Should russias done deal. No good if wins the season ending a. T. P. Finals as a new generation of stars stamped their mark on mens tents. And got our 1st welcome to the program drugmaker astra zeneca and the university of oxford in the u. K. Say that corona virus vaccine could be 90 percent effective in preventing covert 19 researchers say the vaccine was most effective when patients were for 1st given a half dose followed by a full dose, one months later, crucially, the new job can be kept at refrigerated temperatures and does not require extreme cold storage like other recently announced plans. Its us was in a crisis of will have 200000000 doses available by the end of this year. For more on this, im now joined by Mohamed Munoz volage islam vaccine expert at Lancaster University in the u. K. So another vaccine that can be 90 percent effective against covert 19. But Developers Say that read that great effect of this requires on the usual dozing to achieve why is that so yeah, well thank you very much for having me on the show. I think this is certainly a great he was on his own. One of the reason that astra zeneca vaccine is different from modern and that is that its based on a vector, a vaccine. So basically the chimpanzee, i dont know, what is it, but Common Ground that is loaded with one of the spy protein of the corner wires and monitors injected into the body body, sense that and produce the antibodies as abilities the responses, both are them, are critical to protect the person from infection. So one thing that is really critical here is that the dozing regime is a little different because our in most part of the board, we have it on 7 to 10 percent. People already having antibodies against it. I dont know what is so out of the sides. Reason for different building for g. M. Has not been yet revealed. But this is one of the likely cause, or because of the factor we would probably have a little different, i mean, responses this vaccine than with them. I dont know. There are several vaccines at the moment in the pipeline. What defines us as this one have over the others . Is also as i think of that scene, us a little and want to do is one of the major advantages. Really the story got to toss british and i mean, it cant be just stored and transported at the back to be directed to the greater to do it celsius 36. 00 to 48. 00 for a night, which is really very common temperature that is meant 8 in pharmacies and also little uncertainties and in the g. P. Practices and other 2 wanted years that they last was anything has pledged a non profit distribution of the vaccine between the cost will be significantly low. And at last, as i need to uniquely has 20. 00 different partners in the war that are working on to the scale ability on to the manufacturing and crowds and assessment, which is really a big advantage given the unprecedented need. We are in having the moment and last year i would like to highlight that also as an ego and oxford a vaccine is also part of callbacks, which is a initiative by the savvy and the blue actual to really make the Vaccines Available for low and middle income countries, so i think this is certainly a plus that we all live in saying our lesson that everybody is not safe. Nobody is safe. How quickly can be rolled out using the data has only that the data that is because entered now today morning is really the in team. So we have to wait for the full data to become available and that would be presented to the regulatory bodies. Here is called how much are they . And once that is up to, i think the anticipation is by mid december. We will have the a cool and probably rolling out into the Frontline Health workers and also get a home which is now the priority in the u. K. When im going to finance university in the u. K. Thank you very much for this input. Later. Germany is also up to mystic about its timeline for corona virus, vaccinations. The countrys Health Minister now says Isolation Centers could be ready in mid december and stressed the importance of dealing with multiple vaccine developers. Meanwhile, the government is in discussions about how to stop the virus from spreading further of the upcoming holiday period. A glimmer of hope in germany defrost coronavirus vaccinations could take place within weeks. Suki simply want to quickly begin to offer vaccinations as soon as a vaccine is available. Unless theres a reason to believe that we can start at the latest at the beginning of next year. Maybe already at the end of this year. And it is in the racks in a shows will be rolled out in 2 stages starting was vulnerable. People the need is urgent. The latest partial lockdown has failed to cut infections by the way, tathata the lies to the daily rate. We have not yet managed to bring the numbers factual lower level. We have basically only managed to get past a fresh step so far. Studies to stop the exponential increase of infections and we are no stable, but our numbers are still is very, very high. Fight fight. Patience is wearing thin, leading to end to low down protests and fears the far right is instrumental izing tensions. But many of germanys 16 federal states are doubling down, saying the partial lockdown must be extended and intensified with tighter curbs on gatherings.

