jewish life, that's what film producer, bona and journalists are exploring. delving into history at the present. i would never have thought they could be live, so i do my phone free. i jewish in europe. the 2 part documentary starts july 5th on d w. the 2nd wave of code 19 he'd india hard case numbers look like they're falling restrictions or raising so he's in the ready shops, businesses and public transport or opening and daily people in my bike and catch a movie at the cinema. still the countries vaccination drive is sluggish,

and testing isn't widespread. expose foreign case numbers and dancer being under reported. they say it's too soon to live restrictions. mm. welcome my benefits all and after almost 2 months locked down in delhi, the construction sector is one of the 1st to reopen. it relies largely on migrant laborers who have been returning to the big city from the villages in the hope of finding what dw, whenever a child re sent us this report, nearly reached labourers gather here every morning to find book party. do you all usually is one of them. he's an unskilled migrant labeler 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 daily 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 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. economist from hockey 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 there's a 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, which is basically the larger effect of the 1st we still lingering one. and it will compound with this 2nd 3rd, and determine possibly getting to 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 nominal or normal. you gauge, the unskilled worker, remembers how lofty millions were left. jobless during the national lockdown. some of them never work again. he feels that the seemly 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 you. 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. so here we are again talking about lives and livelihoods, whether or not to open or reopen with roger the scope, 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 were close to collapse. they'd run out of oxygen. how are things now?

hello, ben, good evening, from new delhi. last time we spoke, yes, it was dire straits. this time cause people have this idea of the leaf. notwithstanding the losses. each family has gone through things, certainly a lot better now. but typically in most of the high incidence states economy, different sectors of the economy, as you said, are opening up and the challenge before well edition as well as that new straight is how to balance the needs of lights in 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 don't 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 went that, that stole has certainly been high. as i said, it's been very painful for most each and every family. 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 have 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 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 debt. 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 even what a, what toes apartments are actually doing. and therefore, as in the case of b, ha, 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 progress report. what about this highly infectious delta barry? and if i, if i can put in there, well the, the variance, which is actually the top lineage of b 6171 was identified in india earlier this year in the southeastern districts of the very last. so it's now subsequently swept through so several lot states, including the li, 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 owe a lot. so the to the damage caused by the variant and therefore india has now won't for this very large, maybe have gain in that experience. states have woke up with,

with this in various manners, and we certainly see that the ready and the lead subsiding in most states, including the limo. my as the report indicated, and therefore therefore life is certainly limping back to normal. you mentioned before the businesses and not getting enough attention to preventing the spread of code. 19 in the workplaces economy reopens is, is in the, or on top of this is the country taking the right steps i believe making workplace a safer and by this work less, i do not just mean office spaces but, but in fact, all walks of economy, people are working in 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,

what places not defined in 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 available. these are we need a lot more attention and detail. ok. you heard it from roger. the school 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 there was a long, complicated lineage category,

but now it's called delta. more than that with derek williams. and this fuel question, paul is to be 16172 very and smoothly. this one is no contagious o. this variant of concern, which has been designated down 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 are 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 planned 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 hospitalization. that makes it hard to currently say with any certainty whether the delta variant causes more severe disease. but the evidence is mounting that it possibly does. britton's responsible agency said that is 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 are contract at the alpha variance. 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,

or showing up of hospitals more severely or critically ill. so. so evidence would appear to the mounting that the delta variant 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. mm. ah, we don't want to see them putting our street, our, our here. open your eyes to the see our new global 3000 series, the threats we are facing,

the heroes taking the stands. it's not that important to make up until the global 3000 series starts june 21st on d w. how does the virus spread? why don't we panic by? and when will all this 3 of the topics that we covered in a weekly radio. if you would like any more information on the corona virus or any other final topic, you should really check out our podcast. you can get it wherever you get your podcast. you can also find us at ww dot com, forward slash science. the little guys, this is the 77 percent. the platform for you to be issues and share ideas.

