for the prize, just so what, what is to is medical really what move on to people who follow along the way, admirers and critics alike. and how is the world's most powerful woman's taking? her legacy? join us the macro glass. the you're watching d. w. news asia 1st covered 19, now a deadly infection targeting vulnerable patients in india. why the black fungus has been declared an epidemic in a growing number of indian states will speak to a doctor who says he's office comic and a veteran, tv journalist, and pockets on taken off the air after speaking out against the country's military . well here why critical journalism is becoming increasingly dangerous for pakistani reporters. the

news i'm assuming. so misconduct, thank you for joining us. we start with another growing health crisis in india. amid the cobit 900 pandemic, india is now battling merkel my coast is often called black fungus. it's usually a rare disease that attacks the skin, eyes and brain, or people with an impaired immune system or diabetes, or especially at risk covert 19 treatments with steroids could be making the problem worse. and leading to a spike in black, fungus cases. it's now been declared an epidemic and several indian states d. w member search. i will report from delhi sanchez, the high and has spent the last 2 months in and out of hospitals when her bed and got the good. you know why it was during the worst have been? yes. second. be she seed up nice desperately looking for oxygen cylinders and hospital that she to travel some 300 kilometer to jet,

was just to find her model. and i see you bit where she spent c v. a few days after returning home, her mother was hospitalized again. this time, because of mucous my formerly known as the black fung, i'm described, was over on the patients with eyes full and shocked, faces disfigured by light. steven surgeries made necessary to stop the head of the fun with a black fungus patient in the same room as her mother bled to death before her eyes . i'm says she cannot allow was fast but time to stop and process the straw mo icon is slow. 7 to even have the luxury to do them and because i have to keep going, have to do whatever it takes to keep going. i kind of gone to if i didn't, but that i think i'm supposed to behave like over stimulation because that was the black one. this has been declared and epidemic in dandy and several of the state in

india. it is not a new disease, but it occurred to me that pharmacies did not talk much of the drugs to treat it. used to receive around 2 or 3 requests for the injection, for this and for that if and be a week. but right now the, the mind went so high that it was more than 30 patients a day, and they were many looking for it. unless patients just even injection regularly, perceptibly the fungus can spread rapidly. each vial costs e d. as the demand has surged, the black market price has for drooping as prices for the anti founder job title. the government backed off to the pharmacy like the now manufacturers, i'm import supposed to be supplied directly to the group, but these supplies will be crucial as even a thing the miss dawn can be devastating. the more that causes the black list is

someone in the environment, but can also be found in on can you ventilators or oxygen in the these will use heavily during india. second. dr. romantic who cause these opportunistic infection, these when venue immunity is compromised, in this case, by the good one of iris and the over use of steroids used in its treatment. any misstep in treating the black fungus can be fatal. my causes has a high mortality, especially when patients who don't get diagnosed early enough, so it has more than 50 percent mortality, most of the time and all surgery, it's going to be disfiguring, especially when the common. but i do that, we see, i know that nuclear, where you have to remove the dead tissue from the face now of ice and other fungal infection that pre owned weakened immune system is also being reported. india could own about cases, maybe falling, but the deadly 2nd being has left 1000 vulnerable to many more section. for

more in the story, we can speak now to dr. jackie chandler, he's a microbiologist. he previously served as the head of the microbiology department at the government medical college and hospital and they got dr. chandler, thank you for joining us. you have been working on work on my coastal black fund, this as being cold for more than 20 years. and you've been warning about how dangerous it is. why are we seeing this big outbreak of cases linked to cove at 19 yes, we have many cases know where it is, is hang about 12000 cases at this moment. and it is unprecedented. and it is a sort of so i mean type of thing as put it in be a constant. india was having otherwise also more cases every year as compared to other countries. but during this call 19, at the main important point is number one is already this. second is indiscriminate

