are saying that we have conquered be the infection and i'm going to get out because the reason be them so be here that the you all to be are really just gathering such a good moment out was that as well as the political rallies in dave we are going to put election on of this game a common message that it does not matter where do you keep distance between the people who are. your door where the author of that conflict and the other thing has backfired and or thought so openly that a contribution often you really and which emerged in india and back to writing very up. are you saying that is more of a problem that the government didn't properly communicate the seriousness of the situations or is it that indians by and large been just don't have.

i wouldn't make that gender the 5th man but in the end dog can but of course that is if and then see to not strictly odio to the notification but what was needed was a very teeny a message from everybody all back to it and that is why i said religious leader says that as political leaders if you see them on the television audience in before we have them on 7 lines below there was a sort of bounce then give give the sense a false. assurance that all even i can be like fat in odisha does that then it was because the key if somebody has gone down significantly over the. last year to be disappeared that's a lot of businesses had opened up because it was needing to be in the i was in very bad financial situation and i think it's going back to the same situation again but this in please. fact it would be part of business or socog to be able to people

coming together without maintaining this is and you know one of the. highly dense populated got so as it is about maintaining the student might be easier for german people but not in the. uk technically in general and he also put a 1000000 population the numbers that practically i've hired me slightly higher than it yet but we have absolute numbers then even. so. communication by the government is one thing but people are buying oxygen tanks so loved ones on the black market right now there seems to be a real issue of supply chains is that going to change or do you feel that the but it's going to change some stage. well i hope it changes but a patent there was a discussion last year at the beginning of the back to make for groups to

increase the fed made products and supplies possibly i suspect i'm saying possibly because i don't know what happened monday the commendations which were made i think that either far from ready for it or would not take the c.d.'s and because of which what is happening in africa it's. sad situation people are coming out i don't find . my patients dying i don't want to watch them if they believe that part of what the situation i spoke with internationally so that it will be an improvement or so mixed in pleasing to fit their lose the more and more if you will it be between spreading the population and are together there will be a big trees in kansas as one has seen in mumbai for the mumbai was showing very very high cases and after that it steadied 2 weeks pedia now the case number new

baby case number have been steadily coming down for the last 3048 so these are the local the but the patient numbers haven't been going down it could take another 15 days that could you know and then that the situation in reality the back end has about institutes of in the knowledge in many senses. thank you. back here in europe it was billed as the continent's biggest indoor rock concert since the start of the pandemic a concert in spain that went ahead with $5000.00 music fans in the audience a month ago now the research results are in and the organizers say it did not trigger a jump in corona virus infections everyone wore masks at the indoor event but there was no social distancing is. on stage in barcelona one of spain's most popular bands indie rockers love of

lesbian. flaw crowd dancing swaying and cheering together wearing masks but with no assigned seating and no requirement to keep space free between them. excited fans gathered a month ago for the eagerly awaited event the 1st big concert without social distancing since the start of the canon emic. concert goers were given a coronavirus test before they were allowed in an experiment to find out whether mass events can be safely held music promoters worked with one of person known as main hospitals to put on the concert and doctors say fears of a jump in infections have proved unfounded. noise from it was not a super spreading event there's not been an excess of cases and in fact there is no sign that transmission took place during an event which

a public health experts believe that a combination of ventilation face masks and testing can work the venue holds 17000 people but only 5000 were allowed in. because it was a move that we have detected 6 people who tested positive after the concert for have been able to identify the exact moment when they were infected. for example 2 who attended were later infected by their mother in law but if there's a stent this isn't going to kill it's now hope the event will be the 1st of many. it's the sort of these are good results that can help open up the culture sector again to the point of possible voters wake up and there is a lot at stake a spanish study shows the european music industry lost 3 quarters of its income last year. germany's domestic intelligence agency is putting

some members of the until lockdown cleared to protest movement under surveillance last thirty's to collect data on individuals and groups who are suspected of spreading conspiracy theories and misinformation about the pandemic the german interior ministry said the movement had extremist tendencies fears that its influence could last beyond the end of the and me. well for this political correspondent and ash often altered our parliamentary studios here in berlin and who exactly are the quiet anchors is a very very diverse movement isn't it. yack fair denk and roughly translates as lateral thinking all think against the grain and this movement was only founded last year as a direct response to the corona pandemic and most specifically the german government's handling of the corona pandemic so very very young movement but

