for this fight for physical disability. welcome to. you could join us authorities in india have begun poultry and putting containment measures in place after cases of bird flu were reported across the country more than 10 states have been affected though no case of transmission to humans has been reported the crisis comes as the government prepares to roll out a vaccination program against covert 19. children reports. the 48 year old is worried his work has come to a standstill suddenly. he owns

a. largest market called the god in delhi. the state government has ordered a temporary shutdown of this market to prevent the spread of bird flu. in the past few days the indian media was flooded with pictures and reports of various breeds of birds dying in different parts of the country crews were dropping dead trees and corpses of ducks were found floating in water samples were collected from numerous sites which tested. but you also know when i was going into ns are usually gets transmitted during the course even from my greatest species of birds to domestic birds including poultry and wives but multiple states in the country so far have confirmed the outbreak of this disease as india is still dealing with. and the discovery of new variants the outbreak of the few has caused fresh concerns among people. i mean this scare the poetry industry has been hit the hardest with

the delhi government banning the import of life chicken and putting a halt on the gospel markets operations. this move have affected the likelihood of poultry traders like ishant and his business but less than a year after the call the $1000.00 pandemic and lock downs caused a huge drop in demand. we managed to resume about 70 percent of our work but now again the work in diagnosed you're not earning anything you're having to be the labor cost our households are suffering. is shot says that shutting the market wasn't overly he 15. his views are echoed by veterinarian professor campbell who says that there has never been accused of but few transmitting to humans in the country and that poultry is safe to conceal if handled and cooked properly the 1st case of bird flu in india happened in 2006 since then every year

there is an outbreak. understand this year there is more panic because not only the country but the entire world has been dealing with been pandemic and then there is also rumors of flu on social media there just like i don't know what is this why this may also get transmitted to humans by consuming poultry or eggs people are just frightened. it shut says he had thought that traders like him would make up for the losses they suffered during the lockdown in the winter season when demand for 40 products usually rises but this sudden hiatus has dashed his hopes. about 2 months for poultry market to get back on track. it will take more time for the prices to stabilize and people are already cautioned so has grown no artists and now with the bird flu might not want to take a risk by continuing to and this dying. to treat us like in the past year had been

a tough one the new year hasn't been any better but he's desperately hoping his business is going to cover in the coming months. and in relief for if charged and traitors like him the delhi government has just announced that there was a port poultry market can now reopened but for more on the rising cases of bird flu in india i'm joined by did a bit correspondent when you got your degree in delhi when you don't post the government responding to these rising he says well the indian government on its part has been repeatedly trying to emphasize to people that book 2 or even flu is something that happens in the country every year during the winter season then the then the migrating species of birds make their way through the country and they are trying to show people that this is something that happens every year and there's nothing to be worried about the state governments do operate taking certain decisions of their own like they also are banning the import of like chicken from other affected areas and as you know the delhi government they would rather be shut

down each of bigots chicken market for some time but have just announced that it can be opened with certain precautions. so the government is trying to assure people but our people are shored are they afraid. i won't say they're afraid but yes they are a little concerned which can be called an offer effect of dealing with the pandemic for almost a year now but there are the good part of it i'd often they're fine to switch off i question of people that as long as you maintain hygiene as long as you take precautions there's nothing to be what about as long as you cook for us and what you are that's probably nothing is going to happen. if you talk about 3rd coronavirus or pandemic and india's beginning its vaccine ruled out from a sense of duty will be affected by these birds who kisses. does not look like i mean these are 2 separate things there are a lot begins on 16 john gray saturday and the 4th round of the rollout with actually new product i think health workers and that are on with 89 sites which

have been chosen for this only in the national capital or private and government hospitals the 2nd down with focus on are the frontline locals afterwards the pride will go to senior citizens people who are about 50 years of age or people with cool moment it is it's only after this and this is completed when the rest of the population with the add in the starved alexy and of course we'll be following along this vaccination program which is going to be one of the world's largest and we'll have more reports on this but thank you so much for this at the moment when you're not on the beat in delhi. in cambodia are the toneless and sustain generations of fishermen but the competition of natural and manmade changes are already impacting their. cambodia's tong lace up one of the biggest inland fisheries on earth more than

