ah, i'm british manager. welcome to w news, a show. glad you could join us. now images such as these behind me that have come to define india, 2nd wave of corona, virus infections. do not adequately capture its devastation. that's because most of these images are from india cities, places with at least medical facilities. but hayden, from do, indian villages where medical facilities either don't exist at all, or only name. just as an example, in the us, most popular states will tell has only one. dr. barton 19000 people feed up the car. respondent emission just fall, travel to a village in the state, not too far from delhi to assess the impact of india. second wave of cov, it infections, it has been an exhausting month,

but yet your hon. for we his son has been, was jacked by fever and trouble breathing. so hun, who reads a scatter for a living, finally arranged a car to take his son to the hospital in the city has seen tested positive for the corona virus. 40 years later he was discharged. not because he was feeling better, but because they had already jacked up a bill of about 1500. your old guy had seen a d. d b joe own spice your of the day when he can find work or had i didn't improve at all at the hospital. we somehow it eased an oxygen cylinder at home with real difficulty. i had to borrow money from several people. we didn't have a ruby for your child to do anything. the family of 30 lives cramped together in close quarters be have been lucky that no one else will speak and beautifully in. and even luckier to get a diagnosis. many a falling stick in this village,

which lies a 100 kilometers east of the national capital. but there is no testing that arnold government has facilities in this village. small private clinic like this, one of the only saw the gap and i feel that hundreds of complaints of people in the last month and one they do not have the provisions to feed the code on about it. and ref, a patients through the city. but treatment that is expensive and given the call, if you it is very difficult to even travel that. so nice komatt has the guard and good a for treatment for his father and siblings. he even raised beds to contact. he lost all 3 of them last week. the doctor's asked the family to arrange medicines, but they were sold count, defeat bottles in the oval vend hospital, charged twice as much for services, recounting the horrors of what he saw, modest skeptical about the number of deaths being reported in the state. i get

getting calls from the authorities for 3 b as after my father's death, asking after his head. i told them he'd boss to be. i don't even know if that was counted and i thought 8 bodies came out of the hospital with my father date. for my son, without diagnosis, fever that's on the right. jimmy joe han, a social worker describes what has been happening 1st. they haven't fever, then they feel better. many eventually die at home. in this, how someone died in that house to jo hon says there are 50 fresh creve in this cemetery alone rested. and they gave to the beaver started spiking after values were held here for local elections last month. and i gotcha han started making a list of debts in the village because of death for mort is feeble and breathless. almost none of these have been recorded at corona virus that was in the week of the

day, people are dying apart and nobody has been tested. now, you haven't been told anything about the vaccine. nobody here has gotten no doctor have visited for the last year. this village has been relatively untouched by the panoramic. now, residents identified the feel that are recorded key for flag in open in the growing wirelessly, continue to rec, and inhabit and you can get regular updates on the current about a situation in india on our website. the w dot com, the in japan same sex couples finding more acceptance but not yet. equality for years depends government has consistently denied same sex couples the right to get married. activists want a symbolic between march, when a court in the city or support or declared the ban on same sex marriage unconstitutional. the ruling has no immediate effect as the law remains the same.

and though many same sex couples long for a legal union, some have decided to just can't wait to wed for momo and nana. it's a joyous day. each detail has to be just right for the ceremony celebrating their union star. and just a while co, i'm excited. i'm glad that mamma gets to see me this way. who got so excited that i almost had to cry earlier, with the condo step then maybe the most the day. thursday was like a monday. i almost can't believe it. how will it be there? i'm so happy unless they read their wedding is not official because japan does not recognize same sex marriage. but this buddhist temple near tokyo feels responsible to an even higher authority.

buddhist monk more concerned doesn't care about the marriage ban. he wants to make possible what the state does not allow my mother. it's a very important ceremony for both them that you know, i think i'm just as excited as they are. that's what, what, what, what the ceremony is also a chance for mama and none to raise awareness. the pictures taken here will help the temple advertise for marriage equality then they both pledge to meet life challenges together of our made in all solemnity. and the best reason for a celebration, the happy couple may feel like their marriage has been sealed. but japanese law makers disagree. same sex marriage is

not officially recognized in japan. some prefect years offer partnership certificates to same sex couples. some people even adopt their partners to stay together. mobile and nono want to have a child. it would help if they were married. in march, the local court made a historic ruling declaring the ban on same sex marriage unconstitutional. but actually changing the law could take years. so momo and nana have to wait, like a buddy. i think it's because people don't make a big deal about their lifestyle. to the sky, given someone got that to go to. and also because japan is probably the countries where people most fear being culturally different. yvonne couldn't you couldn't, i didn't know, cannot be in the mama and nana could still have their big day for real

sometime in the future and seal their union with a real marriage certificate. and jeremy of novel mor, this story is convey dory from human rights watch in the tokyo come a welcome court recently said that the ban on same sex marriage is unconstitutional . why then, does japan not have a law that legalize the same sex marriage? so that decision was able by the supple or a district court. so it's not the supreme court. so japan, you know, the, independent, to make this judgement final, this district court decision is to go to high court and then the supreme court. so us, if supreme court court also approved this as the constitutional and then the japanese national diet needs to enact the law which allowed same sex

