'd i'm working on is women especially in victims of violence. take part and send us your story we are trying always to understand this new culture. and i think. you want to become a citizen. in so migrants your platform for reliable information. this is deducted news they sure are coming up today in the us capital heads into a week long lockdown. of boston corona virus outbreak pushes delis health infrastructure to the brink but could this situation have been avoided where in delhi for answers plus. beijing ops the entre on taiwan the chinese military conducts military exercises around the island sending a warning to taipei and its supporters.

welcome to news a show of glad you could join us india's capital dili is going into a 6th in lockdown as authorities contend with a huge over 1000 cases delis chief minister says the city's health system has reached its limits and harsh measures are needed to prevent its collapse the number of confirmed new infections has been breaking records almost every day. many thought they had got the better off the pandemic. but now the country is being overwhelmed by a devastating new way. no city is as badly hit as delhi. ice cases exploded hospitals there are breaking point. some patients are forced to

share at bat. and there's an acute shortage of oxygen. this is the chief minister says the system has reached its limits. the bats the covert 9000 patients offering up rapidly patients are being admitted to the hospitals very quickly intensive care beds are in short supply and less than 100 i.c.u. beds are available in delhi. authorities in delhi had already imposed a lockdown over the weekend ordering all but essential services to close local leaders hope the decision to step up the measures will help to mitigate the crisis some welcome the restrictions but others fear if they're not allowed to work the consequences could be drastic. it is essential that there's

a lot down here because right now the virus is spreading a lot. the problem with a lot of town is a daily wage and as you get 100 to 300 rupees a day well we go how will we eat well we sleep is the government going to come and give us this daily wage. but now with one in 3 tests in delhi turning out positive the government say it must act to avert a greater disaster the fear is that the surge in cases is due to a new more infectious variant of the virus they're calling on people to be more disciplined about sticking to the rules. but critics are also asking why religious festivals and political rallies that's a fueling cases as participants return to cities like delhi are still being allowed to go ahead for tens of thousands of families such questions come too late and if current trends persist then many mall will find themselves in

the same tragic situation. and for more we're joined now by the double correspondent in delhi on iraq how bad is the situation in delhi. where how bad the situation is the fact that the government is increasing the restrictions on the night got you to the video q. and to has announced a week long got you starting tonight when we talk about health care just. generally or will change as some people are calling it there are all of those all of those running out of general beds as well as beds results would be she's mentally oxygen supply even supply of medication we can see people running from hospitals all of the looking for bed looking to get their loved ones and we didn't but that is not happening people are actually seeing that there's a light was out and in on and out with this week local q. announced recant perhaps here at the dock lucky

a migrant worker excluded as well which of course was a little too late now when you know this isn't of course the 1st time that there has been in this situation and i'm wondering in bar have no lessons been learned from last summer. well they should just lot of those back or do a doctor i interviewed last week for story of the rising he says he clearly said that we haven't learned our lessons dearly the government would have been better the bag he had a go to do that people would have been more careful and be are seen as elected to reaching the only difference is it is much less much and much more of a bike right now and the doctors and the medical have the slides that asked for when doing the course of the week are not and it's in their words they say that the situation is out of their hands and it can't get much once and there is also just started its biggest ever increasing coronavirus cases of destroying more than 270000 in a single day what is leading to this increase went into letters jury's still out on

what would have triggered a weave like this that leave us seeing it is far more infectious than what we saw last year so much saying that it was the cause of ordinary people to closely keep people stopped following relations the point political of the government was also last minute implemented that their exploits were also saying that it had a lot to do with this new edition of the last one of the double nugent's 3 and a spot open day just unlucky zoloft but i have a point in what of course is that there couldn't be things which would have been implemented on time into the situation for example if the government allowed me allowed which they say the largest in the religious test of will and it's only now off the situation was much worse that some which ones have talked these are hundreds of thousands of people just as lot of gays doing all the ritual of the now these people and they go back to their respective called our villages and states we can see what i didn't actually didn't write and at the same time we have election that is being organized including by the national party the white agent when you're

out there on the last minute and please stay safe and thank you for your reporting . chinese military aircraft inventor defends on multiple times in recent weeks raising tensions in the region and increasing pressure on taiwan to respond the bible administration has thrown its weight behind taipei sending any sort of used to the island last week to reaffirm u.s. support taiwan has long been a source of contention between beijing which sees the island as tree and washington which supports taiwan's democracy. china aries no shray injure to military posturing in the sea and air around taiwan earlier this month taiwan said a record $25.00 chinese fighter planes entered it defends. the lounging at craft carrier has been holding drills near the island raising fears china may be

