all the nurses from a government hospital and n.g.o.s are our goal is to help the civil disobedience movement succeed and ensure the military system fails we health workers are leading this campaign to urge all the government staff to join the c.d.c. . our message to the public is that we aim to completely abolish this military regime and we have to fight for our own destiny the. protests have now spread across the country after the army chiefs seize power on february 1st the military detained leader and son suchi and dozens of her party members accusing them of election fraud demonstrate is a demanding her release and the restoration of her government the rallies have so far been paced full on like bloody crackdowns during widespread protests in previous decades but pressure is building the protests are growing bolder and demonstrators continue to be matched with a great show of force for more thorough. and let's get more on that we are joined now by alone

a filmmaker and an activist in the capital young gone who happens to be obscuring his face for safety reasons welcome to the program and thank you so much for joining us 1st i'd like to ask you for your reaction we are hearing that the military sent some clear warnings to demonstrators what do you make of that and do you think that it will deter the protests. thank you sarah yes if the warnings worries us a little bit because in the beginning the ad most fear was mostly. protesters or mostly calling again untied military dictatorship but in the afternoon there were a few pro-military supporters and people were at the content or so but as soon as there was also a vision of protests people on social media were trying to encourage people to avoid confrontation and to you know to stay calm and not to get into fights and then sharing techniques in case of emergency so things got. here

and now at this point people are it's 5 30 in the evening and people are going back home today things were calm or. calm are calm and i'm you saw it but tell us a little bit about what you have been witnessing on the streets there in myanmar. right so so far in in young though there has not be any violence but then people were afraid because of the latter but i didn't mean same time some civilians they want to cooperate with police and military so we can see a lot of social media these days as some people are trying to encourage people to provide water and food to the security forces as well and that's something really interesting the idea that. because of the population. with the security

forces but one thing for sure what we can see is there's a huge gap between the community and then law enforcement officers. so rono but right now i think. despite. the. concern fear is i mean we're seeing protesters there are facing water cannons from the authorities for example you know they're coming out on to the streets despite all of that what do the people in myanmar want for their future what are the demonstrators. i mean if people could any do anything between legal framework they would play to do but i think this mechanism that we have is not fair on set so people directly want to change this mechanism so whoever the concert is called people want a government that takes for the day of action for our group that lower education economic you know so so well so and well being and in general that people want

justice and peace between you know community minorities different religions will say and also dollars the same the billions the lawmakers that's what people people want and right now people are people in protesting on the streets to. show their opposition against dictatorship and military reagents and for us for international community we would like to encourage to. take considerations the other or sort of to them assumptions because. i thought since. the discussion if you will follow up well there was was also that scientists it's not a beneficial for their citizens and that we have to suffer from it so we will also lead to encourage international communities to find ways and alternatives to help our country on this situation monet filmmaker and activist joining us from young to

learn and me on mark thank you so much for your time. well now we have to another part of the world because at least 18 people are dead and more than $150.00 missing in the northern part of india where a himalayan well they sure broke off on leashing a torrent of water that crashed into a town. now local authorities in this area which are con state they say that rescue workers have begun recovering bodies of the dead the flooding happens so quickly that people have no time to react that search efforts for survivors are still underway. joining as rescue workers recover several survivors but the search is far from over some dead bodies have already been found several groups of workers are still believed to be trapped in tunnels unable to get out. of us if it's him since this morning we

have intensified also search operation in a 2nd tunnel we have information that around 30 people are trapped there and around 300 police officers are deployed they're clearing the tunnel so that people can be rescued. according to information from the local authorities around 170 people are missing 12 people were rescued by a team on sunday from another tunnel. they say is the moment a small dam was swept away after part of a mountain glacier upstream broke unleashing a torrent of water and a brief one hydroelectric plant was destroyed another under construction was damaged or thora he said they were able to prevent further damage downstream by opening the gates to release water the tragedy occurred in northern india and the top of an area of the state of to rock out and this region in the himalayas is prone to flash floods and landslides in 2013 monsoon floods here killed 6000 people

and led to calls for a review of development projects in the state of thora he say the main flood danger has passed but the work for rescue teams here is only just begun. well south africa has suspended its rollout of the oxford astra zeneca coronavirus vaccine after a small clue. trials suggested that it offered only minimal protection against a mild to moderate illness from the couvade variant that originated in the country south africa received more than a 1000000 doses of the vaccine and had planned to start inoculating frontline health care workers in the coming days authorities say that the vaccination program will proceed in the coming weeks but with vaccines by johnson and johnson and pfizer biotech instead. of get more we are joined by professor salim of dual karim he is south africa's leading infectious disease specialist and one of the chief medical advisor is to the south african government thank you so much for your time

this afternoon sir why is suspend the astra zeneca vaccine rollout is it limited protection better than 0 protection. good afternoon so when we developed our overall axion strategy we always wanted to have a diversity of candidate since so as a senator was one of the candidates we selected based on the evidence that was available that showed it was effective against both mild and severe disease including hospitalization however the study that was just published that was just released yesterday it showed that some of the if you can see again smile a disease that is quite low and that's supported by look moderates the evidence is well now we are uncertain about where the master's and it go vaccine also prevents the disease and hospitalization against the 5 a one y. d.

