has been the epitome of that the winner coming in special style on 82 minutes i don't. buy and sell chance of a 6 trophy out of 6 this year is set to be dashed by the postponement of the club world cup in december but it is still being a truly remarkable 2025 pounds if lakeside. you know what same day have a knees up next after run a virus special with monica john states and so that's i'm rebecca mrs invent and thanks for watching. combating the corona pandemic. where does research stand. what are scientists learning. background information and. our corona update. from the covert 19 special next on d w. in the art of climate change.

versus. one to use today how far future. d.w. dot com africa legacy of the melting snow could turn. the fury of the fire whose traits the fall of water. that is why today i am calling for an immediate global ceasefire in all corners of the wall. millions of people are caught in war zones the un says that's preventing an effective response to the outbreak. 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. put aside and then. silenced the. strikes. but the world responded by buying more weapons and starting new conflicts. the pandemic is set to spark famine riots instability and civil. 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 hurt is on its way to the biggest market in the central african republic. he some 42 kilometers from the capital bangui where the hurts us old for traders in this country it means moving from areas that are controlled by different groups. the coronavirus pandemic is an additional problem the state has complained that many armed groups have taken advantage of this health crisis by living in huge taxes and then you go. around. you don't and 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 heads men to pay between the and $18.00 euros. no they've 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 more torrijos it is estimated that about 71 percent of the population live below the international poverty line men and women are fighting every day to get food on the table so far there is little progress in the country we meet rodriguez political a young activist he specially criticizes the government's money to many of the pandemic was on those. we did we were in a country where we no longer understand anything and the beginning of the coup one of i was pandemic we were told that with all that the nation was 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. party. who can pay that but it's a number of books situation for central africans. in addition to the security on economic impact of the bottom up and many in the central african republic there are 4825 cases. and in the midst of hoping to measure what in place by the authorities the fight against hiv virus i'm going to respect it in public places. as 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 gigger institute for african affairs has the coronavirus lead to more conflict or unrest in africa oh that's a very good question would be yes and no has been limited increase in terms of.

what can be called so-called code 19 disorder is made people riot because of the access to to nutrition and so on and so. political repression by government authorities on the whole whoever you know while and has not really a peace 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 putin can they shouldn't especially when konami consequences get really really really bad and. 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 government 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 aristide. ofa infection for instance like in the cote d'ivoire when testing center was destroyed those people who. have this kind of violence you know limited in terms intensity all the forms a while and so more 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 ongoing conflicts 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 generally i think natural disasters have the you know kind of power to bring people together because they are the common thread and they rally around the flag you know those stick together on the protesting against this effect you know when it's off the radar and you 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 that changing ethic 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 pandemic as a reason and as we speak now. i don't have very very good information but the government is you could lead negotiating with the rebels so i'm not exactly expecting that the pandemic will see over the conflict but there's

a been over to put 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 from a put put it this way because doesn't exactly you know the key challenge on the one hand you know you know keeping the bar is a debate and on the other hand you know that you home the economy so 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 that 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 often 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 here's our 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 which a step further looking at patient records the research team they 'd 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 we're we'd 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 contracts 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 it 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 corona virus has 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 exploitation and special interests saying a fair and equitable society is a healthier one. put image in that. we will be able to regenerate society and

not return to so-called normality because this normality was sick also before the pandemic alert the premier that up on linea the normality of injustice inequality and environmental degradation. thanks for joining me for this kind of 1000 special and then fizzle and see you next time. conflicts you don't hear a lot of passage in europe these days but for more than 2 months follow garia compulsed plan to corruption and see government demonstrations by just this week from sofia to speed so such a minister and social of a spy she continues are stuck in a jungle dismissed teaching its most vulnerable people they should it's human

rights over. conflicts of. cause against machos and call it takes one for democracy and then in belarus will not back down in the face of police violence cropping up be all foreign terror and regime. they continue to demonstrate on to mom before socratic president step down ethics classes in swimming classes look a shake up. some kids under a. 60 minutes on t w. every day counts for us and for our planet.

