if the drink was used in royal burial rituals it's of silliest things or it could be just that the gyptian zz enjoyed having a good point. but said for now more news headlines coming up at the top of the out stay tuned now for our coverage 19 special. the fight against the corona virus pandemic. has the rate of infection been developing what does the latest research say. information and context the coronavirus update 19. on t w. can you hear me now yes yes we can hear you and how last year's germantown so that will bring you an angle that makeover as you've never tired to have surprise yourself with what is possible who is medical really what

moves her and also we talked to people who followed her along the way admirers and critics alike how is the world's most powerful woman shaking her legacy joining us from eccles last stop. and especially bitter winter in the northern hemisphere has been making living on the streets even tougher. and crowded shelters the safest place to spend the night with the pandemic still raging. it's not just the cold the homeless have to contend with $1000.00 poses a special danger for a group likely to have other health problems too. now with many hotels empty due to the crisis some cities have found. and

a clever way to bring the vulnerable population in from the cold. war many european capitals adopted the strategy during the 1st wave germany's taken longer hotels in berlin at least opens their doors in time for the big chill and with tourists staying away it's helping keep business going thanks to the homeless . reports. when i see your brains hit berlin some have it's harder to find shelter than others but this man got lucky. kristen who doesn't want to give the school name normally sleeps in an emergency shelter during winter now he puts the few things he owns inside a hotel over his system feels safe and he can take a shower he also gets served warm food really upgrade he finds. i used to sleep in a container this is

a hotel that's much better then through on that was all on its feet. the hotel vita is one of several hotels and berlin which are now welcoming homeless people like a stone it is a win win situation he has a place to sleep and take shelter from the cold while the hotel can make some money the city pays for the commendation. the bats were urgently needed explains organizer wolfgang fitch due to the covert prices shelters had to reduce the number of beds to keep up hygiene measures and they cater for how the shelter usually puts people in dormitories or even on camping mats and big shared rooms we can't do that because of cold it we're very grateful that we can use the hotel because we can put people in twin rooms it means we never have more than 2 or 3 people in of room type

as a woman was on. and there is more that guests can return to their beds all winter long if they stick to the rules that makes all the difference as martyr who helps run the place and has a close connection to many of them i know. that. on that one from the uncle menzies when they get here they're unwashed and exhaust often depressed and lacking prospects after a few weeks here they've changed completely they have a different outlook on the future some of them find work some even a home of their own. something better anyway. living in his own home that is also christan stream he's hope for free lising it once the culvert crisis is over. frank spender when is from the european federation

of national organizations working with the homeless how can others be helped to punt housing joining this crisis and even more importantly once it's over and hotel rooms are no longer on offer. well i think what we have to like me 1st say that it's important the most member states in the european union have done an effort to get people off the streets into. what is important we start that you know to the about the last quarter oh no. you don't want to these homeless people i mean we're talking about then thousands of homeless people who as we don't want them to be pushed back into the shelter or even worse into the street so we have to make sure they move into supportive housing as much as possible so i think that's a really important commitment that we have to get from policymakers and look at nationalism what about using this opportunity to test the part of the population that may not otherwise see a doctor. well yes of course homeless people are more from the.

general population so they should. be a priority they should be a priority group when it comes to testing unfortunately what we see in most countries a lot of play out of the group there's only a handful of countries including germany where the homeless population and the professionals working with them are a priority group that will be tested and vaccinated quite quite soon so i think it's important to learn from up and to push this thing in vaccination in the home as much as possible od a mole. prone to covert those. reports of them having a higher dose of vitamin decently because they're outdoors so much more and also quite socially distance from from the rest of us. well i think they are more from the like that is. a lot of preexisting conditions that make them

more vulnerable but. i don't think that would homeless people out outside the whole time most of the homeless people actually shout that in. that so anyway the head is really quite bad in general so that if there is no doubt that they are more vulnerable to the. infection than the general population and which of the social distancing is really difficult like if you are given a shot and most of us are overcrowded so i think it would be your own to suggest that it's easier for homeless people to socially distance is it also a fact that homelessness is increasing at the moment with so many people losing their jobs. yes but when this people was increasing he could in a crisis between 20092019 we have seen in european union a 770 increase in the number of people that experience will not sense and any given day which means are sleeping on the streets are sleeping rough or in

