in that camp and they feel like they're being put in prison that they're in prison their freedom of movement a movement is being restricted. ok that's qualified 1st the individual you're talking about 4 counts out of there if you want. to buy these measures all the capsule ok that's qualified 1st the individual you're talking about 4 counts out of $31.00 there are affected by these measures all the camps all that are to are packed up in a moment and not just from recently developed world are. our science really. done for us or we who are us so this is not something you who you know. the. beneficiaries there are almost in the camps indeed are above through normal movement this is up in the past you're in you're in a cold emergency where you have who was arrested and now all we do is ironic

is is organizing these 4 camps citations with the local convention to explain the reasoning all through all these changes in the finance what we get even more sleek or saratoga this will mean restriction of their for you the whole movement now from book ministry to call dorothy's and the courage of the commission we have received assurances that the openness and the freedom of movement in the. gotti the now in the camps ready to know of the affair invite the face of well let's let's continue on that point because asylum seekers in greece that we've spoken to who have the necessary paperwork and a legal right for their asylum claims to be heard there complaining of arbitrary detentions by the greek authorities they say they live in constant fear is your

agency aware of these allegations and is a prepared to look into it. listen our our agency is fully involved in the management of the over the camps in the in the middle i don't know. i can assure you that the our we are closing morning during. what is uppity e-mail our terms and this is not a what you are very it's certainly not a case of detention it is facilities. we really heard the information we. we served. on the geishas rank amal. reports there were meet and we reduce the use of her daughter her daughter to this group. we also made. public statements invited the authorities to follow up on certain certain how to manage the resume rocco i just have 30 seconds

unfortunately with you i just want to get your take you know that the camps in greece are notorious for their hardship and basically for not even having the basic facilities for the human beings that they host do you see any change in that. because we have to distinguish the camps in the mainland in the camps in the islands in the so-called greeks oral swabs certainly or they're legations and nobody can deny global war we all see so in in character like moria the situation in the mainland is just equally different between 2060 you know now this thunderous air drastically greece ok and certainly they're not comparable to the situation that we saw in some camps or all right thank you so very much john luka rocco in the head of the u.n. migration agency in the eye of the i am or rather in greece thank you sir for your time you're welcome. going to turn our attention now to the german cabinet which

has approved more ambitious targets for lowering greenhouse gas emissions it follows a court ruling that said a $21000.00 climate protection law did not go nearly far enough or tests on america's ruling conservatives are now under pressure to add some muscle to their climate policy they're facing an election year challenge from the green party and the environment is a deciding factor for many voters. it is the young who have shouted the loudest lately about a looming climate designed a stunt earlier this year the german constitutional court ruled in a case brought mainly by young people that the government is not moving fast enough waiting until 2030 to impose tough burdens on polluters the courts say it violates the right to a clean environment and the young would be worst affected because they will live with more of the consequences the government knew it had to make changes. in

a special we've agreed that we have to act faster as a basic law says you can't just have freedoms for the present generations you have to think about the freedoms for the generations to come. the bill the government is now introducing brings forward the target date for climate neutrality by 5 years by 2045 transport industry and agriculture it is hoped will in effect no longer inmate in the greenhouse gases and the road to that goal of greening the german economy has been mapped out more precisely 2 by 2030 emissions or to fall by 65 percent compared with 99010 percent more ambitious than under the current plan. will it be enough to stay on track in the coming years campaigners are not yet convinced we have seen german climate policy propelled to another level if you will also with their climate neutrality target of 2045 but now it's really time to underlay this

also with concrete measures because we don't have them yet the new plan and should mean the pace of climate action will speed up noticeably sooner some worry poorer people here will end up paying the price if environmental taxes are increased but for now younger germans are demanding climate justice and politicians have been forced to listen. i like to bring in now at least sabado my climate policy spokes woman for germany's green party a very good day miss bottom as a green party lawmaker how significant are today's cabinet decisions but it anew and yeah. we are thrilled by those decisions for years we have been waiting for that for more ambitious targets but the government they had to know just because the maximum pressure of that was 2 tional. of the constitutional court so it's not coming right on their heart. but still something is moving i just

