i lost my job and when i tried to get a new one recently they told me in private that their security service wouldn't let them hire me we have already had problems with work. off my job and when i tried to get a new one recently they told me in private that their security service wouldn't let them hire me we have already had problems with work. well you know they really start tightening the screws and i see that they're making a show of putting former employees activists and volunteers of the not only offices in jail of course i will think about how i may have to lay low somewhere for a while. but. even people outside of actual team have been facing increasingly serious consequences for protesting against the government earlier this year thousands were detained during demonstrations in support of me and there have been several reports of employers firing people for backing the politician since the recent protests in support of. kremlin critics across russia have been under increasing pressure and

that pressure is unlikely to let up ahead of parliamentary elections in september including for the activists here. but i'm very proud is unrelentingly optimistic the 31 year old wants to keep pushing for a more democratic russia and he says he's willing to take personal risks to further strengthen the role of civil society in his home city and the whole to their region . similar them cut. the example of alexian of ali who came back to russia knowing that he would almost definitely be arrested strengthens my sense that sometimes you have to pay a personal price in order for you and your country to have a bright future so you have. to be very serious that only. now and that he wants to register as a candidate for the regional parliament in the upcoming elections he hopes his

association with now by nice team won't get him barred from running. and there was only sure when reporting we can talk now to emily end of the proceedings as you've reported are now stored with the next a hearing is scheduled for early june what can we expect from this trial. well the pretty proceedings are taking place against 3 organizations that are associated with opposition politician aleksey now viney including his anti corruption foundation and also that network of local offices that we just heard from in that report proceedings are going to be taking place behind closed doors so the public won't be kind of witnessing what's really happening and we don't know of course what the outcome will be but it does seem from the signals that we've been getting in the past few weeks that the writing is almost on the wall there for those organizations for example when it comes to the network of offices the state

prosecutor's office is you know the initiator of these proceedings these extremism proceedings they've already stopped the work of those offices in anticipation of the trial these offices have already been added to a list of extremist organizations again ahead of the trial and ahead of that decision from the trial from the court rather and one of these allies has said that they have no illusions that this is the authorities attempt to dismantle their structure and lay it out for a supply and what would it mean if midst of all these supporters are labeled extremists. well it would essentially mean that his. organizations are equated with a terrorist organization or a neo nazi group that would mean that organizers in the group or activists

associated with the group could face up to 10 years in prison their symbolism would essentially be deemed to be extremist as well and we don't actually know of course what that will mean even for former activists it could mean that they could be jailed just for their association with with these groups it also could mean that even someone who posted let's say a video an investigation by the anti corruption fund these anti-corruption fund you know a few years ago that that could be really enough for people to get fines or even 15 days in jail so really the authorities there upping the pressure on any kremlin critics in the last few weeks and especially anyone associated with me and we sure are reporting from moscow russia thank you and some more headlines for you now from around the world south africa's former president jacob zuma is in courts for the start of a trial in

a bribery case dating back 20 years the case has been postponed numerous times over the years mr zuma is facing 16 charges of fraud graft and record. the weather phenomenon has brought heavy rains to brazil's amazon region families have been forced to use canoes to get around and there they're lining up for aid on these floods could become the worst in the century affecting hundreds of thousands of people. advocacy groups say more than half of l.g.b. t. students here in europe have been bullied because of their sexual orientation they are also warned that progress on l g b t rights has come to a standstill because of the rise of far right parties in europe and the discrimination faced by people in other parts of the world is even worse on the international day against homophobia we look at the situation of young transgender

a prostitute but it's very dangerous you can catch s c d's and die or someone could kill you. for kenya quit of us lisa stories all too familiar she also used to work as a prostitute one of the only jobs trans women can get in mexico the turning point came in 2016 when a friend was murdered. on tape but the perpetrator still walked free since that day kenya's made it her mission to fight for women and against violence. yeah i get it done that i've been screaming from the top of my lungs about the violence against transfer people in this country but no one's listening. there's no inclusion only discrimination. he adds. the pentagon has only made things worse when the government shut no tell motels many trans women were left out on the

