t w i reporters. yesterday said. people we'd like to new to. this. news. now more than ever it's important to stay as healthy as possible cutting a balanced diet is can help. the world health organization suggest easing a variety of food from different nutritional groups. including plenty of fruits and vegetables. the w.h.o. also recommends eating a diet rich in whole grains ounce knots. limiting your intake of sugar salt and phos. practicing good food hygiene to avoid becoming sick of

food borne diseases. and limiting your consumption of alcohol. research shows imp. moving nutrition helps of course to mill immune function. so if you can't cope with 19 your immune system may be better equipped to fight. this. 1000 special i'm kate ferguson thanks for joining me the past few months have been tough living in constant fear of getting sick or losing your job can make you feel like you're not in control the one thing you do have some agency over though is your diet and as our next report shows good nutrition can have a major impact on health outcomes. duncombe not a. few really like hospital food but it's more than just

a question of taste you tradition is vital and most clinics and hospitals pay too little attention to a well balanced diet dr viola andreessen from hamburg has been dealing with the effects of poor hospital nutrition on patients for 20 years so i should mention these people simply are more at risk of being in the i.c.u. for longer of having to stay in hospital longer of increased complications or even more risk of dying from their disease. geriatric physician dr martin has many week patients and he sees the dangers of poor nutrition every day. especially in the elderly causes them to lose weight quickly and lose substance the body can no longer humans as quickly. get dizzy they fall over problems flare up in days and weeks when the food on liquids are not balanced and not sufficient and. also. the doctor's experience is borne out by

a major swiss study. 2000 participants with already poor nutrition took part in the study. 1000 were given regular hospital food the other half were given a healthier alternative within the group that received the superior diet outcomes were significantly better with 15 percent fewer complications and 27 percent fewer deaths a few days of hospital food won't harm most people but the very ill have often already lost weight and strength before hand here at the israelites hospital in hamburg a specialist nutrition team takes care of these high risk patients selecting them for special attention as soon as they're admitted in a 3 day period 21 of 53 newly admitted patients were noticed by the experts. there are various methods for measuring malnutrition this device measures how much strength there is in the hands. or how much muscle and fat tissue is on the back of

the hand. or even how is body tissue composed a special scale shows the proportion of muscle and. out of course blood values is their lack of iron sodium potassium or protein. patients who are malnourished are given extra care special nutrition filled shakes with cucumber or beetroot an extra protein or sweeten group unama and chocolates to improve strengthen charge the batteries for recovery. protein helps to heal wounds for example zinc serves to ward off infection. the key to making a full recovery is freshly prepared food rich in nutrients it clinics pay proper attention to nutrition a lot can be achieved through normal diet. sometimes it only takes

a little extra effort with nutrition to achieve great results here. let's talk now to professor anna come back now from the institute of nutritional sciences at the university of gates and professor wagner at the study we saw in the report just now really reiterated what an incredibly crucial role in nutrition it plays in our general health and as well our ability to heal do you think this issue is getting enough attention during the pandemic. i think the effect of nutrition on our house in the context of the current pandemic is under estimate it's a high number of people suffer from different diets dependent diseases such as obesity diabetes type 2 and hypertension and we know that these patients have a significantly higher risk because of the of course of 19 that means that through a sustainable change of unhealthy dietary habits towards a healthy well balanced diet will improve diet dependent diseases and similar tenuously would decrease the risk for severe course of the kovac $99.00 traction

however as a change in our nutritional behavior is a long term goal long term concepts need to be established and strongly promoted which is currently not the case i really want to zone in now on obesity which you mentioned it is of course a major risk factor for becoming seriously ill of from covert 1000 why is that exactly. so obesity is the main respective for the development of several come up into t. so that predispose force of the course of a convict $1000.00 infection that includes especially hypertension type 2 diabetes mellitus and. reach out well known to be responsible that people get seriously ill but also in the absence of these co-morbidities obese people are at a higher risk for a severe covered 90 course as most apiece persons are in a state of a pre-diabetes that also increases the risk of infection. and had also been some focus on the role that basement d.

