on hate speech prevention and sustainable local production. all of this are available online and just course you can share and discuss on because facebook page and other social media platforms. and writers to me now. this is the good news coming out today moving because of. many young professionals in india packing up and leaving big cities as a coronavirus crisis takes away jobs. and the historic image of a false history it's commonly thought is the image of the world's 1st atomic bomb detonating over hiroshima. looks at why tragedy is confused with.

british welcome to news asia glad you could join us with india's seeing increases of 60000 covert cases daily the medical emergency keeps expanding but so does the social and economic one millions of skinned and unskilled workers across the country have had to leave big cities either due to job losses or changes in the nature of their jobs many have no choice at all while others have difficult choices to make the democrats fundamentally should just fall reports bit by careful bit. backing up a home it is going to. take on nothing that i and then he moved into this apartment and go down a bustling suburb of new delhi with his wife right off at their wedding. for 2

years they made it home. but it's time to leave he says his employers are allowing the staff to work from home til next july being a high rent to be near his office seems pointless now but it has not been an easy decision. he's moving home to the saddam city of torture to live with his mother for the 1st time in 18 years. independent of one of the pings factors that are also considered before. so i think that not being compromised is something very very good for both of us and it seems he's not alone but being cut him has been working as a mover for 5 years never before has he had so many daughter jobs in the last month he has moved over 30 apartments like an ant and into storage units. thought is good for her that we've moved many. people are. moving.

here storage costs far less than with what they thought for many it has been a difficult but necessity moved many young professionals from small towns to vent apartments in cities like new delhi to access more opportunities but big cuts and job losses caused by the pandemic are quickly making the cost of living in cities on affordable and these relocations can have rippling consequences to pick up the goods flatmates moved out in march the 4th india's knockdown. it has been emotionally draining to be all alone in this empty apartment she says we had a really great time that's how old the house and it's what the house was full fair . and suddenly this happened i'm when my housemate was leaving i didn't have any idea that i was kind of seeing for the last time she cannot afford to rent

a room. for months because i have been looking for flatmates posting housing ads on facebook. but that on north. if she feels to find anyone this month to she would have to give up the apartment she's also considering heading home to. a small town in maharashtra but is unsure if she can also be put job that. many of those leaving done as soon as the pandemic and. that and however it's proving impossible to predict. let's try to get more on this from our correspondent michelle jess wahoo joins me now on the line from delhi and michelle how big is the problem for 1st knows like. facing. i've reduced the challenges but the organized a significant a recent report from

a prominent economy monitor in india said that close to 19000000 jobs have been lost sanity jobs have been lost between april and july all of this yet and one in addition we might do the reports about big cuts across it to us and on the mission of these factors is making life in the city an affordable specially for those who might have to pay higher then now in contrast those who had to lead a little while just because they've been given what the whole auction even of this as he said not been cut that's not so much of an actual decision as much as it's an option it's not out of desperation however across the board many of the are professionals peaceful still said to be what's going to fall into that don't do the city is asked to never again because apart from access to a lot of opportunities the city's also great independence away from family life in addition to a social life that's going to scuttle entertainment and activities however all of these of course are privately on board but this isn't the 1st time ever said that

seeing this in town of months of labor out of the city's. definitely british the highlight of what was happening what the attention of everybody in india was on at the beginning of the pandemic in india at the beginning of the lockdown was a massive migration of massive migration off to migrants and the open will holding back close because of job losses not many of these people have to have moving back to the cities because india is in its torrid unlocks the is right now in addition that has been significant government if this embossed to look at people who have been was defective although i say doesn't just food aid as well as direct gash transfers doesn't it farm was them and migrant workers construction book however we're not seeing a similar kind of support to be all in my sector that has been some relief in the form of x. or the fence that has longevity but on the other hand all that i say is troubling much more now we're here with over the time being either because for the numbers

are there as well thanks so much. now this month marks 75 years since the atomic bombings of the japanese cities of hiroshima and nagasaki the infamous mushroom clouds were filmed by u.s. scientists accompanying the mission's. investigation reveals that an only mix up of footage has left to go wrong images being used for decades in t.v. reports and documentary films around the world did of those i mean as if reports. these t.v. reports supposedly show the us atomic bombing of hiroshima japan 1st atomic bomb. going off i'm going to i'm going to. but none of these are the bomb they called little boy a d w investigation has revealed that media companies around the world used the wrong footage for decades to portray this historic moment until recently we also made

that mistake. let's go back to that mission in 1945 harold agnew a physicist who observed both the hiroshima and nagasaki missions aboard an escort plane brought his personal camera with him the hoover institution in california where his 16 millimeter film reels are held believes they are the only film recordings of both mushroom clouds. agnew's footage of hiroshima is rarely used in t.v. reports and documentaries. his shots of the 2nd bomb dropped on nagasaki are often used instead. the earliest misuse d.w. was able to find a short film produced by the us government the associated press gives the date of publication as 1905.

