quarter of. an international relief effort is underway to help india fight its devastating 2nd wave but deaths and infections are still rising remorselessly and with not enough fact scenes to go around. for more we're joined now by. wall hello tina michele india was supposed to expand its vaccination program today but as we heard in the report there's simply not enough vaccine doses to go around so what will today's roll out look like. no matter how not to dave's all out if to do you really really you know we like yes i mean issues all inequalities because why you the government has definitely allowed everybody. to be vaccinated many steve.

adubato archtop the worst hit states chap said to me do not have enough bills this evening not come out and queue outside back and just be believed you were in rehab do this quickly and if you do it's now that you do document as a lot steeds by direct people a matter of fact which may be had been hiding somewhere it's just that in addition few people who are getting vaccinated are getting vaccinated up trying which was this because the government just faction has decided to climb because it was bought at a higher price so getting vaccinated to be a doozy quite who can afford to pay for their acts and this once again but push behind those who cannot afford it so a very difficult situation indeed in india is correspondent emission jess well thank you so much for your reporting. let's get a check now of some of the other stories making news around the world. from monday australia will ban anyone who has recently been in india from entering the country

that's including its own citizens and residence rule breakers face fines or even jail time the government says the move is necessary in light of the rising number of infections in india. israel is bearing the 1st victims of a stampede at a jewish poker insight at least $45.00 people were killed and many more were injured at the ultra-orthodox celebration of the law but omar holiday at mount of iran israel's prime minister has promised a full investigation the event was authorized 481-0000 people but local media say 90000 attended. the u.s. defense department says it's canceling military funded contracts for the mexican border wall the trumpet ministration had diverted billions of defense dollars to fund its construction president joe biden has said he will not allow another foot of the wall between mexico and the united states to be built. a

car bomb in afghanistan has killed at least 24 people and wounded more than 100 others including children the victims were mostly students staying at a guest house while preparing for exams no group has yet claimed responsibility for the last in logar province which struck as people broke their fast during the islamic holy month of ramadan the attack comes as u.s. and nato began formally withdrawing troops after $820.00 here more with the taliban . let's bring in journalist ali latif he who joins us now from kabul hello to you ali good to see you so now that international troops are withdrawing from afghanistan do you anticipate that there will be more attacks like the one that just took place on friday in logar province so ability but what we have to remember is that these attacks took place throughout

the 20 years that the international forces were in of honest on. god has been victim to these kinds of attacks repeatedly over the years. has also been one of the least 6 provinces in afghanistan over the last 20 years especially facing. a very deteriorated security situation over the last 5 years where and even districts used to be able to go to previously have now become no go zones and there's a very important because a lot is only 40 minutes south of kabul. and now how do people in afghanistan then feel about the withdrawal of foreign troops when the u.s. withdraws beginning today are they supportive of this. i think you know people knew it was coming it's been going on for 20 years.

more than anything what people are worried about is what will happen over the next 4 months and beyond whether or not the government you know can take full or spirity responsibility whether the peace talks will continue and actually amount to something because the one thing that the peace negotiations with the taliban have been talking about is a nationwide cease fire now of course no group group has claimed responsibility for this attack but if before the u.s. leaves if there can really be some kind of a cease fire agreement that will give some kind of reassurance to the people because at this point it's just a question of you know they left with no conditions or a day left with no. parameters on the taliban or any other group so will they feel more emboldened once the foreign troops fully withdraw and now after 20 years of the withdrawal of u.s. forces a huge operation how is it playing out. it's

been playing out over the last few they've already been reports you know planes coming in. you know. transfer troops away from their bases and away from other sorts of places so it's definitely been under way and this was really joe biden sort of reasoning for extending the withdrawal which was originally supposed to be completed by today to september 11th because he's saying that you know they need that amount of time to fully hand over everything and to fully secure all of the foreign troops and make sure that they can leave the country journalist t.v. for us in kabul thank you so much. well germany is planning to return ancient sculptures looted from africa during colonial times the objects known as the bronzes were originally taken by british soldiers in the 19th century many were later sold to museums here in germany they're expected

to start returning the artwork to nigeria next year part of a growing trend of restoring artifacts to their places of origin. bronzes some of africa's greatest treasures. for decades demands for their restitution have grown louder. now cultural and political leaders have agreed to begin returning artifacts in german museums by next year. news that marks a significant change of heart the bronzes were due to be showcased as the centerpiece of the ethnological collection in. the summer. before 1000 artifacts were plundered from the been an empire now part of nigeria after a violent british raid in 897 they were later sold to museums in europe and north america. now nigeria will regain sovereignty over some of these broil and sacred artworks so central to the nation's cultural heritage plans to build

