flown a tough stop. taking a look now at some other stories making headlines at this hour media reports say security forces have shot dead at least 5 people who cross several towns in central miramar the junta has cut internet access and issued arrest warrants for online critics at least 550 civilians have been killed since or february 1st 2. militants have attacked 2 warming bases in somalia according to reuters news agency bases located southwest of the capital mogadishu were hit by explosions a convoy of troops was also targeted an army officer says there are casualties on both sides and they have regained control of the bases. covered 19 vaccines have arrived in a remote indigenous village in brazil's amazon a state that country is stepping up immunizations to better protect its most at risk residents brazil's outbreak is the 2nd deadliest in the world after the united

states the country currently accounts for about a quarter of daily coronavirus related deaths more than any other worldwide. well german president frank valter steinmeyer will make a rare appeal to the nation this easter weekend amid growing frustration with the pandemic and factions are once again surging in the country with more than 18000 new daily cases in a prerecorded address set to air on saturday steinmeyer will ask germans to overcome a crisis of trust in the government the pandemic has held up a mirror to our country reflecting our compulsion to lay down rules for everything our fear of taking risks the shunting back and forth of responsibility how can we change that and how can we make our institutions more resilient we will have to address that at the moment however we are in the midst of the 3rd wave and it will

take all of our strength all of us together to overcome its. chief political analyst melinda crane will put these statements of the german president into context for us greetings belinda who is steinmeyer really addressing here german citizens who are politicians. well really he's addressing both his speech begins with an acknowledgement that yet another appeal to fortitude and patience is not what people are looking for but ultimately that is one of his main messages he essentially says to both citizens and politicians look i know that this is a long slog and the mistakes that have been made the difficulties we face they have chipped away at both sides trusts that citizens trust in politicians and perhaps also politicians trust that citizens are doing their part and he essentially says

we are only going to get through this if we all poll ourselves together and then he issues what is a fairly strong warning or even an indirect scolding to the politicians themselves as we could hear in that sound i. know shimei refers to the desire to regulate everything the fear of risk their shuffling of responsibility which he driving at. well in the one hand he's driving at what is sometimes seen as a. german preference for erring on the side of caution and issuing rules to cover every eventuality but he's also talking about german federalism and d.d.b. a constant tug of war in managing this pandemic that is going on between the federal government chancellor merkel and her cabinet and the leaders of the

regional states and the reason for that war is that the german constitution does best authority over health policy in the states they are the 1st policy makers who deal with that and therefore there has been a constant back and forth especially in the past 4 weeks let's listen to what else the german president had to say. we must all pull together my fellow germans we must give it everything we've got there's no use merely being outraged about others or about alida's rather than constantly pointing out what doesn't work we should point out that things do work when everyone does their bit that is what i'm talking about when i talk about trust because ultimately trusting in a democracy means nothing other than trusting in ourselves for the long clearly steinmeyer talks a lot about trust and hope in his speech why is that. well in card it's because

that is his constitutional role he does not set policy he essentially serves as a kind of moral compass for the nation which is why he places so much emphasis on trust but also on hope and essentially trust and hope go together he says there is good reason for hope as germans go into the easter celebration which of course is all about hope and he says the reason for hope is that the vaccine rollout is really beginning to pick up speed now people will have an opportunity to be vaccinated but they must trust in the vaccine in order to take up this up or this offer and this opportunity and therefore he makes a very profound appeal in his closing remarks to people to please get vaccinated because that is the way out of the bed demick you chief political analyst there linda crane many thanks melinda. 2 german football now

and this weekend sees the most important match of the bonus legacies and so far 2nd place leipzig host 1st place by in munich the defending champions a win for life sic would put them within a point of the top spot and leipzig chances have been bolstered by an injury that will keep byron's leading goalscorer out of action. when a club has to leave this kind of talent. this kind of goal scoring powerhouse. this robert leaven dusky on the sidelines or in the stands it's going to hurt the guy was on track this season to actually break a 49 year old boy in this league a goal scoring record. then playing for his home country poland he suffered a knee injury expected to put him out for a month so how can byron beat the club nipping at their heels leipzig without their wonder score is he pushed. to riled up about this because i don't have it being.

