Whether authorities have to treat them. And maybe increase them as well in the next few days. There are Big Questions as to whether this is being effective in particular, because germany continues to record very high numbers of new cases over 20000, for example, in the last 24 hours. And that is something that is obviously concerning for thors at the same time. There is a big concern among german hospitals. Many saying that the situation is even worse now than what it was in april, for example, during the 1st wave of the pandemic. So yes, there may be some positive signs, but the situation remains very serious and thats something the German Authorities have been very clear when they talk to the president of these kinds of things. Christmas is only 6 weeks away and no government wants to go down in history as the one that canceled it, untold millions of people. They can go home and see their families. So tougher measures on the cards. I very much doubt that they will console christmas, but German Authorities have indeed indicated that most probably restrictions will be there. Now its a big question whether a partial lockdown will be there. But restrictions might be there a government commission, for example, a few weeks ago actually suggested people here in germany should celebrate christmas in shifts. So more than once and with fewer people, i dont know if germans will actually follow that suggestion. But German Authorities are of the thinking now specifically, what can be done in the next few weeks when the christmas celebrations actually start. And what has to be done to make sure that people in some way or another can celebrate while at the same time, maintaining the necessary precautions were told. And thank you for that. Thomas is far france is also fighting to control a 2nd wave of this pandemic with the highly highest davey infection figures in europe. Despite this, the Current French lockdown is less strict than during the 1st wave. The governments trying to strike the right balance between protecting health and protect your economy. But not everyone is happy about this approach. W. s at least lewis reports from paris. Even under lockdown, the french are taking to the streets as opposed to doing the 1st 1000 wave schools here are staying open, but teachers dont feel safe. We have between 20 and 25 pupils per class. We are trying to impose social distancing. But in our classrooms, we can, it may have a distance of 40 centimeters between each pupil. Not just among simmers. You see we were hoping the government would reinforce sanitary measures, but they havent already least not sufficiently. So we dont understand that. We fear the government is abandoning us only to lash out. They are getting support from their pupils who have been blocking School Entrances and posting videos online that show a lack of social distancing. Also unlike during the 1st covert, 1000 ways, more shops open, and large parts of frances industry are still up and running. And yet, this is still one of europes strictest. Lockdowns with people only allowed out one hour a day and only within a radius of one kilometer of their homes. Most french think the government was right to confine them. But many criticize the method. I dont understand why big supermarkets are no longer allowed to sell books, clothes or toys, just because small shops that sell the same things. I closed. The government is just not good at explaining itself. But seriously, going to meet this will cause lots of unemployment and bankruptcy. Why are they leaving big supermarkets open up about closing smaller shops . Megastores often take in hundreds of clients and small shops, only one on t. V. Theyre much safer. And yet the government is staying the course, even though the spread of the epidemic has been slowing down. Takes a new and we are seeing 1st indications that the measures are producing an effect. But it is too early to lift restrictions. The situation is still very grave and the epidemic is continuing to gain ground. Continue to gain new day on the number of people in intensive care. Still going up with more than 93 percent of now required by code with 19 patients. The government says hospital could reach the breaking point from prime next week. And many people here are now they might have to spend christmas on lockdown. Orsen, we bring some breaking news now at least 74. 00 migrants are believed to have drowned after their ship bound for europe capsized off the coast of libya. The u. N. Migration agency says the incident in the port of coombes is the latest in a series of tragedies involving at least 8 ship wrecks in the central mediterranean. Since last month, this vessel was carrying more than 100 people, more than 40 have been rescued and brought to shore by fishermen and the libyan coast guard. Does he want bodies have been retrieved . The search for others continues. And here are some more of the stories making headlines around the world. Police in angola have fired live ammunition and tear gas of young people demonstrating against poor Living Conditions in the capital. One, several people were arrested in this latest crackdown on a surge of band of protests against rising living costs, unemployment, and state corruption. Russia says it will impose retaliates reese actions against german and french officials over the nerve agent poisoning of opposition. Figure alexei novelli. A.