a museum and beneath city to house the looted artifacts. can't come to your visit your. physical. creations if they were. germany's decision to act marks a paradigm shift in the handling of stolen artifacts it will no doubt awaken hope in other countries seeking the return of their treasures. for most of us. parties have been out of the question for a long time but in the british city of liverpool that change this week after more than a year of club closures due to the pandemic 3000 people were allowed to pack

a warehouse for a rave the pilot event was designed to study whether krone virus restrictions can be eased without triggering new outbreaks. it was a big day as for britain's music scene. at all those are you saw it roll on the verge it is ready to do what i want to see you know it will be so we're just ready for. a little bit overwhelming because we haven't been around this many people in so long and it's just it's weird to get back in the way excited a bit nervous bomb excited. the revellers have to test negative for coronavirus twice ahead of the event but once inside take a party without restriction. it's been so long that it happens everyday to feel like beads get this to get to be like this is to be noticed right you did reach me but there are so many people. without ma and

with our soldiers so so so long to build amazing. scientists are using this trial to test the safety of large gatherings on the eyes and dots on the movement of the crowds and air quality inside the venue britain has vaccinated more of its population but any other country in europe on the hope is that with the help of experiments like this the hard his apparent sector will soon be back in the groove. and finally if you are afraid of heights you may want to skip this tourist attraction the world's longest suspended for this train bridge officially opens this weekend in northern portugal it hangs 175 meters above a canyon and is more than half a kilometer long local residents have already been allowed to try out the bridge in

iraq up ahead of the opening ceremony on sunday. you're up to date now on your news stay tuned for shift living in the digital age america evans team from me and the entire news team in berlin and thanks for watching. i was a few when i arrived here i slept with 6 people in a room. it was hard i was free to. even go to white hair. learning the language you know this gets me a little but you need to interrupt it's the same thing you want to do their story. fighting and reliable information for margaret. in the light of climate change.

frequently. what's in store. for the future. for 2 major cities. to get insight. into. the. virtual reality could revolutionize the sex industry what's already possible what is being developed and how might these changes affect the digital technology and sex i want topic on shift today. let's be honest despite my personal and foozie as i'm for technology in general i have not taken. very seriously for me it is a nice market for a very special clientele in japan however the concept has really taken off even

special stores here where you can have completely new experiences with losses is there perhaps more to the idea after all i took a look at one of the stores in tokyo. asking about right in tokyo district as a. computer games. and the pornography the company soft on demand alone operates 70 special b r 6 stores in japan it's one of the largest producers of pornography films in asia . here you can see employees faces to keep things discreet and i asked to book a one hour of the hour package it costs almost 1000 yen about a year old all dodged up in the cities have venues like this. can be rented for up to 3 hours there are 3 different options reclining chair reclining mat. i chose reclining match. my booth was on the 2nd floor i'm one meter

93 tall and felt pretty claustrophobic on the way out. in the booth i found the aa glasses handkerchiefs and telephone slippers and countless options it was a little bit confusing to be honest. luck of the lot of people either because 50 percent of people coming here so they have a special service well that i would call for help. the stuff help me set up and stop of ya feel the films i shot from a subjective camera angle so depending on the whether you are seated on lying down you will be watching a different film with a corresponding setting. you can see your own virtual body so this video here wouldn't have made much sense if i had been sitting upright. the sex industry would not be going to those technological length if it didn't

expect to profit illegal porn streaming and private providers have resulted in considerable losses in recent years gamble only time will tell whether the op one really does offer a way out of the crisis more and more videos are becoming available online but the attraction. mortal in tokyo is one of japan's leading produces. when you watch a p.r. on a t.v. or p.c. screen it's usually from a bird's eye view of the real v.a.r. emphasizes the experience much more. the customer feels as if he could really touch the girl that he has real eye contact or that he can feel her breath next to his ear. so that it's a completely different view or perspective to a standard movie that. i found the unusual perspective unsettling.