Joshua was ivan lamb, an activist, due to be sentenced next week and could face up to 5 years in prison. When they arrived knowing it could be their last moments of freedom, they would not freeze, uprising there and said to me, they need haitian today. Proved correct. This prison vehicle a school. Its hong kong to baucus, the activist, joshua wong, magnus child, and i have been led into custody after they face trial over very role in massive prodemocracy protests in 2019. Perhaps the op, wrote this, wish me to stay in place, but im persuaded that neither person both know election baez nor any other arbitrary power or stop us from activists on the 3 were charged with all the nies ing and taking part in an authorised assembly. Which carries a maximum sentence of 5 years. They decided to plead guilty after consulting with their lawyers, knowingly accepting jail time, hoping to draw global attention to what they say is a Justice System manipulated by beijing. China denies this insinuation but says it supports the hong kong Justice System is not a diplomatic issue. We support the relevant departments of the Hong Kong Government to perform its duties in accordance with the law. But after pleading guilty to the charges, told supporters he would not tell it to beijing or surrender, saying he wanted to demonstrate the value of freedom to the world. And im now joined by would you know if shes the founder and the leader of the probe, ageing new Peoples Party, mrs. Of what sentence do you think would be appropriate for joshua warne and his codefendants. They have pleaded guilty to a public order overhead says under the public order ordinance, these 0 fences carry mixi mom, jail sentence all not more than 5 years. I dont think they will get the maximum. It really depends on the judge. Its not for me to say what is appropriate under outcome and law system which is inherently lenient. I think the judge would take into account their age, their track record, maybe probation officers records and or that. But do you think that would be a jail term for organizing . A protest is a bit harsh. Its in our laws, you know, we have to apply the same laws to everybody under the common law system. No one is above the law. Everyone is subject to the same set of laws and minister by the same system. I dont think they should. They should be any exception, just because they call themselves Freedom Fighters. I think they call themselves Freedom Fighters just trying to establish democracy, democratic rules that you didnt support the crackdown on the prodemocracy Movement Last summer. Why last summer, what happened was not a crackdown on prodemocracy movement. The protests against a controversial piece of legislation turn soon turned violent. It became very filings. There were attacks on police headquarters, siege of universities pouring, setting innocent bystander on fire, killing a cleanup with a piece of break. It was very violent, but who in signs of this violence was, it wasnt really the demonstrators who incited this violence up the, the person was set on fire by one of the, the activists or one of the supporters of the activism activist movement. You know, no one is above the law, you know, they are free to promote democracy, but they cannot put themselves above the law. They should do it within the limits of our legal regime. And what the prodemocracy movement is demanding really fundamental rights and freedom of speech, freedom of the press and the rule of law. Whats wrong with us . One of these rights so well, who checked out under our basic law and rights . All apparently not. If you look at these faces facing charges and facing jail term now for just overnight as a protest in front of a police station. Oh, the same law applies to everybody for wed whatever course, whether its democracy, advocates see or any more welfare week. They cannot put themselves above the law just because they claim to be fighting for democracy or human rights. Where do you put you report the fight for human rights on the same level as Animal Welfare . I think that sort of that doesnt really work. Does it . Well, oh people stay just them or stations for all sorts of courses. And vironment ople texan, any more welfare equal opportunity. You know, everyone can have a say. But a lot of it clear you have to give notice to the police. You can only hope to read a notice of no objection. This is a racial and thats no different from arrangements government governing public demonstrations all over the world. Youve always supported the one country 2 systems rule. Do you think that is dead now . Only a fantasy far from it, it is a life. And well, there are in fact ive been talking to a lot of hong kong residents, including western us who are very pleased that after the and neck one of the National Security law. Also psyche have reaped to normal. People are now free to express their opinion without fear of being beaten up or set on fire. Well, if you see them as it looks now, it looks like people are not free to express their opinion. If its an opinion that goes against the dictatorship in beijing. Do you think that this sort of appeasement, that you, that you do towards beijing, that it will keep home kong me . Free. I think you need to be offended at affects. Says he, and then one of the National Security laws so far, only 2 people have been charged, you know, and they will be dealt with under a common law system going through our ecosystem. It will be a long drawn out process. Their rights will be fully protected. One, not that the offender applied for haiti, a scopus that was dealt with in accordance with the normal process. There is no some, no blanket suppression of rights and freedoms. You know, thats simply not the situation in hong kong. On the other hand, many of us are very pleased that our so sarti has returned