a 1000000 people rely on this vast like for their livelihoods once renowned for its abundance of fish extensive damming up stream and climate change have taken their toll on the ecosystem. level a to do battle here are facing difficulties because the water is local and there are no fish so people on the lake have to change their way of life if they have lots of children maybe they'll have to work on shore at a construction site or in a factory because the lake is running out of fish. or that. the lakes richard college sustained by a rare seasonal reversal during the dry season the lake drains into the mekong river when the rains come in may the powerful flow of the mekong pushes water back into town my sap swelling the lakes volume by up to 5 times but last year water levels were down 25 percent from averages saying just 20 years ago.

troll the main challenge for our fishing community is climate change. for the past 2 years the water levels from the mekong river have changed dramatically. but. as ton lace up dries up so too do the incomes of thousands of families. a fisherman like me who lives on the lake depends on water fish and forest while the 3 are running out what can we hope for. faced with low fish stocks the villages of coach event are forced to grow crops to supplement their living. in one way the forest here used to be so dense. but now the trees are gone and people grow chilies here to make money because they can't catch fish during the dry season they get. more than flow in the tunnel asap

one giant problem. in no limit to see. if the changes if you count. how will climate change affect us and our children. w dot com slash water. one of our most basic human needs 6. when coronaviruses make something as simple as a kiss or a hug we're so used to interacting with people and having touch and without that right now you know we're really at a loss so how can we get the physical intimacy we need experts have offered advice

from who we should be doing it with to how we should be doing it for many of us 6 has become a burden for others a real problem. i once told me purple means sexually frustrated desperate times call for desperate measures but which measures are the right ones here's some advice from my colleague and sexpert kaz at the 77077 percent e w's youth show for africa. i have to quit as i could for a sick is crazy but what is it what's going on what's happening talk to me they honestly can't take it anymore josh is driving me crazy ok the tale was happening well you know we've been together for like almost a him and everything was going great but once a lockdown fact that things just started to change with him especially after he lost his job. sounds like you grieving and i can't imagine what you're going

through is easy but i see what you're saying if you're just saying i've i've tried and tried to make him comfortable about the situation i'm still able to cover the bill. i just don't get it he's become so desperate and he sits in front that he'll day we haven't had sex in months. i just don't know what to do more have you tried having an open conversation with him because he didn't tell me want to help but if i even knew what the problem there. that's a tough one but also quite common i mean i think josh might be depressed. maybe a form of intervention might get someone professionally preferably come to use it have a conversation between the 2 view you know because like you know some men struggle to open up because they think it makes them look we can we have the patriarchy to thank for that maybe he feels like he can no longer act as the provider which also traditionally is expected of men. but he needs to learn that he still values like

given time and opportunity to heal i think that's the best you can do but what if nothing changes oh only if you refuse to listen then it's on you you have to decide if it's the kind of environment you want to foster relationship is going to happen next time things go tough you need to take care of your own mental health too. i suppose that makes sense. but what about the said heck they didn't. care why. if it wasn't going to be normal to the effect great would have from depression believe me but when patient with you know what in the meantime you can meet your own me. yeah ok that make that that ok enough about me how about you when you do really oh i'm going late. for such a raquel pill joins us from my hometown brisbane raquel good to see the telly is

your best sexual partner yourself during these difficult times. depends on you a single person looking for someone you are or are you already in a relationship so if you're single what you reckon well you just single then you've really got to consider the safety issue we've depend emic so i guess for me it doesn't necessarily mean that you why your best partner if i want to have sex with someone i would be wanting to have that conversation about safety have they been checked for coronavirus would they consider getting checked prior to engaging in sexual activity but isn't that something that will scare people away. look when it comes to law in relationships anything with care is a way for willing to go away but i think you feel if this is something that you want and i think that conversation is warranted if the same conversation around safe sex wearing condoms it's not we need to have that conversation what about what

