i'm better spanish. 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, 3 people that had worked with children from under previous communities. on a daily basis, she deals with children who have experienced creek laws and are forced to grow up before they're ready. but since the outbreak of who would 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 co would 19, many children are facing another tragic fall out of the band. many have lots mothers or fathers are both leaving them extremely wonderful. since last year, the angel a pretty was have provided support to talking children who have been often new to call the 1900. 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 realistic 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 effects and child labor. the real issue 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 i'm looking for something for 3 things need to happen. one, these schemes that provide the financial assistance to these families so that the basic subsistence is ensured. the 2nd thing that needs to happen is the government have to explore ways of keeping the children in school, the toward either ensuring a livelihood for the family, or ensuring that they are you start in 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. back at the center, creepy says that many children she meets with are in crisis right now. we've gotten

home because of it years of hard work that we and the children had put in seemed to have gone reached home. we are now trying to get them back to their studies and 2 different activities we are trying to help 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 pandemic has inflict didn't jeremy, not from delhi, with more, is a don j tingle. he's the executive director of the child right into a bunch fun, but on the, on visiting a welcome. what would you say is the most immediate impact of india corporate crisis on this children to be the most effective in the up and this and in the last,

the children would care for the, for the lot. and the thing became bonding or being in after was a lot done opened up. and this being the children last log and didn't become often all the last one or one get into the member of leg or the in the 2nd edition in all the, all the was infected in the on would you say this, these issues or these problems are more pronounced amongst for children. so the checking was surely more for the day and the office isn't kathy or the more that or the more one

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 i'm saying is there's no trying to be make sure that the all me more. busy action on it. go for the last of the, the, i'm going to come up there trying to locate the. but we can get on the needle for more work to action needs to be done on the supporting and making the one lead for the was lost. and didn't know that at the moment, and nobody had the data on the, on the when become all started in the sub in the family

and in the 1st. but then this issue of the children often and all can come on come what can give us a call, but it's not what needs to be done then what, how committed would you say is the government towards actually providing help to these children? the government coming up, but they're coming up on that was so the action of a thing in the company, but i was at the moment in the fight and do the wall out. the children were both the and white them before it become perfect or become like if i go so be the

moment is to be supporting the needs to go forward and inform the action again here that being done have not are not fully knowledge of really the c o 2 also children who have not. right yeah. right. we leave it there for the time being, but thank you so much for joining us. and it's very important. subject them in general, the executive director of the bunch fun battelle on dolan enabling pakistan people are watching in the devastating 2nd wave of cobra. 1900 with dread. many fear of a country could fall into a similar scenario with an already shaky health care system. in prepared to cope with a dramatic spike in infections, boxed on top health official says the covert 19 variant that door through india has not been found in pocket on. bitter traditions mean contacts across the land border

remains us, but pockets on is ramping up its defenses. all the same it's a busy day at reopen 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 us back to kofax 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 the cam dot to the next wave that's 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 vaccination of the vehicle. 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 they need though, 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 school. pakistan desperately needs to increase its like for nation 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 miss about the corona virus to assist them on, on the as it moves. lim, 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 called time, and i believe that corona can't come inside it, but 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 said so that we can avoid what is happening in india. yes, a lot of the home which sick pakistan's top house official has maintained that the very end responsible 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 what regions birds have been increased 2234.

