the stories focus on hate speech prevention and sustainable charcoal production all of it so it's are available online and of course you can share and discuss on africa's facebook page and other social media platforms. crime fighters tune in now . or get. the problem of society we have at the moment is every one of the great of making a mistake what may happen if we don't do. the pandemic has changed life as we know it. but what comes next. will our fast paced lives pick up again. will we continue to innovate regardless of the cost.

live lives profit driven. and globally connected. or has this pandemic sparked irreparable change. how will we live in the future. after the pandemic. hello and welcome to covert 900. 11. life after the pandemic from what it means for cities to economies even nutrition today climate change as the world focuses on getting past the pandemic the urgency of climate change has taken a bit of a backseat but slowing global warming could actually be critical for preventing future disease scientists warn that it warming planet will provide fertile ground for viruses and other pathogens and introduce disease carriers to new habitats. a

german climate activist and author david nellis has been mapping out some of those dangers he spoke with us earlier take a listen you know one example is the type mosquito which spreads to the end of fever and that you could come you're going to possibly live just. asian regions because of climate change it's warmer he has sort of came to europe and therefore the risk reasons to be affected because if you if you're in germany organized. german climate activists and author david nellis there for more on this let's talk with he's dean of the party school of global affairs at boston university professor now jumping you so much for joining us this connection between changes and wildlife habitat and disease has the pandemic helped make this clear to normal people and perhaps added some urgency to climate change. i hope it will i'm not sure it has certainly had the beginning of the pandemic until there was

a bit of fear mongering about how it had come here but all concerned about it about you know how did it get here and because you know places that it had transmitted from sort of the zoological system or into the human system there was this concern that maybe even if the genes were stuck looking at meijers the end you needed i hope what will happen and is happening not as much as i would like but i hope the great message is that we have to live in coexistence with nature that nature has a huge think that nature it is what not issues us and if we restrict the space of nature different or strip the space of biodiversity then nature will hit back in the vs for example that your guest was talking about we don't get all in the view that we have seen with koalas that in some ways the big lesson is that there is no human held the doubt because people help the 2 come together that's about the management of climate change managing the pen demick has required an incredible lot

of collective action and sacrifice which climate change will also require based on what you've seen so far from the pandemic should we be optimistic or pessimistic about the fight against climate change. at this point and i did but i do do hope it really should be very heated flecked of about what has happened we should try to think part of it work or just happened we're going to learn about ourselves about our own behavior and we should have a concern in some ways this pandemic give you an early warning if you will of what it truly ordered matter because you've heard it before what are truly global crisis looks like you know we've talked about climate as as as a as a crisis possibly in the future and having this in your face meek's you pain can should make you think there are good lessons and there are some disturbing this is the disturbing lesson is that this was not a very global movement our immediate reaction especially in the beginning was closing up. it was getting tribal was building walls was trying to blame the other

was trying to put more workings are ok i say have too many doing the problem myself i can shoot my ventilators i can't really give you my mosque if you go back to march of last year the good lesson if you want is the lesson of vaccine development for example the lesson of science coming in to help the lesson off listening to knowledge and intervene in the choice that we will make really to do in the future in something is the sad part is and this is what is very much like climate change we sometimes act surprised there's been damage happen but there was no surprise in the burnett we knew about and there he talked about being there because he prepared or he said we prepared for print comics and yet we didn't kill him we have ignored it so often that vivid found to be unprepared that is exactly the story with climate change at the same time i wouldn't you happens no one has the right to feel

surprised when we look at climate change versus the pandemic the pen demick has very specific in that as we all get to a certain number of vaccines we reach herd immunity with climate change there's no solid there there perhaps does that make it more difficult for someone to imagine tackling climate change versus the pen demick. it might it might make it more difficult but it also makes it more urgent your exact time of change does not have access whether it is pfizer or know our astronauts go whatever they are not to come up with a vaccine or build that you're going to be bought in climate change will be solved yes there are various reports corded apish and we will have to adapt and adopt issues will not be comfortable and adapt nations will not be be be cheap as again we have learned that in the bending of independent if you know what is it that dish means something bad happens and you adapt to it you learn to live it so you build your buildings higher if seeds sealable it's right that. i be a distributor because of discord i'm adopting where that is exactly pink about what

we did with the pandemic we had that are we learnt how to build a mosque we learnt how to lock ourselves up we learnt how to not need to mess be learnt how to not hug people we love how much that is what did not teach us and the lesson is a definition is not comfortable how much harder will that shift be will those adaptations be especially as we're going from the end of the pen to make to climate change i get the feeling that not many people are in the mood to talk about personal sacrifice right now but they'd rather be rewarded for a period in which they feel like they've already sacrificed a lot so maybe taking more trips things like that. yeah i think i think you're right i didn't have yeah i don't want to begrudge them sort of going out and sort of you know after having me locked up for a year but on the other hand this is why this should be a more different flexion this should be a moment of learning because you've also got so many things right we have learned good lessons we have learned the lesson that if you spend a dollar in advance to overt

