2nd career when on the tour in the men's event her compatriots master the waves to improve his place in the overall standings and cap a perfect event for brazilian surfers. really. are watching w. news our code 900 special is next with a look at how know paul is struggling to cope with a new wave of infections don't forget you can stay up to date with all the latest headlines on our web site at this g.w. dot com for me and the entire news team here in berlin thank you so much for your company. the fight against the corona virus tend to have much. less the rate of infection in developing what does the latest research say. information and context the coronavirus update 19 specials. on t w. i was issued when i arrived here i slept with 6

people in a room. it was hard i was free. i even got white hair. learning the german language and. this gets me and they go but you need to interrupt this and say you want to do their story. or fighting and reliable information for margaret. india's outbreak is spreading neighboring new poll is now recording $57.00 times more daily cases than last month. both infection and death rates are at record highs. the coronavirus is overwhelming no poll. hospitals have to have enough

beds staff have to treat patients outside the own realities. racing. last few years coming true as a nationwide service a few saxons. still to the brink of collapse. the red cross warns of a human catastrophe in nepal. welcome to the show one bed for zola millions of polys work in india but many are returning home due to the lock downs and lack of work a lot are also bringing in our want to present for families and friends with them covert 19 cases have exploded in border towns in the capital gap and 200 kilometers from the border print or e.m.c. run out of space bodies are being burned up pies in public places we checked in with b.j. acharya from the johns hopkins university school of medicine and asked him who is to blame all the pallies returning home from india or india itself.

i think you're having me i don't think it's a blame game to be honest because the code was circulating in the amanda valley way beyond the good never actually was under control the same way it was in india i think it was easier to sort of blame it on the porous border and sort of differ on the responsibility of that in the authority. that is what i think was frankly going on because political rallies were going on religious festivals are allowed marriages big mergers with hundreds of people were allowed for since numbers like started to playing last year and even up to like the last 3 weeks or so people are still gathering for engagement parties like weddings 2 big rallies were happening the political parties were like going out in full force so at a thing it's feared like blame on some of the people just going back back and forth

from india nepal you talking about the situation in nepal where rallies were going on and political rallies and gatherings and events yes and in kind of alley where the numbers actually never went down they were always like people having covered they were going to the hospitals just not the scale of. rate of patients down but you know went down and the political leaders including her prime minister never actually address the core issues as you know just a couple of weeks ago he was saying if you could. leave and guard live coverage go away a national t.v. wow so we can turn back time but what's the government doing now has it changed its tune is a taking a different tack is it clamping down. they have initiated a law. and try to stem the flow of people but. like last year they made a rash decision saying our everyone. you should lock down and that what that led is

people from villages and far away places they had to like leave government who because they wouldn't have a place to burn like to make a living and they are left are only $500000.00 people left in a day and i wonder how many of them were like us in dramatic carrier straight so they're like taking cover from all all across the country now and within 2 weeks we have seen more than nearly 100000 cases going up the death rate has climbed more than like 250 percent. 2 3rd of the country is like high or higher risk of called it right now so it is actually like i think that is a bigger super spreader event in my opinion the situation sounds a lot is that how you describe it straight it. just and that is to me the prime minister had it interview with c.n.n. where he blamed people for being negligent which is kind of giving up

a responsibility as a leader and saying like this is how we're going to come out of this and he basically institutions under control and it is telling not under control so what are people doing to cope and how are people coping how can they cope. so a lot of young volunteers have risen up to this moment gives me ideas i have a feeling of what happened after the earthquake in 2015 where india was also a crisis and we had to come up with like solutions right away there are different face groups which are active connecting people there's a group of people who are running a website called liquid connect. where you can request housing food because you need a caretaker for your family member to be in the hospital but then they don't have a place for the caretaker to stay because of covert lockdown so people are cooking meals at home they're like supplying meals to the local hospitals we're all across

the world and diaspora is like raising money trying to get oxygen concentrator in the foundation that i work with american upon medical foundation we just raise $100000.00 to staff a mass isolation center in the clinic clinical care center along with the government and the army so you know all of us are like trying to pitch in but we need to have like a central authority who's like directing all of these like fragmented some word services and i think that is what is lacking. in my opinion let's see if they can get their act together i hope so b.j. i tell you joining us from the johns hopkins university school of medicine thank you very much thank you for it i think for him me and then you just think complicating the political situation in nepal or maybe even improving it the prime minister has lost a vote of confidence in parliament failing to show he has enough support to stay in office well the coronavirus meantime marches on managing to invade every corner of the globe even the world's highest mountain everest as tourists gear up to make the

