india do not have any facts. they're watching t.v. news live from berlin coming up next reporter a look at the vaccination campaign. we have an important news. smoking is healthy post decides are good for the beans global warming doesn't exist. to uncle who goes well not yet comes from. the industry is controlling your thoughts here and stealing. the rail line. it's not easy to spot. the great books of the 20th century.

present day hoaxes. and who's behind the. manufacturing ignorance starts may 3rd on d w. alaska arctic is one of the most remote areas of the us it's also a region that has been particularly ravaged by the corona virus and all the help they need to recover is flying to the rescue. for you call it is providing vaccinations to surrounding villages and aid workers can only access the areas by plane or by snowmobile in fact alaska is currently vaccinating at a faster rate than any other state in the us how is this possible.

right there aren't any doctors in ford you call but there is deborah mccarthy the health centers director she's responsible for the area's 500 residents who have to forgo a lot snow slopes instead of asked felder roads no pumps no restaurants no fast internet this is what normality looks like 8 miles north of the arctic circle. i think for most people actually live here is pretty this. i mean people work hard you know everybody has to get where they everybody has to go through something everybody goes fishing most people have guard and it's

a close knit small community i mean it's like we were really to tell most everybody it's of course now like that where you know if you're going to do it someplace else or in a city or even just a figure a town that is excessive all by road you know we're we're sort of on an island here and everybody is very close. this is one reason why the virus has claimed 4 times as many indigenous lives in alaska compere to urban whites. deborah has a lot on her mind when she goes to the health center every morning namely how to protect people here from the virus as quickly as possible it's been a few weeks since vaccinations opened up to everyone over the age of 16 much earlier than in most other states same day appointments are available without waiting i'm sure. so

your arm might be a little bit sore. some people have more soreness than others it's very easy to tell people pick the arm that you don't. really need to use today is ok. deborah and her team have already immunized more than half of the village concerned about high death rates the health center received the vaccine from the u.s. government and the indigenous health insurance fund now there are vaccine doses in abundance. it's amazing we have a couple 100 doses we've pretty much finished after the charter tomorrow we will be finished with the villages and then we just have to finish for u. conn fro and we didn't think we would be able to do this tell the summer you know get everybody then.

deborah takes us to her home a small wooden house on the outskirts of town people here are content living without much. deborah has already seen much of the world the daughter of a white father and an indigenous mother she lived in germany for several years when her father served in the army before you call him has always been her home when the 1st covert cases broke out it was easy for deborah to shield herself from the rest of the world because she lives alone with her son but for most families quarantining is almost impossible because they live in small homes and the virus spreads rapidly. it was pretty scary for everybody it was kind of. a really big unknown you know how bad is it going to get here people were thinking oh my you know the grandmas and grandpas thinking oh it this is going to be like

918 and it's going to wipe out whole villages so that's kind of what everybody was preparing for so of course people were scared the kids were scared we were worried at the clinic you know we don't have ventilators if somebody needs oxygen or c.p.r. what are we going to do there was a lot of preparation going into it. that summation day has arrived the team is making the final preparations before a rome trip to live villages nurse kimberly and then is carrying 50 doses of the modernity vaccine in her luggage and she hopes that this will bring the state of emergency to an end. one person gets a hair that's you know that's 5 percent of the population almost so that one household pretty much can cause for the whole village to shut down that means nobody hauling water nobody hauling fuel nobody you know you're not leaving your

house to go get stuff that you made ok it's going things down tonight 20 minutes would be 5 minutes the flights are expensive and time consuming so the team tries to vaccinate as many people as possible on a single trip the aid workers who come today won't return for 4 more weeks. this is another reason why even with many villages situated in the middle of the wilderness alaska is the fastest date when it comes to vaccinating residents in the u.s. they are approaching vina tie on the banks of the yukon there's hardly any infrastructure no cell phone network and supermarket and most importantly no road access. the yukon is the lifeline for villages in the arctic in the summer it provides salmon upon which many residents here depend in the winter it resembles an ice desert. a snow slope surfaces landing

strip. there are 2 cars in the village and one of them is the ambulance. in the winter of the snowmobile is the most important means of transportation it's just a short drive up to the health center. food fuel clothes everything has to be flown in here today if the vaccines turn to be born.

