welcome to news asia that you could join us india has reported a new double variant of the virus off the testing samples in a western region it isn't yet yeah if it has been sponsored. in maharashtra the news comes as india marks one year since the government imposed one of the strictest. in the wild now the country is facing a possible 2nd wave of infections despite increasing availability of vaccines. finally he's getting the. human c'mon michel fell ill with call the 19 a few months ago and the vaccine is a reason for hope for him after

a tough feel both of them were removed because problem was that there wasn't any medicine or cure. so when a person suffers from a disease for which there is no medicine. he suffers mentally as well. to. remember he would be here at barnard by this a year ago today all of the prime minister more the announced a nationwide lockdown with just a few hours notice. the sudden shutdown was meant to curb the spread of the virus but it put large numbers of people out of. migrant workers left big cities and headed back to their villages on foot. images of thousands of workers trying to don't draw it without food and shelter went to. a humanitarian disaster the country wasn't prepared for. as the number of infections and deaths draws the country face another crisis. health care infrastructure appear to be on the brink of collapse

without enough hospital beds for. this man lost a family member to call 1000 last year he ditched the hospital but the staff was too overburdened to give medical attention this was not the only such incident then professor keshia not ready a public health specialist says the lockdown brought hardship to many but was necessary i think we did gain time for preparing our health care of social system for me with economic systems to some extent for responding to there could be a make with greater level of preparedness for what followed it also did have an impact on the immediate kiss count and count as case counts feet in september the government stepped up efforts to tackle the plan to me and took some comfort from the country's low mortality and high recovery rates since january this year india has put its focus on a massive vaccination drive against called in 1000 privatizing health care workers

senior citizens and people. despite some progress there are now fresh concerns as we compete a year of the world's largest common 1000 locked down here come to a point now where india is the real thing i 2nd 3rd of the wires with multiple feet reducing measures and restrictions in an attempt to help the spread is the face of red he says the country ought to be better prepared now to know we know the public and precautions that really helped bring down the pandemic later on in multiple places and if you let their guard down like you would have been like many parts of us did you will pay a price for that knowledge we have but it's precisely the experience of the previous year that has got some people who brought it about. rise in numbers again it's uncertain the future about business about what's going to be happening next whether it will be not going to do spirit move spread less they believe this is

a reaction we have. people are becoming careless they're not wearing masks properly people are going out to shop i'm not maintaining distance distance travel of me i thought i don't need to take a solution if i take it that big question actually but because of the sudden increase i took it actually with a year of dealing with the pandemic behind us the country is facing a familiar challenge yet again at the 2nd wave of the virus begins to creep. in there is among several countries which abstained from the un human rights council resolution authorizing a probe into alleged war crimes western countries that passage of the motion while 7 asian countries voted against it the u.n. believes up to 100000 people died in the decades long conflict that ended in 2009 with the defeat of the separatist timon tigers rights groups say the sri lankan government has tried to conceal the past atrocities by current leaders she lanka

has condemned the un measure as unhelpful and divisive it's clear that the resolution has had no mentor to be approved of the comms it is the reality what do they want to see and any of these resolutions without the consent and acceptance of the country concerned cannot be implemented that is the basic principle and for more on this i'm joined from colombo by because . she's a former commissioner of the human rights commission of sri lanka the sri lankan government has essentially said it won't accept the council's resolution how effectively being without sri lankan cooperation. well i think on certain france it will not be effective because if the government is not there instance even meant recommendations in the resolution like conducting inquiry in

the very aryans into allegations and walk right reviewing the prevention of terrorism act except that they have of course they're going to be any progress on that but are not a level that we can see that will get progress to what accountability because the office of the high commission of human rights will be gathering analyzing. documentary evidence that a view to taking the accountability process forward and they've also been monitoring the human rights situation in atlanta and reporting back to the human rights council doubtful the human rights situation is not far off the radar but it continued to be on the human rights council and the agenda but does the government or cared about you or another year in here when rights council resolution given that the government is trying to frame it as a victory saying that the large majority of patients didn't for crawford

well i think we have to say yes they refused to accept it but that does not mean that they did not care because the fact that they are putting in a lot of effort to portray it as a victory means that the other loss of face and for them it's important it's something that is important and also for the fact that during the last few days they are very active lobbying you know with family bash with india. there or i see countries that shows that to them this voice importance where they do not agree with the results of the beat and not discount the importance of it to that. there were lots of to wrists with intrude on co who had been lobbying in the run up to this vote and who for years have been demanding accountability from the government is that a fear that the government will double down on its already poor treatment of my not appease like tunnels and muslims and other activists that is that here in

god's own right for the soul that is the obscene street of state that it's basically it's easy to be agent in the rathmines of civil society and i pointed out you know it's going to nation much like nation of tamils and muslims and he would eat so in the coffee meat that it must be that maybe 10000000 muslim activists also love the thought is that there is definitely that concerns about possible groups i write all that definitely. lots more to talk about because i have to leave it there for the time being for today all because south can often thank you so much for joining us thank you. now this structure right here behind me in the modern day pakistan is more than 4000 years old it's part of the ancient city of 100 auto the center point of the bronze age indus valley civilization but more than a century after it was 1st discovered it continues to hold more questions than