world's most famous climb and you've changed at that awaits them. last year the pandemic devastated nepal's tourism industry so this year the forty's have eased quarantine rules and issued more than $400.00 climbing permits a new record that maybe allowing the virus to spread uncontained on everest to try to stop this climbers are not allowed to socialize before they start their absent and customary religious ceremonies to pray for say fix the dishes are now smaller more private affairs but the local sherpas guides and cooks who depend on tourism and climbing for their livelihoods are worried. we're working here cities and we're making sure we follow all protocols so that we can save ourselves from cold at 19 can't get it it's only you know a lot of good. although you know you try not to mingle we used to have

a lot of fun at base camp we would sing and dance. but we don't have any of that now just we keep to ourselves and speak only within our teams. to stop some of the good and the best health professionals at everest base camp say they do not have the capacity to test for the disease dozens of people have been flown off base camp in recent weeks and at least 2 tested positive afterwards yet the government has yet to confirm a single official coated case on everest. all the sides making it to the top of the world there is something else climbers could do in a poll has asked trick is to bring back their empty also didn't tanks which they usually abandon on the slopes and see if they'll take on the extra load meantime a team of mountaineering guides is setting up a separation line at the peak before climbers attempt to reach the summit from the

chinese side or come in contact with anyone or anything from the nepalese side. in other news germany is making the johnson and johnson one shot vaccine available to all adults it only been recommended for people over 60 because of blood clots in younger recipients the government is now adopting the same approach as with the astra zeneca shot in a move to get more people inoculated germany has managed to get the 3rd wave under control in recent days and is trying to wrap up its vaccination rollout. time to answer more of your questions now over to science correspondent there. what proposals are there to finance production and distribution of vaccines to countries not able to afford them. the central proposal to do this is what's called the kovacs initiative it was set up around the year ago by a coalition of different agencies among them the world health organization to help

ensure access even for the world's poorest countries to the tools that they need to fight covert 19 including vaccines that have been authorized by the w.h.o. kovacs is being funded by a number of wealthy countries as well as private institutions like the bill and melinda gates foundation back in february gonna was the 1st country to receive vaccines sponsored by the initiative a couple of months on the kovacs is still far from living up to its promise for a number of reasons the primary one is that in a market where vaccines remain in short supply money talks and the countries that pledged to help provide access to poorer nations have snapped up almost all the vaccine being made straight off of production lines so far around half of the

available doses have gone into arms in those wealthier country. for instance in germany over 30000000 doses have been distributed until now that's around 2 and a half percent of all vaccinations given so far worldwide in the democratic republic of congo on the other hand which has a larger population fewer than $5000.00 doses have been getting so kovacs is still falling far short of the initiatives stated goals even though practically every expert out there says that in a globalized world leaving less wealthy nations out now could end up costing us some or even all of the progress that we've made so far. eric williams i'm been physical and thanks for watching stay safe and see you again soon.

china as a new world power i we wish tries to help us understand what's happening now in the authoritarian countries. so much information what are the exiled artists thoughts about the role of independent thinkers. what would an open dialogue look like. when ways struggle for truth close up. next.

n.d.s. slowly takes us back to press kids and the story office in orissa. is one to inspire consummation in all over the wilds they were once hunted freighted. destroyed today the tree doing features a funny to get a place of a helpless. 16 on w. . in many countries education is still a privilege poverty is one of the main cause it some young children work in mine shafts instead of going to class others can attend classes only after they finish making. millions of children all over the world who have to go to school.

when asked why. because education makes the world more just. make up your own mind. d.w. make for mines. the world is in flux and china's rule is increasingly important but in our corona world getting reliable information from inside the country is difficult. to hold that thought that was. what exactly is happening in china and how should we deal with the country's growing influence and we put these questions to acclaimed artist and activist i way way once a prisoner in china and now living in exile. here so many human rights

lawyers disappearing every months i revere were ozzy. that's west's really should ask. the battle for china's future role in the world that is currently being fought in hong kong by thousands of young people. to join his grip estimate tears since the beginning of the pandemic and there's no sign of them changing so is china open to a dialogue. if there's anyone who knows how to deal with china and what's at stake in hong kong its chinese artist ai wei wei. his critical art work often got him in trouble with the chinese authorities and after a period of detainment he eventually left the country in 2015.

i think i. can go back but i don't know how when i retire come out. my way documents everything and shares his wife and work with more than half a 1000000 followers on instagram we arranged a corona safe meeting with him in cambridge england and asked him how we should interpret the information we are getting from china. the entire now we are often information is not america clear. not only to love the west but that to their own citizens to trans people internet is censored and state of a gun ownership is just purely. tells the parties. i. totally think china has handled the outbreak.