could play in helping to protect against the virus what can you tell me about that . so for a well functioning immune system becoming day is of course essential sides of timmins and minerals and therefore in adequate supply with my to mindy is also essential to protect us against invading pathogens and also the against infections like sascoc 2 there are currently some discussions about daily supplementation with vitamin d. to support our immune system in the fight against cope with 19 however if we look into the currently available study says no evidence provided that a high dose vitamin d. supplementation. prevents from a soft cover to infection i would help to get a recovery from an x. and indeed what we should definitely avoid is state a fight i'm in d. deficiency in case of in a proof item in d. deficiency of course it would have me do you should be supplemented and in case

people would like to supplement vitamin d. although as i mentioned evidence is currently missing they should make sure that they not exceed the recommended daily upper limit of 4000 international units. ok and that of course they all have different dietary needs but what general advice would you have for a posting immunity best time. so that our immune system will work roy well i recommend to stick to a plant based diet containing high amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables that provide high amounts of essential vitamins and nutrients and i recommend also to consume whole grain foods when it comes to syria or bread and also include pulses in the day diet as they have fiber rates and furthermore it suggests to stick to vegetable oils with high amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids and what we should do is to lower the consumption of for example sugar sweetened beverages and streets

and also we should limit the consumption of meat ok and finally this is a question that's come up a few times is there any risk of being infected with the coronavirus through food. so the data that is currently available does not show any case where an infection occurred through quantum united truths however when we prepare food we should stick to the hygiene rules this means of course we should remember secularly wash our hands keep our fingers away from from the face and also if we prepare meat we should make sure that it is true all good tips faster and now from the institute of nutritional science is at the university of gaither thank you so much thank you. time night on for one of your questions about the coronavirus over till i find correspondence derek williams. what impact is the parent to make having on

the hunger crisis. predictably cove at 19 is making it a lot worse according to the united nations world food program which is the organization that was awarded this year's nobel peace prize the number of people worldwide who suffer from crisis level hunger could almost double by the end of this year it also says that the region hit hardest so far is latin america that's followed by central and southern africa and and oxfam estimates that if we don't do more to limit the social and economic impact of the virus up to 12000 people a day could soon be dying from the effects of undernourishment just to compare even on the very worst days for mortality so far and the pandemic there have never been more than 10000 tatts attributed to the virus in 24 hours i think that the most

this has aspect of this crisis is that with the exception of a few countries food is actually available and many of the places that are suffering most famine isn't being only driven by a lack of food but also by the simple fact that people no longer have the means to buy it the hunger crisis isn't only expanding rapidly because of disruptions in supply chains although that's certainly contributing to the problem it's also due to dropping income among many of the world's most vulnerable the poor who simply can't afford to buy food for themselves and their families anymore and the crisis isn't just limited to regions that face problems before the pandemic began tobit 19 is now also impacting food. security for people in the middle and high income countries from from india to brazil to the u.s.

. and if you have a question for derek you can email feedback dotting the shot to w dot com using the word experts in the subject line for me and the team it's goodbye and take care. is a master of the art of confrontation this is wrong measuring of furball combat doesn't mean you're going to see some docs like the undisputed champion of tough political talk trying to frighten people you know crucified everybody understand there is such a beautiful picture the conflict zone and join tim sebastian as he holds the powerful to account this is a fix for your whichever way you like to spin the conflict zone. next on.

a peculiar. meaning i mean a legal teaching you leave you hanging. how will climate change affect us and our children. w dot com slash water. here in brazil everything is ok for you preparing for the military to intervene we have a military government brazil is in the news these days for all the wrong reasons allegations of high level corruption uncontrolled illegal logging and finds raging in the amazon rain forest added so that's the 3rd highest figure in the world for cope with 19 infections my guest this week from brasilia is the country's vice president how well raul how did the government 'd let it all gets so bad.

vice president how milton were our welcome to conflict zone a few months ago you told journalists everything's under control we just don't know who's just how bad is the chaos in your administration. everything is ok in our administration that was a kind of a joke that i used to say ok it was not very straight for war war that i put it was a joke ali a joke because here in brazil everything is ok. what sort of joke was it you had to health ministers who were gone in the space of a single month during a health emergency and justice minister resigned and education minister hurries off to the us just days after stepping down from the job saying i don't want to fight

leave me alone don't provoke me isn't that enough chaos for you now it is not things that happen in any government ok the way that their vacation minister went out well it was not a big problem for us ok and you know brazil is a very different country and well some things that happen here that happen in other countries it's our culture so why did you write an op ed may the 14th you said no country in the world has inflicted more harm on itself than brazil and you warned that institutional damage was driving the country into chaos you were the one who mentioned the chaos and drew attention to it you said we've become incapable of the essentials in facing any problem sitting at the table talking and debating that was a powerful indictment of your own administration wasn't it because your leaders like you who are supposed to unify your country. well the country is

