they had hoped for more security more freedom more dignity. have their hopes for final. 10 years and after the arab spring. arab allium starts june 7th on d w. in india some covert 900 patients are developing a rare but dangerous infection dubbed black fungus mukul my cosas. typically starting in the airways it spreads through the body affecting the sinuses old lungs then bones and body tissue the fungus can also attack the eyes and brain. if left untreated it can be fatal. i've been physical and 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 littles 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 weekends and that may be contributing to the rise in cases of black fungus in india . all of a cornelli is from the european excellent center for invasive fungal infections in cologne 1st of all what are the symptoms of a black fungus infection. well the symptoms of you who are cosas that infection is unspecific runny nose fever but then it might turn into a specific sign and this. gets in the crowd like an acrostic will look blech that is why it's actually cold of leg fungal disease it's not really like fungus it's a different class of fungi but it looks black on the skin to explain what actually

happens to a patient what they go through what they experience well beth on those all those who really are destroying tissue so imagine that there is a science itis caused by the fungus that doesn't stop there but it actually moves into the bone and it might destroy bone and then move into the next neighboring organs and tissues and it could be the high for patients report to me and sat well i woke up in the morning and couldn't see anything on this one i it's 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

but 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 follicles that's the end of all tics directives 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 this is one respect before you become a hostess which is a well known respect or is diabetes and specifically diabetes means that very high levels of blood sure that your blood. that triggers the invasion of the tissue of the phones. in india and the region you have of message number of patients with diabetes who are at risk or mentally even

without her own. another reason i say is the exposure to the fungus the fun those lives its soil d.k. material. you'll will be more exposed to soil in the rule area of the india that you are for example in the area and journey with climate is completely different than. another reason. that i envision. for my colleagues in india and other countries is that they use steroids bits of medicine for example to cope with 19 under control and haitian steroids increase the lot of sugar so 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 in these 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 like who says as so far only those in a tiny minority of patients we don't know on africa actually. trail be very similar to of the old with a lower number of your sil is 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 i mean getting

the funding to research is 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 in redmond infections there's only there's almost no way to get funding so it's heavily underfunded that's one reason why we only have 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 it can easily and the european excellence jennifer 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 syringe is is actually more efficient because then you don't need millions of medical grade class vials so so when demand for 1000 back seems 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

me a company a research team to the pacific to. a language of materials storage june 4th on g.w. . are you ready for some great news i'm pristine when glass on the i on the edge of my country you know with a brand new d.w. news africa this show that tackles the issues shaping the concert now with more time to off on an in-depth silcox all the time stuff must talk to you what's making the hittites and what's behind the way on the streets to give you in the force on the insides w. news in africa every friday on g.w. . with him had a big gun it goes on because we're lions if i had known that the boat would be about small i never would have gone on a trip to cuba i would not have put myself and my parents you know that danger to the bottom of the game of the davis league would. love one sunday because that one

it wouldn't give them i had serious problems on a personal level and i was unable to live their lives i'm going to. you want to know their story in full migrants terrified and reliable information for margaret's. coming up here on arts and culture with sea levels on the rise and architects designs schools homes and whole neighborhoods that float. and germany's 75 year old rock star who isn't calling it quits the legends of the limping back. just as soon as. but 1st the national arts and history museum of the netherlands the rights museum is opening its 1st ever exhibition on slavery the exhibition shows the dark side of the netherlands its

so-called golden age the period when dutch traders started transporting and slave to people from africa to the americas the show includes art and artifacts from that time as well as new animated films also looking at the brutality of slavery in the dutch colonies and south africa and asia this tuesday became of the netherlands willem alexander is opening the exhibition to school groups in amsterdam the show will also be available to visitors online. and my colleague d w reporter michael krueger is here to tell us more about this groundbreaking exhibition for the netherlands micah the netherlands had centuries of history of exploiting slavery on several continents how do you tell that story even begin to tell that story with one exhibition well that's of course nearly impossible so they focus on

examples and give us 10 different biographies to make the injustice k.m. on the stand the bull what happens if a human being becomes an object which can be sold and without any rights and any hope of freedom but the exhibition not only tells the stories of the inflation people and he made a movie it's also takes a look at those who benefited from slavery in the lot for example martine stillman's the owner of the sugar refinery and we know his family today because they were painted by them beyond one of the greatest artists of all time so 1st time in the history of the museum they take a look at the outrages and examine them for their connections to slavery and there are also several artifacts i believe $100.00 over $100.00 objects including ankle shackles here we've got a clip with a volley can smolder sees the head of. the history department at the rights museum and danged we hope to be soon before how the ties in the collection front of me james. persona clothes came from some may need for out there to.

