keeping hong kong democratic alive. that's the location for a pro-democracy magazine. different. political future under. the people forced into. reality in the taliban stronghold.

i'm very. glad you could join us we begin in taiwan which has become the new home for thousands of hong kong political persecution at home according to government figures more than 10000 residents permits were issued to people from hong kong last year alone many of them escaping beijing's crackdown the democratic freedom that taiwan provides has also allowed dissidents to do what is now unthinkable in their former home publish their democratic views and ideas. printing in progress this is the 2nd issue of flow ha a quarterly magazine launched by home called activists only have this year as a forum for hong kong issues but it can't be published in hong kong and the beijing strip konya national security is all so everything a stand in democratic taiwan. has been very supportive of it and we've mentioned

hong kong the civil societies of the 2 places are deeply connected we've received a lot of help from taiwanese design is printers engineers and scholars without their support we would not have been able to get the logistics done at the very young is a quarter of the power on these activists shall mean yes and it's the only non home color on the editorial board he coordinates the layout and printing along with hong kong and his sinus in taipei by participating the designers can never return to hong kong but they feel obliged to pay the price. it's so ironic that we can talk about hong kong in hong kong right now as a hong konger living abroad it's my duty to make good use of the freedom of expression that my fellow people no longer have and speak out for them.

in chinese the magazine is called to be watered down as a last of the inspired by martial arts legend bruce lee and adopted by hong kong protesters to be flexible and formless in the face of beijing's crackdown on the pro-democracy movement in trenton 19. members of the editorial board are all outside hong kong including well known campaigner in exile sunny turn he says the publication is a concrete connection with his homeland and then us home in the struggle for democracy. it's an act of resistance to tell the regime that we will never give up . although you standards from printing political thoughts. we will still find when you see to do that. we will keep doing that and we will make sure that hong kong is never die. when the magazine was launched in january probating media names the group as troublemakers for publishing hong kong independent spokes

due to security concerns hong kong readers can only get the electronic version well hard copies are so didn't want bookstores and to overseas subscribers. under the national security law we must expand our definition of hong kong way if hong kong only belongs to hong kong it would die very soon as beijing tightens its control over the city so hong kong must be no not in need to hong kong but also to the global community so i mean we should nourish hong kong in places where there is freedom and hopefully return our strength to hong kong. as thousands of hong kong is freed our island flowage k. is working hard to keep the spirit of community wherever the home is. joining ours hong kong activist edited in true for flowage k. sunny sunny welcome what exactly does flo h.k. print. actually. difficulties cause and they have had no

longer discuss call it was to quote me the moment to discuss street of any democracy. what you have. by. what are you hoping to achieve with the publication of floyd. it is in hong kong and this is if you're already trying to implement and introduce something i've been washing education is not too much of a induction it's our next generation and we do not want that our extended vision forgets about all his she forgets all about our identity and our seem of fighting for liberty and democracy and that's why we oversee all of us we hold call was to maintain and want to spread this summit is our history and narratives over see by

perspective as you talk about there are people like yourself who are living overseas and i want to ask you about that i mean most of the pro-democracy meters in hong kong are either in prison or freezing druggers are therefore wonder if the hong kong pro-democracy movement of this century become a movement in exile now. for example actually myself i also excel because i a currency in charge. of quality to the nationalists of the north and being wanted by the courts and that's why of course i have to flee from home call and i have to maintain the momentum and i have the duty at the patients to tell the whole whole the story of the seat otherwise because may a script mention many friends of mine many out at if they stay already in prison if there is no one outside to talk about homeless stoli to talk about i'll chip off

democracy out this ship will be forgotten and this is something else if you want but we do not. have a mouthpiece so what impact do you think girl is to delhi republic actions such as yours when hong kong's pro-democracy movement went from everything that you are saying it appears to be a movement in exile. i think yeah. the movement now days has become a part of the baltic style but don't look at that actually guess still some commas of freedom loving all of us on the koran and hired to do what i said they can no matter how shit feel and minimal get it this is is the want to stay in all and to fight to that last breath and all the seahawk all this we all want to disseminate our ideologies and political thoughts and also we want to start a local movement at all and all about is uphold this kind of spirit hold important

news taiwan to hong kong's pro-democracy movement of actually i'm not in taiwan right now that i do think that a lot has a very significant role to help spread out and disseminate whole hopeless ideologies because i want is also at the front sight to see if the interference and for example our magazine has to seek out from the publisher in taiwan in order to successfully have the hockey and that's why of course as many homeless gradually go to taiwan and taiwan also face severe threats on the seas he had this will be a very significant strategic role in east asia so i mean one last question to you you can essentially never go back to your home in hong kong how does that make you feel. personally i feel it is really difficult for me to a sap that starts that i may be. i can never go back to hong kong

and i am really home safe i miss everything in hong kong i miss my friends who are you christen it all i do not know when i can be stan again for example just how long and then i have no idea when i can beat him again and then that's why i think i have too many hostile have to turn this kind of feelings into something very much meaningful we have to create momentum and energy for ourself to air power south we have to take ashes to reclaim all caught and that's why many overseas all hopeless we would have to give up who shall what ever it is helpful and meaningful to the temple call what the sun is your own thank you so much for your time and.

