staying alone and this group of covert volunteers in western india with again very fied information about beds and oxygen being available in the city of not poor in western india and joining me now the puzzle responsible for that last tweet you saw and it is seeing from team india he joined me from in western india and we also have. who is working in the city of bhopal in central india to help those battling the current covert crisis welcome to both of you i'd like to come to you how are you collecting information and being able to verify what you are posting. so basically the message seemed to have plenty of water and if so they spread across the lake across the nation and boy did we have to collect information. get any information social media. take on

a hospital. you can see the end of that and be that if i go every detail that's breaking all the way down it because it den and even if i do and then people's information on it we don't know what you're as i understand you are doing much the same thing as new fish in bhopal but you're also helping out with the community kitchen in your city yeah the article 551 n.p.r. then some of them might help being a bit getting ventilate those and beds for people but at a large number of attendants what's the big thing outside the hospital gown or going out the door in and their family members that inside and it's a long endless wait and since it's still down and that on most shops open so we stock decided to stock a community kitchen for them it's a good outsourced thing and people have generously donated and b. have started the kitchen baby can give them food what. all of these things so that you know bill becomes addicted better but it. is time to cue such talk team as

source india last year as the 1st wave of corporate infections was hitting in india and i need to mention here that you want and we may in maharashtra state which is possibly the was defective state in terms of corporate infections in india did you ever imagine that things would ever get the spat. in defoe's to the lake and it was like a they're not he had a lot of discord again they sin device nation. people are getting it's needed he never taught there the even if he does think and it led to mean does. this much impact i get was not he had imagined. it is something that there hits me hard as well because i would never have imagined like unit is potentially that things would ever. become as bad as they are in india and therefore

i wonder if you think it is essentially left to citizens such as yourself and need to organize help because this system is not being able to cope it's a huge crisis and the government is doing what it and to the best up its ability and i feel that everybody has to join hands and you know somehow that the situation and sitting at home via deceiving callers and sometimes people are just bad making also so be it they go it's close and get back to give them some emotional support because it's not family also so many people article but positive and everybody has gone through a similar. thing so we can you know counsel them help them and the impact on t. has been unite that everybody has to stand together the go moment is going what they can but you also have the nice to the occasion i think that. busted in for you

i mean this was it was saying i think nearly every indian or somebody who's been affected by this crisis what is it like for you to be able to run this network of volunteers and to provide information to other people knowing full well that people in your so called might be affected. so basically think leave my fiance got to take. last month it was like i've never talked like that in my family haven't seen somebody how they are thinking if they caution him that thing sold this is something of an icon i cannot see that that is something i don't do that he cannot imagine what that what is happening i don't have the facing new problems. do you think india could have been better prepared for a potential 2nd wave. i am

actually the fausto wave that hit us it was a lot of the migrant labor but you know it came as a joy we know what. the bad ass says but to be ignored that the situation this bad because the flaws it wasn't so severe so i didn't i don't think anybody expected this like i know my mother to school because it and i am going to the same thing and that have so many others also and it's happening in every house so the magnet you would all of this thing nobody could have imagined you know the need to share one last question to you do you think the work that you're doing through team india s.o.s. when only keep expanding and the what that you would have to show now on a daily basis will only become more and more as we go along into the next few weeks . like and you know that because the timing of all the order they're.

benefit from the joe nations of the british asians and while those donations make their way into india the virus a begins its spread outside there's concern in neighboring nepal after a rapid rise in corona virus cases attributed to the strain of the virus causing havoc in india the nepalese capital is already struggling with increased hospital admissions and resources stretched thin. nippon bracing for another wave of corona virus infections. citizens in common do are lining up to get their tests hoping to be negative as cases surge in the rapid speed. the shop rice feud by the more infectious mutant strains from neighboring india. cities have already become hotspots and doctors fear that the capital soon follow. the situation at

a border town of reflects what's happening in india and i call it many india. if the same thing replicates in a densely populated city like cut under the situation would become much more difficult. than the. vaccine efforts in the himalayan state are complicating the situation about 7 percent of the poles population have so far received a shot. but the country is struggling to procure more doses as it relies on supplies from india. their authority is have prioritized their own needs as the situation runs out of control. that could soon be the case in the pile if the trend continues in kathmandu the health system is already stretched people are struggling to find hospital beds for their sake family members. were out

deep blue dot com their city. could turn. from empty offices and shops to healthier buildings and more green open spaces the coronavirus pandemic is up ending our city centers and we'll look at the opportunities this might bring for urban renewal and also coming up. cityscapes as arts german artists you want it was fun bismarck used carefully crafted steel and cement to create his noise stopped a revival of demolished ruhr valley architecture. welcome to the show well depending on where you live your experience of the kovac 900 pandemic will of course be different but i for one can't remember the last time that i went to

a cafe or a restaurant or even spent a moment in the shopping district simply because we don't go there anymore with everything closed and most commerce now taking place online well as a result vast stretches of the city have literally bled out and this raises a lot of questions. once the current crisis is over we'll ask cities become more green than gray will we only work or will we continue to live there. could empty stores be revived with completely new functions. octet kristoff believes the current crisis is an opportunity to bring diversity to city centers corners. the current crisis is actually a catalyst to deal now with the shopping precinct all over germany because change is going to come there's a reason why they're in such

