the idea is on its way to bring you more conservation. to make city streets. can we protect you. from. the environmental series of the small towns on. this is the tough issues a show coming up today to jointly advance this fund divides india. the ad featuring an interfaith family is criticised for allegedly promoting a muslim conspiracy to marry hindu brides. how deep is the religious divide in their trust. in afghanistan the concerns for civilian security that the taliban steps up attacks and u.s. troops continue their withdrawal from the country. and the tongues cultural life on

hold because of course at 19 the performer's watching their odds and their livelihoods slipping away with time. i've been asked by magic welcome to deed. it's good to have you with us and indian jewelry brand has pulled an advertisement featuring an interfaith family after a massive backlash on social media the advertisement shows a muslim mother in law organizing a baby shower in the daughter in law opponents to the advertisement accuse the brand of promoting so-called love jihad it is a term used by right wing hindu groups in india who believe there is a conspiracy to convert hindu women to islam through marriage trigger user tweeted this video of the advertisement before it was pulled.

thank you he. will be told. he has. to do with the drama. now the advertisement triggered shop responses on twitter like from this user who asked the company if it was promoting love jihad day or to do an ad of muslim daughter in law with hindu family use or went on to say famous bollywood actress going out on now it's treated that as hindus we need to be absolutely conscious of what these creative terrorists are injecting into us a conscience saying father it was the only way to save a civilization

a colleague actress a sort of limited the withdrawal of the advertisement by the company accusing it of sad lack of spine and conviction numerous women and men get death threats and social media on a daily basis they stand up to it she said and politician and author tweeted if hindu muslim got from them so much why don't they buy called the longest surviving symbol of hindu muslim unity in the world india is hindi for unity and was the name of the jewelry line from the company. and the democrats one of my natural duties on the story for us she joins me now from delhi when you know why so much outrage over a simple advertisement. well this is a question that many are asking why such an outrage with this act the ad essentially sure as a pregnant teen the woman being escorted to a hindu style being shot said to many by her muslim mother in law which essentially indicates that the in the woman is mad it into the muslim families the tagline of

the brand also one of the would you suggested that they wanted to celebrate what they call the confluence between 2 different religions to culture than traditions but there's been a massive backlash to this and critics actually viewed this as outreach to what they say is a deep seated in thought and it's towards anything that's towards interfaith hominy or the past you use for the overarching idea is that any content or any agenda which talks which is live in a secular and talks about how many is basically done at the expense of the sentiments of the hindu kush on the majority of the country and people who are against this ad who have been changing quite quite an issue which is the brand name on social media saying that this ad notifies what they call love jihad what is this term love jihad that keeps coming up in some of the tweets that we have also shown to our viewers it is that across social media what exactly is it what is its geneticists. love jihad basically than just to be

a hindu fundamentalist conspiracy theory in which the adage is that muslim men how to gauge into this conspiracy of converting hindu women to islam by matching them so certain cases in the past over many years have been big up by sometimes fringe elements of local political parties or even media to portray them ascii self-love jihad but they have been groups into this case as well in which interfaith managers have been called and agencies have found absolutely no evidence of love jihad in which hindu women are being understood to be being maltreated or suffered in these manages but from everything that you're seeing many very it sounds like there is a religious divide in india how deep is the. well the hindu muslim divide and the tension which follow are nothing new to india we have seen these issues springing up over the past many a different times and different reaves but critics say that this deep seated into all of us towards anything which promotes the in the muslim harmony has faced a lot of opposition especially under the cut in training party which even though

the ruling establishment i mean leadership light has never said so in so many words but it has been an understanding that the ruling party slants more toward the majority didn't you of the country i critics say that this idea of intolerance has been played up by playing on the sense of feeling the injustice as it feel that their interests have played a 2nd fiddle to those of muslims especially under the previous governments so then does that mean that this is the end of this particular control received relation to this advertisement. it does look like because the brown have taken down that bitties meant they have even published a statement that why they had to take down the advertisement and also they have the news reports off the shops of these but in this particular bradby i pad in different parts of the country so clearly the social media outrage has followed this advertisement over the past couple of days did push the brand to take this new just step of actually pulling down the advertisement and setting a statement out in that relieve there for the time being but thank you so much for

