the course there was still plenty to celebrate. the emotional highlights of these in, in the 2nd part of our rehab. in 60 minutes on d, w. me a 2nd wave of code 19 india hard case numbers look like they're falling restrictions. the reason. so is india ready? shops, businesses and public transport or opening in daily people in mom, bike and catch a movie at the cinema. still the countries, vaccination drive is sluggish, and testing isn't widespread. experts, one case numbers in dance are being under reported. they say it's too soon to live

restrictions. welcome my benefits all and after almost 2 months locked down to delhi, the construction sector is one of the 1st to reopen it relentlessly on migrant neighbors who have been returning to the big city from the villages in the hope of finding. what do you use when you were a child or you sent us this report? nearly we laborers gather here 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 time for him, he was left without any work. when delhi went into lockdown after the city was hit by the 2nd week of school with 19 i'm, we're barely getting any work. there is so much unemployment. many other labors 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. economist come, thing says the problem is much bigger. he says that many migrant workers are choosing not to come back at all and are dropping out of the workforce because this a few opportunities of finding employment. and he thinks any recovery will take time. it's not go why the cycle will determine the economic type of it is basically the larger effect of the 1st 2 is still lingering. and it will compound with this 2nd 3rd, and possibly get into a bigger effect. it will take on longer time for the economy to, for the labor market, for the employment needs to come to the non renew. on the gauge, the unskilled worker remembers how last the millions were left. jobless during the

national knocked down. some of them never found work again. she feels that the same thing happened 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 your case. he will be back again at the same spot tomorrow morning waiting for what, what he doesn't know how much longer he can hold out. so here we are again talking about lives and livelihoods, whether or not to open or reopen with rajeet to school, the chairperson of the center of social medicine and community health and j and you, in delhi. last time we spoke a couple of months ago, the situation was dia, thousands were dying every day. hospitals will close to collapse. they run out of oxygen. how are things now? hello ben, good evening from new delhi. last time they spoke, yes it was, dies traits. this time of cause people have decided to leave. notwithstanding the

losses. each family has gone through things, certainly a lot better now. but typically in most of the high incidence state economy, different sectors of the economy, as you said, are opening up and the challenge before electrician as well as administrators, is how to balance the needs of lights and lightning. i think the key challenge at this point is maintaining the, the corporate preparedness, but also making workplaces safer from the corporate point of view. you sound quite optimistic in your judgment of the situation, but the debt was only spiking again, just a few days ago. i mean, we had the highest numbers reported so far of last week, but that, that has certainly been high. as i said,

it's been very painful for most each and every family up last week that that goes to be understood in the context that several states actually reviewed and audited. that goes sometimes under directions from their respective high court. and therefore, some of these corrections of actually taken place. it's not that the absolute number of that in the preceding week has been that high. and yet therefore, the that's, that we ended up with a certainly higher than it seemed. and some more states are going through this correction or the process and the tally could actually be a little higher than even what it seems now. well, the health department and be how one of the india is poor states revised it's total covered related death toll from some 5 and a half 100298 half 1000 on wednesday last week. what's going on is this down to, under reporting in some places. that is certainly an element of

under reporting. this is not necessarily to, to indicate that, that this is been deliberate, but it's part of the system coping up. there is also the advisory board last year as early as april 2020, as to what counts as a corporate depth. and it seems that the clarity of that document of, of those definitions. and certainly some of the top tech of those definitions perhaps didn't, didn't really, didn't really tell you what, what departments are actually doing. and therefore, as in the case of the heart, the high court of law actually asked for this audit review process. and it's a and then there's this, this change, or the optic in the figures is really a combination of that. what about this highly infectious delta barry?

