it is just one song so really bring you on going out magical and you've never thought i would surprise you so it was just possible medical really what moves them to want. to be. the way mars and critics want to join us for metals like stocks. you're watching t.w. news asia coming up today surpassing a market that no country wants to reach india logs 20000000 record cold cases as the crisis continues indian faddle country and health officials faced and new variant of the code of virus and neighboring bangladesh developments in india's nervously will find out how the country has been coping as it hopes to avoid its own covert crisis.

i'm melissa chana thank you for joining us india has crossed the 20000000 threshold when it comes to covert cases and that's only the officially recorded infections experts say the actual numbers could be 5 to 10 times higher the oxygen shortage at hospitals continues and the health care system remains overwhelmed with not enough beds or drugs for patients the infection rate is slowing down however and the government is aggressively vaccinating as many people as possible in the country of 1400000000 here and we've had cheema in delhi with more. the worst largest manufacturer of vaccines is basically the serum institute of india but i know this is due to you shouldn't this be a key usually just vaccination going along with another indigenous in good vaccine now people are asking themselves whether that you do government underestimated its

need for maxine's after the 1st wave of the good virus into the india and these again next tuesday vaccines some 66000000 doses of vaccine were sent in dozens of countries as applied to india's vaccination diplomacy the countries data dispute also was appreciated but now in defines its job slot it's also started getting now that seems to overseas for example that russia's v. is now being used as that solution. and india isn't just importing vaccines from abroad it has stopped exporting its own production of them as well and that threatens to have a serious knock on effect for other countries still waiting to immunize their own populations india is a powerhouse behind kovacs the international program coronating vaccines to the world's poorest nations about half of kovacs doses are on order from india sara institute through kovacs and bilateral deals many countries are depending on india

that includes nations in africa and in asia places including afghanistan myanmar and bangladesh let's take a closer look now at bangladesh now dhaka is relying on india to pull through and deliver doses until then health officials have put the country on lockdown and while infections have started dropping the government has decided to extend the measures for now but that is turning out to be terribly tough for the poorest people in the country. there are many new mails to feed in the bangladeshi capital dhaka. the coronavirus pandemic and the lock down are hitting people hard. especially those already straining to make ends meet. so many the food provided by this charity is all they have to eat at the end of their daily ramadan fast or if tell. me if i've lost my job

in this coronavirus pandemic i have no earnings so i come here for if tar. to go buy all these are staying alive all my rickshaw under the sun but i make very little money and i'm too poor to buy if they are so i come here for free food. the government imposed districts nationwide lockdown in april to try to contain a massive surge in infections. they're optimistic that the measures are working as cases appear to be falling. but the restrictions are taking a heavy toll. more than 2 thirds of people in bangladesh have been forced to stop work or close their businesses at least for a time because of the pandemic. downs are hitting our bread and butter i stopped dates for ramadan because the lock down i have to keep my shop closed the dates are rotting as i was unable to sell them this is difficult for us these lockdowns on

the wood we are going to live in my purview and skullcaps are still inside my closed shop i was expecting to sell them all during the month of ramadan before he'd but i doubt that's going to happen it is very problematic for us. but the government is resisting pressure to open up more quickly saying this would lead to more casualties especially with the end of ramadan approaching in the middle of may. they're also concerned that what's happening in india could come to bangladesh . they say if the indian variant is allowed to circulate on the streets of london desh the consequences would be devastating. the urging bangladeshis not to let their guard down despite their desire to get back to normal for many though the situation is already dire and will only get worse if the pandemic is not brought under control. joining us is chamonix or hussein who leaves the public health association of bangladesh and has been working on public health matters for several

decades i'm curious because we've seen this play out across the world the poor are disproportionately impacted by the pandemic what is the government of bangladesh doing about that thank you much. more. or less. but still the ocean waves their. economy. so all during the lockdown one of those government is required. to hold. these people who are really not i mean if they are in income that's one support is given but there are number of organizations and us. are also coming up. living

situations of these poor souls who are not working. we're working on a daily basis and some of them lose their jobs so that's. where it by the government. and as a public health expert you know that the economic situation always goes hand in hand now you've been tracking the pandemic from the beginning and one thing i'm curious about is are you worried about a surge after ramadan ends later this month. second surge has a lot of. community rage. of the 2nd week of march but fortunately. just come

down and what is not. now is $97.00. but. the during the not month time. i mean you know we haven't they still believe it's best to cause there are a lot of moments of. people from what this place there are a lot of moment in the market that. mean it. news arts. longer news very much our situation so that's and body builders are so we are going. to leave and how this really is to get the sec. 3rd. party where you are a loony. where. this. was you who called in

march. this was duty on. march. and then there was quite a reduction in. emissions by you by your i. was only. so it's a half it least i'm thinking so it's definitely something to watch i would want to quickly ask you how concerned you are about this covert variant circulating in india just next door. so we're on this mission. in bangladesh we try to leave. this. so far so far. this year is our institution. invariants. or. getting very very very.

