to the point, strong, clear positions, international perspective. one of the most international respected figures in germany's catholic church was offered his resignation to pope francis excited the catastrophe of sexual abuse by church officials. meanwhile, in canada mass going to visit his children to discover their former school to the point b, w. ah ah, oh, experts 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 to 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. me 7 year old ruth guy was accompanying his mother john done doing for him to work. like most days. due to 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, he checked, her son attended school for 6 months before authorities ordered. all schools closed no ruse. guy spends his time at his mother's kindergarten or at home,

attending virtual lessons. something the 2nd grader doesn't enjoy latoya to feel i preferred math classes in school. birth me 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, got a challenging situation for him to go. mother room car, struggle to stay focused in front of the screen. you know, 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, when you are losing touch with the outside world. over 10000000 turkish children and teenagers haven't attended school in month. they're only allowed to pack for exams like these people's stumble primary school. tell them how

many parents are fed up with the government? strict stance on schools. it's a big age and often educators should be their top priority. instead of holding conferences and party conventions without heating any corona restrictions, the education sector is being neglected. although we'll do 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 learn lessons, and not very effective. reading. basically last an entire year teaching. we never understood why schools supposedly pose a greater infection risk and cafes will restaurant look on color coffee. those are allowed to open. amanda turkish school closures have hit per families, like the lands hardest. some before 1000000 turkish school children don't have

internet access at home. that means mohammed azlan must rely on the educational programs on turkish state. television, left, you alone, put a sleep with money, can send the children to private schools and pay to to, to help the children catch up with all we can for them to the monitor. would it be me, can our children have to resort to educational television shows, look it up if it isn't wealthier. parents like sundown, good friend, i, finding turkey's 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, you live. and so can we expect all these children just to catch up once the pendant

mix for 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 would jeopardizing the future. it's kind of well knowing that educational obtainment and in particular, you're a higher education attainment. it's really, it's 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 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'll be 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 3rd wife, you know, at the global scale, we will still see that over 200000000 children are affected and that their schooling experience still learning has been interrupted. and even today, also in europe in countries such as your belgium, norway, for instance, schools are still often partially close. a 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 if 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, my children play where children sort of, you know, also can eat healthy for instance. that is one important function of a school besides learning education. and we know that school closures have had detrimental effects on the, on, 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 outcomes 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 technologies offer a lot of opportunities, but you know, most schools and teachers were not really equipped with knowledge and the right

tools to do 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 school. 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 impossible to learn properly. so we need to make sure that remote learning, you know, is sort of adjusted to the situation of the most disadvantages as children. one simple example can be if we give assignments 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

have from when for longer, thank you very much for being on the show today. happy to be there. thank you. lots of good advice there. time to hand you over to derick williams again. now science corresponded. he's got an interesting question today about coded and age. oh, how does the average age of patients in the severity of cubic 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 1st saying 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, love 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 treatments. 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,

coded 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 said, 4 different age groups. me. well, you're there, i'm bent as well, and thanks for watching. stay safe. as you again, ah, people in trucks injured was trying to see the city center more and more refugees are being turned away. families to be crated and treated people fleeing clean dreams

me the the berlin international film festival is back with outdoor cinema around the german capital and exciting moments after months of lock downs. and we'll have more on this years. berlin film festival or belly knowledge coming up in a moment. and later on, arts and culture. searching for the essence of beauty. why one photographer size

non traditional models or where's that? but 1st the belly, nala is one of the world's biggest film festivals, but in the movie industry, it's known as one of the coldest. normally in february, when the cities pads can be covered in ice. but this year with the corona, virus, things have changed. the main competition was on wine and the public screenings are also very different. puerto adrian kennedy, burning gramma movies, tracing off in minus temperatures, but this time i'm ready for it. but what's this skies and blazing sunshine? this is all rather strange. what's gone wrong or should we say, right? the answer is the phone and i'm a special which opened on wednesday with a girl,

a screening at an outdoor movie theater setup right next to the outer national gallery on berlin's museum island. with covey rates, folding the early dollars, organizers, gamble paid off. but what to film professionals? think of $30.00 in summer. i'm looking forward to and to have an audience, you know, in a different modem, the different mood. i don't know yet what to expect, but it's wonderful to be open air. so used to freezing for february and that's part of the process. yeah, yeah. this is way too nice for many of those lucky enough to get a ticket. it's the 1st time back in a cinema since the corona virus lockdown. i'm looking forward to go to the cinema again. i told my friends, tonight i go into cinema and says wants to test the testing. and

this is my 1st time this year that it can go in the cinema. the big question for many was should, depending on a summer edition, be a more permanent thing the next year or to enjoy and to be february. i also it's you know, whenever buddies breathing, they are always looking for a warm place to go. we should have to bud. so who knows perhaps till next summer. the area is back from the berlin international film festival summer edition adrian kennedy. adrian, the berlin film festival was originally in the summer 70 years ago when it started, before they switched to winter back in the seventy's. is there any chance of