blue blindness is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make since rebirth how can we protect habitats what to do with all our waste. we can make a difference by choosing small solutions overstrained said in our waste. good. until series a few times and. when is the government going to get the message and resign we're getting a lot of different messages from the protests is your government afraid of the truth we'll seeing me being afraid of the truth we're going to stand up there are a lot of problems you don't hear a lot about it in europe these days but for more than 2 months fog area has been combust by anti corruption anti-government demonstrations for 7 years in a row it's on the dubious distinction of being the most corrupt country in the e.u.

my guest this week from sofia is the need for such about the minister of labor and social policy why does she continue to serve in a government that's mistreating its most vulnerable people in violation of its human rights of negations and why has it done so little to crack down on organized crime and the politicians who benefit from it. when it's a structure of a welcome to accomplish its own we've seen more than 2 months of government protests sometimes violent when is the government going to get the message and resign we're getting a lot of different messages from the protests but we're also getting messages from those that are not on the belt. actually the protests started 2 months ago but

they combine that out if different messages some of the messages those messages that are for better judicial system or more justice and for fight against corruption these are messages that we hear and we do want to pursue in our politics whether from the opinion polls this is pretty clear 70 percent to distrust the government and the personal confidence rating of the prime minister has dropped to just 20 percent the lowest rate in years so the crowds are telling you they don't want you they don't want your new draft constitution they want immediate elections so why not give them to the crowd because there are not more than 6000 people on the street and there are more than 1000000 people who have voted for this government and also the regular elections that just shake your 6 months from today

people don't want to wait for that they've seen enough corruption they've seen enough brutality on the streets now the violence has been condemned as widely excessive violence by the police including by your own president truman rather he accused your government of actually directing and triggering the violence didn't he at least on one occasion. i wouldn't agree with your strong words about violence because i can i can tell you that there are more than 80 policeman that are actually now it's last detail and that have been against them there's been a lot of violence on behalf of the public and what when we are talking about the role of the president it's really very interesting that actually it's the president that is the one that must be a king about unity and must be opening alak and that on the contrary is actually fueling the violence and he's giving spirit of hatred that's that's quite an accusation to level against your president but it's not shared by the council of europe in particular the. commissioner for human rights doña me out of it she

talked about numerous reports of police violence against journalists covering the demonstrations several were reportedly beaten up and pepper sprayed when rock police clashed with demonstrators violence against journalist she said especially at the hands of state agents it's contrary to state's duty to uphold press freedom and to protect the safety of journalists it's pretty sad when you have to be reminded of that isn't that it's pretty set but at the same moment you are a person that is your word for factual television and for factual journalism and i can tell you that facts are not actually supporting the strong statements as i told you right now they were more than 80 police people that are in hospital and out of that he serious violence they were also yellow also on the street from the brought the sounds there were coffins that were being dealt and a number of other. access to that is that have been we have been witnessing on the

streets so the council of america doesn't know what he's talking about and your own president doesn't know what he's talking about and you have a veto on. the line i'll try minister so this is not into head and this isn't it you have a dead end here. it's not that then but the objective it is is just that we also see everything which is on the street not only what is what suits elk recission well president rather has long accused your prime minister of corruption and links with organized crime he's called on him to resign the government government the current government he says is morally finished and it's of the utmost importance that it's formally finished as well he's right isn't it what kind of system is this where the prime minister is pictured asleep in his official residence a gun beside his bed and a draw in his bedside table stuffed full of 500 euro notes what kind of government is this what are your proofs that this this photograph that actually took what are

the proofs of the president in this respect and is this what this stupidity of law just broadcast in picture is where the prime minister is not on one in the same picture with this and it notes a funeral and at the same time i think that if we are talking about democracy and if we're talking about superiority of law it's the court that must actually say whether it's true or not but we're coming to the courts in a minute but how helpful is it to the stability of bug area with the prime minister and the president at each other's throat both of them calling for the other one to resign the answer has to be that's not very good for the stability of your country is it. definitely this war between the institutions is not good for the stability but i want to again to to draw your attention to the facts and the facts are very clear 1st of all we have the country at the moment which has very low big reserve