close the border. last week. and that was. very and. to monitor the situation because you do have a long border chamonix i was saying thank you so much for joining us. well thank you as we've been mentioning a new double mutation of the corona virus has been partly blamed for the rapid increase in cases in india and something that makes neighboring states such as bangladesh particularly vulnerable experts say it is more infectious and deadly than earlier variants here's what we know the west indian state of maharashtra is where the b. 1617 far into the coup in

a virus was 1st recorded in december 2020 the strain has 2 mutations on his spike preteen that's the bit of the virus that gets into our body cells both genetic mutations of cropped up before around the world in other strains of the current a virus and when they did they willing to the virus passing between people more easily they were also linked to the virus being better able to get past the body's defenses. but if the in the 1st metric increase and give across india more diversity off of the thing i'm defining that what might be happening is that something that it was a process of between people is very rapidly moving for the population of people who are yet to contract the infection and therefore spreading faster. but how quickly does this new type spread to get a handle on that research is need to be able to see when people have it and when they die from it which means sequencing the viruses genes that research has been

extremely limited so far in india out of millions of cases in this new wave only around a 1000 sequences have been published meanwhile scientists across the world are working to find out how deadly b. 1617 is as the number of people dying continues to rise they're on says can come quickly enough. that's it for today there's always more on our website d.w. dot com for slash asia we leave you with pictures of people across asia getting their coded vaccinations or administration down thank you for watching future model and goodbye.

are you ready for some great news i'm christine one blood on the eyes i'm ready my country with a brand new africa the show that tackles the issues shaping the possibly now with more time to also bought into all of the time stuff. what's making the hittites and what's behind it where on the streets to give you in the forms on the inside. w.'s africa every friday on d w. people

to submit hers to us. troy we listen to the. reporter every weekend on w. challenging the status quo with topical animation on this edition of arts and culture. stay tuned for a taster of some of the best animated films of the past 2 years. and the most famous number in perth you history turns 100 in its interior week we find out why shemale number 5 is still so astonishingly successful.

a very warm welcome now we start at the stuttgart international festival of animated film the 28th edition is getting underway with a diverse virtual program it features the world's best animated features discussions with the people who made them and of course award ceremonies but one of the most popular elements is the short film program many of this year's shorts deal with issues that have special significance right now. the gray winged blackbirds and the common black bird making the entire range of black but species now extinct . what would the world be like if all the beauty of nature could only be seen in the museum this animated film takes species loss of plants and animals due to pollution and environmental destruction to an extreme at some point nature strikes back with a pandemic but the film sad beauty was made in 2019 before the coronavirus pandemic

that i did not know that over 19 was coming and it doesn't deal with a virus in this film but with bacteria as you will see that for a story that is an important difference as the title suggests it's a sad story but it challenges you to find some consolation in a certain kind of beauty. the film's unmistakable message is that we humans cannot destroy nature completely and we can only survive with nature not in opposition to it. was. in an empty places the somber chords of beethoven's moonlight sonata provide the soundtrack as machines operate the perspective expands showing spaces

utterly devoid of people when now seems like a metaphor for lockdowns was actually also completed before the pandemic it's a melancholy meditation on machines continuing in their mechanical loops independent of the humans whose lives they were meant to improve. 2 polar bears flee their home and arrive in the world of brown bears. the animated short migrants addresses the heavy topics of climate change the migrant crisis and racism so it's french creative team deliberately opted for a playful aesthetic style. reuse of clothes and stop motion style as it's to cover these highly charged and

very sensitive topics. these artistic choice were made better reason they. and then discus and sing about these programs. and the filmmakers cleverly use images that have become part of our global visual memory to bring their message home. that become finding slapstick with better satire fin ice features a t.v. presenter and his camera man she's the. spaceship and one because it's going to get. this year stuck out festival of animated film features a strong program of short films with a lasting impact. but he found out it was off

a poem you had. the piece. but there are. i'm joined now by my colleague edward kennedy a lot of thought provoking content there a far cry from tom and jerry for myself when did animation become so serious where they've always been animated films that have dealt with difficult topics but they are certainly coming into the mainstream arch more often nowadays it's interesting because you have on the one hand these blockbuster superhero films that are based on comics with real live actors that are actually quite frivolous but on the other hand you have animated films the reputation of being cute and kitschy that are actually quite gritty and taking on serious topics so not have diversity why do you think filmmakers that cheesing to confront political issues using animated films

especially i think animated films people associate them with childhood so they are easy to emotionally connect with of course we do want to reach some young people with some of these issues and it also helps that you can have genderless or great characters in these films or as we saw in one of the films their use and the characters to emphasize that ridiculous human behavior not an animal farm my quince by the way has already picked up quite a few prizes but major animation studio productions have also been telling important stories so you hope hear from 26 the took this path in order to discuss sexism and racial discrimination it won the best animated film oscar and took in a $1000000000.00 at the box office pixar soul which won the best animation oscar this year also tackled racism and the central character the

1st african-american lead in the pixar film by the way it was based on a real life new york using jennifer. so that's the high end also gives emerging filmmakers a platform where the production values do you know very high. just think you're right in general but there are quite a number of films in the festival that hark back to a more in the tradition for example what will future humans look like as a different kind of artistic vision animated illustrations on paper it looks at how humans might evolve in the future quite unsettling i have to say but generally even films these days are of a very high standard this is well illustrated by a remake of this famous 69. of.

the god. version of course. here. is a remake in this year's festival. i'd say i actually prefer the richard north but you can see the amazing leap forward to even the animation is of my over the years right adrian the best was getting under way now we hope our viewers will enjoy it we thank you for a very animated discussion thank you. more good news for art lovers now especially those in rome the vatican museums have finally reopened to visitors to limit numbers and 3 times are being staggered these are just must have that temperatures taken and when must be absence of international tourism means it's
