The country with the worlds 3rd highest covered 19 Death Toll its trying to speed up its immunization program only one in 10 mexicans has had at least one dose of vaccine and the government is appealing for more shocks from abroad as president andres manuel Lopez Obrador he received the Astra Zeneca shot last Month But Mexico is also hoping to start producing its own vaccines and administer them through. Mexico one of the countrys worst affected by the Corona Virus Pandemic and dependent on imported vaccines in short supply globally. To help reduce the countrys future dependency mexicos developing its own vaccine named pottery or spanish for homeland the company spearheading the drive has already eyeing clinical trials. The mexican government hopes the vaccine can be approved for Emergency Use by the end of the year authorities say it has several advantages. If. This is a vaccine that can be administered as a nasal spray. And weve been laying the groundwork for Mass Production that will help keep costs low. And this in turn will make the vaccine more accessible to people in countries such as ours which are not as wealthy. Thats things in large part to drawing on u. S. Technology already used in other vaccines which the mexican developer says as proven safe and effective the mexican government has contributed to the funding. But if it were not i think its good i dont know when it will come out the problem here has been the lack of support for research so it will take a long time. Mexico is a country that should be a leader in the americas. And it should help supply other countries in central america. Mexicos president has condemned Vaccine Hoarding by rich countries in the past he says his nation will share its vaccine with others. Well Dr Peter lazy is the chairman of the department of microbiology at Icann School of medicine at Mount Sinai in New York he and his team developed the key ingredient for the nasal Spray Vaccine that mexico is developing and has the snuffy Name N D V H X p s explain to me what that means. Let me 1st explain the name n. P. V. Stands for Pixel Disease Virus Newcastle Disease was which essentially an avian virus and were using a Vaccine Strain for it brain off she was his director to take cheating against Newcastle Disease was reusing this one and introducing in this new Castle Disease Mass and be the best known thing the Surface Both Pain offs also coauthor of virus 2 and so on and we give that back scene to people or to animals then we would use the S Protein is selfish caca probably know the. Sauce going to mars too and then we make an immune response against this Surface Chemical Problem thing which is well take steve so and they have a speedy stance for x. Up rolling 6 paulines into itS Protein which stabilize the whole thing make it explains much more. And it makes it to be stable rich is really important because the other vaccines which are what used bad what they are now and pfizer i dont think they can only be stored in minus 40 degree minus a unique resales was our next scene which is the N B X a pro its vaccine is actually very very stable and and can be transported in store. All my furniture at the temperatures 2 to 4 degrees centigrade so it is much much cheaper to produce this vaccine is compere through the m. R. I. In a vaccines by pfizer. And it is very very cheaply made because it can be taught in the same way that in france of earthquake scenes up. And use all of the room we can just in ocular a grenade a excellent story of how. Regular maintenance of her sex scenes are made we just enjoy and use our and the V H X p s train into x. And we can make millions and millions of doses very very low Cost Thing the fact that its for just an eggs will really surprise people because it does make a very different tone to what weve been hearing about the research so father as i mentioned before about the fact that this can actually be. I missed it through a nasal spray and whats the advantage of that. So so far the only talking about the u. S. Really so far in the United States the poor have vaccines against school with 19 but they are all injected theyre all inject that so they are not going to using a would require mucosal immunity when you many and mistake through the nose we knew was in the upper respiratory tract in their response to inflict 8 any only which is the main thing of the 1000. 00 virus to replicate so. You can use both platforms meaning you made one which gets injected and also the one which is used is a spray through the nose and we believe the really make a very good action in the as for joint direct again school with 19 it works beautifully in animals we have fantastic telling stories in amsterdam and in my eyes but obviously mice are not men am stars are not humans so we have to really find out how to use different Platforms Life through the nose or kill injected how that works out in people. Yes not that could take some time and when were looking at you know vaccine actually being administered to peoples noses so i was always told if a gel used to ask me how long it will take is. Not to answer that question however we are 105 pounds so its now out of. Reach you see and we are doing face one slash 2 trials in the past you made phrase one then you waited phrase 2 and we rated face 3 but because of the illusions you of course 19 many of us are doing freeze one slash 2 in parallel and in those 5 companies as i said hundreds of people have been. Made it in their face one slash rates 2 and we hope we get the state by June July of this year and then it really depends how much if of us being proving to be rich i was told that in that in brazil in about a 1000000 doses have been used some of it we believe that they face 2 in phase 3 could be done fairly rapidly but they gained relief and how fast these studies can be done these human trials can be executed and hands on to complete and simply will take some more time in the us because we are wholly of them with our f. D. A. Thank you very much Dr Peter for lazy joining us on the call 1000 special. Time to answer more of your questions now i have it to a Science Correspondent eric williams. The Astra Zeneca vaccine is around 70 percent effective is that really enough for it to be any good. Ive received several different