answers for researchers particularly sort of german a killer just who spent 5 decades at the site. the remains of a once flourishing civilization. $100.00 r.-o. was one of the world's most advanced cities of its time. when archaeologist michael young 1st saw the ruins he was amazed at what he found. when i was in the 100 daro for the 1st time i found the bricks used to construct walls i thought i was back in germany. the same brick the same format that we still used today in germany in europe is a european standard it was perfected 4500 years ago in mahindra daro. more andrew brought up to morrow and the. 100 dollar also had

a complex water supply and sewage system. and says it was better than many modern day cities. a highly technical society with a complicated water supply system well how can you build such wells these are highly modern drainage systems in the 1900 centuries even in europe until recently brussels had no sewage system a phenomenon that still exists in most cities 4500 years ago daro had a perfect drainage concept. the 83 year old german archaeologist has spent 5 decades helping investigate and preserve. for his work young son was honored with one of pakistan's highest civilian award however he believes a lot of work still needs to be done to promote the state locally and

internationally. both. must bring this knowledge about the culture to schools the children have to learn that they grow up with it and if you grow up with it you will take responsibility for the preservation of the cultural heritage and. there's a lovely unesco slogan. from the. group of few true. we can only exist if we have a past. and his young son has shown in mohammed although the distant past was often anything but primitive. that a bold body double. in the might capture of the images from one hand to the auto that we leave you with today thank you so much for watching over.

t.v. . now it's a film that premiered this month at butlins international film festival and is coming soon to h.b.o. and sky tina promises never before seen footage of the music icon and features personal recollections by tina turner a south. look what i have done in this life with this body place ever get in the cotton field exert myself all day never was not talking for. 3 minutes i was how young go born is and i'm a bullet became the superstar you know china the story of the hell she lived through with hospitals and musical partner ike turner and how she escaped is familiar but still packs and the motional punk. in some ways we are telling that story to a new generation. but we're also hopefully exploring it through tina's point of view and what it means for her to be kind of. so associated with some of the worst

times like i have a piece of life as no other way to tell the story to pay 97 china china divorced her husband all right i don't know what a solo korea by the 99 g.'s she was one of the biggest pop stars in the world no i don't consider it a comeback tina had never won a role. in her just have to remember those times. in a certain stage forgiveness takes over. well i've only seen the trailer but i'm joined by my colleague adrian kennedy has has seen the whole film adrian what did you make of it. when it is an incredible story and this is a remarkable documentary after me i was a little skeptical up front because a lot of the story is very familiar to you tanner thaws talked about the abuse that she received at the hands of her ex-husband ike in an interview in 1981 with people

magazine this documentary makes extensive use of the odia recording of that interview further revelations came a few years later in the fingers auto biography cina and that book was the basis for the quite harrowing bio pic what's love got to do with it in 1090 free but this document tree does manage to present this in an even more stark fashion there is graphic descriptions of the abuse she received and the hell that she lived through all of the world believed that she was living the dream life of a successful star right that we heard tina mentioned forgiveness there is this the final chapter of the story. she mentions fickleness but it's pretty little bit abstract a little bit vague it's more about letting go about healing for her in the past she has said that she could never forgive me for what she did to her but here she does

speak with some sympathy about his insecurities and about the discrimination that he experience as a black artist in america but like died in 2007 and there was no reconciliation while he was alive but tina story does have a happy ending i believe because tina actually found love here in germany that's right indeed she lives securities life in swiss villa with her husband german record. because if. they met in the eighty's they married in 20 seeing and she calls it how true marriage and get this back even though 980 kilometers of the singer when she suffered kidney failure in 2017 well that's what i call true love is there any hope that tina might be out of retirement no not really she's she retired 2009 and she has said that. she enjoys doing

nothing so we really only have the music and we have this documentary which is more than just a run of the mill music documentary it is also a poignant tale of survival against the odds ok and all of us can see tina from this weekend on h.b.o. and sky documentaries thank you very much for giving us a taste i thank you. more culture news now and another tell all music documentary is premiering this month's. my. world to be careful i mean demi lovato dancing with the devil the u.s. singer reveals she was sexually abused as a teenager the 4 episode series is released on huge originals this week it focuses on love otto's 2018 drug overdose and ongoing battles with addiction her shot to

and their environments something that's become especially poignant in recent times . today i tend. to use photography and film to show the world from an unusual perspective. but it hasn't always been this way the artist had a life changing experience in 26 scene after his paraglider crashed into a waste water reservoir. a stress suffered an organ failure clinically dead. this is the place where i finish my life and for mere i'll start a new life from this point to start to look at things differently. the biggest influence was on my own. women's gowns dramatically drawn out to reimagine the surrounding landscapes.
