i'm bitter spanish is welcome to d. w. news a share. glad you can join us children in india. fast becoming the unseen victims of india going about a crisis with millions of indians having lost their jobs. children have been forced out of school into work to support their families, and a deadly 2nd wave of the pandemic has ultimate orphans of many children, particularly those from poor communities. for 9 years now, the people that had worked with children from under previous communities. on a daily basis, she deals with children who have experienced creek laws and forced to grow up before they're ready. but since the outbreak of who with 19 their numbers are growing, children are being made to quit education and pick up household responsibilities and are also being pushed into child labor as their families have lost income. secondly, since they are spending a lot of time at their home,

now many cases of child abuse are also coming up. having already been disproportionately affected by over 19, many children are facing another tragic fall out of the funding. many have lots mothers or fathers or book leading them extremely one of the since last year the angel, a pretty world has provided support to 13 children who have been offered. you took over 19 by helping them settling with their extended families. so no opposing the founder of the organization says that while children who have been often how much tougher and need immediate attention, a more holistic approach is needed to address every child in distress. there is a lot of conversation about it often, but honestly, on the ground in such cases are probably 5 to 6 percent. the other 95 percent cases that we're looking at is where the bed, the very best of these children are pushing them into sexual trade, transactional sex and child labor. the real issue is to look at the vulnerability

mapping of which child is in massive distress and which side needs more support that there is a need for a more comprehensive approach is something that an iraq can do. the head of the deli commission for protection of child right. also advocate for living for the 3 things need to happen. one, these schemes that provide financial assistance to these families so that at least the basic subsistence is ensured. the 2nd thing that needs to happen is the governments have to explore ways of keeping the children in school, the toward either ensuring a livelihood for the family. what ensuring that they have just started different existing schemes of the government could be a russian or whatever. but ensuring the, the family has adequate means as an immediate urgent step. the commission has started a health line for children in distress. and back at the center preview says that many children she needs with are in crisis. right now. we've got

a home because of it years of hard work that we and the children had put in seem to have gone waste or home. we are now trying to get them back to their studies and 2 different activities. we are trying to heal them and help them come out of the difficult situations. they are still brief. he says that despite their best efforts, it will be a long while before the children are able to cope with the heart. and the trauma that the time to make hasn't flicked, didn't, and jeremy now from delhi with more is a don j tingle. he's the executive director of the child right into a bunch fun, but on dolan visiting a welcome. what would you say is the most immediate impact of india colbert crisis on the children being the more effective in the up and this and in the foot when it came last

would care for the, for the lot. and the game became bonded or being careful in up there was a lot done. busy opened up and being a lot a lot more in that become often all the last the one or one get in with the member last leg or the was the fact that and then all the, all of that have been infected in this weekend. would you say this, these issues or these problems are more pronounced amongst for children? so the checking was surely more for the kids. and the johnson, this isn't kathy or the more but that's on the on the more one page it's not on. you don't know,

what would you say? what kind of support is available, particularly to poor children, to cope with these various issues or for example, loss of education or loss of their parents. what is the is no well trained to be make sure that the all man is more. busy action on it, go for the loss of the, the, me to come up there trying to locate those. but we can get on the needle for more action on supporting that. so let me know what the lead for the julian was lost and didn't know that the bomb and nobody had the data on the, on the we can. all right,

so it was started in the family and i was the 1st person with this issue. all the children often and all for getting on thing from what we can give us a call back. if not what needs to be done, then what, how committed would you say is the government towards actually providing health to these children? the government is coming up, but they're coming up on that was so the action of a thing and then the company at the moment is active in the fight and do the other way and why them before they become capturing or become being called. so be the moment is to be supporting that needs to go forward. busy

and also the vision in action, but again, here they're being done or not are not fully knowledge of fully go to all the children who have not. right yeah, right. we'll leave it there for the time being. but thank you so much for joining us. and it's very important subject, i'm injecting the executive director of the bunch fun battelle on the lawn in neighboring pakistan. people are watching india devastating 2nd wave of cobra. 1900 with dread. many fear their country could fall into a similar scenario with an already shaky health care system in prepared to cope with a dramatic spike in infections. but don't stop health official, says the coven, 1900 variant that door through india has not been found in practice on bitter

relations mean contacts across the land border remains us, but pockets on is ramping up its defenses. all the same it's a busy day, had room pin the vaccination center. every resident over the age of 19 can now register to get their job with vaccines bought and donated from china and allocations from the u. n. back to kovak scheme. pakistan has now secured more than $18000000.00 vaccine doses and it's keen to get them out into the population. initially, there was quite a bit of vaccination hesitancy here. but many have seen what happened in india recently. and they're worried came down to the next wave that is coming could potentially be the worst yet. but when we watch videos about what's happening and india people scrambling to oxygen and ventilate, as we get scared, that it could be like this here. so it's important everyone gets vaccinated common and so magic ok. i would say that every pakistani should get the corona vaccine.

