ensure that all of us really want to go, i mean, we are longing to get everything back to normal, but we can't take risks when we are enough. probably $900.00. so we need to be very, very careful and that's why i'm not. but others are calling for permanent into these months. the outcomes shuttling saturday paperwork between brussels in strasburg once a month. course, the 100000000 years per year. not to mention the environmental impact any change, however, road no redeem as leaves preparing some revenues, meals in its food truck, hoping to drum up business from returning parliamentarians and this stuff because contin service inside the building will remain restricted. you can, can you put a monkey, you as somebody from parliament to contact me. and i said yes. and so we'll make the firm and we'll see how it works. experience for walk in the press going to john beck in business, preparing to report life to households all over europe. but after all these months

in the virtual world, if the repeat parliament forever changed as he was full of new experiences. you know, we became addicted to zoom and of excellence fun so it will not be so easy to come out. so despite the fact that we're coming back and just and just rip, just borders is really symbol of coming back to normal lety. but i think that normal little bit different from what it was you know. yeah. go in downtown strasburg, business owners, hope the future won't be digital only in some believe the old fashioned appeal of good food and drink could new or more politicians spec interested? i thought we were waiting for them with our hearts. we would like everyone to come back and to regain the lines we had for that going to be i've also to plus transfer, playing house to the european parliament is the source of income. but it's also a source of pride in part of its history. in the heart of europe,

people in parts of the northern hemisphere have been treated to a solar eclipse event is known as an annual or, or ring of fire eclipse. only people in remote areas of eastern canada, greenland and siberia were able to see it in full. but many others were able to say a partial eclipse where the moon doesn't cover the thumb completely. and hits tell us more as matthew kabuki, he's a meteorologist and journalist for the washington post and he joins us now from washington. they say, matthew, not in any of those parts of the world where you could say the full eclipse. but were you able to see some of the partial eclipse where you are? i was walking by 530 this morning because the turn right around sunrise. so as some people got this kind of shape, like some smiling, that's really nice to see. you know, the next time we'll see that won't be until october 14th, 2023 for a couple more years or really nice job this morning. unfortunately,

the only one most places i know that you cannot as russia in person really as well, but really angle there and bring the fire part wasn't seen by many of regardless, really ways birthday. how does this ring of fire eclipse differ from other eclipses? yeah, that's where the fire occurred. what's called africa. it's a little farther over the ball and the guy. now remember, the sun is 400 times wider than the moon, forms for the late the ordinarily moving on roughly the same size with god. and that's all you have to move the fully boxes around that didn't occur. he did the moon with a little bit smaller sky. so he tried to block, like you may just follow the ring inside, but that's enough that knowing ring a fire making for an otherworldly lucky enough. and now the

sun is only partially obscuring the moon. it's never a good idea to look straight into the sun. is it what's the best way to say one of the eclipse eclipse? yeah, so many folks. you're actually the last left of the august 21st 2017. that was a lot of folks who have their glass. so i think a lot of people reduce them that, that if you don't have the black, your pricing, you can actually look in the shade of 3 gap, the li, active little, whole projector. back. he passed an example of what looked like down below us shape shape. let's see, multiple ways to enjoy it. but the best way to get to the last ever done to get my glasses to 2023 prepared. now then matthew cut 30 journalists and solar solar eclipse enthusiast. thanks for being with us. of a natural phenomenon in the heavens to the pleasures of nature here on earth,

do depend demik travel restrictions. german filmmaker john half was forced to give up far flung destinations and focus his lands instead on the wonders of the german country side. the result can now be seen in a new documentary. he hopes will inspire others to appreciate beauty in their own backyard. ah, tackler, nature images from germany. the depending me, finding something positive in the pandemic is almost cynical when it's but of course the fact that we all had to stay home means we now value the nature that surrounds our homes or villages and our towns even more because we've spent more time here than usual, one, for instance, many germans have come to appreciate germany's north sea coast over the past year. thanks to title activity. it's one of the most bio diverse habitats in the world

with about 10000 species of animals and plants. nature, filmmaker young half has filmed the migratory birds that visit the mud flaps by the millions. says nature in germany has great diversity and a wide variety of habitats. his cinematic journey took him all over the country, which he describes in his book. it's titled home of the tour using a german term, meaning home or homeland. a word not everyone feels comfortable with because it's been misused by far right nationalists. we finish my now for most of us, the word high math triggers a pleasure and cozy feeling that we shouldn't just give it up to the wrong group. so appropriate it for themselves. when i use the word high, i want to draw in those who simply want to experience a positive feeling with their homeland and put your li live in northern germany, the epitome of homeland nature is the, he's a natural paradise. but it's actually the man made here. everything is