During his time as Vice President in Barack Obamas 1st during the years of the trump presidency, millions of americans have become followers of a right wing Conspiracy Theory known as q a known for the most received information in the form of clues dropped by an anonymous person. Known as q, who says hate, or indeed she worked within the trumpet ministration. You has been spreading the idea that President Trump has a plan to take down the democrats and win the election. But now after a final post on election day, q. Has gone silent. Well they dont, the reporter on the soccer is here with the welcome up. So remind us what or who she went on is so at the core, this is a Conspiracy Theory is a belief that there is a cabal of liberal elites who control the world. Democrats, republicans, people from hollywood, and from the media. They also satan worship, and they run a global child sex trafficking ring. The obamas are supposed to be part of it. The clintons, george w. Bush. Oprah winfrey trump is a central figure. She is supposed to have a plan to bring this couple down. Of course, these are baseless theories. They are considered dangerous. The f. B. I. Says theyre potential domestic terror threats. But still, there is a lot of belief in this 45 percent of americans that is millions of people believe in parts of this theory. And that isnt enough to sway an election in many states when just how many of these people would have time. What does President Trump election defeat mean then for the security of believe us, if we look at the 1st world, so q. Has now stopped posting on online. And if we look at some of the messages that people have been posting, you know, follow is a split, some of lost faith. Others are uneasy about the future and some saying, trust, trust the plan, of course, the fact that trump has lost is it really undermines the idea that hes waging a war against the deep state. But others say that the fact that he has yet to concede, defeat means that he is still on the in control. Now earlier today we spoke to mike michel, hes an American History professor at the chip university here in germany. He told us a little bit about the future of this moment because i was, hugh, was telling people, we know that theres a Conspiracy Theory, a conspiracy going on, and were already fighting against it. So he was only giving people clues as to when the a vegetable victory would occur when people like hillary would go to jail. It will be interesting, however, to see how q positions himself after the election, if he breaks his radio silence at some point, really claim to still be an insider as a kind of mole inside of the Biden White House and a wrist ration. Or will he claimed that he was kicked out as well . It is now fighting the conspiracy by other means. And where is President Trump in overseas always maintained that he knows little or nothing about cuba. Right. I mean, hes been asked many times. He always says, he never really has a straight answer, but he might not mean its too much for the, for this in a movement in the future, there are now 2 Congress Women in the u. S. House of representatives who are said to be believers in this theory. One from georgia and one from colorado. So even if we have heard the last word from q. And even if trump no longer is president , come january, this group might have their own right. Thank you. Time to remind you of our top story, this hour German Health officials are warning that corona virus infections could spread uncontrollably in some parts of the country.

Climate change, Different Office stores. Places much less leeway from just one week. How much one can really get we still have time to ask. Im going to subscribe to over 30000000, people have contract a covert and recovered. Believed to have Natural Immunity. That typically offers better protection than a back seen. But the price is higher with so many unknown long term effects. Vaccines may not be quite as effective, but theyre also not as dangerous. Not only not influenza. And i was very well one evening, some compare it to a hangover. Human trials of several vaccines now show positive results, but that doesnt mean life will go back to normal just yet. Here in an old peoples home in italy, the vulnerable can once again get close to their loved ones. But in a different way. By making progress, the Serum Institute of india, the Worlds Largest vaccine producer, says its made 14000000 doses of astra zeneca is potential corona vaccine. Its a bold, 600 participants for late stage trials. And soon it will be making novaks rival short as both seek Regulatory Approval and he has vaccine is big service has always been important enough from donating blood since a young age to holding treatment, patient grapes. He was disappointed when he couldnt join the indian army to serve the country. But then another opportunity in his north indian finito on the route that came along, he volunteered for the Clinical Trials of overacts and a covered vaccine been developed in india. People told me it was risky, but for me it was an opportunity to be of service. Im happy to dedicate my bodies, my country, my fellow country men. Whenever i needed it was this enthusiasm to wall until for the covert vaccine trials that stood out for dr. Summit that i had known in previous Clinical Trials talked about mark has led it to much more convincing to find volunteers for this one, she had hundreds calling in within days. So many people came forward because they wanted to do a greater good. And a coffee is one only within 34 days weve had to have people in with us. Im just isnt just individuals in india who are trying to play their part to help deal with dishpan demick. 1400 kilometers away to western city of 20 is home to the Worlds Largest back seemed to do so. The settlements due to india produces over one point 5000000000. 00 vaccine dollars every year for use in 1000. 00 the countries. Now, it is poised to play a crucial role in the global bid for the corona about dyslexia. Already, this facility is producing 30000000. 00 doses all fuel for vaccine every month. It is said to stop by and she 100000000. 00 do this by the end of the u. We rejigged our capacities, sacrificed a lot of products that we were going to launch in europe us. And thats why we were able to have that much Spare Capacity available for making these for 5 different covert vaccines. And only at a low cost of a few 100. 00 rupees, roughly 45. 