maybe we redistribute the team a bit we do have other players who can play at this position so we approach this in a positive way it's now yeah it's a challenge for us but we'll face that. there's much to face in leipsic at leipsic stadium it is one bundesliga club that doesn't fear the defending champs in december they played byron 2 or $33.00 draw at byron with 11 dusky so player and coach in confidence is their. coach you really are not goldman says biron is obviously better with their top scorer but leipzig his game plan won't suddenly change. over the course of the bundestag a season so far as 11 dusky scored almost half of byron's total goal count leipsic have spread the scoring out. in this leavened off the last match up between the top 2 clubs the 2nd place team on paper have an edge was. and a reminder of the top story at this hour investigations are underway in taiwan

after the country's worst rail disaster in decades $51.00 people were killed when a train smashed into a construction truck that had slid onto the tracks the country has entered a 3 day period of mourning. you're watching t.v. news coming up next shift living in the digital age with a look at digital new tracking don't forget you can stay up to date with all the latest headlines and our website that's the w dot com i'm like a local from me and the rest of the team here in berlin thanks for watching. i was issued when i arrived here i slept with 6 people in a room and. it was hard i was for. i even got white hair in. my language head. this keeps me and

maybe to this truck was the site you want to know their story from my friends are fighting and reliable information for migrants and literature invites us to see people in particular that i like to see some of the kids find strength growing up. my objective is to work or find beautiful. on you to. according to my fitness trek i've already taken $2628.00 steps today and i got 7 hours of deep sleep that's about average this devise can even determine my mood seriously but is that really a good thing how healthy is self optimization i would topic today on shift.

do it get enough exercise to eat the right food have i had enough water today am i relaxed enough according to a recent survey about 33 percent of the global population has already tried out digital health records the market for fitness wearables has tripled since 2017 and it looks set to grow much more say experts why are we so obsessed with self improvement and is there something wrong with this not according to a psychologist you would have mongst off. the principle optimisation is a part of our new like it's developing further which is one of the human fundamental needs it's hard on all of us but there is a difference when we talk about self optimization this entails reaching optimum capacity or reaching us or go along and this is often linked to self value and status. we try to get fit and eat better to improve our

bodies but what about our minds well also apps and gadgets that contract our mental well being and in these times of crisis many are starting to use such trackers but how do they work i took a closer look. at how you know question the world is asked more often it's also what i've been asking myself for days now i've been using delio to track my mood in the morning at mr. and in the evening i can choose from 5 emotions this morning i would say that i'm good. i tell delio what i'm doing how i'm feeling and translates this data into statistics. they're holding the riot trick is available online they are almost like digital diaries a place to record on hold and a cavity. evaluate this information and draw conclusions about psychological health . can't really analyze the use

a smooth. a person can have so many different emotions feelings are very complex and these apps can simplify complex matters in such a way that they might not useful. delio can only track my mood when i'm using it actively it doesn't know what happens in between and that information doesn't turn up in the statistics. i don't think the ad was that useful for me personally but it could be helpful to record one's daily activity in order to recognize certain patterns but to do so you already have to know yourself quite well. that take other factors into account that quite a bit. now that i'm in the office it's time for the next test feel response can measure the sweat on the uses skin this information will be linked to mood related data. i will input my mood into the app now that's

a joyous because i get to see my colleagues the wristband wanted to some biometric data on my blood pressure for example and translates them into emotional patterns and to recognize them when i'm joyous in the future. i don't know how precise these measurements are but on the basis of my responses to questions about concrete situations will propose certain mindfulness exercise it. and there are all kinds of variables such as these on the market now some claim that they can recognize or use emotions through their voice others detect and measure brain activity all these headbands wristbands rings measure physical data and give advice on how to improve mental health some even say that they can help people to overcome depression but you did most of has someone who works in this regard. we should remember that we should never transfer responsibility for our own life and the psychological well

being of our health to a digital app it can be helpful to use them but it's very important not to use them responsibly and to be aware of the risks. after work i like to switch off and this muse had been says it can help according to the makers it uses 7 sensors to detect the brain's electrical activity which it then transforms into understandable experiences so the user can wind down and meditate if i'm not calm i will hear sounds of a storm which will remind me to concentrate on my breathing if i'm feeling calm i will heal. i can hear some very light rain and some wind. from time to time this and. that indicates that i'm really relaxed over. what i'm talking when it's getting heavy on the way in favor of being true so i think a bit of contemplating. i