to or a more peaceful and almost Asian Affairs so that we can get on with our business. Thank you very much for, you know, if the founder and leader of the new Peoples Party in hong kong for sharing your views here wanted obvious to france now where the government has proposed a sweeping new security bill following a series of reasons. Terror attacks, among other things, the new law would make it a criminal offense to publish images of Police Officers with intent to cause them harm. That sparked quite an outcry among journalists, unions and free speech come this summer. Funny car reports from paris, french documentary, the monopoly of violence is a hard hitting examination of Police Brutality in fronts released earlier this year. The film focuses on the yellow, their spotters, as well as allegations of police abuse in the suburbs. Filmmaker david differend related footage, provided by journalists as well as ordinary citizens, posting on social media. But making a film like this may not be possible in future with the french government proposing a new security law. Part of which cracks down on the broadcast and sharing of images of Police Officers. Differences, the law erodes basic freedoms and puts france on a slippery slope. Signals, Police Violence has existed in france for decades, especially in the suburbs. Today its well documented. Its filmed. Social media allows for the easy broadcasting of these videos. What lawmakers want to do is stop the circulation of these images, and at that point, youre not in a democracy anymore. Only if we wanted democracy, the French Parliament has been debating the controversial law. One of its provisions, stipe, relates to jail time and a fine of more than 50000. 00 for anyone broadcasting or sharing identifiable images of Police Officers with the intention of harming them. Its a large demonstrations here in paris as well as in several other french cities. Journalist unions and Rights Groups are up in arms saying that recording officers in action is essential to being able to condemn the actions of island offices. Many believe the law which applies to both journalists and citizens will lead to a sense of impunity, of police at demonstrations that often turn violent. I know friends who are really scared to go to demonstrations because of the violence, the rubber bullets and the tear gas used by police. And the one thing that protects us is taking a video of you. The law wants to protect Police Officers so that they can hit people without consequences. Journalists or journalists have been hit and injured by police, especially in the last couple of years. And until now, the Police Version of events could be question thanks to images and videos. Campaigners here fear that the new security law could have a Chilling Effect on press freedom. They say that its citizens and journalists are dissuaded from filming the police. It may make it harder to hold certain officers to account. The french government, however, says the law is necessary to protect Police Officers in the line of duty. The countrys Largest Police union, which has been pushing for the law agrees with the government, darted olivier revathi says indiscriminate posting of images of officers, especially on social media, has led to a dangerous backlash. Today several of our colleagues of victims of paris mint they or their families are threatened in certain low income neighborhoods, even find walls with the names of Police Officers saying that their daughter or their wife would be raped. Its completely unacceptable. The new law can protect and put a stop to this recent terror attacks and growing unrest. The protests have prompted the french government to take a harder line on security. But the proposed law is only expected to deepen divisions and fan further mistrust between the police and the public is joining us now from paris, sana, why is this law being proposed right now . Well, i think the current actions in france certainly plays a role, you know, the recent terror attacks drawing on risk demonstrations. All that is certainly part of the government take a tougher line on security. But there are also computers, you know, who say, you know, domestic politics also plays a role. They say, you know, kristen much was took the stance that security is an attempt to appeal to voters of the right ahead of the next president ial election. Which takes place less than a year and a half away. But i think more broadly, the french government has defended this bill and said that, you know, restrictions, images of Police Officers are necessary in order to protect officers of the when is the families from the targeted in online campaigns . Well, just to make this clear, this bill would make it a crime to circulate an image off a Police Officer with the intention that they be high. But who decides if the intention was to harm someone . Well again, or that that is exactly the problem, you know, Rights Groups here, and that includes prances or human rights watchdog has said that this particular clause in the bill article 24 that you mention, this is very, very problematic because its big. Its open to interpretation and very difficult to prove because the question is really, how courts will determine whether, you know, images will stick with the intent to cause harm. So i think this is problematic, and there are fears that this could be, you know, open to abuse, and ultimately this need make it harder for journalists to cover up artists and demonstrations, but to leak, you know, i mean, this is not only about