gearing up for an attack it's why u.s. delegation has visited taipei to reiterate support for its pacific partner. i can say with confidence that the united states partnership with one is stronger than ever we share deep economic ties. to democratic values and a critically important security partnership where i'd like to take this opportunity to thank the biden administration for repeating the importance of peace and stability across the taiwan strait recently china has frequently dispatched military vessels and aircraft this action also has the status quo in the in depressive fic and threatens regional peace and stability taiwan's military is dwarfed by china's that's not stopped it from some saber rattling of its own. the recent unveiling of a new taiwanese amphibious transport ship. china sees taiwan as

part of its territory and is trying to head off any ideas of independence the u.s. visit has. the taiwan issue concerns china's sovereignty and territorial integrity and china's core interests china has no room for compromise the us to have a clear understanding of the situation and history abide by the one china principle and notes play with fire on the taiwan issue or. the us has its own presence in the area and has been shadowing allow neighing this photo posted on the us navy website taking posturing to another level. analysts believe china wants to send a warning rather than in tech liberation of war but with both sides raising the stakes the fear is that one misstep could cause tensions to boil over. and

for more i'm joined by the double correspondent william young from taipei william how has taiwan responded to recent chinese military diversity on the island. so just this afternoon we learned that the taiwanese defense ministry is planning to buy more long branch new assault maize isles from the united states and in recent weeks we have also learned that taiwan is launching its own. like defense programs and i was told like developing this on weapons as we see china's pattern of increasing the sending their military aircraft into time when a.d.i.z. in the southwestern part of taiwan might taiwan has also changed its own strath strategies rather than standing its fighter jets up and intercept the chinese fighter jets all the time shot taiwan is using its long range missiles to try to track and see if the chinese military aircraft has done anything that really

threatens time with security focus a bit about the overall taiwan new strategy we see that china has really changed its strategy and has become a lot more ambiguous about the intention or the motives behind as military moves and experts have repeatedly warned taiwan if it continues to use its for force to respond that is not only going to put a lot of stress on its financial the air force and the naval force finance but also at the same time it's taking away the time for its soldiers to train for the new weapons and for other different kinds of strategies that they can use in real battles so taiwan has really learned to become more patient they are smart and at the same time also become more ambiguous when it comes to however spawn to the frequent chinese military threats and aggression the last big u.s. president joe biden and japanese prime minister you should he decide you should

a joint statement and underline the importance of going to be some stability in the taiwan strait to oppose that being viewed in taiwan. i think that increased participation from japan side as definitely being the very positively and we are a lot of the people most people here in taiwan believe the united states is behind japan to try to push tokyo to become more committed and publicly like more engaged in the defense of taiwan because at the end of the day experts and japan and the united states government all know the. security of timeline is very important for the security of japan if china is able to project its power across and be on the 1st island chain that's the 1st country that's going to immediately be threatened is japan so that's very public and a rare move from both tokyo and washington is being considered as a transition in the long term regional strategy for both. the u.s.

u.s. allies but also for the japanese allies and the for japan itself as well were there in time for thank you very much for that. and of course that is an issue that you can find more information about on our web site www dot com forward slash that's it for today we're back to have the same time to morrow with more news for. my 1st boss was a sewing machine. where i come from women are almost by the social norms and then something as simple as learning how to write them by side isn't. since i was a little girl i wanted to have them by cycle of my home and it took me years to understand. finally they gave up invention by me and by snipers and returns with

the sewing machine sewing i suppose was more apt procreate goes than riding a bike. no i want to meet. woman back home full of bones by their duties and social norms and inform them of old dead basic rights my name is the about of people homes and a war even. welcome to the top of another week here on arts and culture coming to you from berlin and experimentation figures large in today's show with stories like this. a major figure of postwar art history in germany built a career on experimenting with light and kinetic art and he's still going strong at 90. and in our series 100 german musgrave's david leavitt's tells us about lost the

1st novel by hans. tackles tragic things with a jarring black humor. well we all know the expression necessity is the mother of invention and thanks to the pandemic of multiple lockdowns we've seen this maxim put to work in many ways as we've all had to change everything about the way we need and communicate or aero soap is an experimental design lab in dusseldorf that makes an art of making communication tangible and while the name may seem odd so is their approach. face must. we have all become familiar with them. to german designers from desert off came up with a new version. maybe not the safest option but definitely the

funniest. if i am thomas verts from frederick we got we are there are so all and it's big. but more than a traditional studio arrow soap is an interdisciplinary creative lapore a trait they realized projects at the intersection of art design and science these projects nature have all been to branding designers for international companies such as a job. when they are not busy with commissioned works they use that time to experiment with different materials such as slides to discover the different possibilities each material presented by their flight because the slime conducts electricity and offers a certain resistance depending on how much slime you have in your hand at any given time. we can use this conductivity to transform this data into light and sound.