they've already created quite a stir here in germany and at the heart of most of the big until lock down demonstrations that we've seen across the country in recent months and like yury said there is there a disparate bunch really then not part of of one political organization or share a political persuasion they're an eclectic mix of people with you know legitimate reason says against government look down measures but also outright carona deniers general conspiracy theorists and then there's also a right wing extremist and even neo nazi groups that that march along side them in the bundestag the german parliament they've got support from the biggest opposition party the right wing populist a.f.p. . so why have they been put under surveillance now it's not the whole movement that's on the surveillance is it. i know there's certain groups amongst the

movement that i've been put under surveillance we don't know exactly which groups they are but some german states had already had already put some of the movement under surveillance that's bought inverting back for example hamburg and also bavaria and the bavarian state leader marcus called for them to be put under national surveillance as early as november last year and now that is now happened and of course you should always sort of listen up when a government national intelligence service puts a group under surveillance who are protesting against government measures. but the intelligence services stated that that the group that fed ngai using what are legitimate demonstrations and concerns against and government measures for illegitimate ends and that is to undermine the german state in the german constitution and what they said was particularly concerning were sort of

connections to right wing groups especially far right extremists like that iceberg for example who question the validity of the modern german state and sophomores thank you very much for this update let's have a look now at some of the other stories making headlines you lawmakers have overwhelmingly voted to ratify post break that trade and cooperation agreement $660.00 any piece voted in favor and only 5 against it's the final step and rather sick ation of the deal that sets out the framework for britain's new relationship with the u. 5 years after a referendum on leaving a bloc. british prime minister boris johnson is facing a formal investigation into the costs office furnishing his official apartment in downing street number 10 he has denied any wrongdoing insisting he paid for the renovations himself of britain's electoral commission says it has

russian troops along ukraine's borders aircraft and missile systems in place for unannounced exercises at an unprecedented scale and all of them within striking distance of ukraine russia's military made no effort to hide what was going on as the reports piled up day after day ukraine and its western allies group palpably nervous all the while the kremlin remained silent and then suddenly as they appeared officials announced that the troops returned to their bases what was this show of strength meant to achieve and what is the vladimir putin actually wants from ukraine water water rushing is becoming part of everyday life in crimea the region russia seized me crane back in 2014 climate change and a growing population of made things worse but the main problem is this canal or what remains of it much of crimea as water used to come through here from ukraine. but after russia's annexation of crimea ukraine pulled the plug moscow is now demanding kiev restore supplies this is victim edwidge chook

inskeep in brussels he's a member of the european parliament for the german green party. the e.u. parliament is discussing the situation at the of russian border what action do you want the e.u. should say. i think the most tangible would be probably the 3 main points of the resolution which is about to be adopted by the european parliament number one is the call of all the major political parties for member states to step up their military support. for ukraine in terms of providing. weapons that would allow ukraine self-defense which is a right which is under the un charter it's one number 2 probably. and the most important the 2nd most important point is to say and to to to threaten and to explain to russia that in case of further escalations of the sword and maybe

even invasion. we call on quite severe sanctions and the parliament is calling now in this case but this case to stop the swift cooperation which is a very new form of sanctions etc etc these are probably the main points the want to the most tangible ones apart from the solidarity of the european union and its proclamation that this threat is also a threat to the european union itself well russia is withdrawing soldiers from the border at least partially crane's president run is immense he said that the army should be ready in case russian troops are sent back since the e.u. does not have the military capacity what can it actually do apart from sanctions. well as has already mentioned there is a possibility of. higher and more intense military support

this is something we is important and also don't forget that even though the you itself doesn't have melter capacities epp abilities members of the you have i don't think that we should now prepare for a full fledged war but it must be made clear to our russian partners that any provocation of this sort will have consequences and that as we call it in the resolution friendly states of ukraine should take measures to seek to make its security clear very briefly if you can do you think that any of ukraine's european friends would send tanks and soldiers we will see i mean for now this is a hypothetical scenario it is clear that we firmly on the side of your grand in this particular situation say ok good inskeep member of the european parliament for the german green party thank you very much thank you i'm listening to some

