he moved into this apartment and go down a bustling suburb of new delhi with his wife right after their wedding for 2 years they made it home. but it's time to leave he says his employers are allowing their 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 southern 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 relocating right so i think that not being compromised is something very very both of us and it seems he's not alone but even cut him has been working as a mover for 5 years never before has he had so many stored jobs in the
6:33 pm
last month he has moved over 30 apartments like an anti-matter anant into storage units. stored is good for that we've moved many apartments storage people have lost jobs so they're moving. here storage costs far less so they couldn't do that. for many it has been a difficult but necessity move. many young professionals from small towns then departments in cities like new delhi to access more opportunities but because i'm job losses caused by the pandemic are quickly making the cost of living in cities on affordable and these relocations can have the pulling consequences to pick of the good meats moved out in march the forward in does not down. it has been emotionally draining to be all alone in this empty apartment she says we had a really good time that's how the house and it's about the house was full of it and
6:34 pm
suddenly this happened and 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 to pick up has been looking for flatmates posting housing ads on facebook. but there are no tickets. if she feels to find anyone this month to she will have to give up the apartment she's also considering heading home to go india a small town in maharashtra but is unsure if she can also be put job that. many of those leaving hope to return as soon as the pandemic and. that end however is proving impossible to predict. let's try to get more on this from our correspondent michelle dress for who joins me now on the line from delhi and michelle how big is the problem for 1st. facing.
6:35 pm
i've reduced the challenges but what the organizers say are significant a recent report from a prominent economy monitor in india said that close to 19000000 jobs have been lost so many jobs have been lost between april and july all of this yet unknown and in addition we might do the reports about big cuts across sectors 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 want to lead a little while just because they've been given what the whole option 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 fearful it or that don't do the city is asked to never again because apart from access to a lot of opportunities the cities also provide independence away from family life
6:36 pm
in addition to a social life it's going to scuttle entertainment and activities however all of these of course are privately on board but this isn't the 1st time the mission that india is seeing this in done over months of labor out of the cities. definitely british the highlight all 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 quote because of job losses now of course many of these people have side of moving back to the cities because india is in its torrid unknot the is right now in addition there has been significant government edict this embarrassed 2 would be those who have been was defective although i say it does not just food aid as well as died a gash transposed has been found was the men migrant bookless construction book was however we are not seeing a similar kind of support to be all in my sector that has been some relief in the
6:37 pm
form of tax relief as well as laundry but on the other hand the organizing is troubling much more now where you are there for 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. are going to drop that are going to. but none of these are the bomb they called
6:38 pm
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 and 945 harold agnew a physicist who observed both the hiroshima and nagasaki missions aboard an escort plane brought his personal camera with him and 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
6:39 pm
publication as 1945. and that is actually one was immensely more powerful than the irrational weapon access to turn him ball and it had far more destructive power. 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 or less you as your links demonstrate with mars but this shot it's neither hiroshima nor nagasaki a search of atomic history archives suggest that this massive blast is the cherokee hydrogen bomb test over bikini atoll in 1956. did the government and the media make
6:40 pm
a simple error or was the misuse of the footage intentional. i can't really speculate about whether they were they were deliberately concoct. 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 b.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 nagasaki to tell the story to future generations it's important to many in japan that the facts and the images are correct. and that report together joins me now in the studio how did you know all the image was being used for decades across
6:41 pm
television and documentary films the way i came across a 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
6:42 pm
a physicist's private camera for this is sort of 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 was 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 the stork will 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
6:43 pm
the mistake was made i think a lot of people have that 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 a dishonor to you to keep repeating these images not once or twice but for 75 years i mean as if really were there thank you so much for coming in. and that's it for this week there's more. back on monday with more news asia i would be going to. my 1st vice was the sewing machine. where i come from women are almost by this social tool something as simple as learning how to write a by say those isn't. since i was a little girl i wanted to have a bicycle off my home and it took me miss them until. finally they gave up
6:44 pm
invention by me and i say this but 3 times because sewing machine sewing i suppose was more appropriate for goes than writing advice. no i want to reach out to those women back home who are bones by then duties and social norms and inform them about deadbeats and write. my name is the about of the who and i wore them. how much should scientists play god that's the big question in the new netflix thriller bio hackers that's coming right up on arts and culture and also on the show disney's new animal adventure the one and only either goes straight to stream in. photography or dino wasin takes pictures of the working people she calls the
6:45 pm
displaced kings and queens of the african diaspora and. music around the renowned violinist yes really. welcome to arts and culture genetic engineering. so what about biohacking still scary but definitely sexy by a new series out this week on that flicks about ambitious science with the power to . netflix is hoping to cash in on a growing appetite for german series after the global success of other. dark.