the g.d.p. due to the corporate crisis is 8.2 in comparison with other countries where it's double figures we also care for we have the in top 5 the numbers of unemployment and i can also point to that the race of the g.d.p. in the last 5 years is nearly double this is not possible in a country which is that we under any corruption it's not possible to see such figures if everything is so rooted then corrupt if you are trying now the conversation well i'm not the only one saying that because you know both pug area and the government you serve in have become by words for corruption internationally corruption mafia capture democratic backsliding and a political manipulative and almost dysfunctional justice system i wonder why you continue to serve in a government which is so mired in scandal. it got this is the government which doubled the teacher selling in the country this is the government which invested

$2500000000.00 in only in the education system this is the government which preserved almost 300000 jobs places in the quarter if that is this is the government which double the g.d.p. in the last in the last years and also is the government that boston increases the incomes of the people that don't like him is not such about your the black and white you know your figures are extraordinary g.d.p. growth over the last 10 years has been around 50 percent in contrast the remaining which joined on the same those you the european union has registered an increase of more than 200 percent can you explain that you have the lowest average salary in the you with less than $690.00 euro's a month less than bosnia montenegro which aren't even in the e.u. and the european council on foreign relations says it's a sign you've made very poor use of e.u. cohesion funds why is that mismanagement and corruption or is of both. this is this is not true because the ligament still in the country when we started in the gun in

the country was 25011 now list expanded and then 11 and when we are talking about that the influence of the banks actually decrease of the cell is just that the investment of the events is 8.2 percent for the period between 24020 points if it is also important that the g.d.p. is increased with 7.7 percent the european finance investment it is once again because i am a minister of lebanon social policy want to measure the level of unemployment which would have been double figure and now is 7.2 percent and youth of the european union france investment is a lower with a 5.6 percent minister last year the us state department said that while you laws provided penalties for corrupt officials the government did not implement that law effectively officials in all branches of government reportedly gave in corrupt

practices with impunity that means no consequences so the inescapable conclusion is that you allow this corruption because members of your government and criminals connected to it a profiting by it day by day that's why the state department underlined multiple reports of government corruption and they included bribery conflict of interest elaborate embezzlement schemes procurement violations and influence trading this is full service corruption right across the spectrum of your government did you think the world would notice what was going on. i can tell you that in the last year is the commission for fighting against corruption and confiscating of illegal aquatic property yes that damn the bit but eliminate the precautions for all out the 1000000000 lever and yes that means that more than 1000 different the checks and editions of different officials on different levels including local and national

government what hasn't got government official not a single senior government official or major crime bosses been indicted on corruption charges why is that then at the all court cases and then not finished yet but i can also point to that part of the felt this and i am once again reminding but the bulk is after i'm beat by a person who is now trying to escape justice from bulgaria because of not they exit in the country for more than 700000000 you know you keep telling me about what you've done on the subject of corruption but last year the center for the study of democracy in your own capital in sofia so that at least 35 percent of public procurement contracts involve corrupt practices that's 35 percent more than a 3rd this is the kind of country that you've turned bug area into and you still think you should stay on in government transparency international regs your country as the most corrupt in the european union and has done for the last 7 years

consecutively. why don't we call it then you know but only that in this respect then the statistic which they have they have announced that for example 58 percent of the respondents in the area say that in the everyday life they didn't met that option and that actually according to europe or with that our country with 30 percent lower corruption rate then in comparison to 2017 well i don't know which you're a barometer you're looking at but the one last year said that 80 percent according to it 80 percent think that there is widespread corruption 78 percent think that the only way to succeed in business is to have political connections these are statistics that would shame any developing nation around the world let alone a member of the european union exactly the same europe amid the sense that 28 percent of the respondents say that they are actually seeing that action in the every day and 58 percent saying that they have not been in touch with that action

