a multiple problems to send nigerians now. our correspondent reporting from a thank you very much for that update. now protesters are once again out on the streets in 1000000 mark to call for a return to democracy and their meeting with a harsh response from security forces but some police officers say they do not want to be part of the crackdown and they have fled to india. the demonstrations like these have become routine throughout the country every day protesters repeat the hard work of rebuilding protective barriers. they have no option but to flee when they are yet again broken down by security forces. a stark assessment has come from the un's human rights

investigator on me and maher he's calling for sanctions against the country's military leaders. there is growing evidence this samey of more military led by the same senior leadership is now engaged in crimes against humanity including the actual murder inforce disappearance persecution torture and imprisonment in violation of fundamental rules of international law yet there are those within the security forces who disagree with the brutality of the british broadcasting corporation has interviewed police officers who fled across the border into india after refusing to carry out military orders. they are among the 1st defectors to share eyewitness accounts of what is happening in myanmar. a movement one has protests were taking place my boss ordered just to fire at the

crowd and i refused to shoot them. and i said i'd rather side with the people later i told him i was going to visit my family that's when i ran away the military is becoming more and more brutal. so far the protesters have refused to be silenced. they're still taking to the streets demanding the return of democracy to their country. and we can speak to an activist now david is joining us from yangon and we're not using his full name in order to protect his identity david we've seen there the risk that people are willing to take to go out onto the streets why is it so important for you to continue protesting. armed since the start of the revolution we have it's a real map 2 words victory in this revolution which consist of 3

components the 1st one which is the most important one is civil disobedience movement the 2nd one in peaceful assembly and peaceful protests and the 3rd one is a continuous support to legally elected consulate members called c r ph so i we believe these 3 hangs in alan's and we have to keep doing what we're doing and and. it's sort of like. the frustrations the get of the military gets from civil disobedience much movement are being drawn up on the protestors and the more the try to you know so try to pressure us the more they try to harm us the stronger we get and

and i think it is also important that we as a public do not fall into the attempt of making b.s. as there are no more. mom no more country under this military region and yet you know the violence is escalating we're seeing more and more people dying on the streets are you worried that this road map that you described might not work . i believe in the road map and because. inside the country and the atmosphere that we get and there are action are speaking directly to us as it is that they cannot hold on anymore with this civil disobedience movement that's why they are trying to crack is down and they are trying to make us you know to be quiet so that they could pursue ate the stuff we're doing see me i'm back so the harder they try to you know science us the

louder we're going to shout out are we not we can let that happens ok what about the role of the civilian leader aung san suu kyi here because she's facing new charges that she was illegally given 600000 dollars and gold bars by a political ally does she still play a role in your movement how important is she still. i think this is a very old playbook of the military which they have been doing since 1962 they forage evidences the create fake cases and so far it has walked for them but this time more important question is where the world and a country is going to. dignify there are falsely accused cases and the question about aung san suu kyi being

a role model towards us the harder the make. to be free the larger their supporters grew and the larger our admiration and and our hope to get out of that is is is clearly going to be or it becomes we'll have to leave it there activist david to joining us there from yen dan thank you so much thank you now to some other headlines from around the world malaysia has introduced a lot of clampdown on so-called fake news about covert 19 on the country's state of emergency have the fines and jail sentences are threatened for anyone who creates or publishes information of the what is deemed even partly false critics say the law is an attack on free speech. the king of the zulu nation in south africa goodwill still a teeny has died at the age of 72 kidman receiving hospital treatment for diabetes he was an influential leader for millions of zulus he assumed

that's around $6000000.00 people and warned that many challenges still lay ahead. and remain serious the case numbers are rising again slowly but they are rising and imitation is a spread ng will have to brace ourselves for some very challenging weeks in which we'll continue to try to balance the necessary public health measures against the melody we're all desperate to return to so. let's bring in our political correspondent julia south delhi for more on the story hi julia you've been listening in to that press conference so what more was said about the rise in case numbers. now we heard last who is the head of germany's infectious disease agency support was health minister said the cases are rising he said we're at the beginning of the 3rd wave of the pandemic we've seen cases reach over $12800.00 today and that is the increase compared to the to the same day last week we've also

seen the incidence rate rise that is the number of cases per 100000 inhabitants over 7 days and it is a strong indicator that is used here in germany to look at the. pandemic and decide on restrictions the list said that the incidence is on the rise especially in young people and also we have seen outbreaks in nursery schools because kids have been started to go back to school now and the effects are being seen he said a lot of this is due to the british variant spreading here in germany and that is putting also more people in hospital and more people and intensive care units he says the way out of this is the vaccine and he says we're already starting to see the effects of the vaccine here in germany with fewer than among older people vaccines are supposed to help so what was said about speeding up the pace of the vaccination campaign. yes germany and the government have been criticized for the