interconnected. the smallest animals benefit from the dozens of the big ones. the insects developed in their droppings, flexible, had it done beatle. ah, this flower sophisticated strategy due to a lack of nutrients. it doesn't produce nectar. instead, learning pollinators with just color and shape, the bumblebee falls for the deception. it doesn't find food, but helps the flour by taking it pollen with it. young half is passionate about making nature felt. his protagonists are animals and plants that are native to germany. and he highlights just how special they are. by using time lapse and extreme slow motion techniques, he makes both slow and fast processes visible to the human eye. oh, it can phone. i'm still driven by a curiosity about nature and

a child like joy. i don't need to go looking for rarities or peculiarities. i'm fascinated by the connections between species. and you can observe that anywhere, even in the smallest package of nature, you can almost do it on a balcony with a few of them by come. for his films, young husk sometimes sits in a camouflaged hunter's blind for days. but history are rare and beautiful images of those who knows we have earth worms in our country that grow over half a meter long and listens bruce forest floors in the black forest eating spruce needles and the biggest earth warm in europe. the allies, who knows that we have a square earthworm that live under water on the bottom of streams and rivers in lake z. my favorite earth warm as of course, the green earth wind warm. we encountered a clinics, the lakes and film day. i need to talk to who native nature which also feeds us is threatened. resources are limited and

the habitat for animals and plants is endangered. young huffed sees it as his task to draw attention to that even overshot the mark. and we're only slowly realizing that because when we leave our house visits, green smells good. it's lush and beautiful. and you can hear birds singing because it showed him. and it's not so easy to see that there are significantly fewer birds . and that the bird songs are more monotonous because individuals from the orchestra, individual soloists from the bird world, are now missing from the middle of the sea. and that's the case with almost all species. and it's something we need to be aware of. and we need to sort out our social order and get to a point where hopefully we live more sustainably in this country and hopefully not . hi, yolanda o yon huffed work is a plea to not always go far afield to see nature. quite spectacular. things happen

in germany to even on a small scale i britton's queen elizabeth has not what would have been her late husband, 100th birthday, the monarch was presented with a floral surprise. the royal horticultural society gifted her arose named off the prince philip that you convent, who died in april, if not just a single rose that bears his name, but of a ride, eat bread in his own. rose is a deep pink with delicate white lines. and watching database the news coming up next in d, w, and use asia islamic education will soon be compulsory. and nearly all schools across pakistan, educators a warning of a fundamentalist shift led by prime minister iran calm and desperate to work. how long will the corona virus stall? india's informal me, the stories coming up and date of the new age and others get,

the basis of the news a show coming up today. so my vision of education impact is on. that's the charge being level that the government, as it makes stubbing the holy court on compulsory across schools in the country. and notice education. this tells me it's because of the countries leadership is a fundamentalist basis. absolutely. no doubt about that. and he says that he wants regular schools and moderate size to have the same curriculum and migrant workers returning to cities are facing of jobs shortage in an economy. that's by the quote on a lot of span demik the i'm british vanity. welcome to the dublin, use a sure glad you could join us schools across most focused on our set to make the

teaching of the holy koran compulsory from later this year. students will be expected to read the entire quote on width translation. learn islam make pres, and memorize the number of things of the prophet mohammed. the move comes just months off of the country. senate made arabic language teaching mandatory in schools in the capital. some of the credits accused the government of cow towing. that is stomach parties with these plans. studying already keeps zenith and her friends busy the whole day. but very soon there is mom about school will add another subject arabic. venus wants to study art in the future. she's not interested in a new required language at all. already in a corporate situation, it's really hard for us to study and go over those are subjects and adding epic as the come both 3 subjects. it's really hard. the government argues that the

new curriculum will help students understand the koran better and provide future job opportunities in the middle east. but many students in the capital region already have to learn 2 languages or do an english. they say adding a 3rd and a pandemic is just too much. educational reformers are also raising concerns. the actual reason that we see is that during this government, there has been a trend towards islam was ation of cation. and in august, another government mandate goes into effect making islamic education, compulsory in nearly all schools. it's part of a new single national curriculum. a move liberal reformers also born will increase the influence of religious clerics and fuel intolerance. vehicles passing vincent good day. this is to power that now the clergy actually free use