sports news now the european super league debacle cause a huge uproar among fans especially in england's 6 premier league clubs initially joined the breakaway league before withdrawing to prevent future defections the premier league is looking at some major unfolds here's more from correspondent charles fill in the just. could this set the ball to english it will be to f.c. united of manchester's youth academy a collage that training for a club doing things differently. if the united at both owned and run by the fans and we were just ordinary people. who actually love football and got a passion for football it's not a business all of the money's made goes back into the football club back into the community. in order that we can try and you know climb the leaks. and continue to make a statement to say there's

a different way let's see united was set up in 2005 in protest against the takeover of premier league club manchester united by an american billionaire then now seeing a surge of interest upping their membership by roughly 20 percent over the last week alone it's driven in large part by the actions of 2 clubs just a few miles away manchester united and manchester city are among 6 english clubs who last week signed up to a new european super league which abruptly collapsed on to outrage from fans for many it's a watershed moment. terrible idea just the money grabbing a time by billionaires who know nothing of the game don't care for the fans don't care about grassroots football in the u.k. to demise is pretty nice to be out of and is pretty terrible but falls along kind of. excessive incremental. vulture capitalism i suppose photos become a business today's eyeing us for

a long time. so it's not trying to do in terms of football style of the sport but we just never know when subsaharan is where you know they they haven't got the clubs at best it's all about the money for the super league debacle has supercharged schools for change here with everything from the ownership structure of clubs like manchester united to regulation now being publicly debated and many are looking to germany as a model there's a growing chorus of voices calling for english football to emulate germany's 50 plus one model that would give fans the majority voting rights giving them the final say is now transcending football and getting political traction. thank you so much that not everyone can unite behind at the moment we have a bi is a basic interest of this board protects clubs. and so i think that's the reason for that is for a for a slogan be it so popular the government is now running a family review into english football with the german model among the reforms being

discussed but the skepticism meaningful change is possible in the meantime fan and clubs like f.c. united of forging their own path proof that an appetite for fun led to pools growing i think it's. time for change. events of the last week of just demonstrated time spites me fortunately it was more than 50 plus $100.00. and i think there is an opportunity now for the supporters groups to continue to do the right a large gap like so many in england the idea of being for the fans can feel like a thing of the past to united it's a model for the future. of all on the us i'm now joined by mark foley from sports match fans are demanding more rights in determining how england's premier league operates many are looking to germany was so appealing about the german model that. yeah i get it in the big parts and football clubs in germany are going to

college into the so-called 50 plus one rule which effectively stipulates that the mentors of the children for political die into fountains and always retain 50 percent of the voting as in the football club plus one set and hence that said 50 plus one and this effectively guarantees the members and govern teams to know there's no external invest external entity can answer. on the jollity controlling stake over a football club like we see in england and the elite leading to attempt such as what we saw last week with the attempt to take away from the elite and foma from a simple it is one of the biggies and why german clubs like munich and they will see a document involved in those attempts so what reforms do you think realistic in the way english football is wrong. well full of those in england

a lot of those in germany are that entirely private enterprises so any attempt to install a model such as 50 plus long haul any similar that supports ownership also influenced model is going to require government level legislation and whether that is turns out be possible or not i something we're going to have to wait and see however if the if the latest episodes and with the attempt it's equally breakaway pretty easy anything once and for all it's that the owners of these football cloaks and not in it for the same reasons as the fans they're not trustworthy and the not and it thing for the good of the clubs all that communities. zooming out the picture looking more broadly what do you think the consequences of this failed super league attempt will be for football in europe. has been has been an earthquake for for only that this suspect of the breakaway city police has actually been hovering over

your peeing football fifa food for decades and there's been there's been several attempts and suggestions by the top clubs see of threats to us the european governing body though they'll break away and fall on their own and that super league tonet if they don't get what they want to a fight with the end it would have been the collapse of the sea fleet except for the time being that i see leaves you a for an extremely influential extremely powerful position so push forward that over the falls and how they see football and. as far as what also pots a concern and it is also not necessarily a good thing that the new u.a.e. for champions league reforms for example was going to come into effect in 2020 fought. at all intents and purposes a super league in all but name so while this initial battle may have been will this general wall who is the ownership and control of football and it in the gaves fawaz is going to continue much for sports thank you.

