possibly they are they did have been sacrificing their careers and lives the whole call out for that case and now they are all being arrested and that means that actually is it more difficult for us to fight for democracy however i think the the civil society to not give up on oversee activist house for a mistress try to strike for democracy as you show under their national succeed will under the crackpot of the beijing government earlier we had the opportunity to speak to a former chairman of the hong kong democratic party mr human soon and he said and i'm quoting him now that democratic values are deeply rooted in hong kong's culture but if you're not allowed to speak your mind if that is considered something that is against the law then what's left i think of calls on the national security law day to silence many up with its opposition and limits of

the speech and embrace of a political freedom the home however i believe many homeless this still find ways to express themselves and expression the people who are now in exile or immigration to other countries they would just try to use to put to sea to be out of places to help share it and decide that it's a useful mission to counter the u. situation of the city has been achieved its objective i mean you are currently in exile you know there is international criticism as to what is happening in hong kong but nobody's doing anything nobody is getting involved. i think of course if we have more help from the international committee and that's will be really great but all we also witnessed you asked the rupee union how he's there are actually getting a much stronger and having stronger stance against china for example the e.u. already stopped like i'm having a political deliberation with china we guarding the e.u.

and china faster than you and i believe that more and more countries should join this battle and try to strive for democracy for all the people who suffer under the c.c.p. which is senator hong kong activist and politician currently in exile in the u.k. sir thank you very much. thank you. when we met steve there was some of the other stories making headlines around the world japanese prime minister your she day guy has become the 1st leader to hold face to face talks with u.s. president joe biden vice president come on her welcomed mystic you got to the white house and increasingly your sort of china is likely to be the focus of this one day summit. with the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov says moscow will tell 10 u.s. diplomats to leave in retaliation for the expulsion of 10 russian diplomats by washington the u.s. ordered the diplomats to leave over russia's alleged interference in the u.s.

presidential election and other malign behavior. french president's emmanuelle macaw has held talks with the ukrainian leader for a lot of years olinsky on escalating tensions with russia german chancellor angela merkel also joined via video link they call the moscow to halt a military buildup along its border with ukraine. several people have been killed in a shooting in the u.s. city of indianapolis gunfire broke out at a fed ex depot near the airport police have confirmed that the gunman is dead. germany is seeing its highest rise in corona virus cases since january a one of the main reasons is the slow pace of vaccinations fewer than one in 5 germans has been given a 1st dose but the vaccination drive has picked up speed now in recent days and among those getting a 1st jab is none other than chancellor uncle americal her office released this

image that you see right here of her stamp vaccination document the 66 year old was given the astra zeneca vaccine and said she was quote delighted. you know you political correspondent and young joins so much to unpack here simon how much of a shot in the arm for the vaccination drive in germany is chance america receiving her astra zeneca job today. well of course a does show the vaccination campaign is he's moving forward but in some ways i suppose you could say this shows that he's moving forward roll the slowly here in germany engler medical is 66 years old and she's only getting have 1st shot now so you know as as is were being reported you know we're not moving forward as quickly as many would like but. who didn't seek to make a media moment out of this way they just released that picture of vaccination

booklet and the statement saying that she was the very pleased to get the the jab and also saying that vaccination she says is the key to get out of this pandemic meanwhile they're still debating the lawmakers about you know introducing a stricter measures to well to tame the 3rd wave let's take a listen to what chancellor merkel had to say in the parliament today then enough i've seen more not unkind and if we've learned a lesson 13 months into the pandemic it's this. that's a virus doesn't forgive any half heartedness it only makes things worse you know the virus doesn't forgive hesitation it just makes everything last longer. the virus doesn't accept any negotiations it understands only one language the language of determination. the chance of their making her case or earlier are we simon going

to finally see german lawmakers stepping up to the plate and finally taking those steps that public health officials and medical staff have been pleading for now. well i think ultimately we will because most medical experts say we are in the middle of a 3rd wave and they're already seeing the signs of that with real pressure on many hospitals around the country but there's been quite a lot of argument about these measures particularly the ones that people's personal freedoms has been part of the plan is to impose night time curfews when the infection rates go up and there's also talk about you know going back to closing schools just when people were hoping i think that there would be a lot more opening up america who says that every day counts but it looks as if this legislation might not actually pass through paula meant until the end of next

