the couple university to the government so they almost able to secure a sufficient in boxing those of us to get this strong and massive campaign lalan that together with a very active in addition network of about the nation the country i think has allowed to move for a very efficiently time sulfide but in aden but i think the most important point is that the syrian society is very willing to use a clearance. so they have been very and their vision then the cooperation from the people to taksim compay that's a great we have already said of their population by today what about the fact that case numbers are still rising despite the vaccine drive being so successful. well they're kind of all over luck so the vaccine companies started really massively. really february and the numbers were rising or any paper e this is also a holiday effect but it was seen also europe and the u.s. . we have our summer break from january and february early march so there rise the numbers. are probably due to the holy q the same the holy see him kind of the same situation there was a spring of serving in europe i mean in the u.s. . let me just start leaders by that have anything to do with reports that the chinese vaccine is less effective. well there is data from our survey the studies showing that this final are like saying 5 patients see. 78 percent for the. c.b.d. my own cases. are one percent for the severe cases some 50 percent for kerry my case and so with specter the fact seems 1st to start showing effect on their hospitalization rates and that that raised their status in turkey and then each other the efficacy data showed $91.00 salient 65 percent or so they think us of the vaccine based on the clinical studies between 50 and 100 percent depending on the type of the case so it was back to see that they merely. say were to keep the cease fire very you would use an hour when doing also here than to the study just to check the vaccine and we have observed so far that about 90 percent of people show antibodies after 2 weeks after the 2nd the last 2 weeks of the 2nd those we had we should we see that about 90 percent of them for them to was there at all antibodies and those aren't life in that life . ok we'll have to leave it there lexis kellyanne just director of the millennium institute on immunology and immunotherapy thank you very much for being on the show today and can i thank you for my own doing. well the question of vaccine advocacy is a hot button issue right now chile was part of a large trial of astra zeneca is vaccine along with peru and the united states astra zeneca says its vaccine is 79 percent effective out to the trial of 30000 people which look to clear the way for the jap to get us approval but american health officials now say they're worried astra zeneca may have used outdated information in the trial and may have provided an incomplete view of the efficacy data the fama firm is still crunching the latest numbers and says it intends to issue brazil shortly. and it's that part of the show where derek williams and says your questions on the coronavirus. to the different vaccines protect people from the long term effects of covert 19. many patients who contract covert 19 become what are known as long haul ers or people who have long covert there's currently no way to predict who that might affect although there isn't really an accepted definition for it having long cove it basically means you don't return to your previous levels of health even months after sars kopi to falls below detectable levels in your body it's affected millions of people who have a wide spectrum of longer term symptoms with with chronic fatigue for example a really regular complaint there are 2 big theories for for what might be causing it one is that long it happens when the body can't clear out all of the virus or viral fragments left after infection that basically the virus is able to hide in some people somehow and then the body goes into a kind of of a trench warfare mode the 2nd hypothesis is that. long tube it is an unchecked auto immune response so so an off the rails immune system in some patients experts say it could be a combination of both but there's no doubt that for people suffering long coated symptoms the prospect of getting vaccinated must be pretty terrifying i mean could getting the shot actually make you feel more years well although i emphasize that we still can't say anything for certain there are a growing number of anecdotal reports that getting vaccinated appears to be actually helping at least some people with long overdue we don't know why. one small study and peer review also at least indicates that more long haul worse feel better than feel worse after being vaccinated the problem is to find out more we would have to conduct trials where some long haul words get covert 19 back scenes and and others get placebos masquerading as covert 19 back scenes i don't think that's going to happen to be honest in the current climate right now i can only say that the general consensus seems to be that long haul ors should also be vaccinated and some anecdotal reports say it might help with sometimes. and because we're all in this for the long haul and not just humans scientists are racing to protect the animals from the coronavirus they often use the same playbook as for people like social distancing and health checks and now back say it's this month the san diego zoo you know they had several apes with an experimental covert vaccine intended for pets in the animals the 1st known human primates to be vaccinated. the veterinary pharmaceutical company so weight is . develops the back saying that he a good zulu australopithecus and a few other apes offer a troop of corellas tested positive in january as in has gorillas but no bows adarand texts that he enjoys
