a hollow. british welcome to news asia it's good to have you with us this shock and anger in india after the 19 year old gang raped and left for dead by head attacker has died in hospital the victim belong to the community the lowest in the us cost system she was left paralyzed and severely injured by had alleged attackers all uppercase cost men they have been arrested but the incident less than 200 kilometers from delhi has raised questions of a cover up as well especially after she was cremated in the dead of night by police against her family's wishes. a family quietly grieving in the wake of another gruesome crime. a woman raped and savagely beaten.

stark contrast to the scene near a delhi hospital on tuesday rights groups joined in venting their fury at local and national officials occasionally tussling with security personnel the victim had been transferred to the hospital in a last bid to save her life. there's not only outrage and utter pradesh but there's outrage in the entire country the more the chief minister is negligent in taking decisions the more dangerous the consequences will be the victim's family is not alone we are with the family the victim's father joined the protesters demands for the 4 alleged perpetrators. and i request the government to punish the accused and give justice to my daughter they should be hanged. the victim's father heard later that his daughter had died even if the case will be changed from attempted murder to murder and all the 4 accused are under arrest.

and protesters outside the hospital organized again by candlelight and ramped up their call for greater protection for women and greater protection for members of lower castes tragically in this instance the 2 issues have collided in one shocking case the victim's remains were taken to her home village by police and cremated in the middle of the night the family saying they were not allowed to perform her final rites. now as you heard the case has sparked outrage including on social media in a number of to tell users i've expressed that anger at events captain of the indian cricket team bit off going to use of the incident was inhumane and goes beyond cruelty he also called for justice to be done in the case. beyond the call for justice there are also voices demanding that accountability be

placed on the families of the perpetrators while the actress preaches into highlighting that sons need to be taught to respect women there's also been criticism of the heavy footed response of law enforcement in the case this user saying that despite strong laws india has a system that is failing women every day. and lastly a tweet from an 8 year old climate activist with a picture of the history arranged cremation of the rape victim by police a funeral which her family wasn't allowed to attend. for more i'm joined by your guitar by ana and today of activist and founder of a nonprofit advocating against sexual violence this man a welcome why did police cremate the victim in the dead of night. see that's the exact question we are is also trying to figure out and my history of walking that so many similar cases i have never seen such a cover up it's very fishy it it is evidently it's not a violation of human it's

a complete mockery of law and order system i mean they created a human chain for cops to prevent the family members to see the body and to cremate the body or to the last rites i mean it's it's. a shame that you know we live in this kind of a place and i mean this is this is happening right under our nose i mean this is the state off this kind of a trust so how much so much highlighted last 48 hours you can imagine what happens with an already case in this country. and this is a curious if you were involved with a pastor as well never involved with her getting the complaints registered the victim is now gone could her life have been saved. yes and i hold it equally myself responsible. it is the duty off the machine and the administration to see if the victim is critical cannot be you

know treated in our district hospital has to be immediately there for to a better hospital they did not do it i mean by people like me are needed i mean i'm i'm so funny because i feel myself ashamed that i could not be available for this girl because i was having my isolation period i'm going to make over it but at the same diagram again and again thinking whether i mean there must be so many victims like cause they really need in convention and who is supposed to help them didn't station which feeds their doctors again and again every single day. this is unfortunate sad but this is the reality in this particular case the victim was a gun from their formerly untouchable cost and the alleged perpetrators of a higher cost was this cost crime. yes i annoying and walking in the fields on the grassroots level i openly say if there

is this guy system which exists and which dominates and makes them more bonded a bit specially the women when they can't reach out to anybody as the easy stuff it is the men that they do they do whatever they want to do the brutality is more on the lips the men and which is a fact also another very eye opening fact off this country and specially in states like for the asian and the had to stand there so many of the states but you people declare you that but they she is still very much into the box the custis do. just one other question mr brown and this is not the 1st time we are talking about brutal very popping in india why do crimes like these keep happening because there is no data and that is no intent of a character like message strong message that and we learn to live with it as a society does not mean it's a new normal that it's on you and all of us know so how do we that be good yes. but

if men law and order system then you see the courts behaving in this man oh what do you expect from the potential rapist did you think they would have got more t.v. or did and more go kind of get up to what a woman yes because if they see the state as like this i mean definitely the best no difference so to the damned is no detriments that it's really keep happening out of this is the mideast sad state of affairs. even there for the timing but thank you so much for joining us your gift of hannah thank you so much. india passed a set of controversial new agriculture bills on sunday prime minister narendra modi says the laws will help tens of millions of farmers and lead to a complete transformation of the industry but many farmers especially small holders disagree they've been staging protests across the country to try to get the legislation scrapped they say will benefit only large corporations and mean many could lose their land and their livelihoods supporters though say it will encourage