week so it's a battle of the political level but some people feel that this legislation really will help. now in conclusion assignment that we're beginning to see glimmers of hope this week with vaccinations finally kicking into gear will this be enough to break the 3rd wave or at least contain it. well as i say the belief is that vaccination is essential and it's an essential part of the program but it's also true to say that germany's rollout has been very slow we've now had over $20000000.00 doses of vaccine delivered but that's still only 18.5 percent of the population that's had even one jab so you know it's not moving as fast as it needs to elsewhere in a seriously infectious variance all mutations that cause serious disease

a rise that could really complicate the picture. the political correspondent reporting thank you very much. the un is warning of an escalating humanitarian crisis in northern mozambique more than 600000 people have been forced from their homes by islamist militias due to abuse if you increase travel to a region plagued by insecurity. from the the islands of mozambique snore than coasts look like paradise but life on the ground is increasingly difficult as one of the last islands that have been spared from islamist attacks a flood of refugees has more than doubled its population in just a few months and united nations a commission isn't able to feed everyone. who was. there who have been here

have to indulge in recent years due to poaching deforestation and hunting. next up on the latest on the pandemic in our covert 19 a special that's coming up in just a moment and we'll have had lines for you again at the top of the hour hopes the left's. the fountain and the coronavirus pandemic. has the rate of infection been developing what does the latest research say. information and contacts the coronavirus update 19 special. on t w. 1986. it's their story their very own personal drama. the people who

survived the catastrophe remember. and they share private footage with us that has never been seen before. in chernobyl starts april 26th on g.w. . the long term health effects of the corona virus a still polio understood. some people bounce back quickly. while others struggle to recover from the virus facing trouble focusing and breathing. suffering severe symptoms like organ damage. researches and turning to new types of therapy. as we learn to live with code

19. and if that's too wacky for you how about an opera singer to teach you how to breathe more easily if you're suffering from long covet the w.'s london correspondent berkut mascotte up with an operatic voice coach. knowing bubbles to help with. susie do basic training. she's developed special greeting exercises for patients and for some of them it's a bit too hard work at the moment but what it does is it just allows your voice a little bit of a chance to unpressed. sheba says it's thanks to suzy that she feels well again and is able to take up your hobbies just a year ago she was suffering from a lung infection and needed oxygen. 3 months on

i remember feeling so fatigued breathless i mean literally from my bed to the bathroom i would just get breathless. shiva never dreamed of. pressing us would be the ones to help her through. down to show the high. in weekly zoom sessions participants love to relax and improve that posture and most of fool to breathe and just hold that for a moment we think a lot about knowing breathing down because. if you're breathing you're taking in lots of data and actually tend not to expanding so just giving people tools to slow things down and give them in a moment is really out. of this. being part of

a group. i could have never imagined coming out of that darkness all by myself so it's been a huge support system for me it's like my family now we had i guess you can say a common purpose to get better and more beautiful way to thing. out and heal them at the same time the shiba dreams of singing on a real opera stage together with others like. that. i still miss her with restrictions allowed inclusion national opera plans to stage it very special opera. patients. then she was singing. run frances is a cardiologist and you children joins us today and covered special so can blowing bubbles special breathing techniques and things like singing actually help with

long or even help protect from covered 1000 in the 1st place. i think the honest answer is we don't know for definite because we simply don't have the data specific to kobe but we can compare to other similar kind of her spirit tree viruses and i think that's certainly when considering long coded and you know we have got. things to compare with post viral fatigue syndrome is nothing new but they've been rather neglected. i think in medical research so hopefully this will mean that we allocate a bit more resources to things like that i think yes breathing exercises certainly can have a role in the long type syndrome i'm not sure that it necessarily has a role in the acute setting in the initial set in when you're infected and acutely unwell i think breathing exercises aside from just staying mobile and making sure your lungs are well ventilated i don't think it necessarily has

a role there but in that chronic condition which obviously is troubling a great deal of people i think it has a row what about something like cold exposure you've looked into that quite a lot and i've been living here in germany for quite some time now and know all about coal exposure. yes i think this is an interesting kind of phenomenon that. maybe. is slightly kind of simplistic in how we're looking at it but essentially that we know that exercise is obviously got many proven benefits to physical health and mental health as well and exercise is all about sort of making your body work a little bit harder most of us lately pretty sad injury lawyers and we're not getting the kind of physical exertion that really. evolved to do and so we're quite familiar with the concept of exercising to try some of those benefits and cold exposure and maybe things like sauna both of which have an evidence base although i