in their in their latin ditty well i don't know which triggers you're using i wonder if you actually listen to the views of the people out on the streets or are you just interested in digging around in your heels and hanging on to your government salaries to listen to what actually people are saying on the streets about you yes we do and that and as i don't know on the street there is no one united view and that is no one united group of people and indignation maybe a connoisseur of them plenty about him but they're different people with different motives they're those the young people the people that are actually looking for better judicial system and that one more vigorous fight is that absent those voices we hear and we want to respond to them yet by showing us according to the u.s. state the bomb and you're not doing anything about it you're providing opportunities for full scale full spectrum corruption within the government itself . i wouldn't agree with that and i don't know that they're talking about either the

wealth of the what they're talking about the western or what is talking about the e.u. doesn't know what he's talking about nobody seems to understand you very well do they let very honest of the country once again and i'm telling you that in a country where the incomes that being increased where the employment rate is lower and let the g.d.p. is being increased you cannot eat about the pandemic corruption because this is just cannot be achieved if there is such. enormous and then corruption so you say minister why is so there's so little respect in your government for the free press which is after all the bedrock of any democratic state the council of europe commission doña many out of age noted last year the continued deterioration of media freedom in bulgaria she cited nontransparent media ownership heris mint of journalists including the use of defamation suits against them why do you allow this to go on more than 60 percent of the media coverage in the area is critical

against the government they wouldn't say that this is this is like a freedom of press freedom house reported when a pro-government journalist and politician and milk look of was appointed last year to head bulger in national t.v. all the critical voices were silenced same with the nova broadcasting group new owners came in investigative journalists were fired you clearly have no interest in a press that holds your politicians to account to you. i wouldn't agree with this as well because in one of the most popular shows on the get a national television distracted for example was one of the main leaders of the opposition and one of the main leaders of the protests and actually every single day that a protester on the whole get a national television and people can free to express what they think about the government and what they think about the media you know get a yes but don't investigate them don't hold them to account for corruption earlier this year reporters without borders accused your government of trying to intimidate

journalists it said they've been subjected to a series of verbal attacks and threats by very senior officials since the beginning of february they talked about the prosecutor general the speaker of the national assembly why this constant intimidation is your government afraid of the truth do you do you see me being afraid of the truth we do understand that there are a lot of problems and that we need for the luck in the fight about that option the nation very little about it and you've done very little about it in the time that this party has been in power very little 91000 that it usually is 1000 provisional the 1st senior government officials you say that this is a little and how many say to that is and how many centers are many people who have been sentenced nobody you think that in the final major crime boss and no major government official has been said they think that in the fight in the fight against corruption we don't receive. such warrants that we see now at the moment you think

the fight against corruption is not only something that in this is that a thing of the government left you you belittle and insult journalists during a press conference in sofia on february 4th your prime minister likened reporters especially female reporters to turkeys and then he grotesquely tried to mock them by making sounds imitating the way turkeys gobble is that how you respect the free press in your country. our prime minister just isn't specific simply language and he didn't meant still be able to do any of the journalists any disrespect i don't think that this is a serious accusation about that about lack of freedom of press well this is your country is ranked 100 and 11th in the world press freedom in the next the lowest ranking of any you member country and way lower than countries like kenya and angola you're not ashamed that you score so low on these key indicators for democracy like free press and very much

a story for the fact that the get it continues to be with the negative coverage you know of the foreign media but i do believe that if we really object if we are going to see that way again as i mentioned to you before is not so black and white 60 percent of the average in bulgaria is negative about the government every journalist at least 3 supposed to talk about the government then the the use of social media in the countries really enormous including the us consumption of internet media and internet media is very medical it's all about the minister what of particular concern is your human rights record in bulgaria and the impression of fundamental legal safeguards for citizens appeared to be missing at the end of 27 june the un committee against torture reported that the or thirty's often failed to inform arrested people of their rights in criminal proceedings that actively

discouraged by manipulation threats and ill treatment from accessing those rights what's more in excess of 70 percent of detainees don't have access to a lawyer when those criminal trials begin and some don't even have a lawyer at any stage in those criminal proceedings to say any of that strike you as fair and what kind of state he running where you permit things like that to go on. ministry of justice in the area and also the other institutions that are supposed to be thought what about these problems they are working very hard on this as the minister of labor the minister of social policy and in charge for people with disabilities people with mental get and also elderly people and for example in the public $1000.00 crisis. but yet it has managed to preserve the life of most of the all of the people have been now at the moment in not they care center city centers for people with disability with people with dementia out of 60000 people