after the beginning there and they have agreed has said taking. control of the information is in the very center. task for the party so they don't see the information objective but to read their users who are more benefit to the party . i am way way has been making confrontational art work and documentary films for almost 40 years because of what is. the next. highway studio in beijing was a free zone in the city for many years but in 2011 he was arrested and imprisoned for 81 days since the corona virus outbreak he has been analyzing the information for more fun the city where the doctors who 1st reported the danger of the new virus were silenced the deal late last fall clear record because they stopped the

doctors to tom bodett they they questioned them. in the police station asked them to cough as and made a agreement not to talk about this and you more soledad period of time. sees. a big advantage to spirit. i'm sure it's not their intention i'm sure they miscalculate to the situation i'm sure they don't think of the rugrats. you know great deal what happened is hurting the whole world also argue that deeply. but you know communist party they will never meet this kind. mystic you know never. there are people. he meets this kind of mistake.

so the information we receive from china's official channels is limited and often to be taken with a grain or 2 of salt in who hung however a small group of citizen journalists have gone in search of the truth. they share facts figures and images with the world via social media. you mean you can you should you even through. the should. have you followed the citizen journalism reporting from yes there are a few guys that did the reporting. a small group of citizen journalists became active in the early days of the pandemic and were hung since once again the government was releasing so little information

they took matters into their own hands and at their peril went looking for the facts. that. among them was the young lawyer. when you call we. will need to. push it. out.

the. use of belief. but. now people start at the fingers. almost no government in the world completely have the transparency. if you see what happened to.

snowden. you can see us will be the same. but different levels. because in the west that you have journalism you have for different parties you know for freedom of speech so it's march difficult and costly for western government to make a life but that doesn't mean they don't want to make life all the power want to make like. the whole was a being in. serbia and what is your what. sort of all. this is there's a song who survives also in this that you. know we're. human beings but that we have no rights you know never. never have a chance to speak out what do we call ourselves anyway. there was only one who knew

. all of. us all that you know was always up so that he. knew she. being part of him but he was a businessman. he those people audience poll see are not unpaid columnist they are not trying to. stay power. you will make consarned about the facts and they want to tell the truth. to your solution to the. one i wish you all over the form of. being. to show that you're

good. she. says of the bridge. with. some of my design. with you know if you was your mother the one. you saw how do you. you know how you got. those why do you want to. do was follow the most. good your the what would your. toes if you don't you make. something you. will find useful in the you know when it's on top. you feel.

like. they're being put in jail and disappear nobody knows where they are i'm. it's a very very. strange. demand the information i don't have now we're see we are very transparent you know all the information but don't tell where where they put those individuals. you know there are so many human rights lawyers disappearing every month or so every year where as if. that's where some really should not ask and then nobody asked the take a verse or a letter no more situation. that is bad because that has send a clear signal to try. the understand of the west doesn't really care. so long as those those activists are still present.

there's no independent judicial system the can arrest anybody who can make anybody disappear make me disappear and disappear 81 days it's no lawyer my family doesn't know where i don't know where i was being put he knew of block off and driving a wrong and you know very secret location a military base. what struck me is that you were trying to dialogue if an independent how do you see that i'm crazy guy in dialogue i love dialogue i like a lot of conversation. a serious a response i i think. i'm dealing with human being. military guys. lights up like this and sitting up to see it like this and the

report to them if i want to go to pastoral or wash my hands you know ira step every more so it is good training for me. to serve the world we're sorry to tell you why you got old your son never recognizing you. that his at his home where hard to hear you know because she was. yes for. i makes me feel very sorry. i know. they don't believe a watch and they're saying they're doing their job you know i feel pretty positive you know why they have to do that. and if you think of your father yes that's the woman deicing coupled him she was in jail

for years and then he acts out for 20 years. i grew up with him and the whole thing you functioned that helps me a lot. in sr. yeah same exact same province now they put it we were. use 10 times over to collapse. he tried to commit suicide several times. 0 but he still has a tough man he has been going through all those small stiffer cause situation lot where you insult physical punishment and who really use solitary but he's some 5 ft i around him very much. to go while watching the boys in the wizard others are. eager to get off the something other look at why they're going to do the work. they do you know wasn't