suffering what happens all around the war there isn't an excess of of tripoli is politico the political sides are all very glad to see polarized the divide is a lot of polarization in politics but. our administration is running the country well and so far as to day things are getting better and the relationship between the different powers are getting each day better and better so we had some difficult time some months ago but now everything's ok really and added to that the president his family and several associates are need deep in criminal and legislative investigations is that ok to. this question it's still under investigation and of course it's than the hands of the judiciary system and we

have to wait for the disposed to get tweets sent by warning about all this chaos as you did last may were you preparing for the military to intervene and start to dealing with the chaos in june the president openly floated the idea of military intervention saying the armed forces would not accept absurd decisions by the supreme court of congress is not was not a threat. that's not it that's not true 1st of all them and force are aligned with their constitutional mission and they are not stepping out of the it syncs here in brazil. are going to use moose and well and. we have to make it very clear that democracy is a value of not only for mr bowser not his government but us to our am and forced to so there is no any end here and there is no threat to the supreme court or of the

system here in brazil and the fact that he attended rallies outside military bases when his supporters called for an armed intervention to get rid of governors judges and lawmakers who imposed lockdowns in response to the pandemic no threat there either i suppose well the question of the pandemic people have to understand that brazil it's a very unequal country where we're unequal socially economically and of course geographically so since the beginning we depend emic and we've been trying to deal with their health but we stay economic curve and with this curve that's the way that mr bush or not a government dealt with this pandemic well he attended rallies which called for an armed intervention didn't he to get rid of governors judges and lawmakers what's that if not a threat to democracy you want to play in the us it's not a threat to democracy but the governor of south paulo thought it was going to. the

governor of south paolo said brazil i said wakes up every day afraid of aggression to democracy to the constitution to the congress to the supreme court president both n.r.o. he said stop this endless aggression. this happens because there is polarization in politics the governor of some poll opposed to mr burleson out of this is much more talk down that say action when is it angel here's the happens it's a new way to people behave that dangerous it's dangerous to have power to do what you mean but nobody has the power to do what they mean we swards here in brazil plenty of people seem to think you're doing politics through fear these days eduardo cost of pinto from the federal university of rio he says this is the problem of having a government filled with military personnel during an institutional crisis the

military will fight tooth and nail to stay in power and they have guns which makes political mediation difficult why fill the government with all these military personnel if you're not planning on the military taking over power 1st of all it's got to be very clear that we are not a military government mr both are not and i were elected by more than 57000000 brazilians ok and of course we have some people into gaza that come from the military but they are here sinking for the good of brazil and respecting our constitution and our laws the federal audit court is now investigating what it calls the excessive presence of the military and civil public service and it is excessive isn't it the court said in june there were as many as 3000 military personnel in government jobs what do you need 3000 of the military in government jobs for. well 1st of all it's have to be very clear that any government in brazil

has more been to 2000 military in government jobs because we have a security cabinet that belongs to that a president that has more than 1000 military people and india's skull and of military people those who work at the defense ministry so we don't have such a huge number of military people. dead in a civil jobs in our government that's some kind of there's information that came through some different channels and are all these military personnel qualified to do the jobs that doing i'm thinking of the current health minister as well oh he's an active duty general who followed orders from the president is that his only qualification he doesn't know anything about health or drugs does he well you don't need to be a doctor to be the house minister why do you need to be it's mandible understands the public administration and more that you don't mocked up with sec or option and

of course mr percivale laws are not about logistics that was the main problem in our house minister and he knows how to a bay orders more than the other health ministers the city he knows to do as he's told that's his main qualification is it well he has the qualifications and he has been do we have very good job and this has been that they asked about all their secretaries of the different states here in brazil they are all very pleased with the job that mr puzzle has been doing because all the necessary support for to fight big in control depend them has reach it every point in our car and our country. mr vice president mr paulson r.-o. has never hidden his admiration for brazil's former military dictatorship do you share that admiration well we had

a period of military presidents that lasted about 20 years they had they did a very good sings for brazil another sings they didn't go so well and this is history and history can only be judged it. time passes we are still some 50 years away from that period we need some more 50 years so that this period can be judged well well during the vote to impeach former president dilma rousseff mr ball so narrow dedicated his balance to one of the regime's most notorious torturers this man was convicted of torture during the 21 years of military dictatorship last year your president called him a national hero 502 cases of torture were identified in the unit he ran you have nice heroes in your administration these days don't you. first of all we are don