impression it's really very detailed a little bit weird to watch to be honest because the woman in that clip i just saw . this distortion is linked to the distance between our pupils which is different for every person the images are set to a standard this if this doesn't correspond to the eyes of the person wearing the glasses the proportions will be distorted. the filmmakers of soft on the amount produced that he obviously was in this studio everything here is white but this ensures that the background isn't distracting and allows the producers to better direct the viewer's focus. up anywhere yet in a way my mother the strength of b.r. is that it enables different forms of interaction what it will take in the it allows you to get to a place you couldn't get to before. so into action is the magic word this

combination of technology and emotion is something that can be found most of all in japan according to not alina hi the british author and podcast the focus is on ethical issues related to digital technologies. amazing innovation and. that you seem to be. a lot of people in a lot of places you are very expressive of that affection for technology and you may end up going in a great relationship with ok i kind of love my smartphone too but that's as far as it goes some of the observations already enable you to build your dream partner does that really create deeper connections. being able to configure a virtual partner like in a computer game and having custom made avatars thanks to computer generated images this is a future v.a.r. producer yeah moto finds promising. it will be possible to design individual body parts such as breasts waist or hips to create your ideal woman so

with the help of c.g.i. you can you have a sex therapist dr michelle paid to refine this technology problematic he says even normal porn films already create unrealistic expectations in his patients. we have somebody in one point. and now we're reaching a new level here the user can actually select his or her ideal partners body. but the consequence of this would be that any real life partner would end up being compared to this fantasy product. how does it constitute a missing loss. natalie not hide also worries about consequences this comparison can handle she researches ethical issues surrounding digital technologies. both. human being and believes about it's actually quite a complex issue if you end up real beings humans trying to emulate. themselves

in order to look more like that's the reality count. models real people trying to look more like virtual of a tot's sounds pretty dubious to me but they are already reports about people having plastic surgery for that reason cutting edge technology and the sex industry seem a good match for not a few has long been a driver for technological advancements by the passion boss the author of the erotic engine is certain that without tomography the internet would not have grown so quickly not convinced well yes some examples online payment systems without paper on size the payment would be a simple and secure as it is today online streaming without with streaming software developed for pornography sites media platforms would struggle to deliver news clips online advertising without advertising from sec size many free internet services wouldn't exist and now we are even in the development of sex toys

experiments are being made but virtual reality and for once the products on offer are not mainly targeted at unmet we are what. this exclamation of surprise is from an ad by dutch sex toy manufacturer the company offers a vibrator that can be lent to v.r. glasses by an apple special vibrations which correspond to what's happening in the film or transmitted by the gadget. of course there are similar products for men to for example virtual made a device for men that works with. they are and real time sensors and promises a realistic erotic experience. such devices can also be linked using apps and controlled remotely by someone's partner possibility that some couples find appealing. but i think that nothing that enables us to relate more fully with someone else especially when so many of us are

at distance well for instance in a pandemic if you looked in different cities. is going. to express your desire for the other partner and it's a different way and so i think it is designed to create a connection in a way that people want and that's one. sense of the cover of night and pandemic began digital adult entertainment services have become more popular well direct physical contact is rather difficult at the moment especially for singles the us paul website caught up as reza says up to 25 percent more hits on its site this year many people really miss physical contact that's why research is currently being conducted about how to make virtual experiences even better one promising possibility special suits that simulate touch and warmth. and technology when paired with yassin could be really powerful because it gives us physical cues it's a physical sensation that he took. to digital touch and that's going to be much

more plentiful and much more real and physical. and just having some. auditory. soft on demand in tokyo is currently working on integrating additional sensations the goal is to eventually include all of our senses in the video experience. at the moment we're testing new technologies to make that we are experience even better for this for example we are working on a technology for smells like a woman's mouth to thank you. well feel taste prospects seem busying already offers the possibility to slip into other characters or other bodies or for example to playfully change sex if we are not amiss when. the sense of anonymity can give us a great feeling of freedom to disclose and to be honest and. able to express things that we might otherwise and difficult so i think given the reality office that

possibility it is very possible that we can be more insular that could technology really help us to better understand our own sexuality and so to gain a better understanding of others in real relationships it's an interesting thought if you like. i might maybe one day all of us will not only want to have sex in our bedrooms but in the dream worlds that are most exciting for us on the constant that . that would be one way i could see virtual reality providing exciting possibilities for users in everyday life. not just as pornography but for couples as well you know not service you also come. out to be our sector is expecting the market to grow to 13 and a half 1000000000 euros by 2022 and this includes sex products after all many people enjoy exploring new options we are very adaptive as humans and we can learn to find those things exciting and erotic and normal given the amount of time to get

used to it so yeah i think a lot of us will end up expanding our sexual records income that remains to be seen we're quite a way are really natural looking and i and i think a certain point we might end up thinking but in the other direction and one saying real physical human contact with human beings. what do you think what do you try adrià sex to technology and feelings go together share your opinions with us on facebook on d.w. dot com if you want to know more about virtual reality. check out our you tube channel and that's it for me thank you you're next up.
