bring our correspondent emanuel shots emanuel. it's unfolding. and it's, it's an ongoing situation right now. what more can you tell us about this incident? well, right now, we still do not know how many people have been wounded. indeed, you mentioned its police, confirmed the loan. again, man has wounded several people that d, a perpetrator was dead, they didn't give any detail on as to how this has happened. they had asked police as asked on twitter earlier on to avoid the area where the university easy. so we have in the city of heidelberg, where this happened in on a university campus. so the operations, the situation is still a very much ongoing depress office of the university. so a decline to give any details on the incident, we waiting for more information from police. they also said police as so say, gave some details about the weapon use. it's a long barreled weapon that was used in the a sold so long alone again. man who wounded several people, we still do not know how many people are injured or we don't know anything about the gravity

now, this push for autonomy is really the branch out of the french president, emanuel con, he went to europe to dream bigger and assert itself globally. but not everybody is on board some think it's a useless pipe dream, but france holds the 1st rotating presidency for the european union in 2022. so emanuel con, will be forging ahead health experts in the united states or warning of they call an armor crohn blizzard. they told americans to prepare for severe disruptions in the coming weeks. the rising wave of covered 19 lead by armor kron is threatening to overwhelm hospitals, schools and other key infrastructure. record numbers of children have been hospitalized in authorities or preparing to authorize booster shots for 12 to 15 year olds. next week, one of germany's leading virology has said his cautiously optimistic about the pandemic for the coming year. christian dalston says that the data indicates the alma chron variant is less dangerous than initially fear. and could actually help corona virus become more common like coal viruses. but he warned that the high number of unvaccin

zeke emanuel, former member of then-applpresident-el biden's board. you hear dr. fauci express the frustration, the angry, frankly, and the sadness involved in his being attacked based on misinformation. what is your reaction to seeing him frustrated in this way? do you share that frustration? >> yeah, i think it's terrible. tony fauci is a man of incredible integrity, devoted to the country, and devoted to the american public's health. and the senate, unfortunately, first of all, doesn't treat him with respect. and second of all, we have an epidemic, a pandemic that's caused 830,000 deaths, almost 62 million people infected, and we're arguing about, you know, various emails that have nothing to do with trying to solve problems. point of fact, the email paul was referring to was not authored by dr. fauci, and the group referring to it has been discredited as was suggested in the email. so i'm not sure what gets accomplished here, but certainly helping solve this pandemic is not one of them. >> i mean, it's obviously counterproductive. it's also dangerous as well.

emanuel, it's not as if there have not been more than 800,000 deaths in this country. it's not as if we don't have issues around vaccine diplomacy and for every new letter in the greek alphabet, there's one more waiting to be named as a variant. yet there are still a lot of unanswered questions and you have seen, obviously, the frustration that has been wielded in the direction of dr. fauci and dr. walensky as well because there's confusing messaging. do you think that's truly the case, that the cdc is somehow falling short in messaging? or do you think that it's perhaps a little bit of a frustration with the fact that the pandemic has yet to end and people don't want to hear it anymore? >> look, we're all frustrated by the pandemic. it's now been two years. our lives have been upended. taking it out on government officials who are working tirelessly -- i've been in their position. i was in the government from 2009 to 2011. you're working all day to solve serious, serious problems, and then to have people attack you and attack your person, declaring conflicts of intere

ezekial emanuel is at the university of pennsylvania. a top health adviser to the incoming biden administration during the transition. welcome, zeke. let me first ask you, it's worth painting the picture, which is china's zero covid policy has been stunningly effective so far. i mean, their deaths are something in the range of 5,000 or 6,000, our death rate is something in the range of 850,000, right? >> yes, we have about 150 times the number of deaths they do and they are a country that's four times our size. so so far on that metric, it looks like their policy has been successful and their measures have been orderly, ours chaotic i think is the appropriate word. >> but the basic point you're making, correct me if i'm wrong, is that by having this super draconian policy of just not allowing any kind of covid, the population basically has no antibodies. there is no -- there is no path to a kind of immunity, herd immunity of any kind, right? is that the fund amount kind of medical flaw? >> so i would put it two ways. first of all, zero c

zeke emanuel, welcome back to the "newshour". tell us, why is a new approach needed. >> well, the biden administration came in a year ago with a strategic plan and it executed very well on that plan -- got more people vaccinated, got more tests out to the community, began developing other inrventions for the public. then we had cases come down in june, but we developed delta, we developed omicron, and the people in the administration have been working hard to address those acute problems, and they do marshal in and require us to re-think the direction of interventions and how we deploy everything together, and that was really the source of our viewpoints. >> woodruff: what would this new approach look like? how would it be different? >> first of all, we have to get there. as you pointed out, we have 1750, or so, deaths a day. we're nowhere near getting to a new norm. but we can see we're not going to erad cat covid, we're going to have to live with it. living with it means we have to take measures to allow it to be in the backgro