a shelter that was of updating peace. accord on a crisis it's difficult to say if when this is further increasing but we estimate like we think that it's further increasing and what would especially concerned about is how the. evolution of the movement most member states have a moratorium moratorium in place they wouldn't last forever that is increasing pressure too and if this moratorium inevitably leads to a spike in evictions and we defeat the spike in eviction we translate in a spike in homelessness so we'll probably see we seen an increase before or not we'll probably see an increase of the quarter when i was well what about i think what about the housing 1st initiative is that making a difference in in some countries instead of makeshift health care and psychological support the homeless get an apartment without conditions attached. yes but that he's

a lot of evidence that housing 1st works it works especially for homeless people with complex needs and homeless people that are chronically homeless so i don't think we have to further doubts about its effectiveness the the scientific evidence is there what we need to do now he's to do is promote the scientific evidence and help convince all of the makers that local and national level to be housing 1st to skate i'm not trying to argue don't need traditional way or dressing homelessness by making homeless people bust wish out. of itself the system is totally ineffective but it's very clear that housing 1st is more effective if people keep housing people feel better and once you know that and yes people are doing better so there's no doubt the housing 1st works especially for chronically homeless people frank spin away from the european federation of national organizations working with the homeless thank you very much thank you could often are. i'm to

hand you over to our science correspondent derrick williams he's been looking into your questions on the growth by. having 1000 to 5 is like me protected to some extent from a infection with the new variant. the answer to this worrisome question is still up in the air but it's clearly something authorities will be keeping a close eye on in the coming months so what makes things tom placated is that the pandemic landscape has shiftings so rapidly we're trying to track the effects of vaccines in multiple variants across societies but even nailing down exactly which variant might have affected someone somewhere is still much more the exception than the rule even in the u.k. which does a better job of tracking this kind of data than any other country they've only sequenced and viral genomes from around 10 percent of all infected patients which

means we only know in one out of about 10 cases which variant a british patient had and in most other countries we know a whole lot less than that. one thing that's fueled concerns about the possibility of survivors being reinfected with new variants is some results from a recent vaccine trial in south africa although it was set up to provide information about the safety and efficacy of the vaccine the trial incidentally revealed something kind of frightening in the placebo group subjects' who had antibodies indicating that they'd already had over 1000 once seemed just as likely to contract the disease again in the course of the study as people who haven't had it one possible explanation for that is that the variant discovered in. south

africa is less likely to be prevented by a naturally occurring immunity to earlier variants but that still hasn't been proven and the data set was too small to draw firm conclusions on the upside however is that even if reinfection with the new variant does occur many experts think that one run in with the disease should generally continue to provide some protection maybe enough to prevent severe disease with a newer variant that's the hope at least. and we leave you with rio's somebody which is empty this year after the city suspended convolve due to the pandemic of course at the massive parade ground is being put to other uses like a slide show one of victims of the fires brazil has the 2nd highest number of deaths in the walt. jess's with one of the city's somebody schools also put on

a socially distanced and display to cheer on the country's vaccination campaign. joy thanks for watching they say can see you against it. when they leave their communities are cut off from everything family friends and their heritage their ultra-orthodox jews. younger is here is in particular are searching for meaning outside of his region found. a project in germany is helping them to build new lives making new friends. close up. on d w. eco india. in

a secluded valley in the himalayan mountains many people still live for kalik tricity. hydroelectric power is meant to solve the energy problem but these clean power plants are destroying local agriculture. and the population is starting to fight back to india. in 60 minutes t w. people looking for her. there are many answers. there are many.

there are many alternatives. to. make up your own mind. for minds. i would say that we grew up in that cults and 8 society that run the south very similar to north korea. i keep a fine garden has left the cult as he calls it he no longer lives in an ultra orthodox jewish community buying gotten has established a new jewish life for himself in germany. it's a decision that very strictly observant jews like you reject on principle.

enough i'm sure that if you do not live for god it is no kind of life where you live like an animal without any sense or purpose and it is. but more and more young adults choose no longer want to devote their lives to god and surprisingly many of them a draw. it's friday evening the start of a show about the jewish day of rest and celebration. 'd there. the key to find god is a rabbi saving his leading prayers for a very special community many of the jews he have quit ultra-orthodox communities in the united states or israel. and generally they're trying to lead their own lives attempting to establish a more relaxed relationship to god. with the help of rabbi find out what.