that it has said it can dig up this name and the this will be passed. so for example, all the blasphemy laws in pakistan but fast, just like that. a human rights group has challenged, the curriculum changes and the nation's highest court over concern for religious minorities come august, pocket sunny youth. no matter there, belief could potentially have no choice in the matter. joining me for more now, it's part of a's who by he's a nuclear physicist and a noted education is to join different markets on the capital, some above. welcome mister hu bye. how fair is the claim that these recent moves by the government points to an eastern migration of education in the country? well, it's not just islam. i zation, it's islam i zation at a frantic pace. it's fodder, speedier now than it was in the days of general our lot who started this trend to

its infusing religion into every level of education. so that now is faster than ever before. and it's at several different levels that the school level, the primary level, the middle high school, and then it goes all the way up to university at the university level, you cannot get a degree whether that be a bachelor's, a master's, or a ph. d. without studying the and without taking an exam on the or that was a unanimous decision of the job assembly last lie that he's in 2020 at the school level. the changes are absolutely frightening for someone who believes that children should be able to think for themselves. here are their big propagandized at the pace never seen before. right. so what you're saying that the

government of mr. ron khan is trying to appease islamic parties with these was i suppose that is a major reason, but it is also that even harm is a fundamentalist. there's absolutely no doubt about that. he says he's proud to be fundamental it's. he says that he wants to make pakistan the state of medina, re asset medina. and he said this in his opening speech is repeated at about a dozen times so far. and he says that he wants regular schools and mother size to have the same curriculum. he says they should not be a difference between them. and so, well, you are right that he wants to appease the extreme right. but he's always so pretty the right himself. i mean, it's quite a thing to say, but if you don't mind me,

pointing out that the prime minister of focus on is fundamental is but then to go back to the point about the teaching of the holy koran in schools, but is on, is at the end of the day and it's language republic. what is wrong with the holy koran being taught in schools? oh, if it's stored at home there's no problem. but if, if, if you, in, if you make the education and public schools and private schools back of the mother size, then you don't have all hope of being with the modern world. if you're not expected to. and this is i'm being very factual about it. they are, children are being expected to remember not just the, or i'm in our big but the translation in or do they being required to learn how this is an arabic with translations. i am

a bar from it all a sudden them of a prayers, like what prayer to say. while climbing up of like a stairs. what to say. when you walk down, what should you say at the beginning of a meal? what if you but these, it's become absurd. the amount of religion that is being thrust into our children right is incorrect. and what is this going to lead to a nation, which is which is anchored in the 7th century. so what you're also saying is that the government of pockets on is reading the future of pockets on through the children. this is what i have been saying and my colleagues have been saying now for the 3 years that the government adstream empower. and these govern government is adamant. it says that only by making the education of

the mother of size, which is slamming seminaries, the same as that of the regular schools, in fact removing different differences between them. and this is what is called the single national curriculum. only in this way can we hope to get to slammed republic with all the good things about it and so forth. there is no, this sort of education is simply going to take us back into the dark ages period, so we'll have to leave it there for the time. but thank you so much for joining us, sir. ah and ask about us lockdown and health situation have been particularly unsettling for some 100000000 indians. it's migrant workers. those who leave rural areas for cities in such a work as masons, retail workers delivery, dr. essex in the last year. many have been forced back to their villages. however,

some of the getting to the time looking for jobs. but in india, capital delhi, for instance, there aren't enough available really read laborers gather every morning to find work. do you all usually is one of them. he's an unskilled migrant laborer who has been working in the informal sector in the capital for almost 6 years. but times are tough for him. he was left without any work when he went into lockdown after the city was hit by the 2nd week of school with 19 we're barely getting any work. there is so much unemployment. many of a laborers also come back from the villages. they wait for a job every day, but there just isn't enough work. your guest says he finds casual work, only one or 2 days a week. hardly enough to make a living. others had better luck. decent on sunday is

a migrant worker who skills as a nice and have landed him a job at a construction site. we're facing a very difficult time, but it work is not like a regular white college up, which is hard to find. as things open up in construction starts, we will get some small jobs because we know the work boundary says that if there is another major disruption from a 3rd wave, he would have to take loans to survive. as the city begins to open up again with some economic activities, revealing many also migrant workers have made their way back into the city and hope to find the world. but so not much is coming. and according to a new study, it's not being fall, especially with the suffering yet again. but millions of people in the country have lost their job, and the all been unemployment rate have sort of the economists. but how could thing says the problem is much they go,