use of steve towards people. but the stewards or the counter they are taking put a long duration for higher doses. so this type of thing is inducing a temporary situation in the already and that precipitated the thing because this is a fungus, the mit have infinity 2 or the true or level. that is the height of the nuclear. michael is just case he's will be there. it may be period, i think it may be induced. so whatever it is, the reason the if the sugar level is higher then this milk michael's dad, which is called a black from the it. but it is not black fingers in that room. so if you draw the sugar level, then there is no problem. but if i could jump in there, i mean there are people in other countries with higher sugar level. so why are we seeing this? so nami, as you've called it in india, of new cases and not in other countries, other countries, that means it is not absolute 0 in those countries,

but the point is unprecedented. table number increment is not there in those can be in the surroundings video. so we have the same table, but the in india, the major concern is that this number 22, dirt number g, the other things mazda, not changing every day. and this may be a sport, the oxygen that job at for the minute that may not be clean. or straight that may be ruined. it has to be at one, but the point is that other additional points are there as far as the increment of the items and what needs to be done to ensure that this disease can be tackled effectively. first thing is that in mexico, so sufficient to move very high, the clinician to suspect this, the nuclear. michael says at the very earliest date of the patient when it arrives,

the patient lives in the o pretty or the war. second, derek, the most of the fungus by which or chemical road whitestone, which is very simple. it is everywhere in the hospital. microscope is everywhere, and it does not cost anything to the hospital or patient. it has to be demonstrative within a very short span of pain within half an hour. so we can do most of the on the 3rd thing we can do the surgical intervention be removed or the braid or cut down the neck or take area because this is a fungus, this is found in the blood vessels. it is not roaming in the blood, it is in reading the bird vessels, very unique creature. this fungus is concerned. ok if you do, but i did. and then you go for the treatment. that is the last part. if you do this as a protocol in your hospital, we have been following this protocol and within 2 hours we do the surgery and the shift on the end. if i'm going to send a liberal like to be right post,

and it's going to will have to leave it there. dr. jack, these tenders microbiologist, thank you so much. the free speech advocates and pakistan are raising the alarm after one of the country's most popular tv journalists was taken off the air in connection with a speech he gave, criticizing the country's powerful military talk. so host mirror was suspended from his regular program. after speaking out against growing attacks on journalists in the country, he demanded accountability from authorities. in particularly the military. it is not the 1st time near has faced trouble. he was seriously wounded in 2014. when gunman opened fire on his car, shooting him 3 times and d, w or porter b in his job, it is covering this story for us to be in. it's good to see you. can you tell us more about what exactly happened in this case?

ok, i would just start with a context i didn't focus on the state has become increasingly intolerant of critical voices. and there's a growing perception amongst buckets. any journalist that buckets anytime minister in ron hahn and the fall full military are going to silence any dissenting voices. a buck of any journalist was attack in his time about inside his home. he was severely beaten. and this sort of list said that because i think the fight themselves as members of bikers and by agency i as i and in one of the protest in support of this journalist, one of the largest and most popular talk show who is hum me without naming any names worn back if any general's that attacks on journalist must stop. and just based after the speech, he was taken off from his program, which is watched by millions of focused on these. so these developments have

definitely sent a chilling effect. have had a chilling effect on the journalists and buckets done. and we seen journalist expressing outrage in support of freedom of press. but these assaults on journalists that you mentioned be to have been going on for some time. so why are we seeing this outcry from journalists now? so the censorship has increased in last 3 years of iran government buckets. any media is facing a financial meltdown. news organizations that have been critical of focus on state institutions. they have been financially hit. there were instances where news channels were blocked on give networks and the distribution of critical newspapers were manipulated. there is also and hum if news case is not an isolated, gifted or leading well established in different buckets on. they are not allowed any time on buckets. any channels, they are not allowed to publish their opinion pieces on national newspapers. and

there is also a culture of infinity. and he was organized human rights organizations and organizations that support media wright's dad expressing their concern. so in many of the cases we're pockets on the journal that recently, for instance, a journalist was shot in his tom bought last year during this was at the doctor in the in slam, but none, none of the cases, the attackers have been arrested. i think now journalists, i think that this is too much, and they really need to speak up for what is happening in the country. so being in this atmosphere just quickly, if you can, how can critical journals continue to do their work? so there is censorship on the in stream media and journalist are now using social media to express themselves. but buckets and the government is coming up with a new law that would for the hamper freedom of the best in parties are not only on mainstream media, but also what's published on digital platform. spark is john if have expressed anger and they have rejected this new law,