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 both the small mocked restock her boots are be by lighting candles. now 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

you feel worried to me to i'm neil. host of the on the grievance to me it's clear. we need to change the solutions or alpha, join me for the green transformation to me for the

me. what's the chris? why behind the was the discover new adventures in 360 degree and explore the fascinating world inside the w a world heritage 3. now 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 beloved cra, gala uganda,

an artist and social activist whose floors, 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 thoughts and observations he had as 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. while eric karl died on sunday at 91. 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 sitting in 1969. he created the very hungry caterpillar over all he wrote and illustrated more than 70 children's books. but none of his works touched as many hards as the tale of

a caterpillar with an insatiable appetite horton part 2 books or children or anything. it's really is the idea or in us. the idea come 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 titles 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 a home. children need home. you little 2nd caterpillar can grow up into a beautiful butterfly and fly into the world with your talent. his signature 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 eclipse, all 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 call instantly recognize that 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 on, on believable good memories of it all. day for eric, karl fans, obviously all over the world. and many people of course,

probably don't realize that he has driven route. 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 went to 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, love of nature on childhood, walks returned from the war, a broken man. this was war time experience left the scars for the office. you know, obviously very formative years there. now he also studied in germany, which was also formative. when he graduated from the academy of art and design, we can see him celebrating here with fellow student sheet initially been turned on to our by high school teacher who introduced him to the kind of not that was actually banned under the nazi co return to the u. s. and 900. $50.00 to $823.00, with a nice work book and $40.00 in his pocket as he would like to say off to initially

working in advertising, he turned to illustrating and writing children. stories was almost instantly a success with his trademark college style tonight and such a fascinating story. i know his passing has struck a chord for me to 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 times my children, and i would come up completely enraptured by the glory of his books, a gift to humanity you love forever broken fruits of the of us side. well, i can certainly say i can echoed those sentiments hardly can hardly say it 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 on the us hit television sitcom. 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 re unite that 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 as an author that he's currently racking up the prizes. his 1st book entitled to f o, p, and one. germany's prestigious like facebook award for european understanding. and that book aims to normalize blackness here in europe and calls for europe to actually confront its colonial passed 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 what the virtues of right 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, where black and white residents interact with more ease than most places in europe, including germany. he don't hear much about even also from bismark holding the

burling conference for all the of the european powers to decide how they can call africa rope. 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 is the dominant historical narrative in germany. it's a big differences in issues at the black community a face. and is it not kind of national mis may came about about who the country is? the germans have largely forgotten their countries, brutal, colonial past 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, and britain children learn about the glories of the former empire, but not about its wealth from the slave trade. then there's how europe's white majorities see after pins. 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 100 people from the get. so who are thugs. on the other hand, you know, even within the black community, we talk about kings a lot, your kings, i'm not into royalty or 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 2 pallets of. pit subjects come from different social and economic backgrounds, some at the center of society, others on the margins. his book and his photos revealed. there are many ways to be black and european identities are always a patchwork and it's also with a camera that the loving core gala tells their stories. stories of queer and non binary africans who face not only ramp discrimination, hatred, and violence,

but in many countries also anti gay laws. it's a small private photo shoot. let me quote, garland, home and compiler. today's work is part of the lobby's gender identity project. i think the kingdom of photo theories documenting equip people across africa as a queer person, you know, in the country way you know like illegal to be yourself. they have to say the boys can do make up or like flowers of boys gowers and like, you know, boys country addresses for me. my, well that doesn't apply because i feel like, you know, it should be a free while of like free expression. the 26, you know, identified as non binary. clear. this means that the lobby doesn't identify as a man or woman. and consequently, wednesday, the 3rd day of them rather than he or she yet. and uganda telling l g b t q stories and being part of the minority,

queer community is anything but easy. i had my 1st come close to it because you know, i was in someone's backyard to, you know, like shooting, you know, like mike, we are friends for the queen. don't predict some things like i'm afraid to get out of the house because on the streets i've been called the p g because i simply have a symptom and they can be, was arrest intimidation and treatment. and those strangers and you've done as quick community of the threats and insults have not posted off their course the photographer, believe that every community with a queer, young, old, rich, or pull to be able to tell it story in some yeah, one of components slums left the inspired next generation of photographers may teach photography for the heart of dance african rhythm project, a local n g o, which helps children hear the new skills. mother thinks the kids are bursting with

