Some serious investigators are continuing to work at the scene of the incident which took place early this afternoon. The suspect was alone in the car and is now in Police Custody the best to gauge of stress. There are no apparent signs that the rampage was politically motivated, but prosecutors say the driver appeared to be suffering from psychiatric problems and had been drinking the states interior minister. Roger never had this to say at a press conference a short while ago. Honestly im under an old and i can see in looking back its a days events at the deliberate zigzagging was to target humans and to harm them. One does and im comforted and that is happened in a very severe manner. We have 4 dead, we have 4 critically injured, another 5 severely injured. And we have 6 with minor injuries and dozens of traumatized people. This is been a very, very tragic event. The moment if it doesnt come on straight, because like i want to get the latest now from our reporter on the ground, Louis Sanders is in the city of tree. Youre going to need to you louis. If you could summarize for us what has happened and whats the latest well, earlier today, Police Received a call around 2 pm that a man had driven in with his vehicle through this pedestrian area in this market. Central marketplace in tree here, and plowed into several people, ended up killing 4 of them. Theres more than a dozen injured before. Authorities were able to apprehend him as he tried to travel through the historical gates in this city. Now the latest is the state interior minister, as you, you just noted, described this as a deliberate act. He said the man drove his vehicle and zigzags and what appeared to be intentionally targeting passers by. People that would be shoppers in the area. And what can you tell us about that driver who was as we understand, arrested at the scene the man is a known resident in tree year. He wasnt previously known to authorities, but he has lived here apparently most of his life. He is a 51 year old man. He had over the past coming days though been sleeping in his vehicle. It is unclear why. And as we noted earlier, the police have asked to not speculate on any motive. The man had been drinking according to authorities. He was in significantly intoxicated during this act and police are saying that this is not being treated as a terrorist attack, correct . Correct. Correct. Thats exactly correct. Thats exactly right. In fact, they said at this moment, we do not see any reason to believe that this was a politically motivated attack. And so currently theyre not ruling out terrorism, but its not what theyre following up on in this moment. Have you been able to talk with residents near me . What have they been telling you what they saw . Well, the has been a shocking day for the residents of tree. You know, in germany at this moment is very much characterized as a run up to christmas, usually their christmas markets. But those have been closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. And so today would be shoppers, were just trying to, you know, do a bit of shopping again under these restrictions. And as the mayor of tree or said earlier that many of the witnesses were traumatized. And as, as i was walking here after the press conference, you know, you can see the streets are lined with candles. In fact, behind us already. Candles have been lit tomorrow.

United nations figures show that 38000000 people were living with hiv last year, nearly 700000 died as a result of their hiv infection. But prevention and treatment measures are showing promise. In the last decade, the number of new infections has decreased and so has the number of people whose death was caused directly by aids or factors related to the immune deficiency syndrome. Yet experts predict that trend will reverse this year because of the covert 1000 pandemic. And because of walk downs causing a shortage of hiv medication, its estimated there could be an additional 1400000 deaths caused by h i. V. As a result. And drugs are essential to manage hiv and they have helped many people live life to the fullest, but stigma still prevails. Our next report takes you to ukraine, where 3 h. I. B. Positive people told d. W. How the virus has affected their lives. Ive had a lot of nos in my life because of my hiv status. A lot about i thought hiv was something that only affected prostitutes and drug addicts. And that if you were quite normal, nothing bad could happen. She wasnt what i think will go. It will never tell anyone about this. That was my 1st reaction to my age. Have a positive test results ive had since i was born. My dad died of aids when i was 7. A year later, my mum told me i had a child. As a kid, you dont get what everyone else is thinking, but your life is over, that youre going to die. My mum told me id have to take pills and that was it. It was borgo going to cause my partner became seriously ill and the doctors didnt have a clue. One day the man i was dating decided to tick of the condom without telling me a month or so. Later i had tonsilitis and a rash. I just remember thinking, i know what this is. The butterfly tattoo enough of keeping it secret. So i decided to tell my classmates at college. Yes, im a child be positive. I ended up telling everyone, maybe i was just lucky but the reactions were great. And i ended up going out with the prettiest girl in our group, which was whats the big one in the 21st century age . Doesnt have to be a game changer. If everyone has access to testing and treatment, this disease is manageable problem when you push who visited and i get messages from other people with hiv. Thanking me for speaking out about my status, theyll tell you that theyve had hiv for 10 years, but only their mothers know what. So many people are giving up on themselves and their lives. Theyre convinced that theyll never have a serious relationship or a decent job. They just end up cutting themselves off from everything. I try to show them that its not the ha, the status thats doing that to their lives. Its their fears that are the problem with it. Theres no reason to give up to the latest on that mystery surrounding a metal model lifts in the us state of utah, the object was discovered in the desert there about 2 weeks ago by a helicopter crew who were counting sheep.