street. but you getting in this fortunately i already had this place yes i open it up to the other women and to kether who decorated it we've also used it to make food for the homeless women. donations keep the shelter running it's located in one of the more diverse and tall in parts of mexico city but the threat of violence always looms large last year 57 trance people were killed here the 2nd highest rate in the world going to you know they love them most men in mexico feel their masculinity is threatened when they come into contact with gay or trance people. they see it says aggressors something that's not normal. but i'm not alone. because of the most money because many feel seen for what they are people with goals and dreams surrounded by friends. oh yes this is

i always say that our happiness is our greatest revenge but what i truly want is not provided it's a world free of violence that's free of labels thanks sepsis despite our differences as human beings that was when it comes to dismantle so you know commit to get this for now it's a dream that feels a world away but think success of the last minute because there's finally hope on the horizon. for obama's now for you the german football federation is officially looking for a new president after its color and it is make its resignation rather on monday the 64 year old spent less than 2 years in the top job and leaves the world after comparing a colleague to an infamous nazi era judge i was supposed to be the man to rebuild trust in the federation after several scandals but that will be now up to his successor. add in the want to see brisket or renew that a win over mine sweat so we've them into the champions league next season instead

after months of success in preventing infections we ask what led to the latest outbreak plus we take a look at how germany and other countries are helping in the battle it's coronavirus parts of. those stories and a whole lot more coming up in just a moment with d.w. news a ship with your restaurant where lochinvar land on behalf of all of us here thank you very much for spending this part of the day with the world headlines just the top of the hour.

today. in 60 minutes w. . little guys this is the 77 percent stuff out form for africa suits of issues. you know hard to sort out we're not afraid to touch on delicate topic. and young people clearly have the solution to. this 77 percent. on. this code. of touch and species.

expected. looking to decipher the secret language of flails must be exciting part of the underwater listening experience killing a window into their life the human numbers you never see. play a company a research team to the pacific to. the language of males stores june 4th on g.w. . this is due to other newspapers sure coming up today taiwan's been hailed as a corona but a success story but a new outbreak is putting the repetition after just. 333 new cases in one day and forced the government to impose lock on like conditions across the island what's causing the sudden spike and what of the government's. plans to. a 2nd wave

of infections to hit its peak. is providing some relief to and overstretched health care system. could join us for the 1st time since the coronavirus pandemic hit taiwan the island has imposed its toughest instructions to counter a sudden surge in divest of cases on monday alone the island reported $333.00 new cases taiwan's being held up as a coronavirus success story only 12 people have died and over 2000 infections have been recorded since last year the government has now ordered the closure of old schools in the capital for 2 weeks shot detainment venues and limited contacts indoors and outdoors between people. empty chairs that empty

tables scenes so commonplace around the world these days of being seen in taiwan for the 1st time since the pandemic began as the island grapples with a sudden spike in infections in taipei the epicenter of the outbreak masks and now mandatory outdoors in many shops and venues will be closed for at least 2 weeks one step behind a total lockdown all foreign arrivals have now also been banned. from midnight may 19 known taiwanese without residents a difficult will be suspended from entering taiwan. will also suspend travelers to transfer in taiwan. if it was the quick implementation of a travel ban in the initial stages of the pandemic that's thought to have been key to the island's relative corona success but it disinfection drive is also under way in new taipei city or authorities throwing everything they can to try to stop the

virus spreading this outbreak linked to a quarantine facility for airline staff has prompted an uptick in testing and has residents on high alert waiting go pick up a weapon i wasn't too concerned before but now i worry whenever i go out i'll wear my face mask i'm more safety conscious now. taiwan's president has called for calm and urged people not to panic buy but that didn't stop many anxious shoppers rushing to stockpile over the weekend there's a whole story stories otieno mail. queuing at the entrance as a part of me as we went around the whole story. the government response has so far been timely and measured something the island's residents will be hoping leads the way out of the current emergency. and joining me for more from tarp is debris correspondent william going with why this sudden spartan cases. so experts believe taiwan 1st relax its quarantine