slow pace of the vaccine but health minister you want to just point out successful things that have happened in the last few months and as we heard earlier 7 percent of the german population has been vaccinated and he has received the 1st those at least and germany has registered the highest daily number of shots being given on a single day and that is progress he expects more vaccine doses to be livered at least by april also looking at the johnson and johnson shot that was recently approved johnson and johnson deliveries coming in by mid april and german house home doctors g.p.'s are going to start and ministering the vaccine themselves also by mid april and spawn hopes that both these things are going to speed up the vaccine rollout our political correspondent julia so delhi think you know the

european union has started a pilot project in a small town in austria to see if the fines for vaccine works on the south african very of the corona virus the region of 2 it all has been especially hard hit by the south african strain now the e.u. has shipped more than 100000 doses of the pfizer vaccine to this region as funny for char reports from the town of shots tens of thousands of lucky residents are being allowed to jump the vaccination line as part of the trial. simon is relieved to get this message a confirmation that he will get vaccinated on saturday i'm very happy to help. especially science to get new insights about the coronavirus about the vaccines his friend raphael didn't get any appointment for a simple reason he's in the district of shots and i'm in the district of inspiring and regional religious and yeah that's unlucky for me it's received 100000 doses of

the biotech pfizer vaccine allocated by the european union to stem the spread of the south african variety here you must be a resident of shots to receive the japs the mayor here hopes this is a chance to restore the region's image. as an important region for tourism we want to be attractive again for all those who want to go on vacation we want to offer that in a secure way. and if it's benefits ultimately the whole state of fuel can including the capital in spoke in dire need of tourists to be the east just around the corner that's the hope of governor who wants to spread some good news. here noticing a decrease of the south african variety we had 193 active positive cases now we have 47. when it's in this cebu field seek

a complete eradication of the virus and is the goal only nobody knows how effective the biotech pfizer vaccine will be the medical university of in spoke will money toward a vaccination plan turning nearby schloss into a real role to test. and. we want to see how many people get infected despite a vaccination over a period of 6 months and how many still need to go to hospital or will die. for. he steam will analyze the information provided by schwartz residence giving student physical data habits and medical conditions at least 5000 people need to contribute to the study to get valid results and these people are the 1st to get their vaccine under this extraordinary plan 60000 people are eligible and more than 75 percent of them have resisted they are sighs of relief from those who have gotten their 1st job today hoping that soon they can return to

workers have died since the cup was awarded to qatar 10 years ago most of them from india nepal and bangladesh denies the report. officials say there were just a few deaths on the construction sites of the world cup facilities and infrastructure there has been a construction boom to support the event 7 stadiums and airport roads and public transport. these workers mostly come from south asian countries and also kenya human rights organizations have repeatedly criticized the working conditions and despite new laws in qatar they say the poor conditions have not significantly improved. debbie is rob watts has been looking into this story for us hi rob i tell us more about why the company's decided to pull out now well these 6500 deaths over the past or 11 years since cattle was awarded this world cup with

the final straw really for hendricks they've been visiting cattle various times since it was awarded the world cup to advise them on that and they haven't lights what they've seen while they've been there they've felt that the safety measures in place not to the level of the you would expect in europe for example they felt that they've seen workers migrant workers who have not had the necessary equipment to make sure that they are safe and they've just felt overall the way people are being treated that isn't right i mean they they see the difference between the qataris the normal tories on the migrant workers the way they dress and they feel that it's something they don't want to work with what about this number that we mentioned 6500 deaths how reliable is that well it's well sourced because that number the guardian has come into it by asking government from the the homelands of these migrant workers and 5 governments provided them with details the governments of

india pakistan bangladesh nepal and sri lanka and this is how we've come to this 6500 number but the thing is those are not the only countries that are providing workers to qatar there are for example kenya in the philippines have a lot of migrant workers in council working on these enormous projects but they haven't supplied any of the numbers to the guardian in this in this instance and maybe they haven't been collecting these numbers which means almost certainly the figure will be higher now the qatari government for its part says well yes i think it does look bad and it does accept the number but it says actually for a project the size of what they're trying to achieve in qatar that is about in line with what you would expect because they've used something like 2000000 migrant workers so far after seeing this one company pull out what press. don't you think that's a really are we going to see other companies start to boycott the world cup in qatar well there seems to be a momentum building about this particularly in europe and actually in norway and

denmark there's some very serious conversations going on that the norwegian football clubs have been calling on the national football association that to withdraw from the world cup in qatar and in denmark the the company that sponsoring the kit to the training kits of the danish team said they don't have anything to do with the world cup so i can say there is a mental building behind this but it's not the 1st time that we've had suggestions of a boy causing a major sporting event for example we have something similar for the sochi winter olympics and for the world cups in rio and in south africa and they did not really materialize now i'm just internationally is saying look a boycott is exactly what is needed to describe this is the world cup of shame and compared the treatment of workers to slavery but whether or not the boycott will go any further than this one dutch company will say he did he was robbed watch thank you for bringing us that very important reporting for. well let's get a reminder now of our top story here on g.w.

