i would have been surprised himself with what is possible to this man called really what moves back and also talk to people who followed her along the way admirers and critics alike now as the world's most powerful woman shaping her legacy joining us from echols last hour. these volunteers are stepping up to help india cope with its deadly 2nd wave business group is building an online database mapping available medical resources across the country. it's a 247 operation volunteers need to constantly verify the availability of hospital beds oxygen tanks and medicine on their phones. we are trying to do as many people as he possibly can so that we need all the.

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. when they don't know better than a day during this pandemic the relatives of these victims abandon. the organization

collect these remains from all the crematoriums and perform for the last rites for the victims so that they can achieve salvation if you. volunteer is estimate that 80 percent of the 121-2000 unclaimed remains were victims of carbon 19. different than biology is a consulting euro psychiatry's and 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 the thing we're all pretty aware that india is really going to adopt i am always the 2nd to be able to make. 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 on frontline i allot of michael leads we have

been struggling to keep up on the reins in health care demand it stop it stop we're all of course and we just hope that things don't get better so that i was reading over 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 out 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 deep passes by of the last few weeks that not not one of us have been affected a bit 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. experience what's the government learning out of this because its strategy hasn't worked until now is a changing its strategy. yeah i think see as i mentioned all of us are learning here and it's been unprecedented for all of us in fact the government it's made by us as well and i think they're also in a in a tough situation they have tried certain things which hurt me hasn't worked at well but then there has been a recent change in a strategy mainly a 3 pronged strategy one containing the infection of some measures of lockdown in fact i'm speaking to your from bangalore from cannot occur where we have peace in a lockdown to report menace of states and going locked on to corrupt infection or trying to alarm and force corporate appropriate behavior of social distancing and

respiratory hygiene at the same time are building up on the health care infrastructure to hold on to the reason demand and most importantly now that we have started a vaccination drive the corbett $1000.00 backs in communication strategy is in place and we are trying to make maximum availability and coverage of the vaccine i think the government is trying for that. just explain to me what 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 personal perspective as a frontline health worker and i think there are different our public health agencies national health agencies are also proposed to the government to the prime minister you know has different different strategies that work best specially in terms of the corporate 1000 back submission and ensuring that there is health equip

t. and equality in health care access and specially looking to the sea 50 of the frontline health workers because there will be the main backbone and force for this ongoing battle health. fascination campaign. yes so as of 11 made the data that you know i was going through. for 9.9 percent of indians i 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 either call that scene or call the sheaves and you know i think in terms of person theaters 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 the the major challenges that undergoing not specially backs and i will ability i thought 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 or 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 are under privileged they're facing innumerable challenges in general relation to the corporate and that includes vaccination b.b.s.'s well especially you know the misinformation has been huge and immense and there are a number of banks who bets 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 all that 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 banking vaccine our countering vaccine hesitancy and showing corbet appropriate behaviors and also dealing with the vaccine even if 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 and balk at the communication and social model is ation strategy should wait. just finally can you offer indians any sort of hard. 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 seeds of your hope collective you hope 'd 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 thanks. that important question now from a viewer about vaccines for our science correspondent eric williams. how long with 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 vaccines 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 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 respond 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 the man's growing business could recover this summer as more countries follow suit several

hong kong had arrested more than 10000 protesters pepper's best friend was one of them sentenced to 10 years in prison a high price to pay for her convictions. for high political the protagonists in our film realize that they have to be able to deal with fear is fear can also be a driving force it invites a bit all 3 are afraid of their future because they're threatened by states like china. they know that they can use that fear and turn it into engler and into courage that gets them onto the streets and motivates the people around them. in uganda 22 year old hilda is standing up in the fight against pollution and climate change her country called the pearl of africa is now facing alternating droughts and torrential rains the last storm cost hilda's family and thousands of

a concept from jamaica they've set about bringing germany's famous club sounds out from behind locked doors with no loss of quality. this is real and ok start a new york it's like an orchestra it's an orchestra has to play together and hear each individual speaker has to dialogue with the others and joke and give them they can only create the right sounds together in his own thoughts to. since the pandemic hit club manager benyamin order has used his time off to build this giant mobile sound system. collapses on through the years a good track for a sound system it's by i'm super target from rio produced by d.j. more aboard ship from digit. brutal sounds made for big speakers rich bass and rap.