a group of people are not rest pakistan have been left nor passion but to live in caves to escape fighting between the government and the taliban residents in the tribal south waziristan district bordering afghanistan have had to live with the fallout of the pakistan army use security operations against the pakistani taliban and these have been ongoing for more than 6 years now forcing some into the caves in this rugged part of the country. they live here not through choice but out of necessity in the mountains on the border with afghanistan militant groups rat see if the caves provided to agree of safety if not comfort in the next group these caves were once empty in full of dust we cleared them after the security situation changed the times when it was peaceful and not coming back there was peace and freedom and everything was ok there were no problems right now we're just killing time. just a little to. pakistan's military has been fighting back against the militants

linked to pakistan's taliban the offensive which began in 2014 forced many to flee their homes and into poverty for many caves with the only option. we have no source of income fathers and grandfathers also live this life they used to live this way. we have to because we have nowhere else to live. poor man he's sick but no one is here to take care of him. this person is unique i have a burning sensation in my hands and feet it's itching i can't touch them. because his hands are showing them your fingers. but as the weather does that. more of the caves contain a mosque allowing the locals to worship. one. of

these caves in the mosque a 3 to 5 centuries old. this place is known as round the pile and this is called the round the power mosque but there isn't much. in the caves office sun sank treats of their residence but as long as the security situation in the region remains tense these caves will remain home. and that's it for today you can always check us out on. and on social media as well we leave you today with celebrations of that continual across the region we're back tomorrow at the same time and so you them by.

the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. has the rate of infection been developing what does the latest research. information and contact the coronavirus update coming. on t.w. . mori to the planet. i'm neal coastal on the greens. and to me it's clear remains. the

solutions are out there. join me for a deep dive into the green transformation for me. for the concert. with the co. these volunteers are stepping up to help india cope with its deadly 2nd wave this group is building an online database mapping available medical resources across the country. 247 operation volunteers need to constantly verify the availability of hospital beds oxygen tanks and medicine on their phones. we are trying to reach as many people as he possibly can that we need. many people even the

youngest are trying to chip in how and wherever they can. it's inspiring to see someone so young getting involved it gives hope during such a dark chapter in india's history and it's getting darker a dozen big indian opposition parties are calling on prime minister interim modi to take immediate measures against the ferocious 2nd wave which is leaving hundreds of thousands dead. the fires are burning outside this new delhi crematorium has run out of space because of the recent spike in the number of people dying but that isn't the only problem many remains of the dead are unclaimed after cremation and their 2 volunteers are stepping in. or in good organisation do during this pandemic the relatives of these victims abandoned the organization collect these remains from all the crematoriums and

perform the last rites for the victims so that they can achieve salvation if you. the volunteers estimate that 80 percent of the 121-2000 unclaimed remains were victims of carbon 19. different than biology is a consulting neuro psychiatry joins us from bangalore you've just finished another hard day's work tell us what it's like describe for us the situation there where you were in india. yeah thanks for having me on the show today. you know you think we're all pretty aware that india is really going to adopt i am always the 2nd to be in both pandemic. number of cases of crossed. cross and every day we're getting news of people affected losing a lost many of our loved ones being armed frontline i lot of my colleagues my so we

have been struggling to keep up on the reasons in health care demand it stop it stop we're all applause and we just hope that things don't get better so given that i was reading over 4000 indians died from covert for the 2nd day in a row on thursday what's it like for you personally. i think we're all being a collector to buy this you know it's it's a kind of grieved that it's unprecedented that none of us were really prepared for and is the 2nd to be it was far more or you know dangerous than the past one and probably we're yet to understand the long term impact that it's having but you know it's very strange that not even one day passes by over the last few weeks that not not one of us have been affected with a sad news somebody hospitalized someone died and you know all of us have been affected in many ways more than one personally i think it's really

a time that i don't want anyone else to peace but it's i'm sure it's also learning for all of us were working at the frontline you say alone ng experience what's the government learning out of this because its strategy hasn't worked until now is it changing its strategy. yeah i think the as i mentioned all of us learning here and it's been unprecedented for all of us inside the government made by us as well and i think they're also in the in a tough situation they have tried certain things which probably hasn't walked that well but then there has been a recent change in the strategy mainly a 3 pronged strategy one containing the infection a true measure of lockdown in fact i'm speaking to you from bangalore from connecticut where we are facing a lockdown to report many to states undergoing the lockdown to curb the infection are trying to impose cope with appropriate behavior of social distancing and