20 villagers are already waiting inside word has spread about how dangerous the virus is here too so no one in being a time needs to be convinced about being vaccinated. right. did you guys read. the brochure thing about whether or not ok you know you're going to get some side effects. for. whatever. i'm going to have if. you. we've been anticipating to get our 1st shots and we are so happy to finally get it and we thought it's going to you know heard it but not know.

if there were then the vaccination marks the end of a long period of isolation finally meeting friends again finally partying again. they are. ok after the shot a sticker and some warm words. you know congratulations lady. but. florence are all birds is next like most of the village he belongs to the indigenous which in tribe ok if you read the information seen here for many years he's relied on his strong constitution but in time of the pandemic he wants to play it safe after all there aren't any doctors or ventilators in vina thai either you're done i'll see you in 4 weeks. so

it's pretty important i mean. all of them were illegally. you would have to get sick or you know if it would prevent hospitalization that's good you know. lauren's takes us to his home. we use his quad bike to get to the edge of the forest of the 200 person village there are no roads here during winter you drive on a snow slope and in summer on a meadow. he lives alone in a locked cabin with his son for the past year he hasn't been allowed to leave the village the tribal government imposed strict rules to protect the community from the virus laurence roberts says that the modern lifestyle is what makes people so vulnerable to the pandemic. we don't have no car off site contact and we're always going to just basically travelling with ballparks and that here

and there and. moves or something that's where we settle down for a month. you know cried at me this is what it. took me when i listen to your i didn't come out of there the 10 years for. it was much healthier lifestyle you know that i knew that experience never get 2nd in your army with you know it all. back and forth you can the village has come together at the traditional spring carnival for the 1st time since the pandemic began there hasn't been a cold case here for 2 months. the coronation of the princess is one of the year's highlights. up until recently deborah my card you would not have expected to see this much normality even though sled dogs are racing again this year.

i feel very fortunate i mean we hear about other places that are don't even have all of their health care providers vaccinated yet and we were all vaccinated in in december for the most part i think the majority of us and everybody here in the other villages feel like it's the beginning of it and. by summer life in the rest of the us will be a secure free as it is in the villages in alaska arctic circle. the 77 percent. this week the show is all about the feedom to see what's you want when you want to and how you want. to spend every way. see

how and to just a tiny. misty now with the beach and bring it. to 77 percent. on. the. suicide rate journals again domestic violence and racism. question to beheadings and the rape of babies sure thing is the. question is when you consume a. invisibles. in 45 minutes. d.w. . in the art of climate change. for example. what's in store. for the future.

we can make a series of the multimedia insight. into. hello and welcome to the 77 percent where in uganda's capital how i love *. and this week the show is all about the freedom to say what you want when you want to and how you want there's a lot of got for you we'll meet a young south african fighting for justice in his community. we find out when comedians use science diet to bypass oppression. and we'll hear how young women in south sudan of breaking down barriers to talk about them in the village. but for us it's a shrine to the universal declaration of human rights freedom of speech and from

the basic principle it means the freedom to express your mind your opinions without the fear that your government might want to show and take legal action against you but we want to hear from you so we also runs one of freedom of speech really mean to you. to me freedom of speech means. where ability my power to express moral you know results here without restraint without fear of any. i think is what everybody wants. for the most which is i love going. i love as a person in the be able to express my views without trying to clamp down without trying to do so what. is greater called the ability to

be called. people from people of the world your. freedom of speech still maintain that you need to get out but in. all i think that you showed some balls. you month as it stands. so bring it with people you need to give them things in such a. color chart you have to close to that environment you find yourself and we were one of the last. 3 speeches the author of the scene are you you go where you feel about something regarding that it's weird but but it's also not the most to do a currency floating around the are you to know about something you don't feel

anything for in your ward or what your way through the good of anybody. here's a scenario for you it's election time when politicians are throwing around from mrs i quite often money left right and center and assume as the election is over they just vanish so one young man in cape town in south africa was tired of what he considered to be and to promises and when there is one small minister visited we'll just see for yourself. i have never communicated now who i lie and we have you on record and i know that you had your own records and talk nonsense i am saying that no one thought i was a confrontation between a petition and an activist caught on camera by social justice activist corsicana swat boy. in the video minister for human settlements lindiwe sisulu ordered swat boy to swear to his camera and called him a liar. the background of the incident in january

2021 minister of the taiwan informal settlement in cape town. a few days earlier a fire had described 150 shacks. and rendered hundreds of people homeless. because he cannot walk boy who is part of the group of activists who have been supporting the residents affected by the fire followed the minister during the day on her tour. twenty's who promised support for the victims he confronted her. as they are walking towards their cars i then shouted from the back and said minister let's hope that you want to the same thing that you did in him paul when in march 2020 where you promised to to rebuild 49 structures that were demolished as a result of an unlawful or illegal eviction she reached for my phone and selected and it fell on to the ground and it is in the point that i you know

a lot of my safety was a bit compromised because the border guards that were there all the police officers and tried to told. the ministers entourage manhandled activist and ordered him to delete the footage a bystander filmed the encounter but chose swat boy gesturing and refusing to give up his phone. at that moment that he had for my life because we're seeing these things happening and we've seen how activists are targeted and killed as a result of holding politicians to account. for the story doesn't end there a few days after the incident news portal e.w. and reported that the minister wanted to open a criminal case against. him. it's an unfounded and explains constitutional law expert to force politicians obvious servants of the people constitutional court and so they're accountable to citizens in many different ways the 3rd to institute