more students have been kidnapped in nigeria gunmen are feared to have abducted a large group of teenagers from a college in the northwest of the country police say they have joined forces with the army to try to track them down. coming up next our health and well the show in good shape looks at what we can do to make sure we have healthy and strong bones and why that's important stations.

one looks like a boat the other like the mood and the 3rd has the shape of a p.c. and they're all in here in your wrist because those are 3 wrist probes or the 8 your body is made up of more than 200 different burrows and this is what to do shows about. from the tip of our toes to the top of a head bones give us structure and stability and help protect out in organs such as the heart lungs and brain and adult skeleton is usually made up of 2 $106.00 bones and up to $52.00 teeth to. the longest bone is the femur or fibro it's also one of the strongest able to bear 30 times our own body weight it's as tough as steel. joins articulate the bones so we can move the ball and

socket joints allow movement in many directions they're subject to enormous wear and 10. still they often serve us well far into old age and usually work fine longer than artificial replacements some bones are part of our sensory organs the 3 smallest bones are in the middle here they transmit vibrations caused by sound waves from the to the in the ear bones are living organs and made up of various parts they covered in a membrane called the periodicity m it contains blood vessels and nerve fibers so it sensitive to pain the next layer is the compact but after that comes the cancer list bone it's light and porous a bit like a honeycomb and provides structural support the spaces are often filled with marrow mostly yellow marrow the red kind is mainly to be found in the middle or a cavity. the cavity. with blood vessels is where red marrow creates new blood

cells we need billions each day. and young children all the bone marrow is red because they need for new blood is high in adults red marrow is only found in a few bones mainly the vertebra ribs breast bone and pelvis calcium is the main component of our bones so we need to get enough of it otherwise they become weak and brittle we also need magnesium and vitamin d. to get calcium circulating in the blood into bones. both exercise and impact are important for maintaining bone density and health. strong vital for our health and we all can take good care of a. boost in routine how with sports and exercise people who are guarded regularly have a higher bone density and there's low risk of fractures. the lower legs of track

runners have about 30 percent more bone mass than normal the upper arms of a tennis player up to 40 percent more. pleats like volleyball players have the strongest bones as they jump and hit the ball but can even non athletes train their own bones into better shape we ask therapists reoccurred morse and bone specialist dr how that works. to take you saw throughout our lives bones continued to be remodeled and renewed in response to the stress on them right into old age there's plenty of activity going on constantly. that's because the muscles attached to our bones pull and exert forces on them if the bone doesn't move it will fracture over time however that elasticity decreases that's where the team of bone renovators come in cells known as osteoclasts osteoclasts and austere sites. plus other clean up crew breaking down bone tissue that's become too weak.

then come the osteoclasts they replace missing bone material. that's for the osteo sites. there for men who oversee the entire operation but this otherwise well organized team has a weak link by the time we reach 40 our osteoclasts start slacking off when it comes to delivering construction material. this can result in a loss of bone mass osteoporosis. but people can help themselves through physical activity 3 or cooler ml's knows a range of simple exercises for giving your bones a workout. out in the shopping mall she soon finds passers by eager to join in. place your pelvis and belly on the ball with your feet providing support of the

back and then from around a position you straighten your back and body with your arms forming a u. and then back down again. 2 sessions of 10 repetitions help to bolster all the back muscles which pull on your spine that instructs the body to send fresh bone mass to every vertebra. now if you do i could do something for hours for that area. the next exercise is on all fours. the hen isn't all that in your hands need to be directly beneath your shoulders and your knees under your hip joints you then stretch out your right arm and your left leg and then draw in your right elbow to meet your left knee in the middle and then stretch out again very good. exercises like this are called functional training. as long as you don't have osteoporosis you can practice

at home on your own as a preventative measure. if you do have osteoporosis you should ask your doctor to prescribe sessions with a physio therapist alone or in a group. the final exercise is beefing up your fire bones and your training equipment here consists of 2 bottles of water and you move forward one step at a time using your knees as springs. it's the spring if that matters not how low you go you should do this for one or 2 minutes at a time. and the exercise also means a workout for our sense of balance helping to keep us on feet and avoid nasty falls more good news for those good old bones. almost 80 percent of our bone structure consists of calcium compounds that's why it's good

to know which foods contain a lot of calcium and which foods calcium leaching foods that's a perfect mission for medical peter to find out together with an expert. when it comes to setting up a recipe for healthy bones dr stephanie cave in a has plenty of dietary tips easing off the only chance to has years of experience helping patients to help themselves. hello let's talk about our bones. reports. products also important for our bones because our. continent what is an expert we. we command daily intake of one glass of milk 2 slices of cheese and cottage cheese.

