a weekly radio if you would like any more information on the kroner virus or any other science topics, you should really check out our podcast. you can get it wherever you get your podcasts. you can also find those w dot com slash science. let me a 2nd wave of code. 19 india hard case numbers look like they're falling restrictions are easing. so is india ready? shops, businesses and public transport or opening and daily people and mom, bike and catch a movie at the cinema. still the country's vaccination drive is sluggish, and testing isn't widespread. experts, one case numbers in dance are being under reported. they say it's to,

to live restrictions. me 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 d w many or a child re sent us this report. nearly reached labourers gather your every morning to find work. 32 your or your gauge, cooley 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 delhi went into lockdown after the city was hit by the 2nd we of course 19 we're barely getting any work. there is so much unemployment. many of a laborers also come back from the villages. the wait for a job every day, but there just isn't enough work. you guess,

as you find 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 this is a few opportunities of finding employment. and he thinks any recovery will take time. it's not so why the cycle will determine the economic type of it is basically the larger effect of the 1st view is still lingering one entity compound with the 2nd 3rd, and determine 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 nominal or non gauge. the unskilled worker remembers how locked the millions were left. jobless during the national lockdown.

some of them never found work again. he feels that the same, the 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. u and delhi. last time we spoke a couple of months ago, the situation was dia, thousands were dying every day. hospitals were close to collapse and run out of oxygen. how are things now? hello, ben, good evening from new delhi. last time they spoke, yes, it was a dire straits. this time of cause. people have the belief,

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 electrician as well as administrator, is how to balance the needs of like the likelihood. 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 on the spiking again, just a few days ago. i mean, we had the highest numbers reported so far of last week when that goal has certainly been high. as i said,

it's been very painful for most each and every family last week that that's going 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 best that we ended up with are 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 is poor states revised it's total covered related death toll from some 5 and a half $1009.00 and a 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, what tell departments 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, and then there's this, this change, or the optic in the figures is really a combination of that product. what about this highly infectious delta vary? 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 south eastern districts of the very last year. it's now subsequently swept through several large 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 a lot. so the to the damage caused by the variant. and therefore india has now gone through this very large and they have gained in that experience space have woke up with, with this in various manners. and we certainly see that the

built a very and 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 giving enough attention to preventing the spread of code 19 in the workplace as the economy reopened. is india 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 workplaces not definitive, this is true of, 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 the workspace is 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 of wherever they are available. these are the need a lot more attention and detail. ok. you had 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 also has a long, complicated lineage category, but now it's called delta. more than that with derek williams. and his few questions paul is to be

16172 very and 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 identifies 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 is 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 alpha barriers 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 call thing around 9 and 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, but it possibly does. brittany 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 are contract. 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 the 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. as many scientists don't think the evidence is robust enough, yet to make an unequivocal case in africa, south africa voters, renewable energy, the initiative green came in the course. john environmentally friendly, sorta that generate between energy, from solar and hydro power. there's always energy africa, w. o or fiber.

200 and maybe even mobile figured. welcome to learn a lot from these theories. anything is in the entire 45 minutes on d, w. ah news. the little guy that is the 77 percent, the platform is used to be issues and share ideas. you know, i know we to capture and then the topic african population is willing and

young people clearly have the solution, the future 77 percent. now, every weekend on the w, the, me, me the hello and welcome to the new edition of echo africa. the environment show brought to you by and tv, uganda, gem. these dots are vela and channel tv right here in the area. i am chris alone with me today as always as my co presenter sandra. hi, this is sandra. hey, crease. it is good to be here once again,

so they will hear about some of marable examples of activism in auction. so let's get started with a quick look at what we have coming up with. conservation is in uganda, fight to prevent destruction of the rain forest. a rest of the brock get some media support in king as bushland and a young man in walla. her name is paul from done with illegal deforestation is destroying and tell her ecosystems statistic. sure. that more than 1500000000 people depend directly on the was forest beat for food, for medical products over their livelihoods. africa load is home to over 15 percent of the plan. it's forrest cover, but it is dwindling despite numerous protective measures. now, an organization right here in uganda called the frame worker,