regulations for all the airline staff since last month and they shortened the time to 3 days and then a few weeks after that there began to have a cluster inspection case at the hotel that they usually get a quarantine and then turned out that the hotel basically had been mixing regular visitors with the quarantined airline staff and so just from there like a few weeks later since last week oh we started hearing a local cases popping up in several different parts of taiwan but all these cluster cases are now being confirmed all the virus are from the u.k. variant which means that it is passing him on a local people here in taiwan asters and the old koran the virus when it 1st entered into taiwan last year and sold that is now a big challenge for the government which is to identify the sources of these infections and try to remind people to stay home and not to go in to see if it dies

down in a few weeks or you. saw this in our report the government has introduced tough new measures to curb the rise in cases how are people reacting to these measures. so people were very very concerned about the rising numbers and so they immediately mobilize themselves to go to the supermarkets to stock up the food and the necessity and all the supplies and the streets of taipei the shopping centers and all the business districts have been relatively and surprisingly empty since of the weekend and today is the 1st day thousands of people have to go back to work and state went to the 3 digit on a single day and we are still seeing the streets being relatively empty and a lot of the businesses are now turning into working remotely or. vaccinating citizens. so so far the numbers are very very low

taiwan only has already vaccinated about one percent of its population and it is also struggling with these a vaccine supplies because right now the only vaccine that taiwan can offer to a citizen is the astra zeneca vaccine and because of some of the reports about the prayer blocks flooding in other side effects of the population here was not really willing to accept the vaccinations which is why of the vaccination rate it's not really up to speed and that seems kind of the subsequent vaccine suppliers are also not sure when they won't arrive so taiwan my space a very difficult time when they have to ensure that the variant does not continue to transplant along the local population and at the same time to make sure that they can continue to raise the vaccination rate among its population we're hearing your entire theory thank you very much for that thank you. and india has seen a further decline in over 1000 infections with more than 281000 cases reported on monday but the daily death toll remains above 4000 and weeks into its 2nd week of

the country in students in crisis mode india's high nashton positivity rates at around 20 percent of tests conducted signals that could be worse to come international medical aid has arrived to help ease shortages. met up with the german team when they hit the ground with a new oxygen plant. dutch town in delhi on a hot sultry evening this military transport plane is bringing a precious cargo to a country struggling to cope with a deadly 2nd wave of the coronavirus it is a medical oxygen generation plant sent by germany being unloaded with care it's part of an international aid effort to bring relief the city of delhi has gone through a harrowing time people have seen them loved ones literally gasping for breath and often supplies ran out i ne attempt to boost oxygen supplies here is hugely about.

by nightfall the plant is taken to a provisional field hospital set up not far from the airport. 13 members of the german bund despair medical corps came with this oxygen generation plant to india. which by beech the machinery's assembled german precision engine and genuity within a few short days the generator is ready for use its capacity is large for a city which has faced a desperate oxygen emergency i think it's important to help them young people in general the supply system is able to provide 400000 liters per day and it takes the surrounding air and furthers the oxygen out and this oxygen can be filled up into normal oxygen cylinders starting for 5 up to 50 liters indian staff are receiving technical training on how to operate the system once the german team leaves as of

today scientists from the defense research development organization and now fully responsible for running the plant. this sudden sandstorm was not planned but everyone here is aware of the importance of this project. definitely of when we're going or what we call are going to remember in this particular problem and. repent of good judgment gomer good never started the ball go didn't respond brought on the word for a familiar cloven or where the lord didn't plan. or discipline it will reduce a little bit. of. the oxygen is pumped into cylinders sealed and tested and then sent to wards in the field hospital west and 1000 covert patients being treated 10000 liters can be filled in less than half an hour time is of the essence as the german team prepared to leave india was its mission

accomplished its absolutely mission accomplished and it was a great honor to be here to help people here in india was just providing oxygen due to the fact that from our perspective every little counts here and those who faced india's heartbreaking oxygen shortage can only agree they know every breath counts. next for u.s. and nato troops heading for the exits after 2 decades in the country to make that deadline of september the 11th military units up packing up bases around the country the stuff that u.s. personnel are leaving behind and not handed over to the afghan military is being sold as scrap to local scrap because troops up purposefully dismantling tons of gifts that there could otherwise fall into the hands of militants.