a sorry state or differences in shopping precincts like this one in frankfurt were already in financial difficulty before the crisis struck but since the pandemic shoppers tourists and commuters have stayed away online retail and home offices. retail spaces are now shuttered the demand for office space is also decreasing shopping and business districts of dying. functionality is the definite development it destroys the city the european city thrives on social and functional diversity a street like this needs people living and working and doing business. all . we had together with mike youssef from the frankfurt city council plans to transform the room a whole neighborhood in the city center it still takes some imagination to envisage

the new district the plan includes a generous green area and will serve a range of purposes at the moment it's a commercial and ministry area but the idea is to build $20000.00 apartments close to schools retail sports facilities and commercial estates the aim is to diversify and place more importance on avenues parks and courtyards in this respect the future room a half will be reminiscent of late 19th century urban planning but we don't want to just recreate that period we want to take the qualities that make up those districts and are very popular and implement them here that's what drives us. the. people who live in small city apartments need green spaces but how can this work in the inner city how can we create affordable housing space is in short supply and

simple tenuously preserve green spaces. and joining me to hash this out is my colleague mike a clear welcome mike and i'm just wondering do we have any answers to some of those questions is there hope that our inner cities cities could become more livable in the. thing there is absolutely hope because what should we do with all this emptiness and in the cities and not only in the bigger ones also in the smaller towns they have the situation is even worse but at this point the owners of these large surface stores are still in limbo they're still not willing to lower the rents this is the situation now. town planners and architects as we saw right now. already working on creative solutions also full pocking carriages for example there we have a good one none back in bavaria space was missing they had to build something new

so they decided to use the roof of a car park and now we have one of the most beautiful cannot gardens in town with a huge garden hopefully we see right now and a big wall to protect the children of course has been planning in the past that was always more like traffic management traffic will disappear with the kommersant of course and it's terrible for all those people who losing their jobs now but it's also an opportunity a very good chance for the community to reclaim more space ok but you know as we heard in the report i mean this idea of diversity in the city center is bringing the people back into the inner city that's really what typical cities in europe have always been about in the past and yeah you're right we had it all but lost it in the last decades and gained over crowded expensive cities disastrous traffic and gentrification of course. everything was focused on consumption but i

think it's always in the mix and a very good functioning neighborhood is the one with kindergarten senior hopes with small shops get a response restaurants and all in a small distance and what we have now despite the pandemic would we still have is a housing market housing market that's out of control that's of course not only the case for inner cities but that's also the same for these suburban shopping complexes absolutely shopping centers the huge small don't have much of a future here in europe we see. and in the united states they know the problem very very well they have a couple of debt malls and shopping centers and their reasons for being in calif. gornja they are currently repurposing one there will be shops and offices still also apartments culture and sports facilities so you know with what we know

now what's stopping us from repurpose ing all of these empty buildings as fast as possible really. yet here in germany for example we have a very difficult building regulations those regulations were written in the time of course when space was not of issues and of course nobody was talking or even thinking of home offices and so there's a clear line between living and commercial space but hopefully this will change very soon well obviously hope is a good thing we've got lots of it and it'll be interesting to see where we are a year from now and thanks very much for those insights micah kluger because of course the transformation of urban centers for the future leads perfectly to the idea of learning from the buildings of the past german our history was fun bismarck's his project noise start recreates demolished structures from germany's ruhr valley area for a new kind of reckoning with the architectural choices through the ages.

a miniature city on the move. not architectural models but own sculptures of buildings. 21 striking buildings typical of the industrial region for. bismarck the journey from berlin is part of the project there are broncos schools swimming pools and many residential towers typical of the 19th sixty's and seventy's high rise buildings with names like the lion and giants all the originals have long since been demolished dynamite should down. the our cities destination is. a major center of the steel industry and europe's largest in the land ports. it's an unusual cargo frank joy even though it weighs tons.

the structures are perfectly positioned in the new home at the juice book nord landscape park which has been part of the trail since 2010. the sculptures reflect industrial history. this india. public buildings that once belonged to this industrial landscape because they were built for the people who worked in industry here even the churches as work numbers increased so did the construction of churches and now they are. maintaining to churches is more expensive than demolishing them so these decisions were made for financial reasons. and shannon talk. a team from the burning

studio is responsible for the detailed work on the 1st song. and for ensuring their foundations are precise millimeters matter everything has to fit perfectly. going on a building here the north and the put its own front on the employ these are not exact images they are our interpretations we try to capture the aura it's not a precise downscaled version there is abstraction certain details remain others are left out when translating into other materials you also have to change things a bit of. business and then after. 10 days of construction noise that is finished the sculptures are intended to provoke debate. and see a mind of architecture we need in 50 years 50 years ago we thought we needed this

but now we don't do we need them was it a mistake to tear them down these questions are always relevant they never get old and ideas about what is beautiful and what is ugly constantly change to. the graveyard of a vision of the future downscaled buildings testimony to term attic structural change in the rule region. and to finish up here's our grab of some of the other culture news in brief beginning with news of one of pop's biggest female stars dozens off britney spears friends demonstrated outside a los angeles courthouse on tuesday to end the pop star's conservatorship case which in 2008 led a california court to place her under a unique legal guardianship largely governed by her father will spears's request to speak directly to the court has been granted for june 23rd.