is among those bottling to save the rain forest. but it's easy and those involved pay a high price. oh and william, i'm going to only feel uneasy when he comes here to cheer queen today. his efforts to protect the forest have worn him enemies. his entire family has been threatened . this is my brother's house. he has lived here for over 4. yes. but then seems windy, perhaps escalated. he decided because of his own system to leave home. the trading wood and chuckle from zuka forest has increased. the timber here is highly sought after william, a man who has pain pills, fighting illegal logging in the area. if he hears of trees being felt illegally, he mo, straight into action. the law got can here. and of if the district specifics. what

you see here, the guys will do this not quite well connected to phillip. he's our fellows will power. they have money. the also, you know, they direct security of this country. what is to do that? among the ro documents the illegal logging and the policy to the authorities. if they don't respond, he publishes the test is on his online platform. friends, obviously he has many supporters together. the try to keep the issue in the public eye because we cannot have access to these are the courts of law or the systems because most times the bid with their logo. so we choose to go to the court of public opinion. if i take your picture and put here, and they say you will laga when the, some of the evidence iconic decrypts are not the new. we are the probably kind of sun you a month or so fans most of these walk. but once in a while, he receives donations from supporters, most of whom live locally. zocker is a tropical forest that covers the 10 square miles. its reach me,

the varsity includes a fresh water revise that feed directly into the ne africa was a longest re. well, it's a century for abundant whiteness, but this logically important site has lost almost half its forest cover in the last 15 years, due to illegal logging, capital bonnie and the need for more farmland, among the root, is seeking to sensitize local communities in the hope the join his school is influencing public opinion is best hope of if and change is especially keen to reach the younger generation there while we are struggling on south belongs to them . so we are trying to ship that idea that, you know, let's live in harmony with mitchell this morning. that's how many is a long way off among the room is wanted by the police in his hometown, i do money to answer charges related to his work. i have a police bond that i've been starving since january,

and today's my reporting day to police. this would be my last day of my freedom outside. i don't know if they are finished with the investigations. among the room is accused of mobilizing villages to empower chocolate from suspected illegal dina's the purported. oh no, the chocolate sees it was what over $6000.00 and that amount 0 same piece, told it the conservation need, has already done several students increase on his work. but on reaching the police, among the real lands that the plaintiff has dropped the charges after 5 months of investigation, the police use the information given the amazon route to arrest the real proper traitors. the 1st time it was brought to him opinions please just stuck and study for a long time. illegal loggers really had to 1st justice or when,

when it but clearly change is afford i really feel excited. i mean, i feel that my freedom buck, i feel empowered pointing out my one walk that remains dangerous for his family, his supporters and above all for him. a powerful example what one love initiative can accomplish. and if he's never too early to start fighting for what you believe in gretel fun back was just 15. why? she started calling for strong action on climate change outside the swedish parliament. and as we all know or how processed evolved into the global movement, fridays for future climate protection is just a matter of our agency to the young people all over the world. in fact, one group in portugal has now even taken the course and took this site leaves claudia july to august in your speechless. she can still remember when

everything here was green. but ever since the wildfires the pines are all dead, it makes me very sad to see such an amazing place that was destroyed by the fires. and this is, this is very symbolic because it means that it will keep happen. if nothing gets done, this will keep happening in other places from from our planet, and we should fight to change that. the wildfires raged through portugal often in 20. 17 defies, claimed the lives of some 120 people and were deemed worth in living memory. as each summer become potter and dryer than the last, the risk of devastation rises. 2 claudia blamed the climate crisis. that's why the nursing student from larry are

north of lisbon is stepping up the pressure. but since her voice wasn't being heard enough on the streets, she took her case to the european court of human rights and food, half of europe. i'm taking this case against 33 countries because one day i want to be in a world that's healthy and with no danger. cloudy is fellow plaintiff's, her siblings and her 3 friends. her brother martin is 18 and stopped us from asthma . they say more and more people are getting sick from the increasing heat and fires with climate change. breathing problems will just get worse. and people like me will get better just it's going to get worse and worse. their parents are supportive of the most to reason motor is 47 years old and grew up in germany. she says she has moved to care for a life. i can understand her children's concerns for the future. that's why she is

