ana give me even more of an incentive, even more of an opportunity to be able to connect more, to collaborate more opportunities to reach out on to be working together with others. and very excited by that in missouri, it's also important to bring people together through music outside the concert hall . music sharing is just one of a number of charities she has founded since 2007. she's been a un messenger piece working in the pool, for example, to bring education to children and young people. she formed with fellow musicians in schools, refugee camps, and hospitals. the but she's well aware that music can't solve all the world's problems, but it can definitely make the world

me that's it for this edition of arts and culture for more you can follow us on facebook and twitter. just search for d w culture. now for me and the whole crew here in berlin. thanks for watching the ah, what matters to us? me? that's why we listen to their stories reporter every weekend on d. w. to go beyond. yes. as we take on the world,

we're all about stories that matter to the whatever it take least month following on fire. may the me, the speaker real story last because that seems brought out in the us shopping with face recognition in russia. but we begin in india where the subcontinent is suffering under the world's biggest surge in corona infections. this huge burden on the population has triggered a mental health that they've done it. that's causing people to see counseling, online breakdowns,

feel anxiety. these other words 29 year old konica, you visit us about how she's been with the 2nd week of school with 90. both her parents are cool with for the 2. and her father has been in the hospital for the last name to me. it's been an emotional may have in this 2nd leave, my dad became a victim and a very serious one. and it just made me realize how clevi things are at the clinical runs an online mental health platform mind which connect people to credited and statistics enough to tell her that she is not alone about some anxiety, depression, and grief that many are already experiencing. she says a lot of young people may end up suffering with the magic stress disorder. last year, about $1516.00 had to be that one coming in in one day. and right now from the last

few to 4 weeks at least. but that has to be, or the, the 2nd wave has been status topic, images of people gasping for breath and collapsing in front of hospitals where no beds or oxygen are available have impacted the mental well being. many, some experts are convinced this we've had triggered a mental health epidemic of its own therapy. she had actually knew us and says many young people who come to her feel hopeless and anxious or an uncertain future. but next to me, going to a traumatic space have not with the ongoing, with the with, with overwhelm and which means that not a badge to handle. and as for me, because she knew was an ad that being constantly connected with the world online and accessing new informations. why helpful is also impacting the country's youth.

by the 2nd, we get an update. all of these, anybody getting married to stretching in region was sick and dead and leaving it or i don't think it's going experience that in the us with every guess. we need help. as we recovered from this yesterday, hopefully more and more people will speak when it comes to them and hopefully increase conversations about it. both she and child and have been doing what they found to help by amplifying request for emergency aid on social media. the see that while there is an overpowering feeling of helplessness, there's also some optimism in the week. young people have been mobilizing health in these times. the in the he lives because the billing team that think campaign is willing to weigh with millions already vaccinated.

surprisingly, the i see state of alaska, that's the country south dyslexia rollout displayed its remote location. the final preparations for a vaccine slide near the arctic circle in alaska, kimberly and has, with her 50 shots of the majority of the scene, she hopes they'll help bring into the pandemic, which has hid rural alaska hard. one person gets fed here. that's, you know, that's 5 percent of the population almost. so that one household pretty much can cause for the whole village to shut down. that means nobody hauling water. nobody hauling fuel. nobody. you know, you're not leaving your house to go get stuff that you need. okay, it's going to take us dr. 20 minutes over to be despite its remoteness. the state of alaska has rolled out the corona virus vaccine faster than any other state in the us today. the team of healthcare professionals will be visiting several

indigenous villages in the arctic wilderness. the village of vina tai has no mobile phone coverage, no supermarket, and no permanent. dr. landing on a gravel runway covered with snow. all goods have to be flown into vina tai, today's airframe is the covert 19 vaccine. the village of around $200.00 inhabitants has only 2 cars. one of them is the ambulance snow mobiles of the most important means of transport or a quick ride takes the team to the local health center. inside around 20 villagers are waiting for their shot. going to have, like most of the villagers, lauren's roberts belongs to the rich and tribe. for many years. he's relied on his strong constitution, but in time of the pandemic,