versions of this questions so the issue is obviously one thats causing some confusion i think whats driving it is a similarity between 2 very different factors that are expressed as a similar percentage 70 percent the 1st of those factors is an epidemiological prediction that comes up a law its whats now considered to be kind of low ball estimate of the number of people needed to achieve what we call herd immunity that very theoretical moment when enough people are immune to covert 19 through vaccination or having had the disease to allow us to get on top of transmission that 70 percent however is different from the 2nd factor the roughly 70 Percent Effectiveness claimed by the Astra Zeneca vaccine that 70 percent basically tells you that if a large number of people receive the vaccine and an equally large number dont and then you wait a few months to see who comes down with symptomatic who had 19 more than 2 thirds of them will be from the unvaccinated group gauging effectiveness is as as you can see quite tricky because youre basically trying to put a number on how many vaccinated people didnt get infected but the Astra Zeneca vaccines 70 plus Percent Effectiveness is actually quite high compared to many other vaccines and will help us a lot and our attempts to reach that other 70 plus per. Goal when when herd immunity dynamics should begin kicking in. Derek williams just before we leave you to take your lympics are less than 3 months away and given the pandemic organizers are planning o. B. A very unusual games that actually just held a Marathon Rehearsal in the northern city of sapporo unusually people were told to stay away from the streets where the madison was passing by by people holding signs but there were a few scattered or markers who managed to make their way along the route and facemasks take you hopes the games could mark a Turning Point in the pandemic but the city is still under a state of emergency. And thats all from me and the team from order check out the Coronavirus Section at the 2 we dot called by. Where i come from we have to fight for a free press and was born and raised in a meeting with the State Or Shift with just one t. V. Shadow and if you are his favorites with official information as a journalist i have worked off the street for many cancers and their problems are always the same forward to social inequality a lack of the freedom of the Press And Corruption we can afford to stay silent when it comes to the fans of the humans and see them right through fools who have decided to put their trust in us.

The french revolution the battle of trafalgar and of course the bottle of Water Lee he springs to Mind Napoleon Bonaparte of course 200 years since the french military leaders untimely death in exile we take a look back at his controversial legacy and also coming up. As cultural life trickles back into the eternal city our reporter talks to romans who are setting their hopes on a swift return of the italian capitals preponderate. And still shining bright at 60 as George Clooney celebrates the big 600 you take it personally look back at the american Actors Career through the ariz of one of his collaborators. Welcome to arts and culture france is marking 200 years since the death of Napoleon Bonaparte the self declared former emperor who seized power during the french revolution has traditionally been celebrated for his military prowess and efforts to expand Frances Empire but in a modern Era Way europes colonial past is increasingly being dissected his legacy has taken on a new more sinister meaning many people are now rediscovering his more controversial initiatives such as the reintroduction of slavery after it was abolished frances youngest leader since napoleon is president and. Despite calls to boycott the anniversary the strong critic of todays socalled Council Culture is set to lay a wreath at the former and put it to me. And my colleague Adrian Kennedy joins me now adrian why is the way it is being celebrated quite so controversial. For many the ways that napoleon is worshipped as a national icon in france is that best on reflects its if not downright offensive now there are those who celebrate him as a military commander who built an empire in the Star Fish to morton central our state but for all those Fees War mongering tyrants who suppress the more. And reintroduce slavery now this new exhibition is called napoleon is no more its one of many. Any marking the Bison Team does it do if id finally done well this exhibition actually focuses on the way that napoleon sought to define his own legacy in his final years after being exiled to sink and then by the british this exile and the former Emperors Death far from his beloved france was depicted in many arts works and contributed to establishing him as a Martyr Figure even the english poet. Came to see him as something of a persecuted or romantic hero a flawed genius if you like and that image of napoleon has persisted hands of course its a great story and its been brought to the big screen a number of times 1st and foremost in 1927 this is. A classic french silent Movie Hollywood of course came home on the heels they had to go to. Napoleon was played by what steiger. This is the 970 Movie Waterloo so its all recently this was the predominant why the problem was depicted in popular culture swashbuckling Hero Adventurer who defined french glory if you like but now this image is being challenged right in the wake of vocal anti racism protests in from. The Podiums Reintroduction of slavery in 82 has become the subject of debate now descendants of slaves in that. Have been speaking out insisting that its not appropriate to celebrate napoleon saying that slave descendants to still today feel they have less resources that its difficult for them to seek success and that they are barred from certain things so its not just its authority. Its its has relevance to today ok but historians have also been going at it tooth and nail have a. Friend there from the Podium Foundation says its a shame that this has been brought up in the Anniversary Year hes saying this is part of the bad side of Council Culture but many to follow on from the. Slavery memorial foundation says its not rewriting or raising history its enriching history as you say