to vandy and that is prevalent in south africa and so in that kind of uncertainty we thought it prudent to put a delay on the rollout of b.s. isn't it vaccine until we can establish the processes right click the information to this this ok and there has been some reaction we have to say to that decision professor sara gilbert for example oxford's lead vaccine developer she said that the vaccine should still protect against severe disease that she has at least optimistic that that is still the case in the meantime we've mentioned your frontline workers your health care workers they were 1st in line to get this vaccine and that was supposed to happen in the in the coming days so what do you tell them now that it's on hold given that they are facing that risk on a daily basis. of course i wouldn't expect investigators to say anything negative about the product but the reality is that the speculation doesn't help us

we need evidence and the way in which we propose to collect that evidence is to actually roll out the answers and go back see it in a stepwise manner where the 1st group that gets the vaccine we would assess hospitalization rates and if we find it's below the threshold and we will continue the rollout of the asters and a comeback see if we find it's above that social will stop the astra zeneca vaccine because we would like the approach that we take to be based on evidence we would want to see as rolling this out to healthcare workers only to find out later it doesn't prevent hospitalization and severe disease as for the health care workers we have managed to secure some doses of the johnson and johnson banks in and those will start to be all about within the next week or 2 so it we haven't really impacted that much on our initial starting date what we have impacted is our scale up we now have to take

a more prudent approach to scale up why are we scaling up the johnson and johnson vaccine we will in paddle out also be doing so with the asters and it had to assess its efficacy against hospitalization just briefly tell us what makes you think that the other vaccines will have better results. so as it stands right now the johnson and johnson vaccine has actually been studied in south africa in a very large child that included the elderly as well and so they already have the evidence to show that against the variant in south africa no one has 5 or one y. e 2 that the johnson and johnson vaccine is education suggests that and it's 85 percent if a case is against hospitalization and severe disease so on that basis we feel quite confident to move forward with the johnson and johnson we do however want to ensure we have a diversity of products and so we do need to assess its effect to the efficacy of

each new vaccine whether it's has to seneca or pfizer or any of those would have to be assessed as part of the rollout and while you are assessing that advocacy i just like to ask it because i mean you know your hold of the rollout of the astra zeneca as a lot of people nervous because it could potentially you know have wide ranging consequences for other initiatives do you suggest that other countries should follow south africa's example because for example that this particular vaccine is a major component of the initial kovacs global vaccine rollout which covers you know about $150.00 countries around the world mostly with well aware and lower middle income a condom is. i think each country will have to make its own decision right now so that's because i'm a slightly different position because the 51 white v 2 they haven't which is the variant that is able to escape immunity constitutes about 80 to 90 percent of our

circulating biota so i was situation is different how decisions should not really apply to other senses in other countries and those today also have a dominance of the same period so our decision is very insulated it's not related to the specifics of the vaccine them in there are other challenges that we asked isn't it a backseat in the availability of safety days a levy and so on so those are issues that need to be a result by they can lead to us from our point of view we need to know the vaccine is efficacious in preventing people from getting severe illness and that's what we really feel we thank you so much for joining us to walk us through the decision making process and the plans going forward south africa's leading infectious disease specialists of the of bill karim we appreciate it thank you. now the city of melbourne where the australian open tennis tournament is officially under way some say it would have happened amid the pandemic but with tough measures

and fermented by the australian government to beat kovan 1000 life under lockdown is almost a distant memory that. while large parts of the world are still under lockdown this is what's happening on australia's beaches. off with the mask and into a swimsuit australians are now enjoying themselves as if the pandemic never existed and in their country that's almost true it's been a long time since there's been a significant number of coronavirus cases. what's next. is a. harsh

lock downs are now a thing of the past. and the tightest restrictions. the city was shut down with a comprehensive curfew and stringent enforcement. testing. they're known around the world but. it also a substantial fines for violations. because it puts us back. to protect the. community cases that we're not aware of lock down and. even. sometimes not permitted to return home from overseas and tourists are banned altogether but there are exceptions tennis players here for the australian open had