and if i, if i can part in that well the, the variance, which is actually the lineage of b 6171 was identified in india earlier this year in the southeastern districts of the very last year. it's now subsequently swept through. so several states including the lead the lead actually has been, has been affected both by the alphabet and as well as by the delta variant. and therefore a lot of what we witness in the 2nd 3rd and india does, does a lot. so the, to the damage caused by the variant and therefore in there has now gone to this very large, maybe have gained in that experience. states have woke up with, with this in various manners. and we certainly see that the

ready and lead subsiding in most states, including the limo, my as the, the report indicated. and therefore, therefore, life is certainly limping back to normal state. you mentioned before the businesses and not giving enough attention to preventing the spread of coven 19 in the workplaces the economy reopened. is, is india on top of this? is the country taking the right steps? i believe making workplace a safe. and by this work less, i do not just mean office spaces but, but in fact, all walks of economy, people are working in your environments. that's something which we really need to focus a lot more beyond the usual platitudes of maintaining distance, etc. because in real life situations, workplaces not defend into this is draw off of many countries in the world. aside from those who actually have the option of working from home,

those are actually need to be physical in workspaces. do face a lot of risk, anecdotally, these are the people who have suffered much of the brand in the 2nd wave. and therefore, we really need to do a lot more on making work less a safer just going beyond washing hands and so on. because the structural issues of the buildings, the rooms, the ventilation, the air conditioning systems that are there are available. these certainly need a lot more attention and detail. ok. you heard it from roger, the sculptor from the center of social medicine and community health. thank you. thank you, man. we talked about it before for several weeks. it was referred to as the indian variance. i know if i were indian, i'd take offense. it was a long, complicated lineage category, but now it's cold. dealt him on that with derek williams and his fuel question. ball is to be 16172 very smoothly.

this one is no contagious. oh, this variance of concern which has been designated delta under a new naming system recommended by the w h. ho. it was 1st identified several months ago in india, and it has subsequently been found in many other parts of the world. although final proof is still missing, there's significant evidence that be 16172, or delta is a lot more transmissible than the original version of the virus and, and even more contagious than the the alpha barrier that hit some countries hard. last winter. in particular, britain, they are, delta is now causing fresh concern after the country plans to leave locked downs behind on on june 21st. delta is estimated to be causing around 9 in 10

cases in a new surge in the u. k. were still flying blind in many places when it comes to tracking the spread of specific variance and tying them, for instance, to, to hospitalisation. that makes it hard to currently say with any certainty whether the delta variant causes more severe disease. but the evidence is mounting, but it possibly does. britton's responsible agency said that it's early data indicated that people who got the delta variance for more than 2 and a half times more likely to end up hospitalized than those who had contracted the alpha variant. and, and chinese officials, according to the new york times, have also said more patients in a new outbreak linked to the delta variant. there are showing up at hospitals more severely or critically ill so. so evidence would appear to be mounting that the

delta variance is indeed more dangerous, especially to people who haven't received at least one dose of vaccine, but health care authorities. and many scientists don't think the evidence is robust enough yet to make an unequivocal case. me ah, you ready to get all the places in europe are smashing all the record into a venture? just don't lose your grip. the treasure map for modern globe trotter's cover? some of us are wicker great and also in book form. the little guys,

this is the 77 percent the platform for african used to be issues and share ideas. ah. you know we in north africa population, if we try and young people clearly have the solutions, the future the 77 percent. now, every weekend on the w we don't want to see them putting our, their street, our water, our here. your eyes to the now were new global 3000 series. the threats you're facing,

the heroes taking the stands is not that important to make up the global $3000.00 series starts june 21st on d, w. the once a year dw invites the media to join some of the world's most influential innovators and educators to debate issues that affect the c s. d. w. global media for the 14th was opened by the german chancellor herself. we have to keep carefully think welcome to arts and culture. d w global media forum is in full swing in the german city of born and virtually this year the theme is disruption and innovation. there

are dozens of sessions on the agenda, our topics including can digitalization, strengthen democracy stuff, social media, help or hinder the drive towards equality and how has it impacted journalism and the out on the african continent. let's take a look at some of the highlights so far. me for the 14th time of politicians, artists, journalists, scientists, and influences have come together in germany as former parliament buildings in bond, deutsche about global media for the forum as a space to debate. the hot button issues shaping the world. but the ongoing global cove in 1900 pandemic has had an impact on this year's event, which is a mostly online affair. among those taking part virtually are turkish writer and political scientist. fuck whose criticism of the turkish state has forced her into exile so far? sharp and precise analysis of her homeland has made her