he says that many migrant workers are choosing not to come back at all and are dropping out of the workforce because this the few opportunities of finding employment. and he thinks any recovery will take time. it's not though why the cycles did their minds. the economic type of it is basically the larger effect of the 1st 3 still lingering. and it will compound with the 2nd 3rd, and they can possibly get into a bigger effect. it will take longer time for the economy to, for the labor market to, for the employment needs to come to the nominal or non gauge. the unskilled worker remembers how last the millions were left. jobless during the national lockdown. some of them never found work again, he feels that the scene we happen to him. i'm thinking that if i don't get work soon, i'll go back to my village and it looks like i might have to just seems to be no

work right now. it was another day with no job for jo gauge. he will be back again at the same spot tomorrow morning waiting for work. but he doesn't know how much longer he can hold out. and he has a few more updates from india on the colonel nevada situation. on thursday, the country reported more than 6000 debts, the world's highest, every single day. death told from the crow nevada this was offered an official recount in the state of the heart. the w t o has agreed to intensify talks over a proposed fatal waiver, uncovered 19 vaccines. india and south africa have led gold for the wave as to increase vaccine supplies in the world. and is of course, mockery nevada's updates on our website, d, w dot com, forward slash a shout back tomorrow. at the same time, we'll see you then bye bye. ah, was

expert, say school closures were a necessary evil to slow the spread of the corona virus. the thing affected 80 percent of children worldwide forcing most of the study from placing an extra non parents modern technology helped in many cases. but not all the pandemic could see millions of children left behind. can generation covered, make the grade and what happens after school? are we talking about permanent damage? will this affect students chances on the job market? all questions for our guest in a moment. first, this report. the 7 year old ruse guy was accompanying his mother, john dunn duvering to work like most days juicer,

the panoramic turkish schools have been shut for over a year. john don runs a private kindergarten on the outskirts of his stumble there occasionally allowed to open. unlike schools, in china or stone attended school for 6 months before authorities ordered, all schools closed now, ruth guy spends his time at his mother's kindergarten or at home attending virtue lessons. something the 2nd grader doesn't enjoy latoya to feel i preferred math classes in school. but i like to be, you know, teachers sometimes got angry at us for the past year. remote learning has been the new normal for ruth scar, a challenging situation for him and his mother roost. carson struggle to stay

focused in front of the screen, but he still can't read or write properly. the kids have lost interest in everything. they don't want to leave the house anymore again in the or losing touch with the outside world. over $10000000.00 turkish children and teenagers haven't attended school in month, they're only allowed to bike for exams, like these pupils at an stumble primary school. so that many parents are fed up with the government strict stance on schools. it took a small educators to be their top priority instead of holding conferences and party conventions without heating any corona restrictions. the education sector is being neglected on a real while most of the european countries have tried avoiding school closures

took his education and science workers union. warren's turkish pupils are falling behind language. lessons are not very effective. reading basically last an entire year of teaching. we never understood why schools supposedly posed a greater infection risk and cafes restaurant look on color coffee, that those are allowed to open. amanda turkish school closures have hit per families, like the lands hardest from $4000000.00 to school. children don't have internet access at home. that means mohammed azlan must rely on the educational programs on turkish state television. what do you all put up with money? can send the children to private schools and pay tutors to help their children catch all. can we come before him? did the most ever be, can our children have to resort to educational television shows look good even if it isn't wealthier parents, like shanda and good friend are finding turkeys. economic situation increasingly

difficult to john done says more and more parents are taking the youngest out of kindergarten. if the trend continues, she may go out of business. but mothers are even worse for turkey. school children . they are the ones paying the highest price in this pandemic. when for longer is assistant professor of social policy at the belgian university k u journey. and so can we expect all these children just to catch up once the pendant mixed with the overall? are we looking at long term effects, for example, job prospects? well, i have to say, i'm afraid we are looking really at these long term effect in terms of educational obtainment in terms of jobs prospect. and if we don't try to mitigate the impact of the school closures on the most vulnerable children, students, i'm afraid we'll be jeopardizing the future. it's kind of well known that educational obtainment and in particular you're a higher education attainment is really is really important for you later job