journalists, you know, the big applies to citizens too, and there are experts here in france will say that, you know, did you or did she just very often film by passers by and post it on social media . What it means for the media. Also, it has also led in the past 2 to cases of Police Brutality to the fore. And there are concerns here that this may not be possible anymore once the new laws parts. But peas are scheduled to vote on this bill as a whole. On tuesday it will then go to the senate thats front up a House Committee expect will it pass when you dont. Last week we saw a very heated debate in the french farming daughters been there were lawmakers were divided on it, especially a peaceful, you know, liftons interest parties were really concerned about the impact of this particular clause on press freedom. But that article was eventually approved after the statement was added, that it would get, you know, kind of the right to inform. But i think all this is not really enough to, to ease the concerns of kapinos here. And i think we are likely to see, you know, for the protests against this proposed legislation in paris as well as another french cities. They dont use old son of funny reporting from paris. Thank you. So on sports whos now in tennis, danio has won the a. T. P. Finals in london after coming from behind to win a gripping match against u. S. Open champion, dominic team russian followed up his victory earlier this month at the Paris Masters to take the biggest title of his career dominic teams been here before and beaten finalist at this tournament last year. Deal medvedev though, didnt even get that far off. Failing to win a single match and going out in the group stage was a difference a year makes for him. Team started this years final strongly taking the 1st set, albeit in a somewhat fortunately fashion made for that because half see the funny sight. He got his revenge in the 2nd set reeling off 7 straight points to win. The type break team now struggling to keep up. The russian is a tricky opponent. Adapting and mixing up his game to suit the occasion. A barrier at the nets and a formidable foe. He held on to win the deciding set out of the title. This is probably my best week to real my life. Not even talking about the title itself. I mean to win the masters being on this unit. I mean, honestly, i would even, i know i can play good, but i would not believe it if you would tell me this before the tournament. This is the new generation of stars in mens tennis battle for supremacy it to be made today of heading into next season. As the pretend to this thread of germanys football boom is legal in somebodys mind specked up their 1st win of the season with a 31 victory over fellow strugglers, 5 books, french strike zone. Felipe, not its i was the hero for the away side scoring all 3 of their goals. Yeah, and maurits lifters struggling mines, arrived in freiburg, looking for a change in fortunes. Much would depend on the form of join felipe back tater. The strikers 4 goals in 7 games, the only bright spot in a terrible start to the campaign. And meditate to show his worth with less than 2 minutes on the clock. The frenchman charging clear before slotting home, cooley, one nil to the visitors, potato was on hand again to make it 2 nil in a 34 minutes by tribal keeper, florian muller, making it far too easy for the frenchman. Lets say to completed a stunning 1st half hat trick 5 minutes later, the titanfall causing no problems for the red hot 23 year old trouble got one back in the 2nd half prevention strike. And neils pietersen the 4th and final goal scored at the busy end of the pitch 31. 00 extended 3 goals from a tater and a valuable 3 points for minds. News, heres a reminder of the top story were following for you. Drug maker, astra zeneca says late stage trials show its new vaccine is highly effective against the north novel coronavirus. The team said the vaccine offered a 70 to 90 percent protection. It comes a week after the 2 other drug makers reported that their covert 19 vaccines. Bunty 5 percent effective thats it from me in the new scene from eco india with a look at how rising sea levels are threatening peoples livelihoods. Thats coming up next. More headlines for me at the top of the hour. In the meantime, theres always a website, business culture, in search of languages to dub you to a school india to misery. In trying to devastating damage destroyed the famous lever villages. The survivors started creating dollars from damage clause giving up was never an option. A story of success on the d. W. P. Board. And you hear me now . Yes. Yes, we got near you and i last years german chancellor will bring you an angle. Our mascot here on the telephone surprised himself with what is possible. Who is magical . What moves sat and talked to people who follows her along the way. I admire and critics alike now as the worlds most powerful woman shaping how they can join us from whats the secret behind this classic music . Soon as you hear beethoven lose your mind or the story behind the music for the ages reduced last nights sleep before the world starts to simmer down on w. This melting glacier may be thousands of kilometers away from you. But it could have a Significant Impact on your life. Rises insane levels, rising sea levels, rising sea levels, sea level is rising. Take mumbai, for example. This red area shows the parts of the city that could be underwater by 2050. And that applies to coastal cities all over the world. Sea levels could rise by several meters. But