a leading force in the fight for justice and freedom of speech. we are living in the age of anxiety. i think it's like an existential unc. we're living in the age of anger, fear, frustration, but also we are living in the age of change and we know that change is possible, so it's a be interesting moments like in between. i call it the old world is no more, but the new world is not for you. and we are in the middle. and that is a difficult place to be in because it's pull up. amid this uncertainty, fact believes that writers have a social responsibility to stand up and be hurt. if you happen to be right. because sees you do not have the luxury of saying, you know what, i'm going to talk about what's happening outside the winder. because we rise to

disconnect it from the societies where we come from. the social media isn't the focus at the global media for him with guests, including bloggers and influencers, like really been that. he's got 41000000 followers worldwide, including 17000000 in brazil. bloggers like him are playing an increasingly important role in combating political lives and distortions. nato has become a sharp critic of brazilian president. you're both in our right now. what brazil is facing a very different and special situation that is very delicate. so what i said is that when we're facing fascism and fascists, every one who decided to stay silent is an accomplice of this fascist rigid regime . i stand by my opinion and i believe you cannot stay silent when you're facing

someone like cable. so the d. w global media for bringing together media makers, movers and shakers from around the world in their incisive quest for truth. the so a very diverse list of speak if i'm hoping that they see it event and ross per is here with me in the studio. welcome scott. earlier this year we reported that the w freedom of speech award went to the courageous investigative journalist to bori of warri a. and on monday she finally got her prize. yes, yes, if i was able to come to bon to receive it. our own own director, general peter limbo are handed over the award to her in bon and a very, i mean, she really embodies this freedom of speech award. i mean, this is incredibly, a dedicated investigative journalist from nigeria who's been tremendously

courageous in her efforts to bring bring truth polite, whatever the cost in her speech day on excepting of the award. she said she hoped it would be an inspiration to other journalists, not just in africa, but around the world to dare to speak out as, as she had. i mean, just give an idea of like, her dedication to her work. in 2013 of a went undercover as a sex worker in nigeria to expose the human trafficking brings operating between nigeria and europe with women being brought here to be used essentially as, as a sex, slaves. and that experience was actually used as the basis for a feature film. netflix a released a couple of years ago as a intern speaking to us, the daughter bella, she said that it was a hugely traumatic experience, a going through that and that she actually felt suicidal one point. but she has continued to soldier on and continued to really groundbreaking investigative

journalist for definitely a incredibly credible journalist and well worthy of the freedom of speech toward congratulations to her. i want to say the british, nigerian photographer, i kimball day. i can be spoke at a session on the impact of co, with 19 on the art sector in africa. he's lived here in germany for many years. and last year he turned his land on berlin, reminders that yes, he did the really interesting series of photos shot actually just around the corner from here in the so called african a district in, in imbedding just just a few blocks from the studio here in the in berlin, and this is an area which is still home to a lot of after migrant than people of african origin here in germany. but it has a really sinister history which is connected to germany's legacy of colonialism. and with this a photo theories which was shown at the broken bough museum here, he basically gave us a very start visual reminder of this history and how germany still hasn't really

dealt with the colonial past. and its legacy in countries like togo or, or the, it's the get aside in the movie. okay. great. talking to the thank you for joining us. simonian now from the world of arts and culture. india talked to his attraction, the taj mahal we opened on wednesday. the famous mausoleum was closed in march. here as india imposed one of the worlds through it says look down at the start of the panoramic. it. we opened last september, but shocked again in april. as a deadly 2nd wave swept the country and valerie c and nobel prize winning with us that long the alex, he that has been awarded germany's federal cross over merit. during the, on the president font via signed maya price deals for her work supporting her countries, opposition movement. museums are full of treasures, many, many of which never see the light of day. i'm talking about the millions of

artifacts that are permanently in storage because there's no room to exhibit them. many originated in far away countries from where they will often stolen. berlin bass photographer, nit, came through museum repositories in the german state of saxony. and you book bears witness to the legacy of colonialism and the debate about how to deal with it. me a car with no engine or brakes, parts for eternity, and the german city of light pick. it's originally from hong kong and was intended for burning a long time ago. me this is i literally, i just wasn't long. it's a ritual objects that's meant to be burned after a person's death to as upon foods, through the burning ritual, the family of the deceased sends their loved one a car and to show for, to accompany them into the after life with those, i'm not it's just one of some,