a very good knowledge about how you don't assume here is yours i don't know what you're the one. who got a lot of you know none of that you or. somebody you know sure sounds. similar julie. the citizen journalists in china have received little support from the west so far. 'd off that. if you ask modern citizens probably 80 percent are very such as far there is a calmness a party. because they are the number no another condition the whole life is about peru wash it's very successful. and there's so people doesn't really care as

much so the words truths never be mentioned they're watching. the central television which is for god i read they. and their very successfully. the mind set the whole nation so that is really dangerous because you have 41400000000 people which i mean informed. but what percentage just. follow this to the center in history or is interesting you percent 0 percent or below 0 because the. internet has been very well controlled strongest so early and states created it's not the only country in the formation it's

a big. country. your fish. image fingerprint your blood type your leaving it. to your body and the whole. where you are asked. to see your health condition and all of this completely stays hands and. gives such advantage for them to man 10 so called the stability. they're improving those technologies the information control lives in. are we facing their future of complete survey it's all you know that's for sure not future where you preserve it completely. civilians.

the chinese people don't seem to worry so much about privacy. they're not a worry to 1st. time never really had their. private property is a communist society and once you have no private property you don't have privacy you know you used to believe. every seem to belong to the nation even your body your mind. and how for a team meeting columnist about bruce 80 meeting this biggest. dark side here in the world. some couples that won the get into the party they have to receive their red heads and that to repeat

this 3 sentence to be loyal to the party willing to sacrifice our recent include life of the 2 protectors secret from the parking. lot of the party it's a secret. but that's china. can anyone become a member of yes if you if you accept. this through voice. the example you are never going to hear trust or for to be reliable you can't keep a secret. you will never reveal those troops there you can become one once you become a member you are privileged because your trust that you are part of this mafia family.

since the last virus outbreak sars in 2003 china has changed quite a bit thinks i way way the west still seemed very far away then where is now western economies are much more dependent on china. and i've become soul. become so important in pass the time these 30 years. their. speed of development. become number 2 or number one nation u.k. even imagine. and can see every developed nation such as europe or us are deeply involved under the pen on the economy over to and. i think the west. for their own

advantage. for their all profit. they lead to their you know not to questioning the legitimacy of the so called a common values being practiced in their society so human rights commission and the many many are looked. as being neglected by the west this think as fine as long as we have a good deal you know there's a lot of profit. huge profit. the west dealing with because you never imagine such a big labor market. deeply want to work in our body want to work and they work very fission to me they're good or crude they are you know. they don't have protections on snow you mean.

no more no workers' rights no all no or hell see insurance snobs here no human mental control so all the sense of the west cannot develop or doesn't want to develop because there's such little profit there will turn out to do it and try and they didn't murder while state capitalism marsh. the market for capitalism so they can design 5 she can design something which. have no market yet. now i think the west facing huge problems. in the. but the same time doesn't play the same or same value or same rules. they don't have 4 clear ideology or the principles no ideology at all it's

a set that lets you reach that's not ideology. so what to do. i think. this continuously be a problem between the west and the china. i think it's not fair competition so you feel you are not clearly. the competition. the west would be in the. business as one type offered by a bomb. but i think. weston doesn't do that well there is no all european you need is just totally brick and.

only interests and there you see how deeply germany. some came to try in the german industry have clearly announced their future depends on time. and as a nation so of course they follow us england france and other nations. are a nation in europe. of partially could work for their principles just tried to. grab. the you know the prophet i i think confrontation also it's kind of dialogue. and. sometimes you can have a piece for dialogue but sometimes you need to. make

you. know our primary as being all or almost a year now. the situation is that spirit of the young people their naive innocent they believe nick the there will not loose the ground for freedom and they fight really fight they don't care they would suffer piracy and he said to make. me come calling become a stable. soul continues to be. brutal police forces. they arrest. you know it's very hard to fight face a state because they are professionally hired to do their job and

socio people have to do it after. school after. working hours. your night and then they have a clear mission and a very impressive very brief proof intelligent determined. but and could be very sad. but they seem somehow to relief that they can make

a difference. they are making some difference because this whole generation become more clear about who they are i mean it's on the whole impossible. and i think of those who are deeply rooted and those are not are you so much. in the battle as now. i. was. as a kid if we all talk about it are to help a lot of us that's a sense offer them a speech. prefab trap of the warriors. and it can be small wars but has to

be easier. being to get us home think. miriam was unfolding this heart beating to give you some balls it doesn't you do your research into. little tool just right you told it straight it's still good you try to be true but it will change with the beer bottle. ship that she allowed you to take your body and ship. load. equally n.d.s. slowly conspicuous don't depress kids a story office $1010.00 some. is one to inspire conservation is only for the wild.
