breath and collapsing in front of hospitals been no beds or oxygen are available have a back to the mental wellbeing of many some experts are convinced this we've had straight good a mental health epidemic. and we can now speak to dr parikh who joins us from delhi he leads the department of mental health behavioral sciences at fortis healthcare thanks for joining us we've just been hearing from indians particularly young indians talking about their struggles with their mental house during this pandemic is the health care provision van for people to seek help. to ask mr. eakins mental health billions if you look worldwide depletions in the 1st 2000000 people globally suffering from aids the nearly 2 years have more than 500 percent for developmental an expert in our country that is

legal now what we need to understand is if yes what conversations will be happening maybe have a lot more people people are talking about. so many so this is all your visions are not really about exploiting explanation when it comes to our art of the word it will also involve the family support friends social media are communicating with your primary physicians and it might get a little guy not a good solution supported guided that's what of it i welcome it's great now you mention health coming i suppose from within communities rather than necessarily from health care professionals but one of the things about india is that it's enormously diverse does that make it challenging to him ensure that all groups are getting the sort of help that they need. but that's an obvious i mean.

even if you look at it again i need to use the employee good example because it gives the context to it that the largely have more explodes of a blunder the mental instability of the india and as you move down to little in the uk the percentage will expose bookham dull so what happens if it exists simply. video says the law it's absolutely news is naturally there is more stigma is most to change we there's more discrimination there most troubles because it is not available and it could be something as simple as let's say having an episode of a zine he and needing a certain fall of expertise but in terms of guidance on many occasions so yes it does make it difficult but at the same time i must see this thread are right at the start of course one study medicine was allowed in our country what it has showed all of us is that digital interferes and dealing with this it is probably going to

be in years to come a more long term solution for a bank plus diverse country like ours because you have somebody said in my easily not having an expert for a lot of minds right now and just fell off a bike to get exploited by these medications counseling sitting with an improviser is where they are because of the internet access and i think that the transition they call it is big and i truly believe that in years to go then instantly proof is going to bridge the media's gaps he had met last notices another change the you mentioned just earlier was that people are talking more about mental health now than before earlier in the program we mentioned campaign by deepika. padukone who is an actor who's been talking about her own experiences of mental health is it possible that. a positive change in attitudes could come as a result of the pandemic the difficult one to answer

isn't to tell. and what level i feel. sad that would we need to bring them in to lovely mughal nation the midland mental convolutions have been increasing over the past decade or not the example if you go you came off of him a non-celebrity years ago musician which is a few years now so it's not do it go away has been talking about it much earlier and then more and more people start out in the world mcglynn the issues the fact that the if they can help it does have an impact we have good except the old models and clintons and their immense impact specially on the other population that that's an absolute fact and what's happening during call it is there and individual may not realize that they are talking about mental health but it is mental health that's been addressed for example the fear of getting an illness and the fear of what if something happens to your family fear of getting treatment under all of

these inside these angry heard stresses later examinations of the results jobs it cannot me all of these psychosocial factors do give stress so that people start talking about it even though and that's also primarily in direction of metal because none of them brought it up you are talking about it because you realize it's not what you want to write up and it is a pandemic because it is banned so now look at ness about it distress is so and you didn't share anything about it has become laws pointed out and which i did was also you know me and to mention fall a country they guard because they couldn't see explication is not dissolution the strength of india always have be it did the big family system so he had a system so the more connected in gauged. communication

that happens it. this this so should leave you with the straight it's all over of all of these that was it is that we have that continues to be a strain the family system goal isn't to actually reason is not automatically our 1st you know love made in clinton's happy show and is fastener says in this case perhaps it's strength dr sami apart from forces health has been fascinating and what you've had to say thanks for joining us. now is trying to answer another of the questions you've been sending interest days is also about the effects of the coronavirus on the mind over to our science correspondent rick williams. what are the neurological symptoms associated with covert 19 and long. coded 19 can affect different

people in very different ways and a certain number of those who contract it develop neurological symptoms by some calculations actually a lot more people experience them than then people who don't in the active phase of the illness those symptoms can include dizziness confusion tingling or numbing strimmer these loss of smell and taste and then more serious cases delirium seizures and stroke doctors say the neurological symptoms could be caused by a number of factors in patients who have serious respiratory distress for instance oxygen deprivation in the brain can play a key role but but an out of control immune response could also contribute to symptoms and in some patients at least the virus appears to also directly infect

the brain or nerves and some symptoms can persist or or even 1st appear after survivors have supposedly recovered from covert 19 as an aspect of this still undefined condition often generically called long code a recent large scale study looking at a wide range of neurological and psychiatric outcomes in patients 6 months after infection found that around one in 3 had complaints in those areas most often anxiety or mood disorders so what are generally classified as mental health issues and although there was some correlation with disease severity with the. people who had bad cases of covert 19 more likely to suffer serious neurological complaints many long term symptoms were also far from

uncommon in people who had moderate cases of the disease. their aquariums that mouse all from listening to you calling 900 special from our head over to the crown of our section of the title the website to read dot com. with him how to be did go suckers with the bias if i had known the boat would be that small i never would have gone on a trip to cuba i would not have put myself and my paris in that danger of the god of the theme of the going to give us leader would. love one funky bit but that one little bit to give them i had serious problems on a personal level and i was unable to live there much i'm going to.

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 harmed 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 museums 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

. i did not know that covert 19 was coming and it doesn't deal with a fire as in this film but we're for bacteria and you will see that for the story of the snowboarding difference as a 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. 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 what 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. the use of clothes and the mission style as it's to cover these highly charged and

very sensitive topics. these artistic choice were made better reason they are home . and 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. but combining slapstick with better satire thin ice features a t.v. presenter and his camera man she's the. one because that you could always just got. this year stuck out festival of animated film features a strong program of short films with a lasting impact. but as you found out what was off

a problem you had. the piece. but there are. i'm joined now by my colleague edward kennedy a lot of thought provoking content there in a far cry from tom and jerry for myself when did animation become so serious well they've always been animated films that have dealt with difficult topics but they are certainly coming into the mainstream us 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 choosing to confront political issues using animated films especially i think animated films people associate them with childhood so they are

easier 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 graceless characters in these films or as we saw in one of the films there used animal characters to emphasize with the killers human behavior not to 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. from the 26th took this path in order to discuss both sexism and racial discrimination it won the best animated film oscar and took in a $1000000000.00 at the box office big tsars 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 city traffic. so that's the high end of also gives emerging filmmakers a platform for the production values due to very high. think you are 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 is a different kind of artistic vision animated illustrations drawn on paper it looks at how humans might evolve in the future quite unsettling i have to say but generally even student films these days are of a very high standard this is well illustrated by a remake of this famous 1969 the animation of newland

bambi god this. version of course. here. is a remake in this year's festival. to say i actually prefer the richard north but you can see the amazing leap forward even in the animations of my over the years right adrian the best was getting underway 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 limited numbers and 3 times are being staggered these are just must have their temperatures taken and when must the absence of international tourism means it's

a year olivia push comes from paris to cross. the blossoms are harvested in the early mornings from august to october and taken to a nearby factory for immediate processing. $350.00 kilos of blossoms healed only about one kilo of pure jasmine extract. just mint may well be the most important element in the identity of should know number 5. in the early 1920 s. she asked him to create a scent from the finest of compounds these are most often extracted from blossoms and of those the jasmine from grass is the finest. coco chanel and her new fragrance revolutionized the perfume world just as she had the fashion world before. in the 1950 s.