there are still ways to prevent this. Scenario. Indigenous fishermen in mumbai are trying to save the natural bastions talkie to protecting the city. Artisan fisherman come laugher, is keeping up the tradition of the code in mumbai. Its 1st inhabitants. They have lived off the seas, bounty for generations. Mumbais ghost is partly covered by mangrove forests, which used to protect the citys inhabitants. Today did the great issue of these mangroves both as a threat to the coolies livelihood without them. Coastal erosion would both been leading to savior flooding. Come lucker fall out is but it about the future of the place. He calls home his staff just steadily decreasing. A clear sign that the mangroves are not doing well. The edges and the mangroves get good down indiscriminately. You see garbage everywhere. Even industrial plants release their chemicals here. A boat getting oil one sank and polluted the water. So many fish have died. And the ones that remain gone breed fast enough to bring royal family situated between the ocean and the landmass. Mangroves reduce the intensity of crashing waves by acting as a buffer. They also act as sponsors by soaking up excess water to prevent inland flooding. And by releasing die, any droplets into the air to regulate the citys temperature. To prevent further degradation, some fishermen have taken action, started a Grassroots Movement with neighborhood fisherman. They want to save and protect more than 1000. 00, hectares of lush mangrove cover surrounding his village. In mumbais northeastern corner, the one in our action on our own, we stop any kind of encouragement. Thank fisherman. From the Community Organizations out and clean the incessant flow of solid based on a daily basis. They know that their livelihood is in jeopardy. Many fish species available in abundance in the past have disappeared from these waters local fisherman, constant vigil and allowed the organization if they notice illegal encroachments, or for change. Often, members of the Village Community are part of the problem. Give us the also organize of their mysteries ing initiatives in the local community to help families understand the importance of mangroves to their lives. Many are not aware that pollution is destroying mumbais, mangroves about 40 percent have invited out over the last few decades. And thats not all say, and by mentalists in legal constructions which happen, people repair their houses, demolished walls structures, reconstruction, their bridges come in and out of their being is that the government themselves are one of the biggest threats to mangle because they have set up your mongols dumping grounds in the greeks of pani, inserted among grows inside, dense mangroves, and the leach it from there is going into the mangoes and, and degrading the system. If you refuse to be a please, or where you could come for fresh. Now you can barely stand there because of the nature which is coming out of these. Dumping grounds into the creek. More than 100 cases of mangrove destruction were reported in mumbai in 2018, both on government and private land. The mangroves none to kamar and his community project, a part of the ecosystem that occupies only 0 point one percent of the earths surface. And thats how scouse they are. The state of maharashtra, which mumbai is a part of, is the only state in india to have whats called a man groups dedicated to their conservation. The sale relies on participate re projects like the ngos, she read. I petition to save the citys mangrove. The contribution of fishing village mysie minuscule today, but its thanks to the initiative our fishing communities like this one that the rest of the city may now stand a chance against rising sea levels in years to come. Water is not only a threat, it is also an essential element in our lives. For centuries, cities have been built close to water sources. Citizens have access to enough, but vast growth in urbanization is having an unforeseen effect on the foundations of the cities themselves. Where will you be when your city sinks . And what does that have to do with drinking a glass of water . To mexico city, calcutta, miami, hundreds of millions of people have been drowning 50, some of which could be wiped off the map in a lifetime. People are fighting harder than ever to stay afloat right now. How those people the carbon dioxide, where everything is coming up in the last 25 years, all the thermal Energy Heating the oceans as up to as much as 3600000000, atom bombs, thats melted ice rates, sea levels, and made extreme weather even more extreme in just a few decades storms and floods but used it once a century, many coastal cities, everything. But climate change. If any hot story. d d d in spurling megacities from jakarta to lagos, the bigger problem is that the land itself is literally sinking in some of the land of fighting 10 times faster than the number of the right thinking combined, the sea level race. Me was a real interest because a few cities, if we are not good for a would be wiped out of the me. This is because were very directed rivers and built cities on soft soil. The ground of them just solid. Theres also water and have been a theory, but people across the world have dug deep wells and pumped up the groundwater. Less water means less pressure pushing up on the land above it. So the, so its got squashed. And the cities think this is how much for major asian cities are falling by each year. It may not look like a lot. It quickly adds up over the last century, bangkok has sunk by more than