recently germany's a top court ruled that the government wasn't moving fast enough in tackling climate change as you know and now it is proposing action let's listen to the environment ministers reaction and then we'll continue our conversation after that. flow exactly 2 weeks ago i would never have believed that i would be sitting here with a cabinet decision for a new climate protection money but that's politics think of the constitutional court ruling 13 days ago came as a surprise but in the end up positive surprise for climate protection. a positive surprise for climate policy here but do these new measures go far enough . yeah and you address the problem we have seen new targets on paper but so far we don't see what measures will be what the government will you know

push forward because we need climate action and not just new targets but minister shows it just says it's a bit ironic for me because just 2 years ago she praised climate not the best will ever and you know it now well now they just changed it and they didn't you know really regrets it from a decisions. for me it's kind of heart hard to believe those words and the most important thing is to see concrete measures for example if we need to expend we knew the energies and the conservatives especially they are blocking they are hindering renewable energies for example in bavaria over i'm from the conservatives and they did everything to block wind energy so i'm waiting for a once what would be the plan of action. to resolve bottom as spokes person for climate policy for the year green party here in germany thank you for

your time. now 4000 people no masks no social distancing it seems unthinkable but london just made it happen the 41st brits awards came became the 1st major indoor music event with a live audience in the u.k. capital in over a year the ceremony was part of a government program looking at bringing cultural events back without spending mcchrystal take a look. new research could sound so good that 2021 brit awards saw music triumphantly returned to the big stage after the coronavirus hiatus and in front of an audience of mostly essential workers this year's nominees proved they still know how it's done. after being slammed for snubbing female artists in 2020 this year's brits saw women

dominate all major categories the pop trio little mix made history becoming the 1st all female band to take home the award for best british group. it's not easy being a female in the u.k. pop industry we've seen the one my dominance of the sexism and lack of diversity we're proud to give our best to surround ourselves with strong women and now using our voices more than ever to hit the big winner of the night with solo artists do a leap to awards and a dream come true. thank you so much except in the woods in 2018 i said that i want to see more women on these stages and i feel. 3 years later we're seeing that happen and it really is such an honor to be

a part of this wave of women and music britain's biggest celebration of musical achievements culminated with a performance honoring front line workers when the laughs no health service choir joined dragon bone marrow and a larger than life on screen pay. after a year most people would like to forget the brits were able to stage a show memorable for all. right recent. great stuff our writing of the top story that we're tracking for you this hour conflict escalates in the middle east word israeli air strikes on gaza have killed at least $43.00 to a mosque fired a barrage of rockets into israel killing at least 5 people the u.n. has warned there is a risk of full scale didn't want. to. get you can always get it appears on the go just download or out from google place or from the our store that

past our special report from taliban territory. i'm british by major welcome to news asia are glad you could join us even as india continues to cope with the world's worst coronavirus outbreak the situation across southeast asia is also was nearing thailand cambodia and laos are among countries reporting a major surge in infections the rising cases and the prospects of celebrations over either have prompted some nations to impose lock downs and ramp up testing and vaccinations. queuing for a test in bangkok latest hot spot and move testing center has been set up next to and market the site of a new plaster of infections in the city many of the recent cases involve the

b 117 variant 1st found in britain. this strain of care that 19 is very infectious and spreads much faster in 3 to 5 days the patient status can change from green to yellow to orange to read in no time during the past 4 days we've had 100 deaths. just over 2 percent of the population have received a cave a jab in thailand and a mass vaccination campaign is not due to start until next month. and lockdown that was due to end last weekend has now been extended. phinney indonesia 2 tougher restrictions have been reimposed ahead of. roads were jammed and bus stations packed with travelers leaving jakarta for their hometowns before a domestic travel ban came into force. malaysians will also have to forgo family gatherings this eed as a new nationwide lockdown has been put in place social gatherings and travel have

been banned and shops remain closed seeing that there's a big spike in new variance i also understand. that you know if we don't honor celebrations this year then you know if it helps keep the virus at be that's ok with me. but certainly you regarding aid it's been almost 2 years since i've come back to my hometown to visit my mom and dad and that's really affecting me because that. that's a sentiment shared by many across the region that's having to choose between celebrations and safety correspondent david joins us now from kuala lumpur with more dave just last week the government said it was planning to stick but for instructions in targeted areas and today a nationwide lockdown has begun why the change. well just skyrocketing numbers of covert 19 cases you know positivity rate of about 5 percent