a crisis you will see of millions of dollars when if the crisis hits so i think those are the lessons that come not in terms of climate in bendemeer can particularly in the beginning there was a little sort of target ok we were driving as much and we want to be using energy as much and because action will go down i'm sure not sure that has exactly happened maybe it's happened in a few cases to the extent it does happen you know climate strategy should not be locking people up in their hopes. and on the other hand we found there you know we have a consumptive species we find new ways to consume wheat be other people do come and travel on our behalf and emit carbon on our behalf and develop and drop food act on our doorsteps black the r e v p r e smart species we should learn from this i hope the biggest lesson we learned it's not that we will all become sort of self-sacrifice that's that i don't mean that some are over the question is not some sacrifice this question is smart behavior we

do not get pleasure out of emitting carbon via get pleasure out of quality of life and i hope for going numb it also teaches us is that what you know of life means more than just getting into your car and getting stuck in traffic car i will have to leave it there for now professor. with boston university thank you so much for joining us. let's check in now with our science correspondent eric williams for another question related to climate change. demand for meat is growing and that has consequences for human health and the environment how does science trying to address this problem our hunger for me contributes in a major way to climate change and environmental degradation and the conditions in which billions of animals are kept also poses a direct health threat to humanity since experts say intensive animal

agriculture provides a nearly perfect breeding ground for pathogens to evolve so what's science doing to help improve the paradigm well 2 things jump instantly to mind one is all that research behind plant based meat alternatives that look and taste like the real thing but are mostly made from the ingredients like soil or or peeves or mushrooms discoveries in a range of scientific fields especially those that involve how we process taste and texture are improving the experience of eating those products which is reflected by a recent big boom in demand. the other science driven approach to the meat problem involves the cutting edge field of cultivated or cultured meat it's based on the

fact that animals themselves are actually pretty inefficient meat factories lots of what you put in comes back out again as as problematic waste or it goes towards creating unwanted by products like like skin or bone so so why not just grow only what you want the me directly from the right types. cells replicated in giant bio reactors the science behind doing that in a commercially viable way has actually proven pretty fenech a maybe you remember the hype around the 1st lab grown burger back and 2013 which cost 250000 euro's to make but the technology has come a long way since then and production costs are coming down fast and the big question of course is how willing people will be to buy it.

our own sons of birds eric williams there that's it for us today thanks for watching stay safe and we'll see against of.

staying up to date don't miss our highlights. program. w dot com highlights. as defined for the. warming doesn't get very. drunk of the most well known yet. the industry is controlling your

thoughts the great books of the 20th century. the present day hoaxes. manufacturing ignorance starts may 3rd double. just. coming up on arts and culture what does dressing up even mean these days the whole year and so they're kind of the 19 crisis had to paris for the answers from fashion insiders and see how designers are even embracing some pandemic chic. but 1st one of the most eccentric artists of the 20th century and one of the most daring there was a voice made art that was hard to categorize he filled corners of museums with

animals that covered himself in honey and gold leaf and even spent a few days living with a coyote and in new york city gallery always fascinating often difficult to understand the german artist's legacy lives on a century after boyce's birth germany's staats gallery museum and stood guard as paying tribute with a new exhibition. got going good. design i didn't want to cause it to go through if i was going to push to you don't do you know that in. the. use of voice wanted to be more than just an artist and he ended up becoming one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. the shots kind of the stock is honoring the centenary of his birth with an exhibition one that asks what boys still has to say to us today when the lesson shall find with us the legacy of us of boys is incredibly multifaceted there's the political

voice who was concerned with ecological issues and grassroots democracy very early on but the most interesting thing about boys is that he changed the way we think about art nothing while quince to endow tatts. can art start a revolution that's what you'll see of boys wanted to know the starts kind of the owns one of the last rooms the artist set up himself in 1904. since then nothing about it has been changed at its center or boys as typical materials of beeswax found metal and battery. for him energy flowed here representing his personal philosophy. when i was kid it presumes. that there is a spiritual world and he was always very concerned with bringing spirituality back into our daily lives he always believed in the immortality of the soul.

it must be honest the most and in the engine of my body views on the almost magical to the article you just as if you are soon. in 1982 boys provoked west german society by melting down a replica of the crown worn by tsar ivan the terrible and creating his peace hair out of it it was a scam to the hair as a symbol of resurrection and alongside it voices crucifixion with 2 containers of blood. work such as these made him the best known artist in west germany but also the most controversial. for his room and took it from 1904 boys hung a work by andy warhol despite the obvious differences between the 2 world famous artists voice and warhol shared a mutual fascination for each other. 100 years after use of force is birth how much is there to discover about him that's really new for one thing

he's under increased scrutiny for his life during the nazi era and for all the mythologizing of himself he did reeve writing his own biography and for the way he presented himself as a savior and prophet still voice doesn't leave people cold perhaps he's just the sort of artist the world needs right now. felicia this what's this piece of false hope to be. on plastic if there's. this. artist joseph boys is being celebrated this year a 100 years after his birth and events and exhibitions across germany antidoping reporter michael kruger has more mike a serb or is clearly wasn't a modest guy did he really think that he could change the world with his art well at least he wanted to change a lot of things and he didn't. did he change the world of arts he created the idea that everybody is an artist he believed in the creative powers of the mind is something we all have and he saw himself as the person who was just giving us the