the terrence higgins trust advised in the u.k. back in august last year to avoid kissing where a face covering and choose positions that odd face to face during sex that sounds a little complicated. it really does and i think it's the dead fives that i would give is have a conversation it's a lot more logical to you to talk about safety to be open with your partners around whether you've been tested around the really you would consider being tested those considerations to avoid intimacy that's just not feasible it's not something that we can as human beings do for too long we aren't truly motivated to connect and i think the best advice is let's connect in a safe manner how long is it healthy to abstain from sex. look i don't have that number for you i would just say look again as humans we are intrinsically

motivated to do it so being told that we can't do it i don't think that's the right thing the right thing would be how do we do it raquel what about cyber sex why not seem to see it the key element is intimacy we can be intimate online so i think that's a good alternative especially for couples to have been separated by the pain that make to keep up the intimacy i would say online sex but also conversation so it's a way to keep connected any i have actually heard from people who have been kept apart the found other ways to connect that their relationship actually got better out how they had to get better can you give me some examples yet if you go better because well one they had to be a little bit more creatively of how they connected but isn't it just sex but also communication and in that human occasion they were able to tell each other what they like and don't like and sometimes in that when we act together in the heat of

sex when we might not be able to communicate what we want but in that online environment they had that opportunity to communicate and say well like there's i don't like that more and couples lots of couples are in crisis right now it's a pressure cooker scenario happen you save a relationship in times like these. yeah it's look couples who are in conflict right now are couples who already had conflict in their relationship and because of the pain that makes those conflicts sort of came to surface one thing that i often say is to watch for the ratio of interaction that you have with your partner so it should be a ration between 5 to one so for every one negative thing and i believe interaction that you have with your partner that you need 5 positive interactions so that balance tractions of your pattern of feeling about how you communicate with them mean that instead of using you statements so you don't do these or you make me

upset about this use i statements talk about yourself and how you few turn things around so you can address conflict. can you just leave us with one more piece of advice that will get us through this crisis make us perhaps a little less frustrated yeah one piece of advice. i think i think is safety is the feeling that it's about brain bothering you have a conversation with your partner about safety i often hear people talk to me about how how do i be safe how do i change things have a conversation for what it is to be safe change or broaching if need be because if you are going to be locked down you need to start communicating a lot more you have different help heal thank you very much for joining us today a look at some of the numbers now and where around the 2000000 mark of officially

record cover deaths worldwide that's according to figures from the johns hopkins university the united states accounts for nearly one in 5 deaths globally as you can see them it's followed by brazil and india mexico and the you kate. and looking at the countries with the highest proportion of deaths in a population san marino has more than 1900 deaths per 1000000 belgium is next and slovenia easily and both india and had to go over that time for your questions on the coronavirus of a 2 hour science correspondent derek podiums. should pregnant women get these new vaccine. i've often been asked how dangerous it 19 can be for a pregnant woman or her unborn baby and i've talked about that topic

a few times over the last 10 months but i've never discussed this aspect of it whether trying to prevent catching the disease could pose a danger so so let's look at what reliable sources are saying about vaccines and pregnancy i think the most important thing to be aware of is that we just don't have as much information on pregnant women receiving approved covert 19 vaccines as we do for other groups because women who knew they were pregnant weren't included in the large scale trials that lead to emergency vaccine approvals of course some women became pregnant in the course of those trials and i found no reports indicating that they or their unborn babies suffered any ill side effects attributable to a vaccine candidate but the fact is we still simply know less about what might

happen to a pregnant woman being banks unaided then we do about other groups oh so so that's quite rightly causing health care authorities to to adopt a cautious approach the general consensus among leading organizations including the w.h.o. and the c.d.c. is that there's still just not enough evidence to recommend 19 back scenes to pregnant women on a wide scale but they also make exceptions for women at increased risk of exposure for example frontline health care workers those women may consider being vaccinated after talking to an expert about everything we know. so far about covert 19 and pregnancy that's because we also know that pregnant women are in more danger of developing severe forms of the disease if they catch it if women from those high exposure groups choose to be vaccinated and agree to be tracked their data will

flow into further studies which should in the near future tell us a lot more about any possible dangers many experts currently seem optimistic though that the benefits of vaccines will outweigh any risks for pregnant women too but the jury is still out. thanks for watching stay safe and see you next week.
