melissa chan welcome to news asia thank you for joining us we've reported on the hundreds of detention facilities across the shing general and in china where the government has rounded up some 1000000 weekers a muslim and ethnic minority international condemnation has not discouraged beijing it appears that the system put in place inching jang is being installed in tibet once again china says these are voluntary vocational training centers but if what's happened in any indication it's more about forcing chinese culture on unwilling to batten. deliberately given to the nearest fence trying to seize control of the land they live on tibetans have complained that their religious freedom and traditional way of life are being actively cotyledon now it appears the situation is getting was. evidence that beijing is closing hundreds of thousands of tibetans off their land. and into so-called vocational training centers that are
3:32 pm
set to resemble labor camps traditional farmers and herders that being turned into factory workers and other low paid labor and maids to relocate to other parts of china. those are the findings of a report by u.s. based research institute findings china's governor in tibet denies. there are no forced labor transfers as the party secretary and i explained just now people have a strong desire to travel for work and people have a strong desire to learn new skills. the government has followed their wishes and needs. but the information gathered by the jamestown foundation tells a different story it says the rural tibetans are coerced into militarized training regimens in facilities like this one and subjected to quote slow transformation
3:33 pm
patriotic and legal education and chinese language teaching. its aspects like these that are causing comparisons to jan province where beijing is accused of indoctrinating ethnic week is and so-called reeducation camps. there's no evidence that tibetans are facing the same level of persecution as the week as the international community is taking note on october 14th washington appointed a new coordinate a full tibetan issues and had a message for beijing. one of the core challenges that we were identified from the chinese communist party there a consistent violation of the most basic and fundamental human rights for their own people whether it's in john what's taking place there whether it's tibet we talked about that a little bit earlier this morning we'll work hard to do everything we can to build out a coalition all across the world comes to understand how important it is alongside
3:34 pm
of us and works to impose costs on the chinese communist party when they act in ways that are inconsistent with those basic fundamental human freedoms. beijing's onset the us should mind its own business. surely so with the establishment of the so-called special coordinator full tibet and is used by the us is totally out of political manipulation aiming to interfere in china's internal affairs and undermine the development and stability of tibet china has always opposed this position and has never recognized that. tibet's government has said that some 15 percent of the region's population have received locational training in just 7 months and the program is ongoing. rights groups worry that with every person that some are old tibetan culture is being further eroded. joining us is kate saunders
3:35 pm
a specialist and writer on tibet kate the report documenting this just came out but i know you've monitored what's been happening in tibet for years what have been some of your own findings. yes this that this report. important indication of the very rapid social economic transformations taking place and to bat and what we found is that this combination of intensified securitizing militarized. before sion jack came to that in which dystopian police state was set up in which emerging from china's economic and strategic objectives on tibet and with the ultimate aim of. an official document put it breaking connections breaking lineage breaking roads and what we found is that this goes beyond the superficial measures now so tibetan
3:36 pm
buddhism a loyalty to the dalai lama runs very deep into people and so the measures need to go very deep to so we've seen the party using new language a new focus on ideological control and focusing really on a literary conduct collective memory of what it is to be to that raising the alarm or influence this this further emphasis on sinusitis ation and even while we may not understand fully what sinusitis ation means it's linked to the objective of creating compliance citizens in the way that and with a focus on not only recitation of party slogans but but really the emotional buy in of of to that tends to an ideological remolding
3:37 pm
only why rank which is very of course right you mentioned that it's a police state i'm curious what is different this time do you think that there's going to be an expansion in tibet of what has taken place and she jang with the detention camps is there more systemic thing that they're going to try to import into tibet this time. it's very different in that we have monitored the same mass inter monks being seen and shen jank. but all over the house they in a large scale expansion of prison in some ways notice the deeper institutionalization of this ideological agenda with the construction of a new party building facilities. incenses research they seem to be centered on the military style training in many cases also taking
3:38 pm
tibetans off their land so this is linked to. drive that we've seen since 999-2000 those are the so-called western development counterpane which tens of thousands possibly many ends of tibetan herders have lost their traditional livelihoods. in the whole program of mass. and this is one of the elements that is most important in the latest research because tibetans are being removed from their lands linked to these massive social engineering policies that we've seen over the years is right that appears to be china's endgame kate sanders thank you. in hong kong it has become increasingly difficult for school teachers particularly those in history in politics to do their jobs recently one primary school teacher
3:39 pm
was banned after a lesson plan about free speech and democracy and the government has warned it would root out other quote black sheep from the education system. preparing for classes know a struggle for secondary school teacher tell me he teaches won't history and some of the concepts have become politically sensitive. when we talk about ideas like social contract people have the right to overthrow a corrupt government will tyranny. but now under the political atmosphere and especially the national security law we have to be very careful about these topics . we don't know what the so-called red line is. that creates a white tara among teaches. he now has to self censor every word he says in the classroom fearing that students with
3:40 pm
a different political stance would secretly report him. you don't know if the students a pro-government oprah democracy so anything we say could be used as an excuse for a complaint against me and i may lose my job at any time so it's very tiresome it gets very tiring day after day like that. beijing imposed the national security lawful hong kong in july just 2 months later a primary school teacher was banned from teaching for life after giving students worksheets about independence and freedom of speach. the initiative was backed by the probating cam in hong kong newly formed to parents groups recruit 100 falling tears as an anonymous spies to report teachers on their list of problematic teachers reasons of complaints include expressing pro-democracy fios in school. i.