300000 object, kept in storage by the esna logical collections of the german state of facts. the museums allowed photographer onion nits to document these cultural warehouses in a sense there, the heart of the museums or objects are kept preserved. but many of the objects here are troubling. there are whole shelves filled with human remains, for instance, for ethical reasons, and it's only photograph the boxes they're stored in her book ways bear the contradictions of western museums, collecting artifacts once deemed exotic. neese, landon, anybody from the 1st glance, these collections don't really teach us that much about other parts of the world. but more about our culture that attempts to categorize objects in meticulous detail why the, which is basically impossible. and many of these objects are meant to be mobile, to move, to be thrown, to be more adam. this is

a thought of being able to be danced or celebrated with high. that's what i'm gram snow's the best in a blog. and then it's a bit absurd to have them stored here in these static immobile boxes and glass cabinets. between the big question is, who are the rightful owners of all these masks spears and bronzes? how did these treasures get here? where they purchased stolen off and the answers aren't clear today, more and more groups around the world are demanding the return of their cultural heritage. the ethanol, logical museums in saxony are using onion. it's as book to send the message that they want to rest to, to, to objects. unlike many other museums, the, to see on restitution is a difficult word. it's associated with a lot of fear, people think,

but then our museums will be empty. on my argument is always, even if we do give back many, many objects we will still have a lot see if you will just buy me off the stage. and i thought it was important to show that visually fee to veil to the site. ah, the situation isn't always just black or white. as with these ceramic figures from brazil, created by the car, john indigenous people, there were declared part of brazil cultural heritage in 2012. most of them are found in collections around the world. the museums now planned to return them to brazil, only not the objects themselves, but digital copies me sending computer data instead of statues. sounds like a trick, but this case is a bit different. so far the courage,

i haven't requested their object back. right now they're looking to collect information about their history, to gain more visibility and brazil politics. i'm going to pull neo and i'm hoping i can only say my own opinion. but i think it's the right thing for our figures to stay in museums and how they can be properly kept there and preserve. these figures are our cultural heritage and that there's a whole mythology behind that. and we're very happy that many people can get to know these work being important things to keep them safe. and for that reason i'm okay with they're staying and museums like them when they say that i'm with them, honey and it is photos. so objects that are missing in the places they were made, the museums will display less than 10 percent of what they hold here. more and more though, it seems that the museum basements are no longer the final station. but perhaps waiting rooms for story soon to be told.

fascinating, and of course a very important debate. now there are a lot small arts and coat this week on our website, bounce d w dot com slash coaches for me and the whole team in berlin. thanks for watching alison culture, join us next time if you can. oh, the the, me the the

the okay, so the last season wasn't all about partying. course there was still plenty to celebrate the emotional highlights of season in the 2nd part of our we have 30 minutes on d. w. ah, was me in the change because what's the story with here? what do they have for their future? t. w dot com, african megacity multimedia insight clicks and consider young

moroccan emigrants. they know the police when they know that the route is not a solution. they know their flight could be fail, wasn't going back. not an option. peace. i'm on and the other day or spoke in the spanish border area alongside other young people there waiting for a chance that will probably never come. shattered dreams starts june 18th on d, w. o

y enterprises go on the news . this is the w news live and from berlin tonight, the u. s. in russia get ready to lay out their red lines. you as president joe biden has arrived in geneva on the eve of his 1st summit with russian president vladimir approved him. so what can we and he expect from the talks with the relations between the 2 countries already. so look, also coming up the friendly skies again, the european union and the united states. press pause on their 17 year battle over aircraft subsidies and l g b t q right.
