is focus on hate speech color prevention and sustainable charcoal production. all of a sow's are available online and of course you can share and discuss on africa's facebook page and other social media platforms. hard fighters tune in now. on the foam term health effects of the corona virus a still poorly understood. some people bounce back quickly. while others struggle to recover from the virus facing trouble focusing and breathing. those suffering severe symptoms like all been damage and. research is a turning to new chimes of therapy. as we learn to live with code 19.

and if that's true 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 to get mascotte up with an operatic voice coach. knowing bubbles to help with. susie do basic training but. she's developed special greeting exercises patience and for some of them is 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 un press. she says it's thanks to susie that she feels well again and is able to take a few hobbies just a year ago she was suffering from a lung infection and needed oxygen. 3 months song

i remember feeling so fatigued breathless. i mean literally from my bed to the bathroom i would just get breathless. shiva never dreamed of. seeing as would be the ones to help her through. the height. 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 breathing down because. if you're breathing you're taking in lots of data and actually tend not to be expanding the so just giving people tools to slow things down and i think the minute my mind is really out. this. being part of this. 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 think. out and heal them at the same time the shiba dreams of singing on a real opera stage together with others like have. that dream come true i soon as per week restrictions allowed english national opera and i was to stage it very special opera. patients. again you seem to. run frances is a cardiologist and you cheaper and joins us today and covered special so can blowing bubbles special breathing techniques and things like singing actually help

with long covert 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 there'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 covert 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 role 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. it is slightly kind of simplistic in how we looking at it but essentially that we know that exercise has 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 sedentary lives 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 and 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 system survive better handle a corona virus infection. well the 1st thing i'd say is that if anybody gives. a suggestion about how to boost the immune system 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 mosque 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 primo 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 yoga of course combines different elements you know we mentioned breathing which is central to it but also a physical exercise as well so in terms of things like the 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 think conventional medicine. is simply a way of talking about interventions that are tested and proven so there's nothing on natural one and 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 cardiologists run 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 growing karate vaccine. when will the russian sputnik vivax be available in europe. since its launch last summer sputnik has generated a lot of controversy but but some of that has died down since the publication of phase 3 trial data 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 ols 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 strapped european countries will

follow of course. because of the early controversy dating wide public acceptance for the russian vaccine in the e.u. would i think prove tough sputnik he 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 of then i suppose sputnik v. could start going into more arms in europe by this summer if you have a approval is withheld. then most of europe's national health agencies will also probably refuse to greenlighted. lastly a 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

when looking at some of the contenders for the golden statuette andra de stars in the united states versus believe holiday it's the grammy nominated singers 1st major acting role and she threw herself into it even taking up smoking to make a voice sound more gravelly the result is a degree of authenticity and passion that's winning her accolades. please use your name and this is really good. for his kids this could be you are you do things you do this when i took. a. single 100 day praise jazz on the holiday gets to use 1st ever film role on its own turf a well deserved golden globe and an oscar nomination she. didn't

want to do it. and i kept trying to get out of. the reason i didn't want to do it was because i love billie holiday and i was like why would her story so. why would we hire someone who's not an actor to do this was the story of a part of the journey from poverty. the fame down back again has been traumatized before but this film explores a little known chapter in the 1940 s. her song strange fruit about the lynching of black people in the american south made her an f.b.i. target black body. in this sad. breed. strange fruit. sad. pab cheese this holiday i want to disclose a lot of people who think. those words provoke people will go to plan she is

enough to do it. united states versus billie holiday is an unflinching portrait of a courageous fight under diet plays the role with heartbreaking intensity it's the story of a charismatic woman who in the end even won over the plaque f.b.i. agent sent to bring her down. the listen to this show. multiple births awards and grammys and a platinum deb you album that's not. denying the talent of do at least the singer from london describes her style as dark pop album future nostalgia was released this year the bucky melodies reminiscent of the disco era and not just good for adults they have an empowering feminist message. to

you know when leaving the house. moving into the goal seeing if you will if those hits the message to the forest is clear respect our founder. was deafening. that it could show. you a little parents were kosovo albanians they. students when war broke out in the region fled to london jo was born in the british capital her name is albanian for love. in london she was known as the girl from kosovo but when she was 11 papyrus returned to push dina.

i definitely felt like the new girl a lot of the time as much as you feel like you see leave london you're like ok so negative and people going to think my name's not and i'm going to be you know things just going to be a little bit different and you go in your own it's like the english girl it just came to cross over and it was hard and i really find myself being a party place as i'm very much from london and i'm very much appreciate that. she dreamt of becoming a pop star and made that dream reality that made 15 she return to london without her parents who trust her to make it on her own she done to be fearless at an early age. my grandfather was a historian in kosovo and. i guess when the war started there were lots of things happening obviously with the occupation of the serbian forces and my grandfather was. well i was told that he had to rewrite history and to kind of change it and

obviously he refused to do that and. he got taken out of work you know during the war i think that's incredibly strong of him you know to be able to stand by what's true to you i think a lot of that has rubbed off on you know my parents and what they've been very firsthand. and during the war that happened in yugoslavia but it's just been you know they've empowered me so much and this story is incredibly inspiring and i feel like i have a 2nd hand like strength and empowerment and the feeling like can do anything overcome anything and be whoever i want to be you know and. reach whatever goal i set my mind to. today she's one of the biggest singing started in the world her videos not chopped more than a really unique views political just go with a message of empowerment. when you think about renee and you think about

strong and powerful and when you think about women it's more like they're vulnerable and nests and they're sensitive in the delicate and that's fine but we're also very strong and powerful we can be all those things. great is always a mirror of the times and this is the era of the male empowerment. they say and as easy. the death of the u.k.'s prince philip husband to the queen received wall to wall media coverage his funeral on saturday will be watched by millions around the world as was the recent t.v. interview with his grandson prince harry no matter the event interest in the british royal family has never waned but how popular are they here in germany the

country many of their ancestors came from. queen elizabeth and prince philip on a state visit to germany in 2015 their 5th official trip to germany together once again they were futuristically received some german travel to hundreds of kilometers for a glimpse of the royals. that's the most of my we just got to do it and i'm very glad we did. before they embody certain values tradition pride and the friendship between england and germany perhaps the queen is a special kind of personality when she's in germany you have to be there. the british royal family is very popular in germany royal weddings are broadcast live on german television and millions watch during state visits republicans can briefly become royalists. you can. project a lot on for the entire royal family because they are so present in the media but

at the same time the royals personally want as little as possible to be known about them and of course many people find the tradition and the glamour fascinating the ceremonial aspect that castle's the titles the carriages. but most germans don't want that own monarchy abolished in 1918 back 2020 poll conducted by in protest showed that 85 percent were opposed to having a monic as head of state but germans are nonetheless very interested in the glitz and glamour of royal houses around europe. prince philip's death also touched the hearts of many germans german newspapers had emotional front page coverage the day after he died chancellor angela merkel praised his integrity his dedication to duty and his friendship with germany prince philip had a special connection to germany his parents were german nobility and he spent part of his childhood in southern germany to marry elizabeth he became british and

changed his name from battenberg to mountbatten. prince phillip had an infamous sense of humor which often crossed the boundary of political correctness but he understood his secondary role and always had the queen's back with loyalty diligence and which prince philip earned respect during his 73 years of marriage to queen elizabeth the 2nd from subjects' in britain and from royal fans in germany. now one of the most photographed statues in europe is undoubtedly michelangelo's david $2000000.00 people visit their nacelles masterpiece in florence every year just imagine the time savings if there were more well there will be because we store as a using the. just technology to make a perfect clone the finished product will be on show this october at the world expo