time. once again, the people of coma, a looking for safe haven. in that again, i said on the radio that we have to evacuate, go mind, go to nearby saki, but we don't have an exact destination. we can feel a lot of rumblings people are being told to leave the city of schoolmaster, otherwise menu will die. but a quick escape seems all but impossible. the mass exodus has left roads jammed with traffic for many the fast this way out as on foot. many are headed for neighboring rwanda, others so fleeing by boat, among them, these orphan children seeking safe harbor on lake keeble. mountaineer dongle is considered one of the world's most dangerous volcanoes, the erupt last saturday claimed at least 32 life. experts warn this time could be much worse,

they few are so called limited eruption could smother the area with carbon dioxide and kill thousands of over a boot is chief of the un peacekeeping mission. in goma, i asked him about the situation on the ground. it is trisha continues to be very, very concerning the proposition continue to move out of my town towards either the east or the west, the east tours, the london border. many of them have already crossed, but even more considering now the 10s of thousands of people have been moving towards the west towards a town called psyche. and people are still trying to make their way there to reach safety. however, due to a bad road conditions, traffic and the large number of the population that is displacing, it's becoming very, very difficult to reach the destination. there was an eruption on saturday, but came within a few 100 meters of the city, yet this time no erupt,

shouldn't. yes, but you are moving people out. so what is, what is the difference between the 2 situations, while thoughts is more concerned about this future potential eruption? it will kennedy very, very difficult to predict. so directional had to do was predicted. and it came as a surprise and therefore led to the publish and leaving immediately the town of coma to re it to reach safety. now since then, we've been monitoring the volcano using our resources and the this is using a helicopter and drawn reconnaissance team bytes to actually reach the volcano and try to look into the crater to get an assessment of the 11th leak. that exists in said that creator, depending on the assessment of that level, make how high the leather is on, how low, how, how hard the fuel that is coming out of it. we can somewhat predict if there is a risk of another reduction or not. but also since saturday we've been witnessing

a large number of earthquakes, we're talking about sometimes up to 5 earthquakes, an hour. and some of them are really injured because not only to scare the population by the needing to cracking the half since demolishing some of the buildings. so this or so in addition of threat to the population and insecurity. so my beau chief of the un peacekeeping mission in goma will take a look at some other stories making news around the world. now, dozens of people are drowned in western nigeria after an overloaded boat carrying around a 100. 65 passengers sank in niger river left central niger states and was heading to cabby state when it broke into the rescue. workers se 22 people survived. only 5 bodies in french president emmanuel, macro has emit as admitted that his country failed. the victims of lands as genocide in 1994. but his speech at the god genocide memorial stopped short of an

those young people with risk factors because they are, the benefits are very clear, but they still want to wait for more data from countries that have already started vaccinating their young population like the u. s. and the 3rd question of filling the tables of logistics and the chance for today at the press briefing, said again that she believes to me will be able to offer shot to anybody who's willing to, to take one by the end of the summer. this will now then include 12 to 16 year old and but the question is, where will those children we vaccinated to the region still have to come up with a plan of how and, and where to do that. and so there are a lot of questions still in the air. right. so is there pressure to vaccinate teenagers and children in germany was coming from yeah, pressure has been mounting on the government from a lot of voices in society that have accused the government of not prioritizing children and young people in this pandemic. those comes as

a lot of schools have not resumed normal classes, yet a lot of students all over the country are still stuck in online learning and, and parents and young people themselves, especially as the vaccination drive has picked up speed in germany and now have now accused the government of failing to take the needs of children and young people into account infection rates here and germany were very high a few weeks ago. where are we now? well, the situation is very different. it does have improved a lot. we see the lowest infection rates in october, and as i said, the vaccination drive has already picked up speed. some 40 percent of dreams have already received their 1st job. some 15 percent fully vaccinated in most regions. also, restrooms have have started to open the outdoor seating areas from cultural institutions and events. cautiously being restarted with hygiene and social distances,