this weekend western areas got more than their fair share of the snow more than they've seen in years but still less than was forecast. this expressway had to be closed highway police in the west and northwest responded to hundreds of accidents thankfully just a few serious ones. it's in for the snows drifting and another drifts there ice we simply don't know where to start or when this will end the cars are stuck on gradients and parking spaces and some even in the middle of intersections where they just can't move forward despite their winter tires are document formats in central germany frozen rain stopped traffic on a major expressway snowplows and grid are out in force. the weather is proving too much even for many trains the german train service

already started reducing connections on saturday like ian darke months many long distance trains are staying put. major hubs like hamburg's main station eerily empty. thankfully many travelers were forewarned and stayed at home. those who did stay at home have their own little challenges to face. sure it's fun keeps you in good shape but if it freezes again well then things could become more problematic if the snow gets hard and heavy that could be a problem on the roofs. one of the big coronavirus got me working from home so this is a welcome little change of pace for me and i think the street car could be. in the capital fun loving berliners young and old took advantage of the snowy sunday to get some sledding in. and braving those brutal conditions we have our correspondent jared reed in hanover in central germany jared how's it looking where you are today

. hi sarah well it's very cold here as you probably can see when we arrived here 2 days ago there was really no snow it all on the ground and as you can see all around me and behind me that's a very different picture across several german states anything between 2 to 32 centimeters of snow has fallen so far here in hanover emergency services have been clearing roads that have really just been completely covered in snow or they really have cut out for them today as well here in hanover one of the be kings has been the cancellation of trains hanover is a kind of main central hub through which many long distance trains travel through germany so canceling them is quite a big deal i was in the train station a little bit earlier luckily it seems they went to many stranded passengers people have been heeding warnings to to not travel and to stay at harm care what other

disruptions the storm called in the region. or anything you might really expect from an extreme weather events like this which is what meteorologists are calling it so aside from canceled trains that being canceled buses to the beach seeing has been lots of accidents on the roads to 200 in germany over 200 in germany's most populous state north rhine-westphalia they have been truck accidents as well so really lots of disruptions to roads and rail dead being power lines that are full and in some areas as well and one of germany's bundesliga top football card games has had to be canceled and postponed what authorities are really warning about today since there's so much snow around is of snow drifts warning people who do have to travel on the roads to be careful of the. you know it's really scary scary when they when they cancer council

like dark we take a look at the harmful effect of light flashed. on 31st we take you to egypt where a filmmaker is challenging the culture of silence around sexual harassment. sexual harassment is hugely widespread the term cover is a range of experiences from unwanted groping receiving inappropriate calls or messages. to being the victim of a physical sexual assault. a british study of the outing e t community found that 68 percent of gay bi and translatable have suffered sexual harassment at work. women are especially if acted according to the results of a european study an overwhelming majority of women in france denmark and sweden

have been the victim of sexual harassment. but it's a problem all over the world in our next report winnie's a filmmaker in egypt is setting act and change the narrative around the issue. to her as she heard his latest documentary has touched a nerve in egypt in it the 26 year old filmmaker explores attitudes towards public displays of affection a previous film she made dealt with the issue of sexual harassment many men in the country downplay the seriousness and extent of the problem dismissing crimes of this nature as mere misdemeanors. taking on this issue meant creating a powerful protagonist and then i started to think you know what if i was super hero and i really wanted to you know that didn't happen for me so i interpreted. the protectionist is a 14 year old christian girl with

a keen sense of justice the budding heroine ponders what a good discuss could be and finds the answer on the street. she said in his superhero disguise she hands down men who sexually harass women. a christian woman in the cup critics say it's an abuse of islamic values but the filmmaker replies that it's a subject which affects. thankfully i never experience something very tragic like. that i definitely like just walking in the streets of egypt if you like 100 percent or 99 percent of women experience sexual harassment on a daily basis i. have constant calls which is normal woman experience in egypt i had a home and come into my building before. in the film for example men see tight

jeans as an invitation. to. the heroine's message in the. above charter criticizes the fact that sexual attacks are mostly kept quiet she and her allies want to see that change. the scholars of the islamic us our university are considered the moral compass of muslims in egypt they made their own short film aimed at tackling sexual harassment while the scholars are advocates for what they call decent clothing for women then this it is clear. the model of one of the woman wears is no justification harassment imagine living somewhere else that are certain dress codes does that justify sexual harassment absolutely not in the event of sexual assault it's a matter for the judiciary. and it in this. go to the or far as he is they say

never before have the clergy come out so firmly on the matter. she heard her meets with the heroine of his short film mina the director wants to broach the subject of sexual assault in a feature length film just mina is passionate about the project because it affects her directly. when she had to directed us mina in the short film the actress was just 14 years old i mean obviously her trust was a thing to me and i knew what it was but once we started so many and it happened while we were on set they were just like making fun of the costume saying things about my body really over the whole situation and kind of gave me the feminism so much as a kick. charter's path to the cinema won't be easy his short film has gained international recognition but in egypt the subject of sexual assault is still to blue and considered inappropriate for the silver screen. but the manager of the