idea so boys now is considered one of the great artists of the 20th century was that clear from the start or was it clear that we were still going to be talking about him today inside the out scene absolutely he was right from the beginning a rising star but outside the world of art it was a bit different because the people just didn't know what to do with a strange guy with a hat not painting or creating sculptures just do weird things and there are a few stories about cleanest destroying his art installations because they didn't realize it forced art and half of germany was laughing about it because a lot of people at those days were asking this question is this really odd but you know it was just impossible to really set everything he did. that was maybe part of his miss the mystery so at least he had all the attention where and of

course if you make sculptures out of fat you risk someone coming along with me trying to clean them what exactly was his obsession with that why did that play such a huge role in so many of his works facts and felt by the way and there are several elections in his life he repeatedly told us i guess none of them really happened like that in what war 2 sat he was hit by a russian aircraft fire he crashed in crimea a clan of nomadic ta-ta found him covered his body in fat wrapped in belts and they saved his life so the story goes and as an artist he worked again and again with bob and felt speaking about story a lot of people now accuse him of glorifying his past as a soldier for nazi germany. this is a very fascinating question that hasn't really been discussed so much until today. but you know it was this generation where most everybody was really involved

somehow in the wall but this will be discussed very intensively and this year there's a voice was born 100 years ago he died 34 years ago just briefly why are we still talking about you as a boy is it because he was a visionary a brilliant storyteller and this as he created a still vivid today like this one. he was very popular in united states because of this story he stayed 3 days in a cage with a co u.t. his idea was to make peace with my nature and at least he made peace with this with a guy michael krueger i think so much thank you well and in the united states former hollywood producer harvey weinstein says he didn't get a fair trial weinstein's lawyers have filed an appeal in new york against his conviction last year for rape and sexual assaults they say the judge didn't ensure an impartial jury and should not have admitted testimony about misconduct that

didn't directly relate to the charges since conviction last february was seen as a watershed moment for the meet to movement after scores of women accused him of sexual harassment or assault he's now served one year out of his 23 year sentence and is still awaiting trial on other sexual assault and rape charges in los angeles . for a lot of us the covert 19 pandemic has been a time to finally clean out our closets and why you can shop for new clothes when you have no place to wear the money way the fashion industry has taken a huge hit but believe it or not designers are still putting out new collections of clothing they say reflects the times here's more from paris. an outfit like this turns heads even in the fashion capital of paris the whole donkey is right on trend with her metallic kimono style. and she should know she works as

a stylist for various fashion magazines and has already dressed like french actress catherine deneuve. said but. it's shiny it's a little oversized shimmers it's just what you need right now you simply want to look good and the sleeves are why i think this outfit perfectly represents a woman in spring summer 2021. contacted me. designers are going for sparkles and silver this season whether from head to toe with glittery accents like a pair of shoes or a handbag fashion journalists say this trend reflects a longing for a prepared to make special occasion dressing. basically disco clothes to go out and how far or sparkle. you know things that are for the evening when nobody's going anywhere the evening but you know you could always get dressed the whole take

a selfie. think in all its nuances it's also a trend this season bringing a cheerful pop of color to the runway. german designers is fusing the striking color with the next trend also inspired by lockdown. this is the sort with him on the phone and out with this is the 1st look i started with. and the 1st one that came to mind it's just pajamas. it's what i lived in during the 1st weeks. and everything and i wondered what i could make out of it and thought why not pink pajamas. but i think it's great you can go shopping in there too you can leave the shirt open or button it up depending on who you run into at the supermarket. the comfortable oversized look is also one of the overall donkey's face fashion editors view this trend as a reaction to the long hours spent at home. because it has to

be relaxed about things where enough. volume is considered a game but it has to be done in a sculpted way. and ideally it should be made to recycle regenerate from brick. in this current season a bit of extra volume for the upper arms is trendy too. puffy sleeves are very fashionable with them. up the sleeves are definitely back i think the shoulders are much bigger so we're not really in the eighty's but there is a slight once that we had the big fold and much with the smooth sleeves are very important lots of work on the sleeve they can be can be embroidered they can be chiffon and transparent but big voluminous and here's another eye catcher crop tops are back in

a number of different styles there midriffs are trying to get. but there's good news for those who want to cover up to a minimalist cheek. minimalism every turn and people like. lying in the eighty's and ninety's. so fashion followers take no casual outfits without a lot of frills but made from premium fabrics found with a special element or sporty touch will be a hot demand this summer. time to put on that tracksuit maybe with some puffy sleeves well whatever you're wearing it's been a treat to have you with us and if you want more arts and lifestyle news check us out any time at d w dot com slash culture that's the me and the whole crew here in berlin and thanks