almost all newspapers in pockets and published an article, a propositional against this law. but i would just say that there is defiance among journalists. there is a drawing unity among journalists and it seems and in this atmosphere they're standing up for themselves and are ready to face any pressure d, w report and finish job it. thank you very much for your reporting and thank you for watching goodbye. ah. the news, it's been ongoing quest for the spring began in 2011 people stood up against corrupt withers and dictatorship. all these moments have left the box in my memory.

i had hoped for more security, more freedom, more dignity, have their hopes fulfilled. 10 years after the arab spring, rebellion starts june 7th on d. w. the the germany's greatest poets johan was gone on. good one said that he liked to call architecture frozen music which invites us to consider the effect that architecture can have on the senses. well that is the gist of today's edition of arts and culture. so welcome. and we've got the stories coming up. the architecture that he'll the maggie center network of cancer support centers in the u. k. strive for spaces that enveloped us like an embrace. architecture that cheers will,

in base to ours is augustine. we have, she creates colorful, expensive neural transform, public spaces and buildings. but we are starting off with architecture to change the world because nothing less than that is. and i hearing a vision, she believes that can transform and improve lives on multiple levels, be a cultural, social, economic, environmental, or psychological. and she also sees sustainability as a synonym for beauty, which is why her material of choice is clay. something that comes straight from nature and endorse this, your fitness center in rosenheim, a city in the southern german states of the area looks like a huge burden. it's me that your of a large group seated willow, is designed by a hanging, a pioneer of sustainable construction. oh,

creates a pleasant indoor climate in germany. it's more expensive and conventional building materials and it still doesn't have a great reputation. in fact, chloe has many advantages. it's doors heat absorbs harmful substances and it's environmental friendly. what's the name is also water soluble, and that's a very important and wonderful quality because it can easily be recycled. clay can also be repaired very easily. if an edge breaks off, you just went in the same material to fix it by pressing it on top of the crack. so that was the end. it's available everywhere. it's literally beneath our feet moving to another. he can be worked with manually without the use of expensive machinery and of hearing a discovery or passion for the use of local resources. at the age of 19 a year brought him back with

a few years later she carried out her 1st construction project there. 0241. her 1st award for school and neutral for india. she designed for her thesis me ever since area here has been building with clea, with a clear conscience. initially in asia and africa. in 2013 construction began and these hospitals, me to frankly, students and bamboo in china. this was out of hearing your contribution to a long chat. international b and our design is reminiscent of chinese lanterns. she completed the daycare center in san parkway in 2014. 0, area. sustainable building concepts in demand worldwide. teachers at harvard immune a answering and is one of the few women to run her own architectural firm. again and again, she feels drawn back to bangladesh,

me participation and equal rights to the village. both men and women joined in to build this award winning 2 story therapy center for people with disabilities. law. the 1st building me to play in europe went up in 2016, a birthing room for other austria. ah, once the project is completed, she'll move on to the next construction site. this time and assessing in the last meeting how many color nuances clay has from reddish yellowish dark brown. you don't need any chemicals for this problem is that the cannibal alternative is always cheaper and that definitely have to change this pioneer,

sustainable building. those are still a long way to go later wholesale. my hope that architecture can really be a tool for improving living conditioning and bolstering social justice and cultural diversity. consider the suspect and, and can help preserve this planet for generations to children. and with every new design. and a hanger comes a little closer to achieving that goal. she may not change the world from one day to the next, but every step can looking back to history, it's quite obvious that the best architect. so those have understood that architecture and the human condition are tightly intertwined. and that the shape of and form of spaces, both interior and exterior, can dramatically impact our mental and physical well being. well, that was the thinking behind maggie's centers, and they enlisted the professions heavy weights to create places of refuge and healing. oh, this is maggie center in leads, england. it's