they are. often seeing nish even the people who don't want to remain observant are still interested in these traditions these are targets on. well 5000 got months to give a new spiritual heart a new family to those who have left their own orthodox communities. he regularly buys people to cook and eat together for the chabad cuisine a community often means a loss of contact with their own family this is where vine gotten can seem everyone is welcome here. is common in the mission for everyone is invited to come here it's a mix of x. orthodox israelis germans liberal jews orthodox jews conservative jews non jews everyone is invited conservative or you would. wish you we're open to everyone.

isn't follow often here. as this is traditional get filtered fish. oh heck we haven't got any garlic if. i select the color of. akiva find god knows the dust the plague those who leave everything behind 6 years ago he left an orthodox community alone in germany he felt completely lost he hopes to spare others that experience. as a dust buster view here in berlin i lacked what we have here help me with his initial 1000000000 defamer that's why i decided to open something myself with a sound. that. has become a point of contact for young people who want to break out of the strict ultra orthodox way of life without however abandoning jewish traditions. hit our. people and say that rabbi vine gotten screwed

over his community is live and let live believe and let others believe. was. was because i think it doesn't matter whether you believe in god or not and you don't have to believe in going to lead a jewish life to celebrate shabat observe religious holidays to keep our pound traditions the food the music and. i rushed upon it on the left his 100 just arrived in germany it took moshe and his friend donna is to pray with their strict religious lives and with their families in israel. some are a few brave. there was. a fire. heard different there was almost player

who thought it was. jerusalem not far from the city's famous. town is the world that moshe barnett has turned his back on . the ultra orthodox district of missionary many people here are descended from holocaust survivors they settled here after the 2nd world war. a region in the members of strictly observant communities made up just a small percentage of the population of the newly found a jewish state now days they can't facility percent of jerusalem's inhabitants. huge crowd is one of them unlike the ultra orthodox families of moshe barnett and others he is prepared to give us

a glimpse of life usually close to outsiders krauss and his wife esther who doesn't want to appear before the camera live in a tiny flat with 18 children their daily life is dominated by prayers been religious study this is the life that the newcomers that rabbi vine got and welcomes to germany have fled from. now but the share the meaning of life she insists of serving god of the whole day every day every hour because the things that you do with a clear goal in mind are the best things of that they are also the easiest lives for. if you do not live for god there is no kind of life. we live like an animal without any scent so perfect. that every single aspect of every day life is regulated militias checking the black-eyed peas insects they will be eaten and rushed hashanah he wants to avoid any impurity play machine the start of

the jewish new year. that this. might be my fear is dominated by faith and superstition. a troubled young man from the neighborhood knocks at the door the community has advised him to seek help from strauss. cross ems to remove the evil lie with the lead pouring ritual. that little bit. there. actually the. way. he notes lead in water in a pot held over the young man's head which according to tradition helped in cases like this one.

it is impossible to say how many commom and that we have there in 24 hours he followed thousands of them there are $613.00 commandments laid down in the torah but there are tens of thousands of others. the ultra-orthodox lifestyle led by cross has barely changed in centuries everything revolves around god the modern world the outside world is mostly regarded as a threat. to children's education is largely religious science or history do not feature on the curriculum girls and boys are married off young and are expected to have large families. the internet is seen as a hotbed of c.

that's why smart phones of a didn't only old style cellphones are not. only a matter hello it's i believe we aren't extreme it's because the world is deteriorating so quickly that they say we are extreme when. extrema tall i would say we are upstanding people. all the others are leaning a bit to the left or become the general that they look down at us we're not extreme at all with the most upstanding people that exist out in the mail was. that it most ultra-orthodox jews in me assure remove from welfare payments in donations. in his wife's help out in the kitchen twice a week so they can feed their 18 children. that will give all of them but gonna help. their daughters have to lend a hand from an early age training for their role as housewife and mother when i

grow up and that i need the key to the slaughter house white are you there are you on your bike and come to the slaughter house i hope somebody is going to be there and will open up the need to pick up a chicken from the cave for now it will get back to you and often our. life is strictly regulated according to religious commandments and traditions that have found thousands of years old this gives a sense of stability to many people but a growing number of young altar orthodox jews are unhappy with this regimented life and feel too constrained. kraus is sure that his children will not leave the phone but what if they do. ok if a child of mine wanted to go out and see the world i would tell them go and see what i can tell you now there is nothing to say.