who get in this and there's only 3 families and 54000000 are on her own a thought my question was about the lack of legal representation for people in your justice system it's a pretty shocking lack or 70 percent of detainees don't have access to a lawyer when those criminal trials begin i don't know about this figure us but i can tell that this you don't you read the record every international report for size your case or what's next that generated this there because that was in the area a lot of lawyers in the area that also is. this case is the committee against torture said the one in every 3 people detained in your police stations are subjected to abuse there which may be they say of such severity as to amount to torture a main clue beating handcuffing to immovable objects and the use of truncheons i thought all the stuff was supposed to end when the communists left it doesn't seem to have ended at all you seem to perpetuate this kind of treatment and i'm

wondering why as i still think that this is that it was actually exaggerated and it's not exactly true you can also see that during the early un is lying about you now the un doesn't know what they're talking about human rights council committee against torture they don't know what they're talking about they don't talk to people they don't do research they simply make all this up there and you do not believe that the geopolitical interests sometimes when we're talking about the very end and international image about the get a bill that has no interest in making up stories about you. full stop and no interest whatsoever i'm sorry but you can always dull facts from certain cases and you can always say that this is the system but the system is not like this and i can tell you this as a person police already thought the 7 years in the yet you have ample that means 16 years old when the plumbing is spelt and i can tell you that that is the menders improvement from 1998 until today well since you're in charge of

social care and people with mental disabilities let me join your attention to another report which came from the un committee against torture which is particularly shocking because it involves the excessive use of medication and chemical restraints on people on inmates and the forcible administering of intrusive and irreversible psychiatric treatment and therapies such as neuroleptic drugs without any attempt to gain consent from the people who are subjected to these treatment this is going on in your mental institution and frankly it's inhuman isn't it how do you permit that this report is particularly with this report that i am aware of it or it's about it concerns for the particular institutions this institutions will be closed and all the people in this institution will be displaced until then yes then there is the close when will they be closed they will last until the end of this month we are working already on that and together with the philosophy of the general with that is that edition of all

the institutions the mentalities of the devil people in if we see that either it is just like this all the other institutions will be well how do i know you know because there is no independent monitoring another fact brought up by the committee against torture you have no independent special monitoring mechanism for mental health institutions we are working very closely with the non-governmental organisations sense from the 1st of september we have established the mage's young quality of social services i would let it point out the duty. the europeans only that year due to our politics and the moment you get yet there are no institutions for children with mental disability and we are just at in the process of the institutionalization where all the people with mental disability as well minister is pretty shocking you've been in the for 10 years and you still have these institutions which administer forcible forcibly administer intrusive and irreversible psychiatric treatment and therapies such as neuroleptic drugs another

trick which the communists or thirty's used to do on people on dissidents and people who didn't agree with them this is been going on for 10 years and you tell me your only now getting round to doing something about it why why have you let this happen for so long we last 3 terms of you this prime minister and this party in power and nothing was done about it last night it's what in the midst of level of social policy was 25 years ago then we get more than 50000 children in institutions now we have not more than 2500 children that have been i'm not talking about children i'm talking about everybody and then you look how long it took us to the process of the institution i was asian and to say today that we don't have any more institutions for children now is that the process for elderly people and for people with mental disabilities and i am confident that in between 5 to 7 years we are going to end this between 5 and 7 years at the time of your country's accession

you promise to respect and govern according to the values of the european union those included human dignity freedom democracy equality rule of law respect for human rights things that still do not pertain and are still not respected in your various institutions like prisons where people are being mistreated and like these mental institutions where you've acknowledged that the mistreatment is still continuing i wouldn't agree with you that they don't respect these they're yours because i don't i don't see that this is a problem of the whole system yes that. the cases in which we don't see these values perspective and you just it's just we have immediately answered yes. all right they need to thank you very much for being with us.