independent cinema sow's ear is interested. for she has it's a relief she's often accused of lambasted in egypt. but i'm looking for international audiences for this film because when i think the topic of sexual harassment in general is a universal topic it's not something that just happening happens in egypt it happens everywhere it's not just in egypt. attorney rashly are on the run represent several women who have exposed sexual assault and violence on social media even naming perpetrators the me too movement has brought many previously untold stories of harassment to light for the 1st time large numbers of women are breaking their silence. their accounts that sprung up over the summer of 2020 brought attention to the issue to a wider audience egyptian women who do go to the police stations to report such harassment do not always get. a positive. or encouragement to file the

report there is a there is sometimes pressure to kind of you know settle the. case amicably by getting the perpetuator to you know apologize. gender relations are the main theme and she hurt his films she asks people on the street questions they've never been asked before kissing before marriage yes or no she wants to bring to booze out of the shadows and into the night tara she house says the subject of sexual harassment is one of the most important in egypt because it's too often downplayed when it's just like a word and no one really talks about it because to say you know it wasn't a big deal just forget about it but these little things add up and they matter and the affect a woman's life and those who are her us life. so i really think that we should

enforce laws to. stop those. repression and discrimination a part of life for many women around the world on our new facebook channel d.w. women you'll find stories about those taking a stand and inspiring others to do the same d.w. women gives a voice to the women of our world. beachy . is a strong independent woman.

i'm 17 years old i'm from. south africa ok. old from. south africa. i have 7 siblings with. my father. ek and noise. i don't like. i go away they. just take. telling me you're asking me so i just get annoyed. to be unleashed no no no i didn't because i have to get up every day and sometimes of you that. i don't want to go to school today but i have to close i have exit or

i have to study and all that stuff since i joined the group so. i mean i like it because it disciplines you and it also helps you to be very aware of your surroundings. always be vigilant and all that stuff so i really like i didn't know how to fight in case i. really have. educational psychologist and all souls have created some new apps that can help like. snow create abs that are appropriate for

children. pets snakes dogs. dogs spiders so really. so many things i'm afraid oh. yeah i think so because i am not like i don't go to places carrying my balkan all that stuff being afraid of cops at all so i think i have it better i really have it better. at. night sky is flooded with these days fishies barely ever experience the true cover of darkness we take constant illumination for granted. early pioneers of artificial life infusing cern humphry davy. james prescott jewel and most

famously thomas edison revolutionized our lives by making light bulbs readily available. facts of artificial life can have a damaging effect on both the environment and our health. and i have never ever seen anything like this obviously where the great reluctance is a magnitude 6.6 earthquake. in 1904 los angeles was hit by a strong earthquake that caused chaos on the streets and the black ops you see as you look out your window it's probably fish dark red herring the blackout many people called observatories and even 911 not because. of because they saw john. silvery cloud in the sky that cloud was in fact the milky way countless stars they had never seen before you maybe haven't heard much about it yet but light pollution doesn't really consume stars it seriously affects our health and the environment.

when the 1st light bulb was turned on and the 900 century it marked a real revolution night suddenly became day. it's great with electric light we can travel. work go out on party whatever the time of day the pioneers might not have expected then ventured to take over the whole world in fact in many places electric light has banished darkness. terms of proportional changes to the world the introduction of this light into the night is one of the most dramatic changes that we made to the biosphere. this is because of your researches artificial light emissions from cities and their impact today more than 80 percent of the world's population no longer experience dark

skies. for example nights are so bright in singapore that people can't adapt their vision for darkness today scientists are warning of the dangers of artificial light at night. it didn't really affect me oh and that's when i decided. this is the most desired activists in india. we do sniper scientists now consider artificial light at night a form of pollution. during the entire development of. multicellular organisms. and animals that vertebrates mammals primates and humans during that whole time there was this constant signal coming from the environment this is daytime this is night time this is the lunar month. and in areas that experience strong light pollution that signal is effectively has been

dramatically cake. industry over the past century has led to assertion artificial illumination so we see that most countries in the world are becoming brighter this is accelerated in recent decades particularly in asian cities all violet dots on this map show new light sources installed in india between 20122016 it's just you know horrible and inaudible it's just so you would you know you can you can see they aren't going to cross because they. are combined with illusion this is the view from the u.s. apartment in mumbai he lives in the 7th floor with his family and is literally in the spotlight the lights from nearby streets and the stadium shine directly into their apartment light used to go into late program or sometimes. and be more i used to get this job i don't like you know bright lights coming into my. bedroom and it really impacted me because.