and that is actually one was immensely more powerful than the irrational weapon exactly to turn a ball and it had far more destructive power we need the mushroom cloud is. substantial it is bigger. you can tell from comparing that to the 2 bombs and the photography a small slice it more convincing as you as your legs demonstrate with but this shot it's neither hiroshima nor nagasaki a search of atomic history archives suggests that this massive blast is the cherokee hydrogen bomb test over bikini atoll in 1956. did the government and the media make a simple error or was the misuse of the footage intentional. i can't really speculate about whether they were they were deliberately concocting idea. a

misrepresentation that if i was told that was the case it certainly wouldn't surprise me because there were that the american government has been determined to validate using this weapon somewhat desperately at times ever since the end of the war when d.w. contacted the hiroshima peace memorial museum they told us we sincerely hope that every interested party could join us in conveying the destruction in an accurate way. 75 years on if you remain who witnessed the devastation of heroes shima and nagasaki to tell the story to future generations it's important to many in japan that the facts in the images are correct. and as if a full depth report together draws going now in the studio how did you know all that the image was being used for decades across television and documentary films the way i came across at it is i was doing research for a story in the archives for the 75th anniversary of hiroshima back in early august

and noticed that some of the cloud formations around the mushroom cloud looked the same in footage that was labeled here shima and photos it was labeled nagasaki now for the context my job here is very often to do research on social media so i'm part of a team that verifies images that we get over social media to make sure that they are what they say they are and what was interesting as i was using some of the same tools of verification looking at cloud formations what time of day it is the ambient weather things like this just the known facts about the situation when the video was taken to verify some of the most iconic images in 20th century history speaking about comic images it seems strange that there is no us one photograph all footage of the bombing of hiroshima and we have to rely on the physicists private camera for this is story moment right well there's an interesting story there and that's the official photographer there was somebody on the plane on both missions who were supposed to film it but his footage was developed on tinian island where

the planes took off and it was very humid there and the fear is that his film was not well developed because of the conditions on the island so he lost all of that film so the official images don't exist anymore the only known images so far are those of harold agnew who was the scientist who was aboard who brought his private camera now what's interesting i think is that this relates to social media in this . way that this was the dawn of an era of consumer grade private cameras so it was really the beginning of when private individuals could film historic events and that's why i think tools the same tools used for social media can be used to look at these historical images very briefly ultimately a mushroom cloud is a mushroom cloud why is getting the right one so important well i think that's why the mistake was made i think a lot of people have the attitude but in the end if your city was destroyed by a bomb and everyone you know died i think it would be

a disservice to you or dishonor to you to keep repeating these images not once or twice but for 75 years i mean as if you were there thank you so much for coming in and that's it for this week this. pandemic. where does research stand. what are scientists learning. background information and news. next on d.w. . 77 percent of. young. that's me and me. and you know what time.

of the 77 percent. this is where. the 77 percent this weekend on d w. mosques are the 1st line of defense against the corona virus protecting both the wearers and those around them from infectious aerosols and droplets. put something out that mosques actually protect against code 19 protests across the globe against restrictions including right here in germany. what does the latest research tell us about how the diseases spread to mosques help prevent new infections what about social distancing. is it safe to travel or exercise open questions that need dances

as we continue to navigate life in the pandemic. with a study by berlin charité hospital has found the risk of catching the corona virus from contaminated surfaces is lower than thought that's the good news the bad news is the risk from droplets in aerosols is greater than previously thought that means talking singing coughing or sneezing can spread the virus enclosed spaces with reduced to s.o.c. lation also pose a risk. close proximity indoors with poor ventilation and physical exertion these are factors that help encourage infection with sars c.o.v. to. even a home use everything indoors where there's little fresh.