who's you know? i know we are not catherine. delegates, africa population is growing. and young people clearly have the solutions that do job 77 percent. now every return on the w i the once a year dw invites the media to join some of the world's most influential, innovative, 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 welcome to arts and culture. the w global media form 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 strength and democracy. the 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 politicians, artists, journalists, scientists, and influences have come together in germany's former parliament buildings in bond . for the daughter of outlet global media for him. the form is a space to debate, the hot button issues, shaping the world for the ongoing global cove in 1900. pandemic has had an impact on this years event, which is mostly online affairs. among those taking part virtually our turkish

writer and political scientists, and we shall fuck the criticism of the turkish state has forced her into exile. safari, 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 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 forming it. and we are in the middle, and that is a difficult to be in because it's on the mid this uncertainty show fact believes that writers have a social responsibility to stand up and be heard. if you happen to be right, sees,

you do not have the luxury of saying, you know what, i'm going to talk about what's happening outside the winner. because we write this, i'm not disconnected from the societies where we come from. social media isn't the focus at the global media forum with guests, including loggers 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 and are right now. what brazil is facing is 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 richard

regime. i stand by my opinion and i believe you cannot stay silent when we're, if 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 sort of very diverse list of speakers, i'm hoping that they see it event and rocks per is here with me in the studio well from scott, earlier this year we reported the dw freedom of speech award, went to the courageous investigative journalist to bori of warry 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 bond and 48. 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 true polite whatever the cost in her speech. stay on excepting the award. she said she hoped it would be an inspiration to other journalists, not just to africa, but around the world, to dare to speak out as, as she has. i mean, just give an idea of like that. her dedication to her work in 2013 of a went undercover as a sex worker in nigeria to expose the human trafficking rings operating between nigeria and europe with women being brought here to be used essentially 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 intro to speaking to their daughter, bella, she said that it was

a hugely traumatic experience going through that. and that she actually felt suicidal. one point, but she has continued to filter on and continue to really groundbreaking, investigative journalists weren't 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. kimble 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 does a 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 berlin. and this is an area which is still home to 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 at the very start visual reminder of this history and how germany still hasn't really dealt with its colonial past. at its legacy in countries like togo or whether it's the get aside in the movie. okay, great. talking to the thank you for joining us. simonian now from the world of art and culture, india talked to his attraction, the taj mahal we opened on wednesday. the famous mausoleum was closed in, not here as india imposed one of the world's fruits. just look down to the start of the pandemic. if we opened last september, but shocked again in april, as a deadly 2nd wave swept the country. and valerie, see a nobel prize winning with us that long. the alex, he that has been awarded germany's federal cross over merits, starting me on uh, president trump signed maya play, feels 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 a permanently in storage because there's no room to exhibit them. many originated in far away countries from where they will often stolen. well, in based photography need came to me use the repository 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 parked 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. i just wasn't long. it's a ritual objects that's meant to be burned after a person's death. to as upon the 3rd, through the burning ritual,

the family of the deceased sends their loved one a car and to show for to accompany them into the afterlife with those, i'm not it's just one of some, 300000 objects 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 their whole shells filled with human remains, for instance, for ethical reasons. and it's only photographed the boxes they're stored in her book ways bear the contradictions of western museums, collecting artifacts once deemed exotic. who needs land on 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 object in meticulous detail

wise and look, which is basically impossible to develop. many of these objects are meant to be moved by move to be thrown, to be more adam. this is a thought to be dance or celebrated with high. i thought that's what the gum snows this in a lot, and it's a bit absurd to have them stored here in these static immobile boxes and glass cabinets between me. the big question is, who are the rightful owners of 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 ethnic logical museums in saxony are using onion. it's in the book to send the message that they want to rest 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 and this is mouth. see if you will just buy me off the stage. i thought it was important to show that visually cease to veil to side. 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's cultural heritage in 2012. most of them are found in collections around the world in the museums now planned to return them to brazil. only not the objects themselves,

but digital copies ah, sending computer data instead of statues. sounds like a trick, but this case is a bit different. so far, the car edge, 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 the meal. i can only say my own opinion, but i think it's the right thing for our figures to stay in museums. they can be properly kept there and preserve. these figures are our cultural heritage. there's a whole mythology behind that. and we're very happy that many people can get to know these work being maybe important things to keep them safe. and for that reason i'm ok with they're staying and museums like them when they say, i'm with them. honey, it is photos show objects that are missing and 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 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 lots more than just always on our website about d, w dot com slash coach for me and the whole team in berlin. thanks for watching arts and culture. enjoying this next time, if you can. oh, the news vaccination campaign is making good progress. not everywhere. it is reflected by many and the tendency mountain. plenty of doses remain and here they own herbal madison and god can dr. hensley from the local hospitals,