legal action or even criminal action was an empty threat there is no law that allows what people in power often do they threaten legal action to try and intimidate people and that's exactly i think what happened. back in the taiwan informal settlement because he cannot meet up with community spokes person. it's been over 3 months since the incident he wants to see what has happened on the ground since minister visited. the site where the fire broke out not much has changed. in the event get any assistance from the from the common people of libya from the scrap material material is you can see these are the benches and so they are not safe at all when the remaining. people will be flooded. flooding and fire with the people who need

a well built homes to protect them from both and boy they must learn to articulate their needs and not accept whatever politicians tell them. within ourselves and find the courage to call them voice out because if we don't know it's going to. swat boy we'll continue to fight for accountability he knows into africa and elsewhere in the world it requires active citizens to defend basic human rights. so it is possible to confront even the highest ministers although as we just saw it's not always a risk free here in uganda for example speaking openly and honestly can sometimes land you in hot water the country is run 225th out of 180 countries on the freedom of speech and press in that state to 20 so it's no wonder that one young man here the decision to express himself turned into a 6 week like where. you had to go once but he came and put

a block over my head and 2 pieces of metal weigh inserted in me here and here you know the scars are now he would then be injected me with something here. these are the scars of apparent torture the injuries of knesset are still fresh allegedly inflicted by ugandan security forces in the aftermath of the january 2021 elections it was a tightly 40 election contest between uganda's long time presidential where it was 70 and is a much younger opponent the musician turned politician robert shukla lining otherwise known as bobby wine but when all was over the fight went on the president was seventies troops raided the opposition offices and actively sought out the wind supporters. can a cigar remembers how he was lured to

a location in kampala on january the 22nd when he arrived he says security forces forced him into the back of a vacuum. who was going to go through it. called me from the front but then they chained them and hung off me from behind so i was hung caught like this house transported in this position that he would. last and what we would never do what we were going to do then the question who was sitting behind came and sat on me like this and told me just surrounded a pass for it to my form but i refused as we were not going to were the reason why i refused to surrender the password to my phone is because i had just communicated with my people i feared he would want to take them to as a result i was beaten up and tortured if you.

like him hundreds of people were arrested and many of them are still missing more than 50 people were killed by security forces according to the united nations. the policeman took kenneth back to his house they confiscated all his election related documents campaign material and posters of the presidential candidate bobby wine then they put him in a cell where 80 other prisoners were already being held. inside the cell people were not able to sit where they would lie on their backs like this because they were beaten they were beaten everywhere on their joints like this and they are wounds where it was in past and blood they used to beat your joints until you could no longer. someway injected with something in the back and most people were wounded really well but with the situation was not good at all inside there.

he spent several weeks in the holding cell where he was tortured again and again chemists wife. was also briefly detained but quickly released due to her advanced pregnancy she gave birth while kenneth was still in jail. for a while after kenneth was taken and around 2 weeks after i had given birth they came and threw tear gas into our house. not even i was sleeping and it was about midnight and i heard movements behind the house we knew but when i saw them going to. tear gas they came and they threw a chair gas canister right through the bathroom window. you know i just ran away with my baby and she still has problems with her eyes as a result of that or gas the one i'm going i'm also going to assume she cannot

didn't know any of this until much later he spent 6 weeks in jail and he was asked to sign a confession over and over again. drago grammy award who were the prosecutor told me to see that it will be one is planning to run through the government using the help of foreignness while president was elected by the people of uganda. they wanted to hear that will be one wants to bring violence in the country yet must serve in the house to maintain peace in the country then he told me that after agreeing to confess i'll be given 500000000 ugandan shillings which is about 115000 euros and i told them that i can't confer stick that he told me i'm stupid and i do not understand and that this is how i will die die in poverty. woman to remedy for women who were going to look for him that was

released on bail and officially charged as a common nuisance it was 7 years government strategy seems simple by forcing confessions they want to criminalize the opposition in order to legitimize their rule and regain the trust of the people but that seems difficult after all that has already happened i need justice in my country for nice. people every day every night and then for announcing freighting for their mission so i'm doing this because this country. while we can all agree that that's a difficult situation but i want us to stay in the region and hope over the border is something that i guarantee you it's not the easiest thing to do in full view but on let's see what comes from south sudan where we're meeting some young women who thought well we don't only want to change politicians or challenge them we also

want to change and challenge our entire society so this sort of the radio show called gender talk to 11 where they talk about feminism because believe it or not issues like menstruation or childbirth but also just women raising their voices as . still things that people believe we should run that if i feel good. today is it showed a favor she's presenting gender talk to 11 a radio show aimed at opening up the conversation around gender equality and women's rights in south sudan. today we are talking here at the most controversial topic i have had on this show we're discussing them with religious feminism that's a word that still typically in south sudan it's a patriarchal society where women are expected to bat children and you're on the household they are really involved in decision making outside their homes we have nose bases that are comfortable enough for women to talk about their issues or to