but 1st let me welcome my co-hosts in uganda hello from compiler. and yes today we're going to be celebrating humbled by school and it's going to be sent to plan the projects and also coming up on the show. on me in for a preview of the most producing nation on standby to. find out how solar energy is transforming blew up agreements between mining. and we is a country in the democratic republic of congo huge portree out of plastic with. many large cities and alcohol problems with constantly increasing traffic and with the mega-cities in particular like cairo accompaniments train and anyone who has been stuck in one of its john's will those that change up to fit into traffic and

find it to make life easier in the egyptian capital who went along for a ride. it's an ordinary weekday in cairo. is riding to work on her bicycle it's rate to find people here in cairo commuting by bike and even more great to see it when one out cycling. back isn't evidence linking to inquire into bike friendly city do so finds it normal to cycle each day ogoun it times it takes energy to carry. she's seen firsthand what improvements need to be made. i usually ride on the right hand side of the street that's where you get all the dust and garbage and the gases and the road is often damaged. people in cars don't

expect to see bikers and when driver swerved to close to me can be dangerous. the streets alaeddin with obstacles of all kinds to cairo metropolitan area is the largest in africa with a population of over 21000000. vehicles and pedestrians all compete for space the egyptian authorities have gone to great effort to build bridges and widen highways in recent years they've built a 7000 kilometer long road network across the country. since the start of the pandemic this being a slight increase in the number of cyclists in the egyptian capital at this bicycle shop in downtown cairo mohamedou street is not more people are wanting to buy bikes now. public transportation is very crowded and during the pandemic some people have been afraid. you might catch the virus.

they're looking for a bike to write instead. and also the volume of traffic and ingestion in the city has caused people to realize that bicycles are actually a good way of getting it right i'm going to tell some of the capitol police. but being we'll need to change you cycling is to gain weight to appeal to deal with the wakes is one of several initiatives looking to do that the startup was created in 2018 by 4 evan planets set up with private donations their work is now funded by the arab council for social sciences deal 6 to make cycling more viable it also gathers data on the existing and projected number of cyclists commuting routes and back to the 50 good. decision to hop on a bike at the united nations habitat office in cairo research is also being done in 2 ways to improve the city's infrastructure for cyclists and the world uses.

launch cycle paths in the city center and also bike sharing this will require changes in the layout of the streets. if 70 percent of travel is done either on foot by bike or by public transport then 70 percent of the street needs to be dedicated to those modes of transport beyond the. u. n. habitat ses public transport is used for 55 percent of all journeys in cairo while cycling and walking account for 13 percent cycling groups and no popping up in different parts of the city. like go bike created by keane cyclists mohammed sami he got the idea while living in europe where he noticed some people using bicycles is the main want of transport men. who. are learning a car engine people to get cyclists because we want to reduce the number of cars taxis and buses on a. bus or someone travelling

a short distance 5 to 6 kilometers let's say to the supermarket or visiting friends they could go buy by all which would be a better option and or just secure gesture. so. they go by the group meets every friday morning in a different part of. space by a little for those in heaven to go through and everybody is welcome to join in his family there it's a great idea and it's well organized this is the main reason i decided to join i tried once before and this is my 2nd time that i was here i am your mother. on this day approximately pitch. right that's covering it distance of over 12 kilometers on clay road. part of the writer's house. making it right in the eye opener for many in the city and highlighting how cycling can be made to keep in one

. thing. if we had proper infrastructure and a psychopath that kept me away from the cars and all the obstacles it would be so much better. it would really improve my daily ride to work. and i'd like people to get used to seeing cyclists and women cyclists to bikes are not just for men. like getting mr again as touch has been made but it's clear they still a long road ahead. wow amazing let us hope that more and more people sought using bikes to get along but now let's switch gears with reporter the 1st of the problems with this also and plastic that's right it's everywhere and most of it isn't biodegradable so one way or dealing with it is to collect to recycle it in the letters of your bridge series with someone who is fond of very