he wants to play it safe. from learning you will have to get sick or if it will prevent hospitalization, that's good. take off to the next village. it may be one of the world's remote places, but when it comes to the vaccine program, alaska is leading the way. um, the other, the facility to the southern edge of the trid is what if you are a poorest neighborhoods people here lack electricity and other basic amenities in the government. looks phone without taking action. regional authorities on the process of demolishing these houses from social work, a contralto minnes, his eye witness to this transition, right in front of us is where they will build a regional pock,

demolition. the government's attempt to stop the illegal settlements here. but relocation is slow going, the trucks can be seen coming and going to the ring, sent a few minutes, and this team often come to visit. they bring families, basic supplies and our middleman between the authorities and those who want to leave this place. living conditions here in humane children can be back to, to live like this. that's why i think it's important that we all help that way. these families can exist in normal housing conditions until they are relocated. and the funniest point, and at least as far as food hygiene and electricity is concerned in a loo, the power has been out since october, the cannabis plantations, further up in areas 6, increasing the draining power supply. families here when one's able to get electricity from their own line, receive fed none. this has been living here for 30 years. it's never been easy. but

now life for her and her children has become impossible. it's sad. my children grew up here, but i want them to have a good life. i want them to have running water and electricity for tv. a lot, they make it, we put the buckets here, then warm the water in them, then report it in the bath tub. so we can wash ourselves on these families, suffer most june, the cold months as t w reported this winter feeling forgotten by politicians. they found other solutions . definitely touch is a bit relieved now that she has solar panels and electricity, yohina garcia color on installed the panels. his charity organization wants to help 70 other families to get started with solar power. the most in this is a community where people live illegally. that's why government authorities calmed intervene like they usually would have. i mean, this would be asking them to do something highly unusual. the school and at the moment we don't have any politicians do unusual things like that because you need

courage for that. and you have to be willing to take a risky, i just have some folks over at the regional government has taken a clear line. the more like tricity you give them more than marianna plantations will take the money one or they take advantage of these people's poverty. as local police only have limited powers, i used to says the central government has to do something, but they won't. minister doesn't understand why not. the violence is in the air here. it's the ghetto to get to for the poor and that generate crime. a lot of people are using drugs and selling them. that's not good. you can yeah, that is a place with many faces. this is just one of them, the intervention supermarket, she can see by simply looking into

a camera. but some activists are sounding the alarm about potential data protection abuses ah, cache guards and cell phones. so yesterday, today is the blink of a camera. lens is all it takes and the tap is paid. face id technology is now operating in around 50 over the x 5 retail groups. moscow supermarkets system catch him with a 0 to them. we'll w, we want to make it convenient for customers. they safe time and don't need to get out their phone. a wallet, just press the button, the system reach their face and they can go home quickly to shatoya. or just so far, facial recognition payment is only available to customers who haven't counts with a major russian bank and that they have to provide the bank with their biometric data. one study by a credit card institute shows 70 percent of russians would be willing to use the

technology once they've heard about it. i've never heard of it before. and if you could, would you do it to me why not, maybe fucking students. so now they're going to recognize our faces to grange. i'll have to get used to that yet. facial recognition technology is already a part of everyday life, almost more than 170000 cameras register and regulate public life. half of them with the help of pace. while it's a blessing for police officers, it's a curse for data protection advocates, privacy activist aiyona, paula campaigns against the mass use of facial recognition and is critical of ration laws. she says they are too vague and don't protect the personal data well enough. paula has even suited the moscow city government without success. measure done the lead or biometric data is part of our private lives,

which no one is allowed to enter with their dirty shoes. once it's deposited, you can never get rid of this data, your voice, your gate in your face, that's data that accompanies us throughout our lives. is that became apparent during recent opposition, protest, 100 involved in on authorized demonstrations over the last few months have been subsequently investigated and punished by police in moscow. data protection arguments haven't convinced doctor web developers as they are currently analyzing customer reactions to the technology. the goal is to later install facial recognition cameras in more than $6000.00 terminals across russia. the