joining us from your natural debris from delhi. more than 30000 civilians in southern afghanistan are fleeing their homes following days of fighting between taliban militants and government troops residents of the city of muscular john hulsman from vns began fleeing of the taliban militants launched attacks on the city of the weekend afghan troops are fighting back supported by u.s. airstrikes. of the assault on the city comes even as afghan government the goal here to talk with bali bomb representatives in dog the dogs went ahead following an assurance by the us of a complete troop withdrawal from the country a prospect that has many of the country wanted about their security. 7 1 god had province afghanistan villages go about their daily life but something has changed many of them don't feel safe anymore there is doubt followed by them

probably since the americans left we cannot go to our farms outside at night anymore we're worried that the taliban or isis will come again and we keep guard during the night. the u.s. military set up bases here after islamic state militants seized large parts of the province and 2015 terrorizing the local population and destroying health centers and schools u.s. forces helped to put a stop to that using their military might to drive jihadists from the area. but in july this year they left handing over this and other military bases to afghan soldiers and with it the responsibility to keep the local population say. it's a huge task some fear to shoot. in recent months militants have reappeared in the area and afghan troops say they don't have the resources they

need to fight them. but for us that the american forces have modern equipment like drones they were controlling the whole area from the air so the unfortunately we don't have such equipment since the u.s. left right militant activity has increased by 10 percent on that and sometimes the taliban are attacking our forces him economic. return of islamist militants is many people's worst nightmare here. and afghan forces will have no choice but to work with what little they've got to prevent it from becoming a reality. in hong kong with the performing arts community has faced a big hit due to the coronavirus bundaberg theaters are empty and stage lights left cold and there is little hope on the horizon even as entertainment venues begin to reopen. all the world's

that's it for today be sure to check out other stories on the dot com forward slash on facebook and twitter really even now with these images from india of preparations for the. first of all to the voters that begins in a little over a week from now these are pictures of. i had loads for the 1st of all i'm a washer of one of the same family it's event of a. cooling

. pandemic. where does research stand. what are scientists learning. background information and. our corona. special and next on d w. to go beyond. that. as we take on the right.

now. the stories that matter to you and really what ever it takes. to get. out of the detail you made for mines. a double epidemic is coming as coated cases rise and influenza wave is heading to the northern hemisphere what if you get both at the same time. the corona virus is already new territory it's a combination with him so when's an equally unknown. winter will be a challenge. and the big problem we're facing is that cove it can look a lot like flu that's going to create a lot of problems for our hospitals and so one of the most important things we can do is to prevent flu in our community and we're the most important tools we have is

the flu vaccine whether it impacts the behavior of the coronavirus is another thing but a flu vaccination could narrow the diagnostic options when flu like symptoms occur . doctors say it's more important than ever to get your flu shot this year facebook has launched a vaccine information campaign it's also banning ads that discourage people from getting the jab as the reportedly only 400 stein found out demand is surging experts say is could be a test run for an eventual coronavirus vaccine. a little pinprick that protects against the flu and helps make sure the health system won't be overwhelmed doctors are worried about a widespread flu outbreak alongside a new wave of covert 19. as would be the demand for flu vaccinations is higher this year than usual and people are a bit alarmed and scared and that means that they are much more willing to get

vaccinated. a flu jab is usually recommended for. those over 60 pregnant women people with preexisting conditions and medical workers but this year the vaccination is available to everyone who wants one. german health minister says anyone who wants to have themselves and their children vaccinated should and can do so but if everyone in germany decides to get a flu jab there won't be enough of the vaccine to go round. if we just vaccinate anyone who once it's done it's quite possible that the people who really need it may not be able to get a vaccine at all in the end would be ethically and medically wrong. to avoid that outcome the vaccination commission recommends that high risk patients be vaccinated 1st than the rest of the population germany has never used up all its available vaccines nevertheless this year the flu vaccination will serve as a test run for an eventual carona vaccination. learn how

a covert $1000.00 vaccination program might work from how influenza vaccinations go this year will probably vaccinate the same risk groups 1st will have much less of the vaccine at 1st compared to the influenza vaccine so we'll probably have to vaccinate gradually starting with those who need it most in this respect you can see the flu vaccine as a kind of test for the population for people for. the state and the medical profession are hoping to learn valuable lessons from this year's flu season and how to prioritize future vaccinations. joins us from italy's national institute for infectious diseases. i got my flu shot last week was that a good idea. well somebody very good idea i did the same just 10 days ago and was also vaccinated against the. infection this is a very well they did because you have decrease the number of flu cases.