the much needed modernization of india's farming sector. joining me knowledge again for ya the he's president of the political parties what arjun india and a member of a committee protesting against these 5 bills he joins me now from a delhi restaurant that mr other the contention is that long term these farm bills will benefit pharma as what is your objection to this. that indeed is the plea of the government and some economists to support the government in this instance and the farmers objections are tools for procedure and substitute procedures the farmers are saying we were never consulted not a single far organization was the answer to before our. second the government uses an emergency measure if an arguments why these bomblets have nothing to do with the present bent tree the bill is blocked pushed me he says and by of moving all the

procedural safeguards in the apartment so the farmers are saying why are you forcing it on. more substantive sollars i really am pretty conservative why these laws promise albany liberalization and private investment in agriculture in effect it would mean not privatization but actual complete diedrich the nation samas fear that this would give away the whatever limited subsidies farmers get from the government there is a scheme of the government which is providing a sure minimum price which in reality is given only to less than 10 percent farmers the theory now is that evil that would go away that the government is in a sense signaling to their group sector you are at the mercy of crowded trade as we are not here to do anything the government of course denies it on the face of it

but it is every possible signal subjects that indian farmers be left to the most of what is car open market but indeed is it completely an archaic. segmented market. right about that the prime minister himself has passed the near shore the per the a short a minimum price to $2.00 out of fighting to be made available and that this is not being done away with why don't farmers believe are the prime minister of the country is a shorting them. the trouble is that this is it will show us the trouble is that the farmer cannot get prime ministers message deulofeu show to save these searches the trouble is that this issuance as not all substance in law the trouble is that mr when he was not the prime minister but the chief minister of one of the provinces of india which he had himself in mind it that this particular class which is meeting on support projects she had said this needs legislative action she had

said it should be in our quitting law so farmers are seen as to why don't you implement what you yourself had in mind it will interpret so far as a scene if your blood that to please incorporate it in the lot we don't have much time here above 15 seconds what would you say are the government's more diversions behind passing these laws mr other. for some time it seems that the government is moving to words of privatization up there and that a gradient sector where at a station of a devoted a sector that saddam was actually ceding in the government's political priorities and the attempt sure is jewel basically helps some of the bit awkward roots of india who have been itching to get it out this is meant to support them to support a business to support a stockist. and not the farmers. were never there for the timing but thank you so

much for joining us from the new your grandfather. that's it for today there's more no website did ever dot com forward slash we're back tomorrow at the same time to them about. combating the corona pandemic. where does research stand. what are scientists learning. background information and news. hour carona update. 19 special next on d w. can you hear me now yes yes we got new in her last years germantown so that will bring you i'm going to a man called you've never had to have before surprise yourself with what is

possible to this magical freak what moves and what. to talk to people who follows her along the way admirers and critics alike how is the world's most powerful woman shaping her legacy joining us from eccles law stops. the fury of the. straits the folly of war. that is why today i am calling for an immediate global ceasefire in all corners of the walls. millions of people are caught in war zones the un says that's preventing an effective response to the outbreak. of dog hospital can't treat the sick. the virus spreads when tens of millions flee violence in africa the middle east and

asia. in march the u.n. secretary general called for a global ceasefire. warring parties i say pull back from our civilities put aside. silence the guns stop the activity and the airstrikes. but the world responded by buying more weapons and starting new conflicts. the pandemic is set to spark famine riots instability and civil war. the coronavirus as we can governments and security forces that's allowed some rebel groups to flourish they mostly face the same restrictions their costs are also rising but they pass them on to those caught in the territories they hold still as . tchiowa reports the response isn't that different to that of some governments. this herd is on its way to the biggest market in the central african republic.

some 42 kilometers from the capital bangui where the hurts us sold for traders in this country it means moving from areas that are controlled by different groups. the coronavirus pandemic is an additional problem the straightest complain that many groups have taken advantage of this health crisis by living in huge taxes on them. he turned on we face so many difficulties in transporting our cattle from cagayan roof to the market armed groups attack our shepherds. before coronavirus the rebels asked each of our heritage men to pay between the and $18.00 euros. no leave increased defeats almost 125 euros. they demand so much money for taxes and we're all discouraged i.

live in bangalore hasn't changed much for most people it is almost impossible to determine who is infected with the coronavirus or not during the rainy season people have the flu or malaria and that in a country where poverty is notorious it is estimated that about 71 percent of the population live below the international 40 line men and women are fighting every day to get food on the table so far there is little progress in the country with biggest political a young activist he specially criticizes the government's money many of the pandemic was on the. ground we were in a country where we no longer understand anything and the beginning of the cone of i was pandemic we were told that with all the nations that the government had received over $1000.00 would be a problem the taste was free for instance and now we have to pay for the.