It was spotted by a helicopter crew from the Utah Department of public safety, which was conducting an animal count. Some might suggest that discovering this 3 metre high structure was a welcome distraction from counting sheep. Its certainly got people talking and investigating, even though the local authorities had tried to keep its location a secret. So is it solid . Not solid. It sounds a little bit like a cardboard box. So i find have linked the object to the film 2000. Im gonna say so to see in that 968 Stanley Kubrick movie and alien monolith becomes a recurring symbol. Heard everything from this fall from the sky. You know, did it, and kind of, and plant itself. There. Is it otherworldly, you know, without looking at a close and seeing that there are in fact human made that is to gather you could definitely let your imagination run wild imagination said definitely running wild now off to news that the monolith has disappeared altogether.

The Global Response is an example of what can be achieved when countries people work together. This is 1000 special. Im kate ferguson. Thanks for joining me. Once upon a time, hiv diagnosis was seen as a death sentence. Those days are now gone with advances in treatment allowing people to live long lives. But challenges do remain, especially amid a global pandemic. Thats seen the supply of hiv drugs in some parts of the world severely disrupted around the world. There are some 38000000 People Living with hiv. Last year alone, some 1700000, new infections were recorded, and 690000 people lost their lives to the disease. People living with hiv are especially vulnerable during this pandemic. For one, theyre more at risk of falling severely ill with covert 19, but perhaps even more crucially of the coronavirus shuts economies down, many sufferers have not been able to access medication. Its a very welcome arrival. Employees of the north Star Alliance deliver a choice drugs to the goldwater settlement west of johannesburg. The risk of becoming seriously or even faintly ill with covert 19, is twice as high for hiv, positive people. Many are avoiding overcrowded hospitals for fear of infection. And however, interrupting treatment can have serious consequences. Un aids expects up 2148000 additional hiv deaths related to the coronavirus pandemic by 2022. Especially in poor regions of the greatest number of people with hiv live in africa. More than 25000000 in subsaharan africa. Twice the rest of the world put together is a single mother of 4 children in johannesburg. Her clinic ran out of drugs during the hard lockdown in the spring. On top of this, the 47 year old lost her job for 2 months she had to do without half the medicine she needs. Shes now receiving support from a christian aid organization. North Star Alliance is trying to get close to the needs of the most Vulnerable People using mobile clinics. This kind of assistance helps save many lives, but the World Health Organization says more is needed more financial aid. But also the commitment that the battle against hiv aids is fought with the same determination as the fight against the corona virus pandemic. Lets speak to professor york and stall president of the european aids clinical society. Hes joining us today from don fessler. Lockes whole welcome along. How disruptive has the covert 900 pandemic been for People Living with hiv aids . Yes, i think its very different from country to country that in surveys in various parts, but youre suggesting that at least 50 percent of the physicians are involved they should be care also managed to cope with patients. So obviously they have 2 diseases to serve in a such happen disruptions. In our own clinic, we closed the clinic for 2 months in april and may and just sent out prescriptions. I think the biggest challenge has been for Testing Services because of the issue. You cant go and have contact other people until the lockdown. A lot of people were not able to assess the usual testing frequency. And thats one of the big worries around missing should be diagnosed because people do not go to the adequate Testing Services and how dangerous it is. Covert 980 for the patients is that has been an ongoing discussion because obviously people with h. L. V. Have often meant efficiency depending on their level of c. 4 count. And as such, may be at an increased risk for any kind of infection. And so there was some worry that they may have a different course of disease. The 1st case reports though, from north america, china and europe suggest that the really the outcome was very similar to doesnt really look as if the mortality was enhanced or increased. There has been a more recent, larger cohort novices, and i think thats one of the issues. If you only look at small patient numbers, you may miss something because the patients average were much younger than some of the patients who had a more unfavorable disease outcome. And in africa there was a 2. 6, whole higher mortality. There also has been ireland toddy reported for each of the patients from the u. K. To around 1. 00 hold higher. So i think in summary, looks as if in general its pretty much the same outcome. But if you have a low c 4, cumple 0200 in your severely one compromise, i think thats where you may have more increased risk. But overall mortality is low. And i can say from my own clinic, weve seen 10 patients with code 19 in h. A. E. And one of them was a bit intensive care. None of them died. So i think in general, in the younger patient population, not so or some, but if you are older with coma abilities and as an h. G. V. Patient, you have a higher risk become a bit of these. Then i think there is a somewhat increased risk. Ok. Now were very close now to have a vaccine against kovac 19 why if theyre still no vaccine against h i yes. So 2020 was unfortunately her year were a vaccine which had showed some promise in the time vaccine trial where there was a 33 percent reduction new infections. And now this improved vaccine was tested in south africa. And i, fortunately the trial will stop because of lack of sleep. And i think the reasons is that they should be employed, we should technology and the virus is costly changing that shield to protect itself. And these changes to have made a vaccine attempt. So its not so easy to target the thats a little different than some of the other viruses have much less changes surface so, you know, the United Nations has set of thought, the goal of ending the aids epidemic by 2030. Do you think thats realistic . Well, you know, on a more positive side, if you look at some of the recent numbers from the u. K. , you can see that actually theyre very close to ending the epidemic because they have more than 95 percent of their patients are diagnosed. We have age of the at least in the london region, they have more than 95 percent on treatment and they have more than 95 percent. Rarely are logically suppressed. So theyre doing very well and the new numbers are falling really quite dramatically. And its really great to see that with the tools we have to