one meter. Shanghai by more than 2 meters. By more than 3 meters and eastern tokyo by more than 4 meters, parts of california have dropped by the height of the house. The indonesian capital jakarta has it the worst. Imagine a baby born today by the kind of childhood. We think high a coastal area of the city will be under water. Why is the carter thinking so . Well, indonesias groundwater problems are worse than most like the car in bangladesh to cart of river the full of plastic and weights. Our government can only produce 60 percent of the supply of what we got by doing so 58 percent of people still relate undergird. What add to that. The fact that you cannot assert some swampland is home to 13 rivers and is among the most densely populated cities in the world. But isnt alert. Calcutta is also sinking, even if its just a few millimeters each year. To cause massive extraction of groundwater in parts of the city, almost a quarter of the water used by calcutta residents comes from the ground. And the way the law groundwater act you know, i do it. Yeah. Yeah. He thought, if we cannot stop the end, why do you want that . The consequences are already visible in some parts of the city thats still tiny fishes. But scientists believe that if allowed to develop, the result could be devastating. The process is in full swing just a few months ago. The ground gave way violently during construction work on a metro. You cannot go that day and its a day begin and being badly, etc, is for the lever that was in going to be as that which is impossible. How much worse can it really get . Honestly, along the major study last year found that scientists have wildly underestimate the number of people exposed to flooding. Climate central scientists estimate 3 times as many people at risk of coastal flooding than we thought many live on the same river deltas that are rapidly subsiding. Now the study didnt come for Coastal Defense of like sea wont bums or levees. So its not like the citys ado, but it shows theres less room for them to for all this catastrophe, particularly for citizens who cant afford to move as the water presses in some cities that dropped meters last century have pretty much stopped. Sinkers, tokyo and shanghai restricted how much ground water citizens could extract and recharge water supply that would run dry. With a simple fact that they would be some one which in fact we kind of monitor. But in cities like jakarta, residents dont have easy access to other sources of drinking water. The government would 1st have to spend years cleaning up rivets before it could pipe water across the country. Instead of mostly putting in, building a giant. But experts say this just delays the problem and isnt even the best way to spend the money. If we do it look at management, its only 10000000000. If we do this. Well, he said, well give you the tricky thing. Because in future its still very much in our Scientists Say we can limit Sea Level Rise to less than half the meat of this century by rapidly cutting our mission even half a meter for some cities could already be too much estimates put the Sea Level Rise around venice in italy at more than 20 centimeters higher than a century ago to that high tides. And you have shops and the cathedral in italy is lagoon city, facing a deluge more often than before. Now floodgates are being tested to protect the city, but many inhabitants remain skeptical. Monica amber seanie doesnt have an easy job. She has to persuade the public that venice is on the brink of salvation. She says spokeswoman for the huge most say flood protection project. Its pastie significant tests, but its taken more than a decade to complete. People have lost faith after so many years. They cant see an end to it all. And nov 29th. Much of the city was flooded and damaged. In october, the most a flood gates were tested, they prevented high waters from reaching the city, but the system is still in its test fades. Monica amber seanie took us to the lido, where the venetian lagoon connects with the adriatic sea. Our journey ended at the new key wall. The Security Guard told us we were not allowed to come any closer for safety reasons. Its still in the test phase after all. So we had to maine do observe in this mammoth construction from a distance. This project poses a real engineering challenge to begin with 40 foundation payloads, 60 metres long will lowered into the water and connected by an underwater look system. Then 78. 00 to movable chambers, each weighing over 300. 00 tons were placed above them. Was it on the seat . You believe on these enormous floating gates had to be positioned right alongside each other. There was a 5 millimeter margins and repeat. It was an extremely precise remote controlled underwater operation. Was in economy to this area between the lagoon in the sea has been a construction site for 17 years. There have been various interruptions and a series of corruption scandals leading to arrests. This is also why most say still has a poor reputation among many venetians and jr. Bury me as one of the most vocal critics of the project, which he says lacks transparency, which wastes of public money, like weve never seen before. He thinks that there are other ways of protecting the city together with the fellow campaign from his association. He showed us the damage caused by the storms and floods. Last november. Many walls were destroyed, but the jew deca island does a ball walk and prevented similar damage in other parts of the city will want to decrease how much of the most aid