3:41 pm
mean you're fighting for a lot it's wrong to have an anti government stance in the education system but it's very clear if you hold an anti government stance on your teaching is problematic i thought into guys look at all the violence on the streets last year what went wrong and who caused it the teachers should not encourage students to take part in illegal events by put away 5 prosy since the anti-government movement broke out last year the education period has received over 200 complaints against teachers dozens of educators have sought legal assistance from the hong kong professional teachers' union the union things it is a systematic approach. in the high court over the pro beijing camp refused to admit hong kong's problems are caused by the wrongdoings of the government or police brutality who do what they need an explanation for the social conflicts and
3:42 pm
they make teachers the scapegoat down accusing them of educating the youngsters because ego will go with you later. under their political pressure some teachers have already left the industry tommy has also thought about quitting his job but he doesn't want to give up yet if all of us leave the teaching profession who will there be to teach the next generation even though there are things that i cannot say in front of my students i hope my students can understand. and they would know that i haven't quit. if these teachers are still trying to keep our core values of hong kong i wish that i could give them a little bit of hope that there's still a good future for them. that's it for today there's more on ford slash asia we'll leave you with pictures from tibet where human rights observers say the culture is under threat thank you for watching and see you next
3:43 pm
time. combating the pandemic. where does research stand. what are scientists learning. background information and. our corona. 19 special next on d.w. . and you know yes yes we can hear you and how the last 2 years german stocks that we bring you i'm going to i'm out or as you've never had to have
3:44 pm
a surprise yourself with what is possible who is medical really what moves i want. to talk to people who follows her along the way i admire those and critics alike now as the world's most powerful woman shaking her legacy joining us from eccles law stops. we've been told what to watch out for fever a loss of taste or smell a dry cough just some of the symptoms. but the effects of covert 19 on the body can go well beyond those and run much deeper a disease that begins in the lungs can have a profound impact on many parts of the body for some the effects can be long lasting. their old many people show symptoms of what we call the long range where people are having health holes which is after they are special republican
3:45 pm
leadership most covert patients recover within weeks but some have been living with the effects for months exactly how long it can last we have yet to find out could cope with 1000 be a disease from which some of us never fully recover. and this is the w.'s covert 900 special hello and welcome to the show i'm stephen beardsley in berlin 26 weeks that's the typical recovery time for a covert 1000 patient at least according to the world health organization but not for all researchers are trying to figure out why some patients experience the disease more seriously and suffer more long term consequences here's the story of one such case. eric alderman is struggling to return to normal life the 51 year old was infected with cove at 19 in march it started with a cold and a bad cough and then a trip to the emergency room he was in an artificial coma for 2 and a half months now he's being treated at
3:46 pm
a neurological rehab clinic in the southern german town affair now and he has to relearn everything walking talking even how to set up all the things i have there for had no preexisting conditions. nothing. you know why it came straight out of the blue. oh i've been abroad i haven't been on a ski trip. my friends were fine. i just don't know how i got it. hall. outman is a sports reporter for a newspaper helping him get through all this is positive attitude and the support from his family his wife and his 4 children. 3 pastoral it was touch and go oh. there were times when i i almost didn't make it though they are hard. on the new role or just treating aardman
3:47 pm
dr friedly from rosen diagnosis or rebuild their dysfunction which can be directly attributed to men's cause in 1000 virus he also has car tissue on his lungs and no one knows if he'll ever recover from that. we see patients who developed weak hearts which they never previously suffered from we see patients with liver impairment which only slowly returns to normal function we see patients with distinct muscle paralysis due to nerve damage which only gradually heals us to see others whose muscle paralysis quickly subsides so we see quite a wide variety of symptoms affecting different organs. or gone. research on the illness is going on everywhere including at the clinic in nuremberg in the meantime it's become clear that the virus does attack the brain it can even cause strokes and make
3:48 pm
a person's immune system overreact. it's an illness that in many respects is unique and we learn new things every week and every month about it and will only be able to look back in a few years in order to say what we've done right and what we've done wrong. 10 percent of patients have a hard time with this disease just like eric alderman has 90 percent to recover even if it does take some time. eric opens wife told us recently that her husband continues to make progress since the story was filmed and can now feed himself again speaking and walking remain difficult however the good news is that he has been relocated to a clinic much closer to the family's home or let's talk about more about recovery times with yon hennig's he's a specialist for pulmonary medicine and co-leader the post code 1000 clinic at the university of hamburg medical center john thank you for joining us is there such a thing as postcode syndrome. well apparently there is