otherwise we'll have a similar situation as we see in our neighboring country of india. what we need to avoid. what's happening there? what are they little actually says people were very scared. they were unsure about the side effects and all. but now there's awareness. people are coming to get back to pakistan, desperately needs to increase its vaccination rate. so thought only about 2 percent of the population have had a shot. infection rates have been declining over the last few weeks, but the country is only just come out of look down. since there's been a loosening of restrictions. markets and mosques once again busy. but in some places, myths about the corona virus to assist them on on. it cannot be as muslim. i believe that while the corona virus exist, hama inside the most, when you come here to pray is put on the corona cannot come inside the most of this

is god's home. and i believe that corona can't come inside it. so even, you know, what, in many mosques, mosques are worn and social distancing. rules followed, or if the curry i asked people to take handful of what the doctor say so that we can avoid what is happening in india. pakistan on top house official has maintained that the very interest constable for the rapid spread of infections and india hasn't yet been found in pakistan. but even if infection rates go up again, doctors are confident that a crisis like their neighbors can be avoided. we have arranged almost 2 to 3 times of our routine services. in this hospital we have extended our ice used from 18 birds to 50 birds in recent days. and similarly, the number of oxygen port number of or treatments birds have been increased pupil

3 4th. meanwhile, everyone here is hoping that these new resources won't be put to the test. and that's it for today. of course, more updates on our website dot com forward slash a show. we leave you today with pictures from thailand where but the small mocked restock up boots are de, while i think can be of the day is a celebration of the birth enlightenment and death of lord both rebec tomorrow. we'll see you then. bye bye. ah, the news,

ah, ah, ah, what matters to us in that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend on dw, the, against the corona virus pandemic. now has the rate of infection in developing what

measures are being taken? what does the latest research say? information and context ah, update the coven, special, monday to friday on d. w. i the welcome to arts and culture. and today we remember eric karl children's book author and the creator of the very hungry caterpillar. a beloved classic published in 1969 call has died at 91 and also coming up british writer and photographer, johnnie pitts set out to documenting everyday experience of black people across europe and has won the lifecycle award for european understanding. and photography is also the medium of expression for delivery, cry, gallow, uganda,

an artist and social activists to explore as gender, fluidity and queer communities across africa. all the secrets with his ability to tap into his inner child is allowed eric karl to expand on faults. on observations he had a small boy and his colorful collages of spiders. butterflies or a certain very hungry caterpillar found their way onto the pages of some of the best selling children's books of old time. well, eric called died on sunday at $91.00, but he'll be remembered by generations of children and parents alike. ah, a child once called him a picture writer, a term the american author eric call thought was very fitting. in 1969, he created the very hungry caterpillar over all he wrote and illustrated more than 70 children's books. but none of his work touched as many hards as the tale of

a caterpillar with an insatiable appetite. horton part 2 books or children or any books really is the idea or in us. the idea coming from the book was originally conceived as a week with really one. and one wonders if this book would have done quite as well without its catchy title. it has been translated into 66 languages. it's german. keitel roughly translates as the little caterpillar never full. eric call had his own theory of why the book was so successful. i think it is the children need hope. you little insight. caterpillar can grow up into a beautiful butterfly and fly into the world with your history. your style was to always use many bright colors and different textures. his

illustrations will continue to be an inspiration for generations to come me. a great memories of reading that book to both of my own children and joining me is adrian kennedy. thanks for joining me, adrian. it's amazing that eric karl actually published as we heard around 70 books . and yet this is really the one that has it kept still, the others, the very hungry caterpillar. this has sold 50000000 copies, be read billions of times the amazing story of the transformation into the future. for butterfly, as we heard initially, the idea was for a very family bookworm. the idea to substitute a caterpillar came from an editor called, instantly recognized that would be just perfect. it's a beautiful book. and perhaps the books that many parents, myself included, have read more than any of us. yes, i'm on believable. good memories of it. a 5 day for eric, karl fans, obviously all over the world. and many people, of course,

probably don't realize that he has driven room. that's why he was born in syracuse, new york in 1929. but when he was just 6, his german immigrant parents took him back to germany, a faithful move eric quince school in nazi germany when world war 2 broke out. eric's father was drafted and captured by the russians. eric's father, who had inspired the office of nature on childhood walks, returned from the war, a broken man. this was war time experience left the scars for the artist, obviously very formative. here they are. now. he also studied in germany, which was also formative. he graduated from the academy of art and design, we can see him celebrating here with fellow heat initially been turned on to our by high school teacher who introduced him to the kind of whatnot that was actually banned under the nazi co returned to the u. s. and $950.00 to $823.00, with a nice work book and $40.00 in his pocket. which way to say off to initially