firstly because. the infection that should be prevented the for its complications secondly because we have to avoid pressure during the winter season or in the hospital for a good system. but tell me this there are studies that show that it could actually protect me against the corona virus is it is that can you substantiate that there is no evidence that. the vaccine nationally against flu can protect the and against cyclone alliance still that different viruses and they belong to different families they snowy interactions between the 2 viruses and the facts of national case flu does not protect against the corona virus there is scope to

be seen aided by that and other important the ceasing the risk into the system that can get can that worsen the course of that it could infection with coffee or will increase the pressure in their hosking does so on a mission and intensive care mechanical ventilation cases but what if i do get the flu and corrado at the same time. we don't have a case in court how. about of also 5 so for your question and no. reply i just can say that if we all do. the same time they could be down maybe next year when in the book all the boxes. about it won't need to be done to get new zealand

has seen a 99.8 percent reduction in flu cases following its code 90 response it is that because so many people so much more vigilant about washing hands wearing mosques this is a possible explanation the most likely explanation 'd that the mission school refused the spread of the koran of i can reduce also the spread of through this is correct and in my view. if we use proper masks wash and send and we have physical decency we can avoid bought fuel and. the the fact that. the number of cases of flu is so dramatically decreasing can be the view. up today

under arrest of the people who measures. what's your research reveal on geographical differences on the spread and sabera here of the flu and coven. the but through when. the same way it is there is already there is built all the way to the outlets and the contacts that oh i can't be the. patient can't just meet the infection do or do one called passion to $2.00 persons on average whereas the c.b.d. for floor is low at around the one a $1.00 and case fatality rate is around 5 percent up to 1520 percent they know people are older than 8 year sold for coffee whereas. for flu the more case but. the slower than one

percent and this is the big difference between the 2 deceases thirds of beyond the pale of patricio thank you very much for joining us today. a brief look at some of the coronavirus stories making news another setback for hopes of a vaccine anytime soon johnson and johnson's clinical trial of its covert 19 vaccine is on hold for a volunteer came down with an unexplained illness. nearly has also caused a clinical trial of an antibody treatment. to taiwanese companies have designed a covert rapid test using electronic chips a coating on the bio sensor tracks and binds with the are in a of the virus in the flow of electrons through the semiconductor changes showing a negative or positive result in a few minutes. and researchers in japan have used

a supercomputer to show how humidity affects the dispersion of corona virus particles the findings suggest contagion risks are high in dry indoor conditions in winter they say humidify is could help limit infections when window ventilation is not possible. of to our science correspondent now derek williams for another book shelf installment of his q. and a the usa. how do you make a vaccine for something that mutates. i get asked this a lot to answer we have to look at the process of evolution not just like with living organisms the genetic code that governs how a virus is made changes from generation to generation sometimes in small ways sometimes in big ones the progeny if they survive eventually will become

separate strains that are distinct from their common ancestor their genetic code has changed and and that can change how they look at their structure and also how they interact with potential hosts for example whether they can cause more or less severe illness what's key to creating a vaccine is the speed at which these changes occur in viruses like the ones that cause influenza for example which have genomes that are less stable or the rate of change is so rapid and random that we need a new vaccine to fight them every year we have to play catch up with flu bugs all the time fortunately due to the way that sars 2 makes copies of itself its genome remains relatively stable as far as we can tell a worldwide there isn't

a lot of genetic variation yet among all the novel coronavirus is circulating in different parts of the planet and because those groups are so homogeneous theoretically a vaccine that can prevent one should be able to prevent them all what's interesting and kind of scare. is that is that when we start to prevent infections with a vaccine i will also start forcing sars cove to change in ways that will allow it to get around the vaccine but but that's a different question. finally the pandemic has been a letdown for live music lovers many concept holes remain closed to prevent the spread of the virus. so young members of the new york philharmonic camp decided to take their music to the public now staging performances of the city's streets and in pots the setting

is a hot cry from their film on its usual value but it gives the musicians a sense of purpose and is likely to attract new facts and also. good to have you along for another about coven specials i've been pursuing its mark .