respiratory hygiene at the same time are building up on the health care infrastructure to hold onto the reason demand and most importantly now that we have started up back to nation drive the call that 19 back in communication strategy is in place and we're trying to make our maximum available if he and coverage of the vaccine i think the government is trying for that. just explain to people what sort of a prime minister needs to be urged from a coalition of opposition parties to act to save his own country that's the news i was reading today. yeah i heard the news too i think what i can tell you ben is from my own person perspective as a frontline health worker and i think there are different public health agencies national health agencies i've also proposed to the governments to the prime minister you know at different different strategies that work best specially in

terms of the coal that 19 back to the nation and ensuring that there is help quickly and equality in health care access and specially looking to the safety of the frontline health workers because they will be the main backbone and work force you know for this on going back to how time and i have always liked vaccination campaigns. yes so as 04 and 11 made the theater that you know i was going through for 9.9 percent of indians so receive at least $1.00 of vaccination and a 2.7 per cent if i'm not wrong have been fully vaccinated that have their $52.00 of of the the core vaccine are called the sheet and you know i think in terms of person teachers it's looks better but then what you have to understand is that in a country like india which is very populous and has a lot of social cultural ethnic diversity it's getting vaccine you're ensuring

facts in distribution and countering vaccine hesitancy a prevent the the major challenges that undergoing not specially backs in our live lives we are taught centers well are rich and poor getting the vaccine are hindus and muslims getting access to the treatment they need. or i think the infection doesn't differentiate based on race culture ethnicity social economic status or region so we are treating everyone equal but of course you know certain areas certain pockets specially you know the homeless the migrants the social economical e. under privileged they're facing innumerable challenges in general release into the core of it and that includes vaccination b.b.s.'s well especially you lot of misinformation has been huge and immense and there are a number of anti backs campaigns going on and there's a lot of hearsay and probably the effect certain classes more than others who are in rule of us are not that well informed or in touch with the media how much more

can the country take how much more can indians hold out how much longer is this going to go on do you think. so i think the resilience sir has been immense in spite of all the odds not all of us i think it's a collective responsibility and all of us are in this together trying to fight it out just to inform to you don't i think the new strategy by the government involves 4 main important things in terms to fight it one is the information on the new corporate 1000 vaccine are countering vaccine hesitancy and showing quote with appropriate behaviors and also dealing with the vaccine because a lot of you know a lot of indians are also very eager to take the vaccine so i think the key lies in an integrated a book at the communication and social modernization in strategy should wait them and just finally can you offer indians any sort of. things so yes ben hope is something which as psychiatrists really deal with and the nation needs

whole positivity it's needed of course rational positivity and you know this is from all the challenges and real opportunity to strengthen our public health infrastructure saw the pandemic will eventually seize beyond hope collective you hope so and it will actually make a learn a lot of things for the future to prepare ourselves better for such futuristic places in the us fingers crossed thank you very much for being on the show great to get your updates thank you. spencer. it's an important question now from a viewer about vaccines for our science correspondent eric williams. how long will the vaccines of protection. we don't know yet and even when we do know more there won't be a single answer to this question since about

a dozen different vaccines are currently in use around the world and since they're made by different manufacturers and are based on a range of different platforms they almost certainly won't all protect people for the same periods of time on average what we can say is that the makers of some of the 1st vaccines to enter use widely last december are now reporting back that levels of antibodies have generally remained quite high in recipients which is an indicator that those people are still well protected 6 months after getting their shots those results have researchers hopeful that immune response at least that induced by those that scenes will last at least a year and possibly a lot longer but developers aren't leaving it to chance most have already started

modifying and testing the next generation of vaccines some of which specifically target variants of concern trials involving a 3rd booster shot with them are ongoing and don't forget. though there is no sign yet that vaccine induced protection is beginning to wane even if it does that won't happen overnight and even if immunity does start to drop faster than predicted health care authorities would notice it early and a lot of the experts i've read seem to be pretty confident that we'll be able to crisp on quickly. and here's a positive sign why turning a corner of portugal and seeing the surgeon summer holiday bookings up to the u.k. out of the country to its safe travel list british tourists returning from the country won't need to be quarantined portuguese hotel operators say demands growing business could print come of this summer as more countries follow suit several

european nations are hoping to see a resurgence in tourism as more people get vaccinated they use trying to coordinate plans to allow people to cross borders easily without lockdown restrictions. thanks for joining us again stay safe and she is from our.