talk about their struggle or our spaces that give women an opportunity to create 8 something better for themselves changing the narrative well that we want to do with this space or with this radio show. gender stereotype single motherhood menstruation the discussions covered daily life challenges for women with a clear agenda to shake up the norms then we have also religion of christianity religion that is then poking about to be the last time pressed up on nothing. but gender talk to $11.00 is not only by women for women co-host samberg is determined to prove that men can also be feminists. we feel that the minute supposed to handle issues in the set up by women come up to start to talk about some of these things and the men who are those who have not been realizing that they have to play

a huge drop in. the speak of us with gender talk to 11 and they launched a few months ago but the story started on social media. 10 passionate women's rights activist is the person who came up with the idea. i started trying to understand women's rights and i think that's always floating sucked into the work process to just see you know what equals human beings and to just realize the oppression and the discrimination the women and girls face to just open my eyes to the right of gender dynamics that i didn't see ask issues growing up because we soon realized. like many young south sudanese other well grew up in exile the country was a war a few years after its independence from sudan in 2011 she came back and took up a fight. the fact that people are getting roughed up means you're touching nerves that people don't want to be taxed so i mean it's challenging the beautiful thing

about minnesota sites are that and i do have a lot of you know young men and i'm grateful feminist. identity and the show gained a good number of fans but the negative comments on social media also took their toll it's basically insults it's harassment by i think sticking through it somehow it was a little bit starting to define our spaces as women online as well you know it's not the big one mental and so to me retreat and i paid for me just fighting back especially or minus been very helpful because i'm in a state now where they know they can't break. and while they're fighting back they're holding fast on bringing the message to those who need it most the women. some of us good through things then they don't understand that that's not the norm it's not supposed to be like that it needs to be a change to happen if we don't have those conversations i don't see any change happening. toeing the line between traditional and modern life while at the same

time fighting discrimination is no easy task but the fact that these young women making their voices heard is already proof that some change is on the way. wow some incredibly strong women there making their voices heard but you know in many parts of the world there and written and sometimes even written rules about what you can say or can say can uganda for example absolutely no one would criticize the king of gondor who still plays a central role in this society but there are similar rules in different countries and there are always ways to bend the rules in zimbabwe a group of young people are doing this through comedy and a quick warning before we head into this report the 1st scene shows a woman apparently giving birth but it's a skit by the comedians it's not real and the people involved have given us permission to show it so no worries. this is a parody but it reflects the reality in zimbabwe. we were lucky. oh it

almost hit him i don't know who turned out for to. start off on for too. many zimbabweans still don't have access to good health care. and the weekly skits maggie and 2 young female comedians talk about the daily issues affecting their fellow citizens. a lot of women are facing difficulties. delivering their babies. who finding many lives was when the flaw so my giving bears in public transport is this. said the channel bus stop t.v. started as an experiment among friends they posted the skits on social media and then they quickly grew in popularity.

with vote so. they decided to reproduce these conversations biscuits and spotted by the news and real life experiences. just before the start of the pandemic they even launched the show in a minibus but you do the pandemic that show had to be halted social issues local governance national governance service delivery so such issues are those that we cover but there is still time to topics insulting the president for example is punishable by law to find a way to always find a way to just do a skit and. know what's going on in the candle would guess that this is talking about a.b.c. . after the ousting of former president robert mugabe who was in power for 37 years and had hoped for better days but they call me is in ruins and those who criticize authorities are still being silenced. bus stop t.v. offers an alternative to the mainstream news and by disguising their messages in

humor they try to avoid government censorship. yes just not what we're going to get your next meal and in the meantime you'll. enjoy laughs but when you make fun of the situation we're not going to give it lightly but actually telling you things are. like when talking about police violence but what i would like to assure that they should that we did not promote violence it's something that the team members experienced 1st hand i was a prank last year i guess last year. after doing a skit the kids we were were talking about police brutality that's. pretty much. for 3 things where it was it was tough it was something else could he feared for his safety but the reactions of our followers kept her going so am i saying you are good at what you're doing

truly highlighted the said situation in our beloved country. more tragic than fun thank you buster to hear it again while letting this story while letting this story state of our nation through committee what we had thing to do. is head like people are watching people are relating saw. it is good. the young team at bus stop t.v. make people laugh and they give them some form of comic relief they're hoping for change in zimbabwe and as they watch by so many they hope that they too can contribute to this change. will come to the end of the show oh no but you know it would be really great to hear your thoughts what topics they want to be a society and how can we highlight it issues and really get people talking as there's all you can write us on facebook and youtube or so 77 d.w. dots called now today we leave you with