last week and intensive care unit beds and hospitals across the country are filling up we've got new variants and higher infection rates and there's just been a real concern that so much of the public you know have gotten lackadaisical about basic safety precautions such as wearing masks that's why they went forward with this decision and now you know most schools are closed no social gatherings interstate and in your district travel has been banned limits of 3 people to a car including the driver no dining at restaurants and that mosque the mosque that can accommodate a 1000 or more people are now limited to no more than 15 of a mosque and accommodate less than a valve and people it can have more than 20 people so tiger standards restrictions starting today across the country because through that they've across so many of the nations in southeast asia but experts also suggesting that increase rates of vaccinations potentially a way out of these new surges of money seeing in these nations where it is when

they show when it comes to vaccinations and testing it so as of may 8th malaysia had vaccinated just a fraction over 2 percent of its population of more than 32000002 percent and when you talk to help experts about this they say the real choke point for this has really been the supply that's the problem now in the laser is slowly making ground on that number but very slowly and that's obviously going to be said to stopping the spread of infections among his neighbors indonesia and thailand also seeing a surge in coronavirus cases dave is there concern that new video could potentially slip into when they see her. there's certainly concern now you need to break this up into 2 categories here people who are coming into the country legally and people are coming to the country illegally people are coming in legally you know obvious the most common way would be at the airport well they believe they can really catch those people here you have to take tests negative for covert $1000.00 within 72

hours of travel and then when you get here it's a mandatory 14 day quarantine and it's not a home quarantine it's a quarantine and a government approved hotel there are several tells most hotels set aside for this you got to stay in one of those and you'll get tested why are there so they feel confident they can catch anyone who's coming in with kovan 1000 that way but then the other question that comes up of course is what about people who slip in illegally you don't come through the proper immigration channels you know we've got lamb borders this country with thailand and indonesia they've certainly scaled up patrols to try and cut down for that but as the old cliche goes there's a will there's a way so people who are determined to get in from those countries could find a way to slip in they're going to be in kuala lumpur thank you very much for that update. afghan officials have confirmed that the taliban have seized new tenantry close to

the cup to kabul the capital of mid district comes ahead of a cease fire between the taliban and afghan forces the begins on thursday the taliban now controlled more of than at any time in the past 20 yeahs and b. what happened to get a firsthand view of life on the taliban rule. a rare glimpse of another world home visit with the taliban. welcome come on in. their interests and don't want to tell us their names but they are willing to tell us why the son recently decided to join the taliban. i did this for 2 reasons one i had no job and 2 i wanted to do something about our unjust and corrupt government so they're oppressing the people of this country. his father welcomes his decision he's proud his son is now on the taliban side.

this makes me happy because we are muslims and we should defend islam expect islamic state allows us to fight infidels we dedicate our lives to it we also want islamic sharia and taliban law to be implemented. many afghans are scared of the taliban's increasing power. ali khan is a truck driver he drives all across afghanistan and has to pay passage fees to the taliban on a regular basis just recently he paid the equivalent of $75.00 euros about a quarter of his monthly salary. yeah. the taliban are increasing in number and their power is growing and they set up checkpoints and force drivers to pay for safe passage the government can't stop them although the official checkpoints aren't very far away. jannot cool

a farmer has had a similar experience he makes his living growing and selling grain from his meager earnings he has to pay the taliban over $100.00 euros on a regular basis the taliban threaten to imprison or even kill him if he didn't pay up he's afraid of what will happen when foreign troops finally leave the country. i would prefer that the soldiers stayed international troops have kept peace here for the past 2 decades if they leave afghanistan the country will go to pieces. the taliban are already taking control of more and more places around the country and they make no secret of their ultimate goal. we want an islamic state and an islamic government that provides law and order with foreign troops and all infidels must leave the country. nato troops have

announced they will withdraw from afghanistan by september at the latest after they're gone the taliban hopes to turn back the clock and return the country to where it was 20 years ago and joining me now for more is correspondent. in kabul you travel around the country quite a bit interacting with people do you find that many of them actually support the taliban and its aims of establishing an islamic emirate. even if there is support it's more out of necessity you know it has to do with how much has actually reached the people and how much violence they're subject to so if you have people who don't have access to healthcare we don't have access to jobs who don't have access to roads and schools and think never got a chance to hell because of where they live because of the conditions there and then at the same time you would drop strikes in your rates and you know these other very violent. forms of quote unquote counter terrorism then that will be