shooting now and that he had to pad out. of art and for folks may pay for him and that made a long. long hike from the house he missed the vatican. 'd might get it seems like for a long time many dutch people were able to see slavery as something that happened far far away how big was the dutch role in this system of oppression what it was huge because the dutch took nearly 600000 people from africa and they invented this triangle trade they started in the 17th century they bought in slave people from the west coast of africa brought them to the americas some markets in exchange them for sugar tobacco and coffee for example and with this good they come back to europe and got really rich and this is

the reason why so many historians of today say refused to name this era the golden age of the netherlands because it's based on the true and injustice system do you think good business exhibition at the rights museum could mark a new chapter for the dutch in terms of examining their own history but it is a 1st step in that direction but also in this year the dutch prime minister marco to refuse to apologize full his pos foes countries passed because he said it's too polarizing and some people think it's more about the fear of paying compensation well michael krueger thanks so much for that examination of this new exhibition. well the netherlands also has a long history of fighting back sea tides about a 3rd of the country is actually below sea level and now with climate change and rising sea levels threatening coastal areas and islands around the world that's architect althouse thinks he has a solution to help cope with flooding making new cities that float. the

future will be went says. a pioneer of aqua architecture he designed for and climate change approved buildings we caught up with him at his water studio in the hague via video link. and i think this is what. you have to be flexible you have to be. on what is basically what it is almost everything for me it's i think it's my own my life were . similar things in everything you do for almost 2 decades he's been developing projects on water all over the world houses on pontoons the rise and fall with the time fillers that moved like boats. in leo on as a native of holland oh to see knows about floods i'm off to my studies not understanding

living in this completely crazy fighting against water only. how can there be no living on the water i don't live with what the use the water. at the beginning of his career he designed for looting houses for wealthy clients his. wealth found all over the netherlands. and when i started travelling around the world we saw all the cities there so well that they suffered for so many more programs and we changed our perspective it was . no longer about building to be about understanding problems since you know what it can be our own. solutions. for slums which are often threatened with flooding due to climate change he's developed a special concept floating containers equipped with showers medical centers

6. well this floating school container consists about 2 things one is of course the school with all the tablets in it and the other thing is the floating foundation well the floating foundation we make in the philippines ourselves so we collect $15000.00 plastic bottles people bring to us we bring them in that's make a platform on top of it and then complete a container will be put on that platform. water is the new building site very 1st floating apartment complex is due to be built on wetlands south of the hague this is an office tower he has designed for rotterdam. says it's better to prepare for the future because the fact is we don't know them through to look like now do we get more water. and why extreme rain.

growing 3rd or so as as we don't know what the future will bring you have to be flexible. the architects vision is of a flexible city made up of floating elements that can be shifted and tapped into the changing realities and needs of its inhabitants. thinking leads to some unusual ideas floating nature reserves for example these were developed for new york to improve. the project fell through at the last moment so although a project is not build it's not that the knowledge is gone it's part of this growing. the recent kind of tipping point at the border is not just built war there are more architects were interested in history early years all the city taking used the water. at the beginning of the month.

they say pods will soon be built just outside new york on the hudson river water is no longer seen as a right it's also an opportunity. the future can be wet. during the time of the berlin wall german rock legend who don't live in baghdad something very few musicians from west germany did while others were trying to crack the charts and western europe and in america then bag campaigned for 8 years to play in communist east germany something his fans still remember today now don't let him back his just released a compilation album in time for his 75th birthday. this. month 75 years 75 songs you know when a bird is celebrating his birthday with a new greatest hits album the man with the instantly recognizable trademark hat his music by turns humorous provocative or emotional.

balance have become german and he's the voice of several generations. so there's a connection between my lyrics and the way people on the street talk no nonsense plain speaking. 50 years ago was a pioneer of rock music with german lyrics a revolution. over the years he has not stopped 36 studio albums selling millions. his most famous topic was the division of germany as in the song the girl from east berlin.

with the song became popular in communist east germany distributed on illegal cassette recordings so i knew i had a lot of friends and of course i wanted to meet them to go there take off my glasses and say good day to you come a little closer. bishan was to perform behind the iron curtain he waited a long time for an invitation from the country's communist leader areas hanukah then finally in $1803.00 a one off performance in east berlin under the watchful eye of the stars of the state security apparatus. in the 1990 s. with germany reunited the rocker took a back seat for a while and in the book took up painting depicting german history on paper using a rock n roll touch paint distilled from alcoholic beverages his paintings were hung in the german chancellor's office is quite an accolade from the world of politics. in