that. back in germany interest in where akiva find out is a rabbi he grew up in ultra-orthodox community in new york state in the new israel there he lived like cross. he was betrothed to the age of 19 and by the age of 22 he had 2 children. then 2014 he decided to leave the path mapped out for him he left his family and came to germany and almost broke under the strain of the separation. and the 1st few months that i was in berlin i would not stand near a window on a higher floor because i was afraid i would jump that's how hard it was. just hard to cope with the long illness the sudden loss of the family which usually spoons those who live by vine gartman was lucky he found a new partner rosa and

a job as the rabbi of dresden student community and his family did not completely break with him. he regularly scallops with his family in new york state and lets them share his new life. that i show you our new chandelier. if i were to say it's on here and. 16. i mean only 7 are here. if you could see his daughters from his 1st marriage mary and markie are also taking part in the scott cole usually he travels to israel every 3 months to visit them but that's been impossible since february due to the pandemic miria you dressed up for the show about sure i'm ready i've got myself ready who isn't ready markie no

milk is ready to hit the market it's almost the vine gardens ex-wife still leads an ultra-orthodox life she has broken off contact with him and never takes part in the calls with the children. i think that my children are too small point to standards i do not know what they're being told by their teachers and by their mother i do know that they will grow up and they will have. the ability to choose after words because. another world has opened up for them and once they're in the right age we can have these conversations and then they can choose where they want to be. i keep a vine got months his children and his congregation to have a choice. that's why he and his girlfriend rosa decided to create a program interested in berlin to help people who live on 2 orthodox communities.

alvar on the. god of. yours there's no program like this so far but thank you very keen speaking approached about this from. young men and women that left of the doxy and they see the already lives in the secular world but she keeps his in some way a sort of religiousness a sort of church and as in within the. within the secular world that's exactly what more than it would like to achieve. victory things. and. this is my problem. one of my poor insistence of transistors this is my little sister this is my nephew

moshe is the eldest of 10 children the 23 year old misses his family desperately. i don't even know he's abandoned the phone he told his parents he was going to germany to study the holy scriptures. i think that's part of the main guy thing not for now that part of the book the good from it keep going for. in his former life going for you just because sake it was inconceivable. in jerusalem he usually stayed nishida studying the torah until 10 pm at night. when i drop probably until the age of 1415 maybe it was a very clear to me is after all what should do on all do exist and in the wall it was shipped of all it's all about him in every aspect in the last it's towards the willing of the world what he wants what he wants followed from you in the last year

in my. soul riyadh a more open conversation between the guys on a lot of subjects you can call or maybe. by the world but then i understand where it finished we believe and to move over. i lost the connection of. purpose 2 years ago i decided to secretly leave the yeshiva regard to a state school without telling his parents he can't least need orthodox world then he heard about the project in germany designed to support people like him he got in touch with rabbi find out via facebook who arranged for him to come to dress to this summer. issue of the ousts old guard. now he's learning german along with others in the program. one would get them

just didn't so. we'll he. does his very young heart is also mention to you. there are a lot of them called know that. it's similar. for me it's like a new world from the moon and the truly long auburn line coffee is half if after. all the talk in the last has been doing both for surely if all. of them provide find god and has who can rise to the classes he also helps moshe and the others to find apartments and furnish them funded by private donations to toughen interest in an organization for people in need also does its best. to repeat them

up. maybe also go off in the. other war. you know whether or not it was the father the. people he turned his back on all to also talks life moshe was never on his own his days was shaped by religion and the family rabbi vine garden is now helping him to cope alone step by step from being on his own has however raised many questions. this is the time the question say right now if god exists positive what it's all for me to walk through the door with or. i don't feel like religion this is part of. the rabbi helps to help him deal with such extensional problems in particular he's encouraging moshe and the others to redefine their relationship to religion and teaches them the torah interesting new synagogue. the ultra-orthodox