it's not consumed what. green vegetables have a high. concentration like broccoli we have also mineral waters that have a high. concentration up to 600 milligrams politico's so if you take one or 2 liters of these constant intake a sufficient. source for truth. comes to a lot of fluid or is that also important for older people it's absolutely important in young age because then we're building our bones but also in post-menopausal women or older men and it's also very important to have a high council intake so that the bone is not. getting weaker. getting problems severe problems. substance to our bones as water indeed was

that yes vitamin d. is absolutely important in the whole. bone prose so the transport. and integration of calcium into the bone is depending on vitamin d. so if you do not have sufficient vitamin d. in your blood. gets to be a problems normally if we see the sun every day we get enough to mean the activated in our blood we need 30 minutes like one up to one hour per day and this is. in germany quite difficult other countries where this is not a problem. but in regions where this is a problem we supplement vitamin d. 800 to 1000 international units per day you should take them. with your breakfast or with their lunch because they need some fat to be really resolved but what are those up and close to the need for both on the vitamin side we need might

even be 12 and folic acid which for instance in len tilts i do mean b 12 is also in dairy products. or in fish and meat on the other foods interfere with our cod so absorbed or liev schreiber or both what that all about fate is a really big problem we have lots of 1st faith in our food especially in convenience foods and koch. which is like coke too but you shouldn't have too much force feed daily intake because this is a constant problem for the cancer result. on the other hand we have oxalic acid which is for instance high concentration and chart which is also interfering in the ball with the cancer and so the consume cannot really be resolved ok i am

supposed to. have the diet from the heart of the diet from my liver off of my brain and sore all over my bones to rip this all in to where they live yes it's important to eat a balanced diet if you eat pizza and drink coke every day this is not good for your brain for your bones and for nothing and not for your heart. you have to eat on the bases of vegetables and fruits drinking is very important string of water and other. fluids and. carbohydrates proteins and meat and fish dairy products very important and then just a little bit of sugar and a little bit of fat and then you have a perfectly balanced diet ok i get my summary every day a green salad with lots of screws. that sounds perfect like this you're going to

get really feel. for those under your work and. those can it only break they can develop diseases as well like bone cancer it's a rare disease that it affects mainly children and adolescents the symptoms are not very specific because pain in the arms in the legs or in the joints could have various other causes so bone cancer is often misdiagnosed so that's why treatment often start at a late stage and many. nations are forced to make a very tough decision but florian fischer is in his element for him being able to run around the soccer pitch like this is nothing short of a miracle. it's a lot of fun to play with the guys here we're a great party and don't care about who has what health condition on the pitch everyone's equal and we just enjoy playing. playing on crutches clearly doesn't

diminish the fun. now 23 fisher was 6 when he had his 1st kick about on the pitch he dreamt of becoming a soccer pro but he kept having a nagging pain in his right knee for years his doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong and then finally came the diagnosis bone cancer. i was 14 so of course i had other things on my mind i didn't know how my life would go on and my parents didn't know how to deal with the diagnosis either. but in the back of my mind i was thinking what about the soccer will i be able to play again it was tough. despite chemotherapy and surgery is kneecapped giving him problems. his family supported him through the very difficult time. to conceive our lives were turned upside down florian was in the

hospital as well we most of the time we had 2 daughters who needed us to and who also had to deal with the fact that their brother was so sick it was a tough time. florian couldn't run or play soccer and doctors couldn't say when the hospitalizations might end he had to decide whether to continue treatment or to amputate his leg but it's all of it is for me the amputation was a ray of hope for me i had walked with crutches for more than a year i couldn't do anything alone i couldn't get dressed or take a shower it was the only option. and there were forget the moment when i woke up and saw my 5 for the 1st time it was like a burden had fallen away and because i needed the prestigious to be able to walk again it had a positive impact on my life of a positive life was thanks to the prosthetic leg was able to walk again in just

a few months he finished school train doesn't electrical engineer and discovered amputee soccer. i didn't think i'd be able.
