the epidemic has already taken hold and it's rising why haven't they done it earlier. it's also normal when people are a bit fed up with. in the regional capital metz the mayor had feared it total border closure so it would have extremely severe consequences to block everything. there will be more controls it will be restrained but maybe it will be necessary in any case the main mistake in the pandemic he thinks has been made in paris. we have very disappointed with the slowness of vaccinations. being to move you dr clooney wants to personally change that and get his citizens vaccinated as quickly as possible. because on a virus pandemic has been described as the biggest education emergency in history new data shows just how damaging it has been to children schooling the charity save the children says that students have lost average of

a 3rd of their standard $190.00 day school yeah the last classroom time isn't distributed equally the report says pupils in europe missed an average of $45.00 days schooling while in sub-saharan africa that figure rises to 69 and children in the middle east missed out on 80 days of education hardest hit which rolled in latin america and south asia where they lost an average of $110.00 days of james cox as head of education policy at save the children joins us from london welcome to day w so this was your description of the pandemic as the biggest education emergency in history why emergency. well i think it's quite clear we've never seen quite such a large closure of education since possibly world war 2 and such a long period of time as well children have not had such a rapid shutdown of education ever and i think

a new study showed today shows quite clearly just how much learning children are missing out on really knew that schools are closed months. children in some countries school close to nothing but a couple of weeks but now also looking into the dispatches from distance learning. without any form of education at all at home or in school. much as half their school year or more so really this is a really chronic crisis of children and the impacts of this will be felt for a long time to come but how will they be felt how they make themselves and these impacts. you know the learning losses like this are going to be significant and whilst the data from this particular crisis is still quite early in coming through the full scale of. previous crises we know that. just a few months of school closures can literally sniff noting losses and it can

persist for a long time so for example from the major pakistan earthquakes several years ago children who were in the most affected schools longest. were still one half years behind in their education 4 years on from the crisis so it's very critical that we get these children in the right support they need to catch up not let me talk about getting the children the right support governments around the world are doing as much as they can the schools aren't closed for far. no of course not and we've seen wonderful kind of work by governments teachers parents and children to keep learning alive whilst. schools have been shot. things pretty clear from our paper today that that doesn't work for everybody indeed if you can if you've got 2 lessons we know it's no replacement for being in school and learning and that's a big challenge to support you're going on zoom all day but many children don't

even know that all radio lessons that they've got nothing at all and the key thing is was this funding for the preparation now so governments are doing some good work that we really need. to talk to support the most marginalised kids that's going to give the adapted teaching approaches to children who missed out on the most learning so. it does it does sound like you're stating the obvious what is it that you want governments to do that you believe that they are not doing that they could . that's what campaigns about and clear communication about support that will be available for kids particularly those who missed out and lost nothing that's not in place everywhere you need to give support to teachers to implement that adaptive approach and of course you need resources to support those teachers so that's new classroom cereals or financing we see in 2 thirds of income countries around the world. but it's been caught in the past year so we need international community to step up at the g 7 and with the replenished into the

global partnership for education this year with the resources those countries need to make education a core part of their recovery covert 19 so there's good work happening governments need to really be proud response their needs are developed that up to the children need and they need the financial support to do that good thank you so much for that james cox from save the children and keep. the last year's berlin film festival took place in cinemas just days before the corona virus pandemic overwhelmed europe this year the bird another has gone online and despite the lack of glitz and glamor the program still has plenty of thought provoking films so here's a look at just a few. yes

. the film who we were opens with those words how will humanity be remembered in the future. director mark bowden meet 6 thinkers with special expertise like astronaut alexander gast they each share their perspectives from the bottom of the ocean from outer space africa or a buddhist monastery. we lived too long in isolation in a disciplined ation of our problems we all sought orders you were caught european context as an african context but to understand that everything going on right now is connected to other questions out of people out of settings i think this is an important angle. can the earth be saved the film showcases potential solutions a complete change of direction would be sensible continued over exploitation and

unmitigated growth would certainly spell our hand. to meet these people in the film. it was such a. mind opener to see you you don't have to wait until something changes you can do it by yourself and then you meet r.s. and then you meet again others and does this like an internal movement. who we were uses powerful imagery to show what's at stake for humanity especially well done is the combination of different viewpoints on one central issue but there are also moments of hopefulness with a combined effort done right now humans would be able to preserve our habitat. the science fiction movie time is less optimistic warfare pandemics and climate change have turned the blue planet into a flooded grey swamp contact with the ground is only possible during the daily low