prospect. and so if those children don't have this higher education attainment, you know, they will have trouble finding decent jobs later on in their life. and this might reinforce this cycle off of inequality that we are witnessing just how many children are we actually talking about? how many schools were closed during the pandemic? well, you know, at the peak of the 1st way, from april 2020, we've been talking about one and a half 1000000000 children worldwide, who have been affected by these by this school closures. but even today, after a 2nd wave and sometimes a turd wife, you know, at the global scale we are, we, we still see that over 200000000 children are affected and that their schooling experiences to learning has been interrupted. and even today, also in europe, in countries such a germ your bell to norway, for instance, schools are still often partially close to many students still have to deal with

remote learning. so it affects a lot, a lot of children on a global scale. absolutely. when we've been talking about learning and also the fact that these kids have been having a hard time and having to catch up. but what about something as important as social skills that kids also learn at school, which are so important later on in life? yes, i mean, i mean, i mean, i mean the schooling outcomes are very important, of course, but schools are more than that, as we all know. right. else is social places, social environments, places where children meet older children, children play, where children sort of, you know, also can eat healthy for instance. that is one important function of a school besides learning and education. and we know that school closures have had detrimental effects on the, on the, on that part as well on that account as well. and of course, affecting those most foldable children, those most disadvantages children who, you know, who stand to gain the most from having social context with other children. so this

is absolutely a problem as well. besides, you know, the learning outcome issue. so give me some solutions. what are we going to do about this can, can we change the situation? well, i think, you know, one of the key lessons that we learned is if we switch to remote learning, learning needs to continue. i mean, i'm absolutely convinced that digital technology is offer a lot of opportunities, but know most schools and teachers were not really equipped with knowledge and the right tools to offer high quality remote teaching. so one thing we need to do is we need to really start improving the competencies of teachers and schools. we need to invest in digital infrastructure of schools. so if we switch to remote learning at learning can continue for all children that all children can access high quality remote teaching. but of course, you know, we know that many children grope and disadvantage families, proper references in environments which are detrimental for learning. if you have

to follow online courses with 5 children in one room, for instance, you know, it's possible to learn properly. so we need to make sure that remote learning, you know, is sort of adjusted to the situation of the most disadvantage as children. one simple example can be if we define means to children, for instance, in a remote teaching environment, make sure that it is possible. it is feasible for these children to make their assignments on paper. that's one very simple solution that we can implement. you heard from when for longer. thank you very much for being on the show today. happy to be there. thank you. lots of good advice. their time to hand you over to derick williams again. now science corresponded. he's got an interesting question today about coded and h. o. we average age of patients in the severity of cuba, 1900, changed since the beginning of the pandemic. this is such

a complex question on so many different levels that it's nearly impossible to really answer adequately and i can't, but i'm happy to talk about why. first thing that we can track averages implies that we had adequate surveillance measures in place from the very beginning of the pandemic. but we didn't, it took months to get large scale testing up and running, even in the industrialized world. so the statistics from the early days in particular about how many people of what age actually have the disease and how badly they have to be taken. not just with a grain of salt, but with a whole handful live it. and in many countries, those statistics still do. then there are a host of other slippery variables, for example, that doctors have gotten a lot better at treating cove at 19,

as the pandemic progress and, and they gained experience with those st. finally, the introduction of vaccines to different age groups at different times in different countries. that's also changed. pandemic dynamics and ways that make blanket statements really just pretty untenable. just to illustrate, let's look at the situation here in germany. one thing we know for sure is that the older you get, the more dangerous and potentially deadly contracting, proven 19 becomes that hasn't changed. what has changed here is that as the vaccine drive progresses, an increasing number of high risk people. so those over the age of 50, they're protected by vaccine induced immunity. in the most recent wave in germany, which is hopefully the last, a lot of doctors, anecdotally reported that they believed the average age of patients in intensive

care had dropped pretty dramatically compared to earlier ways. but the actual statistics are kind of hard to interpret. one complicating factor, for instance, is that if a younger person ends up in intensive care, there are a lot more likely to survive for weeks before they recover or, or die occupying a bed for much longer than a more frail elderly person might. but those kinds of trends are specific to here. they can't really be applied to other countries because they depend on a wide range of factors. everything from the state of hospital infrastructure to the vaccine priorities that germany has. 4 different age groups, me, derek williams. there, i'm ben says all and thanks for watching face and see you again. ah,