would say that mu trick is going to help people to go about their everyday life in a more mindful way but it is important to not relinquish full control and to not take them and the exercises they prescribe seriously i doubt that such gadgets can really have uses with serious mental health issues for now people can still decide themselves whether they want to use these quantified self apps and devices but what if they didn't have a choice what if their employers ordered them to you. the mood tracker. lots of work multitasking and difficult exercises this is daily life at tiny a start up based in munich the founders vision of the future is one where employees only receive as much work as they can actually carry out the idea is that software should allot their workload automatically so that the software can do this please have to wear a device that measures their polls all the time and there's a camera there films their faces the idea is to measure their stress levels and

emotional states and then the workload can be calculated. it is one of the developers he says he's not interested in surveillance or storing data but in flow . is a tutor this can be described as the perfect start between the feeling of being under challenge to the board and the opposite which is being stressed and swamped that place in between when someone is challenged can cope with the task in hand use flight flow. but do we really want a world in which software can get such a deep insight into an employee's emotional state the slow select from the german research center for artificial intelligence things not. then as. we don't want a situation in which such software leads to the surveillance of employees. with the result that someone might be fired if they don't perform adequately or if they're going through a rough patch personally and the system detects with subsequent negative

consequences this has to be prevented. at this munich startup employees have to actively agree to be tracked but will this always be the case these systems force people to share intimate information how is the data used and by whom. of course apps must collect data to quantify progress for example in health related research apple has collaborated with academics and published a variety of studies based on data collected by volunteers and their smart watches it might sound like a win win situation but i'm not so sure about giving that bunch of personal information to a private company. health as trackers collect data when users are sleeping eating and exercising but they also gather other information for example regarding location users often have no idea what is done with their data benedict is a lawyer who says the terms of use are frequently formulated in

a very vague way. many companies are just connecting information and don't even know what they want to do with it sooner or later there will be some kind of commercial use for the data right now data is already being sold for targeted advertising that certain groups and individuals and health insurance companies are also very interested in such data some of them are already offering cheaper rates to policyholders who agree to track their own health related data the system for this is great for those who are healthy it's not so great for those who are not in the end it leads to people being selected according to their risks to the. user should think very carefully about the amount of personal information they're willing to divulge to some shops. data protection is obviously a big issue but do the apps even do what they say they will there are all kinds of new fitness apps and gadgets flooding the market they're supposed to encourage

users to exercise more without a trainer but do they really work. but there's a wealth of research into the question of whether it makes a difference if a person uses an app and tracks their activity or not and so far what it's shown is that it makes a huge difference to people's motivation many are more likely to commit themselves to their health and stick to it if they track their activity and see visible progress but it is not yet been proven that this actually makes an impact on health and whether users really do more exercise we just don't know that yet. in addition some fitness apps can actually increase the risk of physical damage artificial intelligence and instructions in years can help people tailor physical activity to their own needs so that people are more likely to hurt themselves if they do the exercises wrongly and can't ask a real life instructor for advice. if the user wants to do

something right there is a lot of work involved a good trainer will have a certain experience that. trainers made of flesh and blood still have an important role to play. and that doesn't just go for fitness apps even small devices can have huge drawbacks a friend of mine wanted to track all the stages obviously to optimize his sleeping pattern but he got so stressed out by the whole process that in the end he couldn't sleep at all and that might be helpful for some but not for others it's very important to find the one that's right for you this is what our expert says. just an individual one person is unique and not even the best dabs can map all the highly individualized elements that make a person and help them to develop an app make suggestions based on the aggregated

data so it can never be tailored precisely to just one individual basically no user should ever follow is just blindly but always ask whether it really makes sense for them personally. however for a person in crisis any kind of support is better than none at all so even if it would make more sense to talk to a professional and out with at least give an indication of the direction somebody wants to move in and how they might want to develop so i would say use the apps but make sure you always question their advice. what about you have you used fitness apps and what trackers have they helped you reach your goals . on social media on d w dot com if you want to find out more about these gadgets check out our you tube channel by phone now.