we don't agree we started torturers is not. a politics that our country is simpatico to it and of course when there is a lot of people that fought they were but guerrillas judy in the late sixty's and beginning of the 7th of last century and many of these people have been wrongly accused of being torturers so colonel carlos alberto was wrongly accused and you also think of him as a hero do you despite the cases the 500 cases of torture which were attributed to his unit. what i can tell you about him and carlos are back to brilliant used to he was my commanding officer in the late seventy's of their last century and he was a man on or and a man who respect the human rights of his subordinates so bent of sings that people tell about him i can tell you because i had a very close friendship with this man that's not true so he was wrongly convicted

then of torture was it it was all made up while the trial was fixed 1st of all. i'm not aligned with stuart and of course many people are still alive from that period and all of them want to put sings in the way that they saw that's why i told you before that we have to wait for all these sectors to disappear so debt history can make its parts and of course what really happened during that period that period come through well given that you and your president are not prepared to condemn the torturers only torture can you not understand why so many people in brazil and internationally doubts your commitment your administration's commitment to democracy and you understand that well democracy it's one of the national of our national pearman and objectives we

don't see brazil out of democracy our main objective today is make of brazil the most brilliant democracy in death out there. really and with people like al gusto hell a no minister of institutional security another retired general he's on record as saying he believes it's up to the military to put this house in order this house meaning brazil another threat you have all these people who are prepared to make threats but you say there really isn't a threat i'm confused mr vice president gore. like i like i've been telling you this makes parts of the discussion that we have the polarization in politics ok it's must really wards then actions because you want name one single action from mr bozo not a government that was a real real real scratch to democracy here in brazil but words matter in politics don't they you play it's all down but even the supreme court's chief justice d.a.'s

tough only warned in june about the president's dubiousness about democracy he said dubiously that's not a great characteristic for a democratic leader is it he's dubious about democracy i think there is no way to sink. there isn't some dubious. feelings of the mr bozo nodded to democracy including last saturday for instance mr bush or not and mr tough fully aware eating together in a dinner so if mr koppel he had any doubt about the way mr bush on our behave they would not be together in the heat in their house in his house by the port but that . your former justice minister sergio morrow accused the president of interfering in an investigation into his family basically attempting to obstruct justice this is a highly damaging allegation from a minister who used to be well liked and respected by mr bowles and was in it well

mr morell may dislike you zation views are being investigated through there to supreme court we are waiting for this investigation to come through ok of course we have to wait for dead it is process to end i myself. will work i'm side by side with president bush for not joining all this time and i can tell you that he did not interfere in the federal police to do work and to federal police so that he could help some of his sons that are being accused of some wrongdoings how do you know he didn't did he tell you that he didn't have i know that well well i've been with mr bozo not. to tell us and we've been working closely together and i can tell you he is not interfering in

the work of the federal police and federal police is doing our job they are investigating all this case that our system is investigating the problems that one of his sons has so i see that this process is going their way all process go here in brazil. mr vice president how important is truth in your administration let's take the issue of deforestation and the fires this year in the amazon august the 10th you said government agents were executing urgent measures to contain deforestation and fires a day later president both sonera said the exact opposite you won't find any spots of far he said nor a quarter of a head deforested the report that the amazon is burning is a lie in fact it was his statement that was the lie wasn't it because the amazon was clearly burning at that point well i don't and i what happens and we've been

working very hard to stop any illegal deforestation and illegal fires that happen in the amazon what has been clear is deforestation has been increasing since to tell us and 12 accelerate the last year since that 2nd half of this month of june last june deforestation has been decreasing so the work is beginning to pay now and of course we still have the problem of the fires we are in the dry season there i see this one year to year is beginning to be very bigger and bigger and of course we have to have more resources we have to put more a source in the fight to hand against the legalese that happens in the amazon area yeah but when mr bronson our august 11th said there is no fire the report that the amazon is burning is a lie that itself was a lie wasn't true was it simply wasn't true so by lying about these things