00 euros. With the help of the gifts foundation, the institute is investing to provide vaccines to over 91000000 combine trees at an affordable cost. For other back seats at different stages of trials are also being produced. None of these have been a food yet. But the companys c. E. O. Their point of allah is confident that starting production with the support of the Indian Government is the day if and when the vaccine is licensed, we have a lot of product that we can distribute. Of course, its a risk of the product for whatever reason fails of the last minute, which now let me say looks very unlikely. Now things are looking far better, at least for the Oxford Astra Zeneca vaccine. We have all expects emergency approvals for the oxford vaccine to come through early next year, back and drop that need to still be going in for follow the tests next year that check how well he is doing with the back and not be alone by his father was at 1st voted for the safety of his son. He has now been swayed by love, needs enthusiasm about him. The sweet who is now of vaccine trial volunteer as well. And proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with his son. In what he sees as a service to the country and to the world. While scientists continue to work on a coronavirus vaccine, lets talk to life about facts versus Natural Immunity. So whats better getting infected, recovering or becoming immune or an actual vaccine when it comes to covered . Well, at this point, its hard to tell because we dont actually understand exactly how long lasting whole long lived Natural Immunity is after the 2 infection. So far, the data indicate that antibody responses are quite durable, at least over the course of 5 to 6 months. But we dont, dont know how long that will last. What we do know is that from, and any coronaviruses other coronaviruses that cause the common cold, that the immunity is not that long, that you can get reinfected after in one or 2 years. And the hope is that with the vaccine and used immunity, that they will be able to produce a more long and more robust immunity. The natural intention does because for some other diseases, the vaccine actually does enjoy a better immune response than the natural infection. And then vice versa with others like measles. Exactly. So there are examples from both. There are some examples where natural infection induces a much more robust and long lived immunity. Then vaccines have been able to do. And other examples of extremes are better than the natural infection. And then often as do with the pathogen or the virus that causes the infection. If that virus has the, capability to escape the immune system, as in the case of a child, b. , or certain herpesviruses, the viruses are able to hide from the immune system. And the hope is that you can create a vaccine that is able to bypass this property of the, of the virus to hot and, and this way and use a more robust and more long lived in unity. Theres also, there are many unknowns as far as the long term effects of covert go. I mean for young and old blood clots, heart damage, Chronic Fatigue, memory loss, fertility issues, seizures, temporary paralysis, increased risk of poc and since old son. Is there any added it . Any others that youd like to add to the list . No, definitely. There will be long term consequences of 19. At this point, it is still too early to tell the whole frequent they will be and how long these. And these consequences and long term effects will be what we do see is that theres quite a substantial proportion of people that suffer from fatigue and Chronic Fatigue syndrome. That is a very severe condition that basically dissent leaves, patients unable to or unable to go about their normal lives for several months. Then there is other effects such as off the respiratory system. You see people that severely compromised for several months after the infection. And of course we have these neurological effects that you mentioned. So in addition to the quite high mortality and the strain on the healthcare system, we have to take into account those long term effects. And that makes it more important even to have the fact of that scene. And what do you expect an effective vaccine against to be able to do so studies that are currently being carried out. And also the 1st study where results have been reported have been designed in power to show every public to infection symptomatic infection. What i would hope, which is a secondary endpoint of many of the studies. But i would hope, and i also think that they will be able to do is to reduce the frequency offs of the equipment, which means to reduce the frequency of failure. Of people have to be into it and treated in the i. C. U. And also to reduce mortality from berlin shot at a hospital life effects on the thank you very much. Finally, your questions is our science correspondent, derrick williams, by on tack. And pfizer have developed a vaccine to prevent covert 19, are there pharmaceutical companies also working on therapies to cure patients who already have it . Has wheels eyes or have developed a vaccine to prevent covert 19, are there pharmaceutical companies also working on therapies to cure patients who already have it . As well celebrate very promising interim vaccine candidate results and look forward to possible breakthroughs with others soon. Its kind of easy to ignore the elephant in the room, which is that covert 19 is going to make this winter in the Northern Hemisphere long, hard and likely very grim, even in a Perfect World with a vaccine approved by the end of november. It will take many more months if not years to distribute it. And although doctors have gotten better at treating patients, thereby improving survival rates, we still dont have really effective drugs to treat those who become ill or who become very ill. In fact, a major disputed preprint Study Released by the w. H. O. Last month. More or less said that most of whats in our medicine cabinet now, that can be produced at a large scale, basically doesnt really work. So why dont we have more compounds to help people who have the disease and are in dire straits . Well, for a couple of reasons. In some ways, developing tailored treatments is a trickier process than developing a vaccine. Because vaccines all do the same thing, they stimulate the immune system to fight off an invader, so we can judge end points pretty clearly. Can it do that safely and can it do it effectively . Months usually have incremental of facts and can affect the disease process in a lot of different ways, which is why in the search for therapies we focused on what are called repurposed drugs, treatments that we already have that work for other diseases. And most importantly, that have already proven safe to take because it all had to go fast, right . So, so yes, thousands of drugs have been screened or are in repurchasing studies and some are promising. But as, as we approach a year of covert 19, we still dont have therapies that can knock it out effectively. House to drama competitions. Wyvil marketing numbers here. Our fight at sac intuition.