market day in bodrum district afghanistan and among the offerings bits of military vehicles sliced up tents broken down tank tracks and shards of generators sold to scrap dealers for resale to the locals a potential treasure trove of once shiny and well maintained gear reduced to scrap . the trash the stuff why do they come to afghanistan. they came here to rebuild afghanistan but now they're leaving they leave behind all this crap in afghanistan. inside the perimeter of nearby bob graham airfield 90 minutes north of kabul the americans are taking apart their portion of the base as that other facilities some of what they're leaving behind is going to the afghan military. the rest is sold as non-working junk to ensure the taliban can't use it. for

a few days ago there was a big explosion outside the airport. and we later found out the americans were destroying the equipment that. if that equipment belongs to the military they should give it to the afghan government and if it's for civilians on the base they should give it to us but not destroy it now any scrap from there to be sold in the market as much. less good. they should leave we don't have good memories of them the memories and benefits we have from them are destruction like they've destroyed this vehicle they've destroyed us to. like scrapyard owner bob amir many afghans are frustrated angry and feeling abandoned to a government regarded as corrupt. they fear a new phase of civil war money if you bomb the others obviously the americans don't trust afghans and they don't want us to use this stuff and make progress what they're doing is betrayal of afghans. the u.s. is actually added troops in afghanistan recently to help pack up the major bases

here and the equipment that is not being destroyed for scrap. wrapping up 20 years of war leaving behind an uncertain future and tons of junk. that's of the day there's of course other stories on did. you can check us out on our social media pages as well. of the same time the for. the coronavirus pandemic. has the rate of infection been developing what does the latest research say. information and context the coronavirus update. on t w. w's crime fighters are back africa's most successful

radio drama series continues this season the stories focus on hate speech color of the engine and sustainable charcoal production. all of a sow's are available online and of course you can share and discuss on africa's facebook page and other social media platforms. crime fighters to now. get. some covert 900 patients a developing a rare but dangerous infection dubbed black fungus you call my cosas. typically stunning in the ways it spreads through the body affecting the sinuses old lungs bones and body tissue the fungus can also attack the eyes and brain. if left

untreated it can be fatal. and been fizzle a nice to have you along it's important to note that black fungus is extremely rare in india it only affects around $100000.00 people a year according to one study that's less than one percent of the population. but now because spittles are reportedly diagnosing it in patients every 2nd day in this ongoing 2nd wave of patients are especially at risk because their immune system is weakened and that may be contributing to the rising cases of black fungus you need . all of a queerly is from the european excellent center for invasive fungal infections in cologne 1st of all what the symptoms of a fungus infection well the symptoms of cosas that infection is unspecific runny nose fever but then it might turn into specific signs and it. gets in the crowd like an acrostic skin will look black that is why it's

actually cold fungal disease it's not really the funniest it's a different class of fungi but it looks black on the skin if you explain what actually happens to a patient what they go through what they experience well best fungus all those who really are destroying tissue imagine that there is a science it is caused by the fungus that doesn't stop there but it actually moves into the boom and it might destroy bone and then move into the next neighboring organs and tissues and it could be the high for patients are reported to me and sat well i woke up in the morning and couldn't see anything on this one i was actually not painful because it destroys nerves is. ok it's not painful but the consequences a severe i mean can you can you treat it and can you treat it soon enough to

prevent something like that happening. well if you feel it you can treat it by it's difficult to get the right point to exactly understand what's happening because the symptoms are specific you could treat it with either surgery or with antifungals the antibiotics directly directed against fungi or you combine both but you need to be really really fast at all of it tell me why it's such a problem in india right now. i guess there are several reasons why that is one respect before you come across as which is a well known respect or is diabetes and specifically uncontrolled diabetes means that you have very high levels of blood sure glucose at your blood. that triggers the invasion of the tissues of the of the phones. in india and the region