with these experiments there are no expectations. that you will keep playing with the material in different environments until they are satisfied and can control the outcome. they even try different forms of kinetic installations. from this it all started with my master's thesis in which i investigated the relationship between type our graffiti and materiality especially with a thermometer. and with that. parents took their course and this is what came out of it. or. usually they start experimenting on a small scale such as in petri dish and. once they can control the variables they can then take the experiment to

a commercial level. the successful do you have won multiple awards for their creative work and most recently from the federal government as one of the culture and creative pioneers of germany. this is how they greeted the new year in 20 twentieth's and experiment with sodium water and then indicator. little did they know that the year was going to be as explosive as the experiment it sef. the designers met each other in 2007 here at the university of applied sciences indecl doff they still come here regularly but now as teaches in front of the it definitely gives you new ideas about approaches because you exchange ideas with the students who are also a bit younger than you and you get a bit more of the zygotes from the younger adults and that is very enriching.

today the past has prepared a surprise experiment for arrest and is a perfect example of how they use an extra 6 chemistry and technology to design a communication strategies for companies. this is an experiment that we already did at the beginning of last year which received pretty good feedback. the experiment has been refined for far not a little bit perfected years. right our goal is to be able to use different liquids . this is. for example blood or gold and liquids on the. net see the results. very nice indeed well back in the late 1950 s. in doesn't doff when west germany is 1st chancellor conrad i dunno i had campaign

posters made with the slogan no experiments a certain young hines took offense at that conservative sentiment and so he took a can of paint and he blackened out the no on every poster that he could find all the prank earned him a night in jail but the attitude stuck with him and made him a pioneer of the album garde art scene in germany. light is a defining element in hind smocks work each day he works in his light filled studio he places paints alongside each other blends them mixes them together. and looks to see how the light makes the colors glow. since the 1960 s. mark has lived on this former farm from the 16th century surrounded by plenty of greenery and his own sculptures. turned 90 years old last month. i get up at the same time every day i don't need an alarm clock i have an inner

clock that has set itself then after breakfast i go into my workshop where i studio usually for about 3 hours until lunch since the age of 85 allowed myself a 20 minute nap after lunch. then i go back to the workshop to give good advice also. that routine has resulted in a wide ranging body of work to const palast and dedicated an exhibition to the sculptor and painter in honor of his 90th birthday it focuses on his early works. starting in the 1950 s. mark was repeatedly drawn to working in the desert he sought a space outside of institutions borderless and empty he built artificial gardens of metal and light in the sand. and so that he would fit in with his works he had a silver suit made for himself an astronaut in the desert it's a hard project was basically landmark before that term was invented. modest i

noticed that the works i created here responded to the light in the space that they are like instruments and they did so in a fascinating way. with everything that seemed large to be here seem small there and depending on the light the opposite happened small things appear to be normal as you did. hines mark was one of the founders of the 0 artists group which also included. both men wanted to revolutionize art. starting from 0 the goal was art for all fantastical daring and playful it especially appealed to young people. who didn't if you have the courage just forget everything you've learned and start fresh and then you might have a chance to really discover something new. so experimenting was essential for me

it's for a mentor for me. max experiments with mirrors metal light and engines have gone down in art history. my life was dominated by the present day and of course i also have a strong tendency to look ahead or to the left or the right but looking back is not my thing it's that simple it is. thanks marc hopes to live to at least 100 years old and he has no intention of retiring from making art . well sunday's saw the academy of country music awards streaming live from nashville tennessee luke bryan. and luke bryan scoops the coveted entertainer of the year award for the 3rd time in a 44 year old singer wasn't able to attend the ceremony after revealing last week

that he had tested positive for the corona virus but it was still over the moon and here's a listen to his signature sound. and . acclaimed 1st novel lost features a child narrator who struggles with the shadow of an older sibling he has long believed to be dead well it's hard to imagine this has the makings of a star play funny story but it's the cynical child's perspective and a kafka esque twist that take this novel in i'm expected direction. it's the worst situation. can possibly imagine you're fleeing a war you're surrounded by enemy soldiers and you've got your baby in your arms what do you do to give your child away to strangers in the last months of world war 2 that was a common occurrence as the red army advanced german women and children fled eastern europe almost 300000 of those children who were separated from their parents most

were reunited. but that's not what happens in lost by hans or at least. it takes place years after the war is over the family in the book has made a new life in west germany where the economy is booming but they're still haunted by the trauma of losing their 1st born son. the author's own family really did lose a child during the war for tifa lost is an attempt at self healing it's written from the point of view of the younger son whose own childhood is lost to a hopeless search for his missing brother i was only just beginning to understand that arnold my dead brother had the leading role in the family and had assigned me a supporting part i also understood that arnold was responsible from the very beginning for my growing up in an atmosphere poisoned with guilt and shame the