marriage. but does the government at all want to enact a law that legalize the same sex marriage? so for it does not, that's why there, i mean, the national diet, japanese power doesn't have to wait for the supreme court to say that they have to enact a law. they can and knocked same sex marriage today if they want to. but unfortunately, the japanese government doesn't want to have such a law, so that's why we don't have any we don't have the same sex marriage today. what is stopping the japanese government from an acting such a law? yes. well, the depend. i mean, not all the same sex marriage a japan does not have it corporate protection for l g, b to people, for example, in employment or in, in any social area. so currently, l d, b, d, people doesn't have any national laws to protect them. so it's not all the same sex

marriage, but why the japanese government not willing to have a law is because although the majority of japanese public support known discrimination or same sex marriage for eligibility people however small portion of. 7 diet members, japanese parliamentarians are against the idea. that's why they prevent that kind of protection of eligibility. people to pass in the diet so far as you find is also under the international spotlight as a host of the olympics, which in its charter bands discrimination of any kind. our lawmakers feeling any kind of pressure to pass l g b t legislation before the games kick off in july. in fact the human rights watch and local l g b to groups. pushing really hard on the japanese government to pass non

discrimination law for l g b t people. so diet members, fearing pressure and then a for currently the japanese diet is discussing a lot on eligibility people. however, again, a small portion of di members, but they are in their ruling l d. b party are against having untied discrimination law. so it is still unclear whether such a law can pass the japanese diet before the olympics. can they though we leave there for the time being, but thank you so much for joining us. can i do from human much thank you very much for having me. and there's more this on our website dot com, forward slash issue delivery. now with pick just from thailand where authorities have detected the 1st locally transmitter cases of the highly infectious grove in 1900 variant 1st found in india, the country has been ramping up, as that's

difficulty is to create something radically modern that can harmonize with what already exists on to set like making a connection here between this extraordinary 18th century staircase. bannister. and this contemporary lamp is sort of mean ask you to contact on a former businessman francois. if you know it's a major collector and patron of the arts is collection include some 10000 works by 350 artists with his 1st exhibition. the passionate lover is certainly not playing it's safe. instead of focusing solely on well established artist, he's including outsiders. will he help make looms or stones of tomorrow? settled in the fields can softer because everyone expected him to come with well

love a lyrics that are a mix of irony and depression aggression the winning tree. i want to get rid of being personalized in questions by mouth, reporters times because the 3rd album, women in music were used to get the question every interview. what is it like to be a woman in music? and at a point, it just felt almost like every time i just wanted to roll my eyes like why is this even a question? you don't ask men this question. we thought maybe if we call it music part 3, we could say like, hey, that's what the album called. don't ever ask the question again. i don't ask any, i never ask another girl again. it's work. i

assume the time the music is recorded in analog creaking guitar riffs in a time. driving percussion. the something like music that makes us dance. love to dance in the family. we've always loved to dance. even my parents lived down. the sisters grew up in a musical household to the trumpeted permanent fixture and the families living room kids. they played with them musical parents in a band put in hynes, a stage experience from the age of 8th more than anything oppression, sixties, seventies, of aces rock'n'roll. we grew up listening to those songs and i think we just always loved classic rock. i think when we're recording,

we definitely try to take from are kind of our favorite music kind of the sonic, the sounds of different types of genres and different types of music. she is a friend who dies unexpectedly at the age of 21. a love seat with cancer. ah, i get this dark experiences transformed into moving ballads. time the sound of the there's a lot of talk in the fashion world about diversity. so why don't we see more models who are trans have down syndrome or are missing a limb?

the founders of visibility modeling and talent agency in london are pushing fashioned toward a more inclusive vision of humanity. and business is booming. the british talent agency, zebedee specializes in non traditional models, people with disabilities alternative appearances, or who are trans or non binary. the agency wants to increase the visibility of these models in the media and the world of fashion. that would be the end goal is to see like 20 percent of the old fashion. she's all commercial. she is all, you know, and using somebody who has a disability, not just in front of the camera, but behind the camera or the creators on board the, you know, come do this. and it's a true representation of fighting that we proctor launched the agency with her sister in law laura johns in 2017. they were disappointed by the lack of diversity

in the industry. today's debbie de has a roster of more than 500 talents in london, new york and los angeles. when we 1st thought to 7th day laura's goal was to see a baby with a disability on not be packaging. and, and at that point we didn't think that was going to be achievable and my idea was going to be high and brand like get cheap in 2020 eli goldstein, featured in the gucci campaign for photo. got almost 900000 lakes on instagram, making up the brands most popular instagram post ever. the sought after 19 year old model has down syndrome. i think when i see myself, i'm like, i say read me on your, me hi me. a lot more kate because but good. he lives and

f 2 only knows that she's a role model for other people with disabilities they can, they may and more door. right. may also make i called the, i'm not to do that. ah, zebedee represents a wide variety of different models. so it's important to me that the agent that i signed with what interested and cared about representing diversity and representing us and allowing us to be authentic. i would say them major is very much like they they jump into a trend. so they're right now is a trend, right? and so say how long get lot we will say because obviously these

a lifelong conditions level we have lack quite remember there's lots of little boys and girls out that you know, they need to see this for their own, bring in and their mental health the agency has made a name for itself with many major brands now, hiring us models so, so we proctor hoops for agency will help promote greater diversity and awareness in the world. the more we do, the, the greater impact that we'll have on changing people's opinions and be i think we still got a long way to go. i mean, we still feel at the bottom of the mountain going the progress is being made. one photo shoot at a time because diversity is be fine. and you heard that here on d w. well, that's it for this arts and culture. i'll leave you now with the latest optical