tide space colony astronauts are searching for a new life they find it in the form of members of a creepiest mission. what happened. they crossed. we had a malfunction after entering the stratosphere. the suppose address turns out to be a betrayal told in a visually striking style 2 completely different films with the same message the earth doesn't need humans but humans need the earth. so looking pretty grim there is it let's talk about this further it's got to rocks for from day to culture welcome scott we have different views of the german directors but it all looks a bit pessimistic well i mean not everything could be the documentary what we were or who we were does offer some hope for what humanity could do if they want to

avert climate catastrophe but you definitely right with tides the science fiction film that predicts sort of future what could happen if we don't do anything and that's definitely not comfort viewing. some of the german films in the running a look specifically at the past that tell us about a fabio but tom showing. yeah i thought then is set in the weimar republic so the period just before hitler comes to power and it follows a young man who is a would be novelist but he loses his job and his his life starts to fall apart sort of reflecting the collapse of the country around him i had a chance to just recently just right now to speak to tom schilling the star of the movie and he told me that what interested him about this story wasn't actually the history of the weimar republic but what he thinks that period can tell us about what's happening right now because just like then he says political extremism is on the rise and political polarization could could lead to disaster. you know

germany's a big stocking brew of god by his back is even directing his 1st feature this time . yeah this film is called next door and daniel bruel plays a character who looks a lot like daniel blue he's a famous german actor called daniel who lives in berlin and in the movie he stops by his local and meets a neighbor he never knew he had but it soon becomes very apparent that this neighbor knows everything about daniel and very slowly he starts to pick his life apart it's a film that feels more like a theater play that a real movie but it's very very funny and incredibly smart one of them. and his really playing himself in this one do we get any insights into the real daniel bro . you know it's funny i spoke to a daniel last week about this movie and he said that a lot of the scenes and all of the dialogue in the film is taken directly from experiences he had he's had with with with fans with people in the industry but

what i really love about this movie is that he makes himself the butt of the joke this is definitely not a vanity project you really coaxed out of this movie it's a good laugh ok oh better if that all. school runs for calls from force and thank you so much. this is day w coming up next on news asia a writer's definite plan for the share like night outrage over security law activists say it's safeguards and no one but those in power. come to india and pakistan once again agree a cease fire in kashmir to welcome you mr president some a lot of control that will. put us a check stories on. asia in just a moment i'll be back after top al but old world news and of course in between as always the web site w dot com i'm going to. come

make up your. mate for mines. you're watching the news asia coming up today the fight for free speech once again turns deadly and the dash mushtaq ahmed was sent to prison for his facebook posts and died awaiting trial after this to manage an investigation into his death and a repeal of the law that put him behind bars. is all plant on the kashmir front india and pakistan to ease into in an easy ceasefire while residents in the region trying to rebuild from the damage.

i'm melissa chan welcome to d.w. news asia activists in bangladesh have been hitting the streets to protest the death of mushtaq ahmed a writer who died in prison and who was sent there in the 1st place for what he said on facebook he had criticised the government's handling of the coronavirus pandemic those demonstrating demand the withdrawal of the expansive and fairly new do. security act under which it was charged and they want an independent investigation not a government one into how he died. their aim was to march to bangladesh's interior ministry arm in arm hundreds of mostly students joined in the protest in their way though this police barricade and for a 4th day what began as a peaceful march turned into something more ugly. the protesters anger

is twofold it's about the death of a rights mushtaq ahmed in jail and it's about a security law that they see is trampling on their freedom of speech i. think. we have succeeded in our programme to lay siege to the interior ministry the economy rates we demanded the elements of the digital security act we protest the way rights. died in prison under the secure custody of the state. or 30 say ahmed died of a heart attack while detained in a high security prison he'd been charged under the law for criticizing the country's coronavirus response on social media. protesters allege that our maid was tortured while in jail though his cousin a doctor was present at the autopsy the political worship the more it's very difficult to accept this a 5354 year old man would die of

a single heart attack you could say it's an abnormal death but we can point out any other symptoms or causes that will result in this death. for her part bangladesh's prime minister has shrugged off criticism of the law and death. instantly more against what can we do if someone dies after falling sick in jail no death is desired it's also not desired it on rest will be created. such words will do nothing to quell the anger of these protesters who now have a martyr for their course. joining us is sad how mighty of amnesty he joins us from colombo side un human rights chief michel bashfully has called for an immediate independent investigation into which took meds death what do we know about his time in jail and what his death avoidable