people essentially out of necessity towards the other side has also been criticised you spoken about in the past of being. something you spoke about a necessity of people having no other choice i'm wondering if this corruption plays did actually into the hands of the taliban. what ends up happening. once again i'm going to my speech you know on talking about even say or our driver's license or aren't to go to see a doctor in a government hospital you have to pay a bribe along you have to know somebody. and that really that you know again that that that drives the wedge between the people. right and farmers that divide and that's feeling that you know you can only get something simple something basic high paying

a bribe by knowing somebody somewhere and hearing all these reports of millions going getting ross and then you call places where there aren't proper roads where there are proper schools that proper clinics and hospitals where you know for someone to get to a hospital in some provinces can take them up to 14 hours or you know just to get from a district to a city so then all of the you know again it comes back to it's not even necessarily support for the 2. all of on it's just the necessity of you know if someone isn't providing something for you then you go likely to the people who say they can take arms against the people who are abusing you and who at the very least claim that they can protect you and seek retribution if for instance or say there's a night raid or a drone strike or an air strike your son or your daughter or your wife you know gets killed or goes disappearing. that's really how this car this recruitment works and how it increases over time i look if you're relieved of that for the time being

thank you so much for joining us thank you. i mean if you're there joining us from one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist is of course more stories from asia on our website. we leave you today with the images all the celebrations from across the region thanks for watching and see you tomorrow for. the fight against the corona virus pandemic. has the rate of infection been developing what does the latest research say. information and contacts the coronavirus update. on t w. i n g m m with

w at any time cutting any place using new zealand captain of the like a. song to sing along to see this to come from soup. for . interactive exercises. everything is online and interactive in german just like with the w. . the forced to choose it's the sense of smell most people believe they could live without. but losing it can be life altering scientists say covert attacks the cells that help communicate what we're smelling. we can lose our appetite or worse still the will to live sense of smell helps

define who we are. nice to have you along a study of 2 and a half 1000 patients who lost their sense of smell and taste showed 40 percent of them had completely regained it half a year later 2 percent reported no improvement whatsoever for belgian answer feel are pleasant sense such as her favorite per fumes smell or fall after she got infected with coated 19 a few months ago at 1st she could no longer smell anything then many smells were distorted one of the most common side effects of the virus she can only see this spring on her balcony. there is a tiny bit of something but i don't know the smell. that's frustrating and makes me a bit sad. show michelle my yard can understand very well how are the cards

feeling the frenchman lost his sense of smell due to an accident 5 years ago it's the smell of his children he misses most but mayor does not want to give up his passion for cooking. a bit of color is good we eat with our eyes after all a bit like the great chefs in france are doing it but it is the nose with its millions of factory cells did they find to tell you stuff this silent after his accident my i was angry because no one could help him even if an estimated 5 percent of the french population suffers from a distorted sense of smell but with time his anger gave way to an idea he founded a necessary action and developed off actually training incorporation we scientists with concentrated sense rose lemon coughs. the sense of

smell is a sense that is as important as other senses. many forget about it. most people only discover it once they've lost it or gone since the beginning of the pandemic thousands of affected people all over europe have been using his sense of smell training techniques belgian answer feel our count is also exercising her nose her doctor has seen for herself the penny patients are recovering thanks to the training for example because the a factory sells damaged by the virus renew themselves and this gives me hope but my motivation very soon and so does my hope because sometimes i'm just scared i keep asking myself if it will ever come back. even if things are getting better only slowly answer feel. is hoping these smell bottles will help her put on her perfume

again without upsetting her nose. let's look at the science surrounding this panel adult is an old factory scientist so badly just how quickly can people recover this sense of smell because the researchers i've spoken to say the shorty of covered suffers a massively in bad. you're correct in that they can be massively impaired during the acute verb form of the virus however fortunately most people do recover their ability just smell sometimes within days or weeks after the virus passes unfortunately a small portion of individuals seem to have a persistent loss of even the ones who are suffering from long. in some cases smell loss is the only symptom that they may have ever experienced from co that but yes some individuals with long cove it also do experience this persistence