who can pay that it's an unbearable situation for central africans who are more in addition to the security on the economic impact of the cotton up and many in the central african republic. $4800.00 for the 1st person. and in the midst of hoping the measure was put in place by the authorities the fight against these pirates i'm going to respect it in public places. just one example of how rebel groups are ruining people's livelihoods and how some governments are failing to keep promises let's bring in doll he's director of the gieger institute for african affairs has the coronavirus lead to more conflict or unrest in africa. that's a very good question that would be a yes and no be limited increase in terms of. what can be called so-called code 19 years order is made people riot because of the access to to nutrition and so on and

all the day's political repression by government authorities on the other you know while and has not really a priest at least that's not what the number tell us what we believe is that massive ones can. can happen in the future but only after a period when can they shouldn't especially when economic consequences get really really really bad and there's poor management of the result we picking up on those restrictions you've said there are certain kinds of conflict that pandemic restrictions are more likely to aggravate what sort of conflicts. especially at the beginning you have you know people are reacting directly to what the governments for instance if we have lockdowns you know restriction social distancing you know people might not be happy with that because they they feel they can you know get food on the table as it was mentioned in. their report before and that of course

has happened for instance south africa where there was a 'd quite you know strict lockdown on the other hand people might be scared that they are exposed to artists. open faction for instance like in cote d'ivoire when it testing center was destroyed because people who. have this congo island you know is limited in terms intensity all the forms a while it's almost likely to happen in the more distant future and under unfavorable circumstances one specific rishta could be one economic conditions become really bad that long or all minorities especially migrants might become scapegoats i think south africa could be an example of that also an on going conflict you have a risk of escalation but again the numbers do not show a strawman increase as of yet and we should point out here of course that the pandemic has tame some conflicts. yes indeed it has although i would be a little bit cautious with regard to that as well of course and that generally i

think the tradition also does have you know kind of power to bring people together because you know the common thread and they rally around the flag you know those stick together on the protesting against this effect you know wanes off the right and we have seen it also in the report that some of the people get more will just as far do you see that are on the world politically a more concrete example of overt changing africa of a pandemic was in cameroon we have assessed session as conflict in the english part of it and one rebel group has announced a ceasefire explicitly mentioning the condemning as a reason and as we speak now. i don't have very very good information but the government is he could lead negotiations with the rebels so i'm not exactly expecting that the pandemic will see over the conflict but there's a below over 2 to it so how do you get the balance right containing a virus knocking down an economy and preventing conflict. and actually that's

a that's an excellent question maybe it's the one trillion. dollar question in trying to put put it this way because it doesn't exactly you know the key challenge on the one hand you know you know keeping the virus at bay and not on the other hand you know avoid that you harm the economy so a lot that the medicine will be worse that you know than the disease so and unfortunately you know you want to restrict the virus we have to we have to. take measures that harm the economy and you know what 11 idea i have in this regard is that you know africa was it later by by the virus and that of course office unity that africa can learn from other countries how do the right way it is we'll have to leave it there thank you very much for being on the show today yeah thank you so much you're welcome. and time to answer your questions on the coronavirus

his out science correspondent eric williams. why is vitamin d. not being promoted more since there is the evidence that it's deficiency compromises the immune system. there's been an ongoing discussion in the medical research community for many months now about whether or not vitamin d. or more precisely vitamin d. deficiency could be playing a role in covert 19 outcomes lots of people don't get enough sunlight to produce sufficient amounts of it themselves which is why claims have multiplied that supplements of vitamin d. help against sars co 2 there's clear evidence the micronutrient is important to healthy immune system function in other words to how susceptible you are to infection in general a recent study from the university of chicago went a step further looking at patient records the research team they are discovered

what they claim is a clear retrospective link between vitamin d. deficiency in patients and covert 19 risks. the problem is is that to prove it we still have to carry out what are called randomized trials where where we monitor people getting enough of the vitamin and those with known deficiencies and then track the groups to see what happens over time whether there are differences in how many people in the cohorts contract kovan 19 and if they do how severe it is another issue though is if vitamin d. really does prove to be an effective preventive measure what doses of it should people take taken in excessive amounts as a supplement that can cause kelsie on to build up in your blood and can can even cause organ damage so. there are potential dangers along with the upsides but but

in general the experts agree that taking a supplement in safe amounts recommended in national guidelines can't hurt your health and it might help especially if you have been known by them in the deficiency. finally in his general audience on wednesday pope francis said we need to heal the world from the suffering highlighted by the pandemic he said the coronaviruses exposed the great inequality the brains in the world the inequality of goods health care technology and education the pontiff called for policies that reward participation care and generosity rather than indifference or exploitation and special interests saying a fair and equitable society is a healthier one. we will be able to regenerate society and not return to so-called normality because this normality was sick also before the

pandemic alert up remove that up and many of the normality of injustice inequality and environmental degradation. thanks for joining me for this kind of 1000 special. see you next on.