glad that the judges in straw spoke have classified the case as urgent. help him can i have a little girl. she's only 9. when what will her life be like a little guilty of all this? i didn't really do anything by because i didn't contribute to the crisis but not a doctor to me, but i also didn't think about it as fight. it was like my kids on. i feel bad about that. there is no loss. it's like this. what the irish human rights organization, global legal action network specializes in the strategy of the lawyer. jerry listen, and his team was risky with the european court of human rights could have referred to national judicial channels. but the judges have admitted these young people is case or wherever it's failing to adopt the necessary emissions reductions and policies that are needed to avoid these catastrophic

consequences. governments are effectively discriminating on the basis of age. they are placing a young generations greater risk of future harm remains to be seen when a verdict will be reached. for now, the $33.00 states charged a still fighting against the law suit climate change on hub. it went loose, up pushing more and more species to the brink of extinction. a number of global initiatives are speaking to address the issue, but often it is a smaller local project focusing on a particular species that fee the most sucks. it does right sandra, because they include the people who live in the area like the women of some rural community in kenya. they're on the mission to see are a species of zebra from being lost for goods.

shortly after dawn affairs glimpse of grievous zebras. the presence of gentle tale and half troop doesn't seem to bother the animals who anomaly shy. here into some blue origin of central kenya, the so called women scouts on patrol to determine how far is their breast range the organization? grievous zebra trust has trained more than 20 young women to monitor the world's most threatened to the bus pieces i think 40. when i leave home, i fill out a b t a sheet to show where my patrol is stopped and then every 30 minutes i fill in the gps detail. i'm up and to show where i am. if i've seen the breast at the end of the day, the organization uses that data to track the routes where i have a child. neither the nor do i do see a the non duty. 40 years ago,

there were 15000 grievances. the rest and king are alone. not there are fewer than 3000. they live in one of the driest parts of the country. bessy breast cancer via for up to 5 days with our water. so the flourished in these conditions where there was no competition from other animals. but now humans have begun to settle here. and the head of the mouth, it's in the grass. things have changed from no money to him where it's used to my drills for one place to another, giving the land following it for it to cover the wire with medical. mainly the more say that the pastoral community is rely 1000000 votes and cows due to the presence of the nearby river. humans in anamosa increasingly occupying the same areas. and food is growing scarce. longer dry periods caused by global woman destroying more and more pastureland, increasing the pressure on the zebras and your echo system. for years beetle,

a lumper has been working with local cattle farmers. he believes they can coexist peacefully with as the brace. they're able to get somebody placed on a griffin with those 8 as good as an aggressive area and they utilize way 1st off, buster. and so it's a way of frustrating posture is will making sure that the quick system between lester and wireless eroded areas being replanted to benefit all parties that women in the communities play. a key role in this influence can assure that the next generation will continue to value death co existence. head animals loosened the soil on the arrows pasta lands, then semicircular embankments are constructed around areas where grass could start growing again. the capture the little available rainwater and direct it onto the fields. the some border women to out invasive acacia trees to useful filed

grass and other plants grow. induct place this week, 600 head test of pastor land. i reclaimed each year. the area that we started with was in a missing response where there are no glasses and stuff yet over the years have come back. that's still an indication that this method is working tradition so important to some blue people, the regions only reva, the women, get ritual tons for the water and purchase into rosie ceremony. and got the to the you are central to the into rosie ceremony is a message of respected car. it also communicates to the rest of the community, me the importance of conservation wet and plant greece. and now we're going to do that. i'll get it out. and discuss said yeah, efforts of lead to greater acceptance of the zebras. and that has benefits for all

when the whole be controlled the movement of livestock and they can eat together with a zebra. so there's the rest on wonder off instead of pastor this our trucks tories to the region that will get and tories increase jobs and batteries for children. one will not future generations of local people provided with education and training could build up in meter recess where they previous zebra population could recover and thrive. ensuring universal access to energy by 2030 is one of the lots of mission sustainable development goals. now while progress has been made, internationally, soft sovereign offers are still lots. we've behind many areas. knowing that they are all only for a few hours a day and 90 percent of the regions energy comes from 40 feels. well one man and goler has come up with a way of generating its own.