it will lay a reef to commemorate snorts to celebrate the occasion and he will condemn slavery as an abomination in a speech like right very good adrian my colleague Adrian Kennedy thanks so much for that background thank you. Now one of the great capitals of European Art is of Course Rome if youve visited your now the city is packed with archaeological treasures and usually chock a block with tourists for every a year thats obviously not been the case but even the most famous cultural institutions have struggled to stay afloat with lockdowns now easing across italy they gradually reopening to visitors but how many will come. Sunday reports from the eternal city. Before the pandemic this square in front of the coliseum would be packed with visitors on peak days they would wait in line for up to 2 and a half hours to guide. Tells us now that archaeological sites have reopened she could be back in business if only there were visitors and many of the. Trouble. Mostly were. Getting. For the 2022 because we help. Them open the borders. We. Well the chase. But the numbers within the. Movie is that as before culture as well is taking Center Stage in the countrys reopening efforts like all the telly and cultural institutions that are out through the open i did all my has had a difficult here having to rely on streaming and a few outdoor events d. Sylvia a member of the Womens Choir is certain better times are coming. And we have great expectations we hope that this moment will mark the end of the dark times were living. Requires practicing for his 1st Performance coming up in front of a Life Audience with far fewer visitors allowed and singers having to keep distance from each other its not ideal but even having this opportunity means a lot. For it provided seeing again the public will be a great moment of great hope and a great choice for everyone to italy was hit hard during the pandemic and 14 months in people are experiencing fatigue the reopening is welcome by many but this calculated risk as italys prime Minister Mahathir rocky put it could have an forseeable consequences according to experts mostly ficci day its very difficult to take a calculated risk during an epidemic because at the very moment we realize the virus is reemerging its always too late that of the. Tourguide Ellen Andre only on the other hand would like to see a further easing of restrictions such as official guidelines on tourism that would make it easier for people from other regions of italy and even overseas to visit and connect with the citys rich heritage i want to go back to my job i want to actually show the people of the visitors that are coming to all these i want to may not all my camelot. For manuel would be waiting we love newco for wont. Everybody go to seeing everybody here pretty soon italys government is planning to further ease restrictions in the coming weeks how this will influence the pandemic only time will tell but for now these small steps are inspiring hope for the future. How indeed now it was a few years ago but do you remember Dr Dog roth t. V. s hottest Emergency Doctor well George Clooney certainly does because it was the award winning american act as Breakout Role hes gone on to Hollywood Domination acting in directing and producing dozens of films and even finding time to champion human rights causes now this Week Clooney celebrates his 60th birthday we got the lowdown on his highlights from one of his serial collaborators who goes off the bottom of the drawer rarely has a fictional Bank Robber been this charming. The 1st time he wrote. Great to smile or rather sweet only for you being held up. Very pretty smile and his smile turns 60 years old this week George Clooney Heartthrob Superstar and Hollywood Hero the Actor And Director has a well earned reputation for charming everyone he encounters. As seen in this german t. V. Interview from more than 20 years ago. Whined that they are the most important line cops. Most important things are my friends. Among those friends is a german Cinematographer Martino who who lives in berlin and Los Angeles he got his start shooting commercials and music videos which then led to jobs in Hollywood Drug should be someones going to learn but george and i met on the set of a film called the american Georges Someone who keeps working with the same people hes got a kind of Work Family around him he doesnt put on airs he doesnt lose his temper im sad and hes friendly to his crew and he has a lot of respect for the artists he works with conservative. You could. See. Charm and vulnerability are among the qualities that make clooney as hitman in the american so interesting who is camera captured clooney is dramatic and elegant portrayal after that shoot in italy the 2 met up again there in 2018 for the mini Series Catch 22. 00 an adaptation of the satirical antiwar novel set on a u. S. Military base in the mediterranean during World War 2 clooney directed 2 episodes and played a neurotic major. Fault. With their film collaborations even took Martina Wood to the arctic for the Midnight Sky the postapocalyptic Science Fiction Adventure was visually lavish as both Director And Lead Actor Clooney showed his typical lack of vanity relying completely on his team. Its good to my question sometimes there are actors who say dont shoot me from there place the light over there george has never done that with Midnight Sky at some point i said if we do it like that with you live from below you look older and he said yes thats the right thing for the character he was playing a dying old man and it didnt bother him that he looked like one who does this also also. Clearly has a long used his celebrity to draw attention to. Political issues even before marrying human Rights Lawyer Amal Clooney but hes also known for not taking himself too seriously as shown when he accepted a best Actor Oscar for his role as a Cia Agent in syriana possibly George Clooney. Sexiest man alive 9072. 00 time super time sexiest man alive but even they get older but George Clooney seems to have a relaxed attitude towards aging maybe because he didnt become a star until his thirtys now entering his sixtys hes settling into character roles and working as Director And Producer which all offer the prospect of a long career to come.