creative way of talking trash and turning it into something colorful. companies artist franking gogo specializes in portraits but instead of using paint and brushes he creates his work from plastic bags recovered from college teams. and he finds plenty where he lives on the outskirts of kinshasa waste management in the capital city is virtually nonexistent vision street a crew i said to myself i'll turn the dirty plastic bags littering our city into art works better value it's a message to others to find better ways to dispose of trash. he connects plastic waste from this landfill site. then washes it. and hangs it in the sun to draw an. ultra preliminary

sketch he then uses the plastic to fill in the finished what he can usually complete one but in just a few albums. this is a portrait of the late ten's an eon president john michael foodie. friend google has competed and number of portraits of famous begins his work generates a lot of interest. known by his monica rover design some would sell for up to $400.00 his dream is to go through it and study it. then how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website or send us a tweet. pasternak doing your bit. sharing your story. recycling plastic is was

a mission but think better of the environment would be if we all boarded the to the 1st place. up in the wind berlin thought so and set up our own plus the free package and business based on strict ethical and embarrassment to prince oppose. the local business so as a showing it's possible to the source of the ball as titus. rolls and rolls of patterned material christina and her husband are selecting the most suitable to use for their next batch of bees wax wraps. is a sign of your ball washed we use organic cotton coated with a layer of bees wax tree resin and tell her about oil the. 3 components together of what we paint on to the material the mixture is the secret behind the wraps. and the great thing is that these wax cloth allows food to breathe at the same time as

keeping it moist. condensation doesn't develop. and that's basically why plastic wrap food often goes your own. plastic. the mother of 2 developed her prototypes 3 years ago in her own kitchen with lots of wax and an iron she'd come across bees wax cloth while she was studying to be a graphics designer in the us. since we were always using so much plastic cling film which can't be recycled i thought ok bees wax cloth is a great alternative but i want to know what it's made of and i want to use raw materials from europe that's how i started making it in my kitchen. there's a lot of manual work involved the high level of wax in the mixture means the cloth stick together once they're made they have to be separated by hand cristina's our insists on manufacturing in berlin and pays her employees fairly. so

to beeswax cloths are quite expensive at 10 euros but they can be reused for up to a year. christine as business idea has created 20 jobs here. there are plenty of women who want to go out and profits and there's important thing to them but by and large an agenda to really speaks very directly to this this idea that when it comes to prayer ties and social rules of my own middle schools and economic goals men tend to prayer ties economic goals or other goals women tend to pray or try as social goals or other goals part of women's entrepreneurship right now is entrepreneurship in general is seeing this the emergence of what we call impact investing and use social entrepreneurship. it can be a long slog before a female entrepreneur can live off her profits in berlin's meant to distract the

vibe of a chaffed female entrepreneurs center helps women who want to become self-employed it offers support in developing a business plan brokering micro credits there's even a daycare center it's this support that the more than 70 members value about this co-operative treasure and also need to have qualms but with the spirit of a 1st of all it's far harder for a woman to set up and business there is a systemic disadvantaging of women here in germany they're supposed to take on the nurturing work meaning they do much more work in the family and they earn less than men that raises the hurdles for setting up a business. women tend to found service companies rather than tech companies and it's hard for them to find commercial space which also needs to be close to home so that they can also take care of the family it's the only. before moving objects ally's. the rents in the co-operative are well below average something fashion designer cutting

a yard on back it's from. she's been producing her own fashion collections for 10 years. her materials are all organic made in weaving mills in germany austria and elsewhere in europe. she wants to take a stand against the fast turnover cheap textiles industry. as we often mock what we buy today is definitely too cheap so basically you shouldn't be able to sell clothing at those prices because i know what the costs here are like even if we consider economies of scale what's on offer here is still too cheap that devalues the garments along with the people who make them we simply can't do that to each other. ethically made high value clothes have their price address here cost 600 euros a top 170 cotton says the priority for her customers used to be being well dressed now many have

a keen interest in where the clothes are made because tina also found customers quickly her beeswax wraps are now sold in 1000 shops across europe the annual turnover is a 7 figure sum but she doesn't want to exports to asia africa or the u.s. . as a part of us i wanted to make a sustainable product right from the start because i said to myself we have these rule materials in europe if we ship them overseas the c o 2 emissions would be catastrophic. but she can imagine setting up production abroad using locally sourced raw materials and a local office for the local market. we head back to africa one that supports did you know that only 50 percent of the population in access to clean water going to the country. running the.