god is very present in your life from an on a daily basis he cares which you put on 1st and which sure you tie 1st he cares which which hand you wipe your with in the bathroom. she is very busy with your. masterbating that's one of the worst things is that. at some point he just vanished. so the closest person to me that was the year from the moment i was born until the moment i believe he doesn't exist just vanished all the sudden so when i lost my beliefs in that specific god that i grew up on. i had to find a reason why the wake up in the morning what to do anything. to work why to. just go into my life i learned with time. how to you could say

invent my own god or find a god i could live with. and that god has nothing to do with. the ultra orthodox god. i'm not alone and we don't believe that gave us these here we believe it was written by people why is it sacred to us. it's not holy it's important and what's the difference between holy and important one is religious and the other is cultural. i would say that we grew up in a cult and a society that run the self very similar to north korea it's very hard for people that grew up in this world to be integrated into the western society anywhere in the world. but it is possible and find gotten is convinced others can do it too. but why do young jews

go to germany of all places to the country responsible for the holocaust and where anti semitism is on the rise again the answer is complicated just how complicated became clear as he must september find gotten is on his way to multiple with the trial is being held of a man accused of attacking the synagogue in hull and 2019. going to. bring field. we. find gotten has come to lend his support to one of the women who survived the attack. christina feist was there when an attack unsuccessfully attempted to blast his way into the synagogue. one year on she still has not been able to process her experience. in that.

i'm incredibly tired and worn out and exhausted i mean i've worked for it anymore. the rabbi wants to help her speak about it again in preparation for the trial and i . think the most important thing to do today is. to live here. i think that. the job of the island general is to be there for people when they're invited. and. when times just being there is enough. the rabbi doesn't stray from his side of his old friend on the day of her difficult court appearance. in the trial christina finest will have to relive those terrifying hours. hours in which 2 people in the vicinity with 5 flu shot by the attack on. the state prosecutor's office has charged the suspect with 2 counts of murder and $68.00 counts of attempted murder the whole trial is forcing akiva to

read some of his relationship to germany. we have a very complicated relationship with germany in general both my grandparents when our shorts and i think that. the general german population. are not nazis and they feel terrible about what happened. and it looks like they're trying to do whatever they can to make it right with us. i personally never experience anything negative i do feel the looks from all directions when i walk in the street but looking is of course legal and i think the that is one of my goals why i walk around with a keep on the street so that people see it and get used to it that we're part of

the culture or part of society and of course germany has a very big problem with these as they so much are here and they're dangerous and they want to kill us and this should be a wake up call for germany to get their house in order this cannot continue. nevertheless the rabbi firmly believes that jewish life is possible in germany and that's why his set up his projects here. in berlin a long time friend is an example of how a fresh start in germany can succeed. photographer ben human right has invited the rabbi to attend to 6 edition. was blown into an ultra religious israeli family he's been living in berlin for a living he is now jewish identity and jewish life in germany and the major themes in his work. the owner.

of the in the in the area around the area. around i was when i was he's dedicated his latest works to the survivors of the higher attack. he lives in fear. we live as we live. and there are enough people who are also tolerant and open and often is for females or missed there will always be extremists and my work also deals with the effects of anti semitism and this was a bridge but i would also like to show the light radiated by the people who live

here in berlin and feel good to show the good aspects as a contest. back interest in their new arrivals from israel. will be the 1st motion are not just minutes of reuniting his girlfriend minucci talk he knows how important in particular these initial contacts are. valuable but . i live to see 4 years ago. and look a little bit more all the time because you know now with all this is. not really for us to do there really was a low life and i guess i'm going to take.

me on that. call out to. let me out on this and i think that. that is another question you. may have. several minutes to find his own but don't worry what he wants to achieve. it's a good place for young. people come try. you see. you can be in life you. think there's nothing you can fall back to. the fresh start begins for the couple with a new apartment. that was arranged by rabbi akiva find out. who of rumi and minucci i only know from the video calls up to now. the mustache is nude for germany a very good you have a new name yes obviously not alexander but that's ok for germany isn't it for a russian yes but my name is of rumbling sound always and all of it and then the

rabbi shows the new comers around tranced and also takes them to an old cynical that he would like to bring to life again with his many thing you will find things as possible. not building a new community building a community. as part of the community. we need younger people here to strengthen the community here and i think that tres and is a very good place for this i think that. it's not going to be a long time to have it due to a huge group of students here good. eco