no loss can go on beyond 6 months well and one of the consequences of that i mean i guess you just don't want to do if it doesn't taste good and there are lots of other things involved like relationships and depression it can really impact on your life can't it. it can be very distressing particularly for people who never thought that losing their sense of smell would have such a dramatic impact on their life eating is certainly the 1st thing that is affected and some people actually go into different ways some people stop eating because of the lack of enjoyment of food and some people overeat because they're looking for that satisfaction that they can no longer get from food flavor aside the loss of smell can also so sorry what are you going to say. loss of smell can also change your relationships with your environment and the people around you familiar

places and familiar people no longer seem quite the same when you cannot smell them so as scientists are any closer to agreeing on why this happens. and there are intriguing studies being published almost every week we know for example that the virus does attack certain types of cells that express the ace 2 receptor but it looks like the persistent loss of smell may be more associated with ongoing viral replication and inflammation in the nasal passages in the normal apathy ileum where all of the cells that support our sense of smell are located. what does a virus do this because it's basically giving itself away it's a clear sign you're about to become infectious and most people would quarantine themselves of course and prevent the virus from spreading. well actually that's

really interesting question because until it was made clear that sudden loss it smell was a cardinal symptom of sars tovey to infection most people really didn't understand what was going on with them if they experienced a fever for example or severe muscle aches or extreme coughing they might have isolated but many people who suddenly lost their sense of smell were not actually quarantining themselves until the message got out that this was indeed one of the best ways to know whether someone had been infected with the virus we also mentioned earlier in the show that the olfactory cells are able to renew themselves and regulate is that the same for everyone though. well in the normal human sense of smell yes the factory neurons regenerate throughout the lifespan unfortunately when there is just drop ssion by a virus that can lead to inflammation this can actually attack the system in

multiple ways it can produce inflammation as i said earlier and it can also attack the supporting cells that are involved in the regeneration process and some viruses also attack the olfactory neurons themselves and what's your take on smell training and its effectiveness. at the present time it's not training seems to be the best recommendation for people who have persistent smell loss following kovan infection it requires some persistence and compliance it doesn't work if you only do it casually but the evidence is that if you stick with the program which generally involves about 12 weeks of smelling for odorants twice a day and doing it very mindful late that approximately half of the people that have been in studies actually do regain their sense of smell and do so faster than

people who don't undertake small training so it's a lot of work but they're finally wanted in the long run you say. if you're depressed if your lifestyle has changed because you can no longer smell the people of the places the food you enjoy eating then it certainly is a worthwhile effort it has very little risk except for perhaps boredom and overall frustration in the early days but it has been shown to have efficacy in post-viral smell loss and so therefore it is one of the recommended treatments for to hear about adult and thanks for joining us today on this our pleasure my pleasure thank you. derek williams now he's got an interesting question about natural immunity. how long does not show immunity acquired from having the last. this is another question where

a little background comes in handy when you're infected by a pathogen for the 1st time your body forms what's called an immunological memory of it now experts say these kinds of memories are in some ways like neurological memories a few will stay with use throughout your life while others will disappear after just a few months when it comes to cupid 19 we still don't know exactly how long immunity and those who recovered will on average last but several studies including one from early february that's been cited a lot they indicate that in most people who caught the disease naturally acquired immunity seems to remain pretty robust for quite a while the study looked at a range of factors associated with an ongoing immune response in people who'd

recovered from coke at 19 and then found that in the overwhelming majority of them immune memory remained apparently strong at least 6 months after recovery many experts are now hopeful that that most people who had the disease could prove resistant to reinfection for at least a year and hopefully longer. that's good news though it's likely not the whole story with other coronaviruses immune memory tends to lapse over time which is why authorities also recommend that people who had covert 19 and recovered still get vaccinated at least once because vaccines provide a safe way to update and refresh immune memory and could patel. actually make you even more resistant to sars kovi 2 and for a longer period of time and then natural infection alone.

and 2 in the show we leave you with the top scientists who've taught bees to sniff out coated 19 researches gave them sugary water as a reward for identifying positive samples on the lake once they got used to the system they'd stick out their tongues automatically the results can be provided in just seconds. of course bees have a keen sense of smell let's hope they don't lose it from covert thanks for joining us on d.l. use covered 19 special. play