would just advise a little bit of caution because i think a lot of the claims that you'll find online are a little bit outlandish but i think it's all part of the same phenomenon of trying to stress the body in a controlled way and maybe improve our overall physical fitness so can you give me some of the tips that you give us on your own on prepping my immune systems are better handle a corona virus infection. well the 1st thing i'd say is that if anybody gives you a suggestion about how to boost the immune system that's a bit too easy it's going to be too good to be true because i think the best way to keep your immune system in the optimum shape is by maintaining physical and overall wellbeing and fitness and that's with a healthy diet and regular exercise and a quick fix is on really going to do that so in terms of preventing infection you know again it's nothing too complicated it's all the advice you've already had social distancing mask wearing and those kinds of things no amount of immune system

preparation is going to prevent an infection but you can prevent the severity by by having a good state so if you do get infected as long as you're in the best possible physical shape beforehand that's going to be your best preparation what about something like that make much of a difference. yes a yoga i think actually has quite a considerable evidence base behind it now yogurt of course combines different elements you know we mentioned breathing which is central to it but also physical exercise as well so in terms of things like that the women off method which. brings in a lot of yoga practice is alongside things like cold exposure so yoga as it is a nebulous and off as i think many many benefits it should also be said that you know one size doesn't fit all so you don't have to can't try to crowbar yourself into a yoga program if other. techniques work better for you but i'm

a big fan of the benefits that yoga can offer and we've seen that not only in terms of the physical benefits but i think it particularly in this day and age meditations enjoying a resurgence and that offers a lot of additional benefits on top of the of the physical side of things ron i guess one of the big questions is can you actually go as far as saying these types of techniques are viable alternatives alternatives to conventional medicine. you know i'd certainly be very cautious of suggesting anything like that and again i think that would raise alarm bells if people started saying that kind of thing conventional medicine. is simply a way of talking about interventions that are tested and proven so that there's nothing on natural one a natural about the other if things don't work then we don't call them proven

methods and so i would always regard this as an adjunct but not a replacement however if you. pay attention to all these these preventative methods maybe you can avoid coming into contact with what is dean this sort of conventional medical system and that's great but if you do get you know heaven forbid and then of course conventional medicine is going to be the thing that's most likely to help cardiologist from francis thank you very much for being on the show today thanks very much for having me. and over to derek williams for the last time this week and if you question about the availability of russia's ha grown karate vaccine. when will the russians public view vaccine be available in europe. since its launch last summer sputnik a has generated a lot of controversy but but some of that has died down since the publication of phase 3 trial date in january indicating the russian made vaccine is effective and

safe india approved it for emergency use earlier this week becoming the 60th country to do so among them a couple of countries in europe including hungary and serbia slovakia also wanted to begin vaccinating people with sputnik v. as well but has become embroiled in a dispute with russia about the quality of the doses it received most e.u. member states however are waiting for the european medicines agency to weigh in it monitors new medicinal products seeking approval in the block and it makes them before olds to national health authorities the e m a is still looking at the evidence and still carrying out inspections if it does give sputnik the thumbs up orders from vaccine straps european countries will

follow of course. because of the early controversy gaining wide public acceptance for the russian backed seen in the e.u. would i think prove tough sputnik be is also based on the same platform as the astra zeneca and johnson and johnson vaccines which in the current climate won't make the sell any easier but but with approval if russian manufacturers can deliver another big f. then i suppose sputnik v. could start going into more arms in europe by this summer if you have a approval is withheld. the most of europe's national health agencies will also probably refuse to greenlight it. lastly lebanese doctor is among those who have developed an unorthodox method for testing people for covert 19 we leave you with the specially trained sniffer dogs they can

detect the virus of a person in just a few seconds even in very early stages when a p.c.r. test with guilt negative their margin of error is just 5 percent even so the techniques not intended to replace regular testing but has been rolled out in a number of airports like dubai helsinki and sydney thanks for watching stay safe and see you again sir.