what happened. i know what happens in the amazon for the question of fires it's very clear we a lot of people that we have some more than 500000 farmers in the amazon area and some 5 percent of dinner about some 25000 farmers they work their fields with fire and that's why our that's a very. system to work the fields so we have to make them we stop this so debt. don't grow year to year the fact is these are the worst 5 in a decade on day in september you know satellites recorded more than 32000 hotspots in the rain forest 61 percent rise over the same month last year and in both september and august when you would tell the president was telling us there were no 5 the blaze matched all suppost last year's single month's high so the science

director for your amazon environmental research institute said we have had 2 months with a lot of fun it's already worse than last year satellites can see it why do you deny it's worse than last year now we don't deny we don't deny anything ok september of 20 has been a war since september last year but like i told you before some 70 percent of these fires are raging atheist that have been over read it before asked and many many many years ago that are occupied by farmers only one served of them are happening in a test that they wouldn't do should not to happen and we a fight and then since the beginning of their day a green brazil to operation that we lounge and since the month of may where we stop at some $6000.00 points of fire so we have been doing our jobs. you've been doing

your jobs but. not very effectively it seems according to reports on the ground is the fires are that bad and there are still $32000.00 hotspots in the rainforest the 61 percent rise over the same month last year that's not very effective is it well like i told you this season is very dry so it's a moment that fire happens and of course you say 32000 hotspots 32000 hotspots in an age of 5 median square kilometers i think you can agree with me that's not so huge are people watch telly around the wood ok because the amazon is very huge so what's being passed in to all around there were that the whole amazon is in fire and that's not happened there fires happen like i told you in ages that have been already before asked that since many many years ago mr vice president the accusation from human rights groups is that you of ministration has deliberately

undermined the efforts by your own federal agents to stop deforestation human rights watch says that while federal authorities impose thousands of fines for illegal deforestation a presidential decree has allowed most of them to go on paid what's the point of doing that no we don't comply we've seen the galaxies in the amazon by for instance our. environmental legislation to say that any property in the amazon can explore 20 percent of the sadia they order 80 percent has to be preserved but if you let wheat will be edging away with fines you let people get away with not paying fines why almost everyone gets away with not paying well lines well. so if people don't pay fines they gave the don't pay they fight defiance the land that they have is going to be arrested but so far as today we have a problem of regulation of the land tenure we need to regulate these this is

a big problem that we still have in brazil ok. we are dealing with in the national council that i'm the head of the council that's one of my main objectives i've been working together we sell our culture minister so death we can go ahead with this because it's very important that we solve this problem because only repression against people who are making sings wrong it's not and daily gol it is we need to advance with their land can you regulation well why should these criminal groups involved in deforestation stop when the when your penalties are taken away and they're not even obliged to pay fines means everyone gets away with it with no penalties which is exactly what you wanted a mr ball scenario made no secret of his intentions he openly attacked his own environmental agencies which he called industries of fines and promise to end their

festival of sanctions so he made it quite clear that he wanted to take away the sanctions take away the punishment and let all the illegal logging go ahead he was quite clear about that. both the night he spoke about death when who as a candidate and a candidate you know it speaks about a lot of seems oh i was there it wasn't true it wasn't true there is. all the reports going to get around say that's exactly what he's done we put in some $300000000.00 in fines that's a lot of money ok so our environmental agents they have to freedom to do their job they are putting fines on everybody that are doing illegalities. well that's not the reports coming from the ground mr vice president and final word on the pandemic when it comes to the coronavirus you have around $4700000.00 confirmed cases the 3rd highest in the world after the u.s. and india more cases than all of europe not

a great record is it well like i told you before brazil has a lot of inequalities ok we are not an equal country we have problems in the social and economic and then drug you know of course we have our geography here in brazil so we try to fight their best way possible we regret most 150000 brazilians that we lost their lives but we have cured more than 4000000 people here in brazil so why think that despite this number of cases and number of deaths we dealt a very good wish to spend them a crisis how much how much use was it for the president to call it just a measly code and say to people i think almost all of you will catch it one day what are you afraid of about being afraid of dying or having how long term health problems or blood clots not much he has not much sympathy for his people have seen

. of course we prepare i wouldn't have been always concerned about the people the president since the beginning of the pandemic said it very clear we have to take care of their health and we have to take care of the economy because we know that a lot of people year in brazil they well they have very difficult to wear and their money because we are in that we live in a period of crisis that we don't have jobs for everybody people leave in one informal way and from night to day just people lost any chance to have some kind of revenue so the president who knows the common people knew that about all right vice president how will tomorrow thank you very much for being on conflicts on thank you . thank you if you've. give