. well when you have a person in detention for 9 months effective teacher of attention for 9 months. what can you expect of the state of mind of that person and that too he has been detained soley for exercising his right to freedom of expression of sherry post of facebook how much of this is a crime in the constitution of the human rights law is something that needs to be investigated it's also important to analyze and explain why this person had to be detained for such a long time is a 53 year old man has been in detention away from his family simply for exercising his right to freedom of expression simply for posting on facebook whatever he has although it could be critical of the government which is that which is what legal

documents say that he has been critical of the government in latest polls and the government's response to the call with 9000 pandemic but does that really require a person to be detained and kept in jail for such a long time without trial. and this digital security act seems to be a trend we're seeing in many countries i'm thinking of pakistan and also india where the governments have taken action against what they decide is misinformation on social media but which effectively becomes a tool to go to to go after critics is that what we're seeing here as well. so this is a situation that we're seeing across the region what they call it the electronic transactions act the unlawful activities prevention act of the digital security act in bangladesh is seeing that government something very sensitive about public perception people have been critical of actions and responses of the government and that has led to taking this trust actions of arresting people and

profiting laws that legitimize criminalize ation of free speech you must also note that the human rights comment he has observed at the threshold of each item of expression is quite high and this is certainly not one of them where if you're criticizing the government of political fears of public figures. you're not supposed to be detained and arrested for those for those actions and going back to bangladesh how likely is it that the government will drop or change the digital security act as a result of international and public pressure i'm afraid we don't know but this is this is really a time of sense where the government response to the calls of the international community and not just the plastic community it's a call of the people of that country who are being subject to this persecution by authorities we not get to those who don't necessarily have to go to the head of the

state for ever for every action but when you have a law that is so big it overbroad 'd which gets to a punishment up to 10 years imprisonment for just saying something on facebook or twitter or whatever social media or online it's really challenging it goes out of hand at one point whereby country a 10 point one percent of the government itself remains the sponsor both for the actual incident and the persecution that people have to go through sad how much thank you so much. india and pakistan is agreement to cease fire last week along what's called the line of control in the kashmir region has been cautiously welcomed by residents in the region a cease fire agreement had been in place for nearly 2 decades but it has often been ignored the last couple of years saw a significant increase in ceasefire violations and casualties took a toll among villagers living close to the defacto border on both sides for now the

shelling has stopped. not for the 1st time as easier raman is having to rebuild his home he lives on the pakistani side of the line of control like so many on the border he's long had to deal with the consequences of unrelenting cross border shelling. i am reconstructing a portion of my house with a year's worth of savings and borrowing some money i don't know when it will be destroyed again. and then out of a cease fire along the line of control could finally provide some rest byt. relations with pakistan. in a peaceful. signs of the tensions between the 2 countries ever present

this bridge it teed while used to connect pakistani kashmir with indian kashmir it was a salvation for families separated by the conflict but it's been shut since 2018 this is the view from the indian side pakistani snipers stand guard at their end of the bridge everyone here knows what can happen. with my sons came and woke me up they said firing has started wake up our entire neighborhood was in a panic situation i said the only way to survive is to pick up our blankets and to rush to the cowsheds we spent our night until the morning that came out after firing stopped at 6 am. despite the cease fire the situation in kashmir remains volatile with those closest to it paying the highest price.

joining us s d w shots have jelani shots at how likely will this ceasefire hold i mean what are the motivations for both governments to maintain the peace. melissa we have to bear in mind that the current ceasefire was agreed nearly 18 years ago in 2003 but there have been repeated violations on the line of control by both sides and there was a. major escalation in august bank in 19 when the indian prime minister narendra modi decided to effectively annex the indian side of. this the border as we know is one of the heavily militarized border in the world which is a flashpoint for possible nuclear conflict between the 2 countries beneficiaries of them being the ultimate price of the jelling and fighting on the line of control

and they live in perpetual fear so this is a welcome development for them but we have to be cautious this is not a peace agreement and the situation is still volatile and for gyal and frankly it can break down any time you talk about volatility so what might be the villain motivations for either government not to maintain the peace. so you look at the history of india pakistan they have had wars this tension on the line of control in kashmir and i would say bolsa goldman's have used to question you sure every now and then to divert attention from the domestic political economic challenges we have a government in india which is a hardline hindu nationalist government you have a government in pakistan that is effectively backed and run by the military and both governments have used to fish new tissue for their own reasons now india has an issue with the border on china and it really cannot afford to open up too many

fronts so they may want to kind of calm the situation on the border and pakistan effectively has so many internal economic challenges that they would welcome any breakthrough any coming off the commission on the border in kashmir and along with india shots at jelani thank you. we leave you today with some adorable androids in japan sales for a little companions like bees are booming tech firms have found people are seeking more human or pet like robots to keep their spirits up while stuck in coronavirus isolation will be back tomorrow you then get by.