of message number of patients with diabetes who are at risk or mentally even without her own home. another reason i say is the exposure to the fungus the fungus lives its soil decay material. you'll will be more exposed to soil in the rule area of india then you are for example in the area and journey with climate is completely different. another reason. that i envision. for my police in india and other countries is that they use steroids for example to cope with 19 under control and haitian steroids increase a lot of sugar they mimic

a diabetic situation. that the pounds will take advantage of so all of us should people be wired in other parts of the world where coronavirus case numbers are also high in other parts of the world the real problem is not that large as we see it in southeast asia india. the reason might be that fungal infections are not that frequent in other regions north america europe for example south america has a different pattern of fungi and you can buy cosas has so far only been diagnosed in a tiny minority of patients we don't know all of africa actually the australian will be very similar to of the old with a lower number of new or so it's different regions of the planet have different

fungal infections. and all of it just lastly this was something i'd never even heard of before the show is that something that makes your work difficult to i mean of getting the funding to research. something that's quite fascinating it's something that's not frequent but. something like that. yeah that's true it's infrequent and for these. infections there's almost there is almost no way to get funded so it's heavily underfunded and that's one reason why we only you know basically 3 drugs that we can use against these fungi which is wait a while a number that's too little and it's toxic drugs quite some of them ok we'll have to leave it there thanks for your time today all of a can easily and the european excellent center for invasive fungal infections.

thank you very much. time to as a more of your questions now over to our science correspondent eric williams. why aren't injected vaccines manufactured as a single unit instead of having the vaccine in the syringe separate this is a great question one that i've never really actually considered before right now most vaccine manufacturers are are filling and shipping multi-dose vials of vaccine that contain between $5.15 doses on site at the vaccination center or at the doctor's office staff then have to painstakingly draw them into syringes in a complex time consuming series of steps where we're a lot could actually go wrong due to human error and and there are a lot of other issues with the vial system not least that once the seal on one has

been broken all of the doses in the bio have to be used quickly leftovers can't just be stuck back in the fridge for use later so so since everyone is getting their own syringe anyway why aren't machines just pretty filling them directly as a single unit instead of putting large batches of doses in vials 1st prefilled single shot syringes are already the norm in some parts of the world for vaccinations against other pathogens but that there appear to be 2 primary reasons why the older vial system has been the method of choice so far for the mass 19 vaccine rollout the 1st is speed with manufacturers churning out hundreds of millions of doses it's simply faster for them to squirt 10 of the time into a single vial that it is to fill 10. separate syringes with the pandemic in full

swing getting as much vaccine as possible out there has been vital and the 2nd factor is cost until now single dose prefilled syringes have been more expensive to produce but but many manufacturers say that's changing and that that pre-filing syringes is actually more efficient because then you don't need millions of medical grade glass vials so so when demand for 1000 vaccines begins to slow i think that you can expect prefilled syringes to grow in popularity because they have so many advantages. the u.s. centers for disease control is no longer recommending face masks for fully vaccinated people but the c.d.c. says mosques are still recommended in crowded settings like buses planes and

hospitals and anyone who isn't fully vaccinated will still have to wear one over half the u.s. population has received at least one dose against the current buyers. dancing is often about intimacy getting close and connecting foreign concepts in times like these but not impossible as these creative guys explain whether online or in the open it. at the earliest each morning downs of home overall and everything. in the world but since the summer of 2020 there's been a meeting at the former temple hold airfield a huge public park not far from the center of berlin. knights are big field. they can be a lot of people and we can feel. safe to play with math which retail felt here today which is really beautiful there is really kind of

a connection well no. there's a neutral connection. it was here the 1st moment of court on either but he didn't know all about what school is going on so we were complying you know what place is that and useless really. that would be me sad to stay clear with my mind and redox to save the. euro land based choreographer alvin called came up with the idea for the on line down sessions be coals a duel so pleasure. who's been staying with his family in canada also down since along with the participants from around the world. and are streamed online so anyone from anywhere can join in. the about their their own journey and then because we tap into their research

together we tap into the music together we create the community so this is what i really enjoy is that we're all taking ownership of where we are and then we need to gather with the music and the guy that. what they're hearing in a berlin park elsewhere in the world they are down together. i want to know where alpha got less shorts thanks for watching.