a place where cancer patients or their relatives can receive practical or emotional support during treatment. it was built on a hospital campus but stands out in stark contrast to the other buildings around the architecture and interior design with its soft curves are meant to be inviting to both patients and other visitors when people come here to take beautiful space, i feel really safe and calm away from the clinical area over at the hospital. in fact, when lead a thought was how it feels like a warm, fluffy bon cake keeping you safe. the interior of the center contains natural cereals, soft lighting, and numerous spaces design to encourage social interaction. the would use is sustainably forested bruise the walls are made out of poorest materials,

such as limestone, which help ventilate the building naturally. as you come into the center, obviously the big stair and we know that comes through as being shrouded in the christ a. but this gives the impression that we can be open about that. now when we can talk about cancer, and we can talk about that as a, a thing that's happening to people as they come into the center. but then we have much smaller space is that have no corners, so they envelop you as you go into the celia nice husband with recently diagnosed with leukemia. maggie centers helped her cope during his treatment. i have to bring my husband till after he doesn't drive. so the center has been incredibly helpful to me as a comfortable place to wait. while his having his treatment. maggie center and leads was completed in 2020 by british architect thomas heather wick. he

base the design on oversize garden planters with the goal of enhancing the greenery around the building. he says, architecture plays an important role in our well being. ah, this is really interesting for us because i think an issue of our time is how buildings affect us emotionally. and many buildings have failed us in the last century or so. emotionally, they've made bad places and you couldn't get a more extreme need for something that connects with people's emotions and feelings than a cancer care center. famous architects have taken part in designing the center centers, the high deed, frank geary. with this center and done the scotland. norman foster and rim cool has with this center in glasgow, scotland, american architect, daniel lee, but can't is working on the next maggie center in london, making it the 25th in the u. k. executive director named laura lee has been

a part of the center since the very beginning 25 years ago. so the 1st maggie center came about 3 women called maggie catholic gangs. maggie herself had a diagnosis of breast cancer and she didn't defied aspects of care that weren't being provided within our system. here in the u. k, the 1st center opened after maggie had died. when we were asked to work on other centers, other hospital grains, her friends who happened to be frank gehry, richard rogers norman foster. then offered to to help and who wanted to take part in providing a mikey center and different hospital gray and maggie center in li. just one example of how architecture can help in the healing process. ah, well speaking of healing, a smile can also have a therapeutic effect,

which is why soothing colors are cheery. images can transform a dr. cityscape. i could see know you could to enhance this buildings all over the glow with his monumental wall paintings and invite you not only to smile, but to linger in the italian city of south of rome. a giant meal being painted the city has commissioned agostino corte to redesign the library facade. this is my biggest mural so far. and so it was already a big challenge and those, so he's the 1st time i'm painting a full architecture on each side. so it's a kind of a dialogue between my paintings and the existing space. agostino you could, she has been working on the 700 square meter bureau for 12 days using about 300

leaders of paint. his idea is to reinterpret from the cultural heritage, drawing inspiration from the family and traditional stories augustine court. she liking style is composed of geometric shapes and vibrant colors and his neural can be viewed the world over. for instance, in type, hey, in taiwan, in the mexican city of monterey, on his craziest job so far on the metro station in the indian city of new delhi. since 2017, the italian had been living in berlin, where he not only focuses on paintings, but also works on sculptures and installations in his studio. he experiments with a variety of materials such as cluster of what my work

is very like kind of architecture are very simple, it's closer to drawing than to a painting somehow. and so the same i tried to play around with bought them. so i like this mix of nature and the key texture somehow. in the next season, he wanted me to build a bridge between the cities architecture and the modern world. the artist approach has one over artistic director, marcelo smiley, and that's what she thought, the quarterly guy. he has the great ability to take a traditions of ancient rome and painting. most of you to understand colleague around the in particular thought of thinking of roman policy on $580.00 it sort of old roger. as a result, he appealed to a broad audi. i didn't go to makes artic testable to, to experts on late people. even if i go ski,

know your art is not destined for the ages. the mural library and next year will certainly be seen for some years to come a breath of fresh air through arts and architecture. that's all for this time. so thanks for watching and all the best from us in berlin to the the the the, the ah,