world over the years the family's fortunes improve the father makes it from a butcher to a wholesaler but nothing and the pain of losing their 1st child sounds like a pretty depressing story what makes it readable is tyson's witticism which he doles out with plenty of biting humor. old. and finally tim curry is best known for his portrayal of them. ad scientists transvestite dr frank n. furter in the cult film the rocky horror picture show well the british actor and singer has been out of the limelight since suffering a stroke in 2012 but for his 75th birthday on monday april 19th will leave you with a glimpse of his heyday and wish him many happy returns and from us you're not.

league but you if it says you will consider all available measures to stop them plus. motional homecoming new zealand and australia create a quarantine free travel bubble family and friends separated by the pandemic finally reunited after more than a year. thank you very much for your company everyone. germany's green party is staking its claim to lead europe's biggest economy well for the 1st time ever they've named a candidate for chancellor and elena bair bok now aims to succeed america if the greens win in september's elections well opinion poll place them opinion polls

rather place them 2nd only by a small margin to america. with 2 party leaders one needed to step aside and harvick did so making an early now bear book the 1st green chancellor candidate ever in her 1st speech she promised a renewal and german politics and a departure from the status quo. she misses the matter if i get in must make changes to create a fair country a country where daycare centers and schools are truly the best places to beam a country where caregivers genuinely have the time and above all the resources to care for people so can my country in which the state functions digitally and serves its citizens. a diverse and cosmopolitan country of values space and strong democracy via after. the 40 year old became politically active within the

green party in 2008 focusing on foreign and security issues only 5 years later she entered the border start the german parliament at the age of 32 there she quickly and respect for her thorough knowledge of detail she has a degree in international law and spent several years abroad in the us london and brussels she now lives in potsdam with her husband and their 2 young daughters best series yet they carefully choreographed announcement came in sharp contrast to the bruising power struggle still going on within germany's conservative party both contenders there were quick to react to bear box candidacy. aniline of big congratulations and i mean a bare bark and i can promise her that the c.d.u. in germany is looking forward to a fair election campaign. volunteers and. it. it will be about the 1st place conservatives the greens hopefully it will be

a fair good and argumentative but also ambitious election campaign. i would be very happy to be a part of it but we are not there yet you know me. well the conservatives us still squabbling internally and only now baucus already focusing on the general election in september and on becoming angela merkel successor her political response i mean young is the story of for you simon now what are the chances of an elaborate becoming germany's next chancellor. well if they're quite good really she does still need to be endorsed as candidate by a congress of the greens or in june but. chances really are good because the party's chances are good the greens have been doing well in poll after poll in recent months consistently polling above 20 percent that makes them the 2nd

party in german politics at the moment so it may well be that come the general election in september the greens are then in a position to choose whether to join a conservative led coalition or perhaps to themselves lead a left of center coalition in the 2nd case aniline of bear book just 40 years of age would become germany's next chancellor and i would just say that bareboat probably does need now to over the next few months present herself to a wider public she's not. not a very troy politician she hasn't held high office her career has been mainly within the green party so she'll need to sort of spread her appeal if she wants to indeed end up becoming the next german chancellor as some or all of this is happening as the political or the leadership conference is still being played out among the c.d.u. and c s u where we at with that. well we have to the 2 contenders in the race

to be the candidate for the conservative side arm in lashon he leads the larger of the 2 parties the c.d.u. and marcus said he leads the bavarian c.s.u. and is considerably more popular in the polls the problem the conservatives have got is they don't really have a clear process for making this decision deciding between these 2 men they had hoped to get it done before today. earlier on today the varian c.s.u. held a meeting they said well they now put it in the hands of their larger sister party to make the decision so i mean last the c.d.u. leader is called a meeting of his tree for the c evening and what i can tell you is that there may well be a decision coming if not tonight then in the next couple of days but it's worth

saying that by contrast with the greens process of selecting and smoothly unveiling their candidate as they've done on time today as they said they would and what's going on in the conservative parties is a bit more chaotic and frankly disorganized political correspondent sam young reporting thank you. let's bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making headlines around the world. russia's prison service says it's transferring the jailed opposition leader alexina vali to a medical facility misson of on these doctors say he's on the brink of death 3 weeks into a hunger strike the united states and the european union have warned of consequences if he dies in prison the kremlin says mr vollies health should not interest the west. they use foreign policy chief says that some 150000 russian troops are amassed near euphrase waters while that's the largest ever russian military buildup in the region just a brown said there was a danger of