bringing it back to summer? this is not very likely, and there are many reasons for this. most of them have to do with film industry requirements and the movie awards calendar. i've also this tier of the lyn quite likes it this way because it helps attract visitors to the city when otherwise hotels would be rather empty. but there is quite a lot of support for the idea of having a mini open edition of the festival in some, in order to let people have a 2nd chance to see some of the great film, some of the prize winning films. ok. speaking of those, what are your favorite movies this year? okay, well one that stuck in my mind was petite. my mom that's new film phone. so the fioma who made the wonderful portrait of a lady on fire, won many awards back in 2019, including the queer poem channels. this one is actually quite different. it's

a sort of a ghost story, an utterly charming, very gentle, quiet sale of a girl who meets her mother as a child in the woods, great performances from 2 girls who are in real life twins. and i love this morning. and the twins are apparently a theme this year as about a dollar less. so there's another film that i like, the go and the spine. and this is written and directed by twin brothers mon, and silver and 0 show another pretty low key, but quite mesmerizing film about a splintering relationship between 2 young women and a spider who lives in the apartment they show and nothing film but one that really caught my attention because of the images and the atmosphere, and i kind of

a very strange sort of manager toy looks like. okay, you've got time for a 3rd pick. adrian, what is it for that? it has to be tina, there's nothing low key about this. one is a blistering documentary about the sing tina turner from the cotton sales of tennessee and abusive relationship with husband and fellow musician ike turner, to professional success as one of the world's biggest rock stars. and ultimately, she finds personal contentment. i defy anybody not to be moved by her story. well, strong words, adrian ok. some really strong films as well. screening out doors tell us a little bit more about that. there's some pretty cool locations, right? and that's why and the locations really do add something. this time around and the weather has been perfect. so far. we've seen the museum island location. there's

also a silent green and spin new house in the former cremmit tore him in the vending neighborhood screenings that will take place in the picturesque courtyard. nother very scenic, back for, for the building. some, a special landmark last shot and a rock palace built in the late 17th century. there screaming episodes from new tv series. and last night it was turn of issue. and when the under knee and the other starting, tom shutting looks like love where you think it's hard to believe the belly, not a could take place without long underwear and war codes. but there it is. adrian kennedy, thanks for bringing us that. thank you. well, as world leaders had for the g 7 summit in england, they'll be stared down by a giant sculpture of themselves. it's called mount recycle more and it's made out of use computers, telephones, and other electronic waste. just

a small fraction of the 50 tons of waste that people produce. each year artist joe rush says he hopes to sculpture will inspire leaders, including german chancellor. i'm going to medical and us president joe biden to tackle the global trash problem as they meet for talks. across the bed, their key messages to each other, each other, and so dismissed out in greece, debate as raging, almost as hot as the athens son of a new pathway on the acropolis to make the site accessible to people with disabilities. and by the way, to cut down on the number of visitors who trip and injure themselves each year. now that sounds good to many, but some politicians and scholars say the path ruins the ancient sites. classical aesthetic. greek opposition leader alexis tipp, us even accused the government of abusing greece's cultural heritage.

photographer, christina, about ac siena says that growing up in russia, she saw women valued more for their physical beauty than for their character. and it was always the same ideal of beauty. now the london based artist focuses on women's beauty that doesn't meet one narrow standard and not just beauty, but resilience and self discovery. people with disabilities with different skin colors, sexual orientations and cultural backgrounds. diversity in front of the camera, staged by a photo artist. the me a photo shoot in london with an indecent potential angel in deal 1st born with alpine ism and with milly, ellis brown, a person who identifies as neither male nor female. they are oem users of russian photographer, christina vaccine. okay,

very good. thank. i started working with just women, but then i realize that this, this whole topic is actually much broader and non binary and transgender people who experience very similar issues and their voice system. i've been hardly there how we see ourselves and the values that we approach ourselves with can be very different from what the society wants us to, to, to see, and to be a sense of beauty is the name of this photo project seen as aim is to highlight people who are often under represented and she wants to establish a concept of beauty that goes beyond the current standards close to so many voices are suppress and to be given option, if you share your story powering the models that i have

today. shan, very important to me is that strength, that they've been able to understand themselves and find their place in the world and believe in themself and love themselves except their own money. their own uniqueness, the rock has earned international a claim for her photographs which are exhibited in galleries from new york to moscow. before moving to london and 2019, she worked in the us for 10 years, photographing people like artist, marcia th, of with the lockdown self portrait shave head. she won the dutch lens culture critics choice prize in 2020. that same year, she became the silver winner at the british association of photographers awards with the photo cat grace. the direction is photo studio is open to. she finds her photographic subjects through

social media, acquaintances, and agencies, both and then d, from the timble, and joanne dion have worked at models before. i think it's imperative that we have different types of beauty and different standards, acknowledged because we live in a world for the different diverse people. so it's important to have that massive discussion about females and cost as being a woman and needs to change the office 2021. it's time for change and iraq senior wants to support that change with her photographic works and a little more with your shoulder. i didn't lose being able to understand people can be different, they can feel different about themselves. we need only the reminder of that. so i

think just having that some diversity is really, really important. christina is roxanne i plan to portray a total of 30 people for her project. the essence of beauty. the me for more stories head over to d, w dot com slash culture. now from me and the crew here in berlin, its been great having you with us, take care and see you next time for more i think i'll check the news. the news. the news