working in advertising, he turned to illustrating and then writing children's stories was almost instantly a success with his trademark college style. amazing, such a fascinating story. i know his passing historic record for me. so i'm assuming that tributes have been pouring in obviously from people morning. his fellow illustrates is fans and celebrities like flee from the red hot chili peppers. he had this to say. he said, i love eric co cannot count the time as my children and i were cuddled up completely enraptured by the glory of his books, a gift to humanity you love forever broken fruits of the other side. well, i can certainly say i can echo that was sent to me and so i hardly can hardly say it's better. eric carl, on which he may, he rest in peace. and thanks very much for bringing us that incredibly interesting . back story on a world famous author, adrian kennedy. thank you. well,

in other news fans all the us hit television sit. com. friends have waited years for the long delayed and much hyped friends reunion special. the one where they get back together sees jennifer aniston and co reunite at the original friend said with a string of special guests unto the theories is still wildly popular. even among viewers, much too young to remember its original run, which ended of course way back in 2004. tony pits is a photographer, tv presenter, and a musician, but it's an offer that he's currently racking up the prizes. his 1st book entitled to f o, p, and one, germany's prestigious life sick book award for european understanding. and that book aims to normalize blackness here in europe, and calls for europe to actually confront its colonial past head on in the german

city of life. take johnny pitts photos now. phil this square, by the central train station the british photographer and author took them on a winter journey through europe in berlin, paris, stock home, lisbon, brussels, and moscow pits went searching for black europeans and how their identities shape the continent. that was one of the virtues of brian in this way. i didn't have any kind of theories. i wasn't, you know, searching for some kind of confirmation bias i was just open to explore. you know, what the stay of black life was in europe today. pitts titled his autobiographical report, taj, afro p n, a term he uses to describe himself the child of a white english mother and an african american father. he lives in south london, or black and white residents interact with more ease than most places in europe,

including germany. we don't hear much about even also from bismark holding the burling conference for all the of the european powers to decide how they going to africa up. and not to mention that to the colonies that germany had. and i think that's something to do probably with, with world war 2, you know, that now is the dominant historical narrative in germany, the big differences in issues at the black community. a face and is in that kind of national myth making about who the country is. the germans have largely forgotten their countries. brutal, colonial passed and africa. belgians are proud of their traditional chocolates, but don't speak much about how they were able to source so much cheap cow. in britain, children learn about the glories of the former empire, but not about its wealth from this slave trade. the man, there's how europe's white majorities see after pans. today, the view is often only 2 dimensional. blackness is always spoken of in the

super. let's if you know, it's like either on the one hand it's, you know, people from the get. so who are thugs on the other hand, you know, even within the black community, we talk about kings or your kings, i'm not into royalty. oh, any kinds of royalty, you know. and so for me, it was about looking at the human element that you could find within. blackness, not this notion of blackness is something to piloted. subjects come from different social and economic backgrounds, some at the center of society, others on the margins. his book and his photos reveal. there are many ways to be black and european identities are always a patchwork and it's also with a camera that the loving god tells their stories. a stories of queer and non bi anyway, africans who face not only ramp discrimination, hatred, and violence,

but in many countries also anti gay laws. move private photo shoot. let me quote, gala home and compiler. today's work as part of the lobby's gender identity project, the queen and photo series, documenting people across africa. as a queer person, you know, in the country away, you know, like illegal to be yourself. they have to say the boys can do make up well like flowers of boys, gowers and like, you know, boys country addresses for me and my, well that doesn't apply because i feel like, you know, it should be a free while of like free expressions. the 26 year old identified as non binary. clear. this means that a lovely doesn't identify as a man or woman and consequently wants to be referred to as the day of them rather than he or she yet. and you gander, telling l g b t q stories and being part of the minority,

queer community is anything but easy. i had my 1st come confiscated because you know, i was in someone's backyard to, you know, like shooting, you know, like mike, we are friends for the clean don't predict. sometimes like, i'm afraid to get out of the house because on the streets i've been called the pig because i simply have a symptom and they can be, was the arrest, intimidation and mistreatment and those strangers. and you've done this quick community of the threats and, and so have not pushed in love the off their course, the photographer, believe that every community where the queer, young old rich or poor to be able to tell it story in some. yeah. one of components to the slums, lovey inspires next generation of photographers. they teach photography for the heart of dance african rhythm project. a local n g o which helps children hear new skills and everything. the kids are bursting