3:49 pm
right so we have reports of. thousands of patients reporting long term effects after the disease ranging. from t. mental problems but also restlessness so yes we have to say there seems to be something like that. are we talking about the damage from a serious case of covert for example of lung damage your heart damage or are we talking about an ongoing path ology for example some people saying that they're smell and taste go again months later. that's the that's the basic paradigm so that the virus is causing cellular damage and these this damage then translate into long term effects and long term problems but there seems to be an additional component to that that is not just explained by the direct cellular damage that we have to figure out and we know from many viral diseases that there are long term
3:50 pm
effects there convalescence coming along. might be neural problems so what we really have to figure out now is what specific to the virus what vishal but nevertheless i mean we we have probably thousands it might given the. 40000000 infected people we probably have hundreds of thousands of people with. patient long covered so that's going to be a real burden to our health care systems and we have to figure out a way to see these patients the clinic and to help them what are the common symptoms or conditions that we're seeing that might be lumped under long covert. well basically we're seeing a whole variety of symptoms so you might even call it a syndrome because basically the most commonly reported symptom seems to be fatigue but i'm sure it is a breath headache joint pain. so
3:51 pm
muscle pain so there's a lot of things but also we have anxiety we have a cognitive impairment so that is really a whole variety of plethora of symptoms that we're dealing with and that makes it so difficult to basically. treat the patients well because it is i mean we need a lot of specialists to really take care of the patients at the beginning of the study a 2 year study i have to ask you even though you're at the beginning do you have any sort of results or any sort of trends that you're seeing right now that are applicable to how we look at long coven. obviously since we just started a couple of weeks ago we don't have any solid data and that is basically the main problem we're dealing with all around the world in. long covert so what we're seeing is which is interesting so the z's in our court is not associated naturally with the severity of the acute infection so we have patients who are
3:52 pm
totally fine now after as you showed in your in your and movie in had a severe disease with acute london damage and still they recover completely so now the lung function are totally normal the patients are feeling better than ever and on the other hand we have they have seen pym patients with mild disease who are doing terrible right now they can't recover and are really there unable to work so that is a big problem and we don't know how that belongs together but others have shown that basically women seem to be at higher risk to have more severe long it if you're older you seem to be at risk to have long coated but really we have to find out what's going on and that's why we're trying to investigate for 2 years how the symptoms evolve and how. how we can help patients best at the beginning of this pandemic 1000 was really described as a respiratory illness based on what we know now how would you describe it. well it
3:53 pm
certainly starts in the lungs and we know that in fact the blood vessels and the kidney as a main target of the acute disease but from the long term symptoms the long term effects it seems to be a syndrome so it seems to really affect every part of the body so far the most just system the cognitive system even the psyche is part of it so. it is it is something that we really have to be really have to look into how this. how we can help these patients and really how we actually are able to see all these patients because this might delay them these patients might be in the hundreds of thousands or a yawn heggs university harvard medical center thank you so much thank you thanks very. and now it's time for your questions it's the part of the show where our science correspondent derrick williams as the questions you've posed to you tube
3:54 pm
channel over to derek. if you're diagnosed with coverage 19 and a recovering at tyrell what measures should you take to prevent your family from catching it as well the last thing you want to do if you catch cove at 19 is give it to your friends or family unfortunately that can prove challenging if you live in the same household on the positive side the evidence we have so far indicates that after your symptoms appear with every day that passes you'll likely grows less infectious though it's still grinding its way through studies at least currently we think that maximum infectiousness hits around the 1st day that you show symptoms if not before so if you tested positive after you developed symptoms and are now convalescing at home and the people around you have tested negative then the likelihood you'll infects them should as a rule drop by the day here's what authorities recommend you do 1st no visitors of
3:55 pm
course and both you and caregivers should wear masks and any interactions even if it's hard stay as isolated as you possibly can preferably in your own room with a window that can remain open if temperature is permitted door closed try to only eat there as well a dedicated set of silverware and plates is a good idea if you have the option in your home of multiple bathrooms and toilets then dedicate one to your use limit contact with caregivers if at all possible they really should belong to a high risk group they'll need to disinfect regularly leave any dirty laundry or bed linens unwashed for as long as possible and finally don't forget that caregivers will. also need to quarantine for as long as health authorities require even if that means long after your own sometimes have improved.
