if some of those numbers send you into a spin, this next report could help bring you back down. fighting off corona virus. anxiety with meditation. the pandemic has sparked a boom in mindfulness apps that design to commerce down find in a piece, musicians that happy to help earning in or caching in the trend religious groups to with apps. like mindful, muslim analysts say the global market could be worth $6000000000.00 us dollars by the year 20. 27 is something to be mindful about imprisoned, but all these available working from home. it's enough to send you mess. now and now shift your focus to the rising and falling of the breath. wherever your body feels at most at this moment. this woman is listening to a mindfulness and it's

a growing trend. it does. i'd have been out several times otherwise. 4 years ago. fonts from berlin, quit her stable job and became an entrepreneur. she's now a freelance yoga instructor who teaches in several studios. but since the pandemic per classes have been canceled and come to me for me, the pandemic was mainly marked by existential anxiety. and at the beginning, it was unclear if i could even continue my job. for starters, i was completely on my own. and how would i cope with it? this all brought up c, as for the future and the unknown brooklyn sort of designed forward. and she's one of many millions of people have been seeking psychological support since the coven crisis, the simplest way. and since the pandemic. so called mindfulness apps have taken off

with their instructions for breathing, sleeping, and guided meditations to read the stress and control anxiety. kinds of mindfulness sounds great because they get you into a regular routine message cut off. i use different. one of them shows me how many minutes i meditate. it shows me that i've meditated for several days or weeks, and that gives me a good feeling for the mind from this industry has grown enormously more and more people are willing to pay for apps on their smartphones. the revenues, the most popular $100.00 apps have doubled within 2 years to $1100000000.00 us dollars. and here is one of the people profiting from that boom. i'm, you'll notice i'm $36.00 and i'm a co founder of 7 mind. in 2014, he and his co founder developed germany's 1st of meditation and mindfulness and

with some funding levels in 2020 was an extraordinary year for us on many levels. of course, the number of downloads and uses increased massively. i'd say up 50 percent from the previous year or so very substantially as well as the other for some of these for a long time, there endeavor was laughed at some couple of the reasons to exercise physically are accepted. if you don't know, you looked at strangely like lazy or a couch potato or whatever, but i think soon it will be the same if you don't train your mind. but it's still considered to be a bit of new age mumbo jumbo, understand. but over the last few years, this has shifted a lot about as a company we benefited. and i'd say it's a much more accepted topic now, like one of the entrepreneur feels he's been proven right. the have being bombarded with more and more data and information and as long as things

keep going this way, the mindfulness trend will continue, but people need to learn healthy conscious ways to deal with this. a lot of information from them. but are these abs useful or just inexpensive gimmick and psychologist johan is which alex is investigating why day keep cropping up everywhere? it's all of them. and of course people are out to make money from just considering all the pressure on the health system. you have to take a closer look at their structure, if there's any expertise behind them. here's where the problems lie. some practitioners even referred to by mach mindfulness. yes, this is on the one hand, it's good that the apps have gone mainstream. i think they're very easily accessible and often not very demanding. but there's the risk that people will equate this with the practice of mindfulness, some practice who in life can and ab replace

a course led by professionals for entrepreneur on a shoe box. it can, she doesn't want to do without her digital coach who's always available for her at no matter what time or place me. of course you can forget all those apps if your country doesn't have to digital infrastructure. believe it or not, internet coverage is still patchy and parts of germany, your biggest economy, a lot of businesses still haven't gone digital. you have to pay cash in many cases, so you can't make an appointment online sometimes. and yet all this technology is at our fingertips, the germans state health departments, a still using fax machines to report their corona virus case number's. officials have to enter those figures into the system manually. what we see in germany compared international leap, it's dismal, peak download speeds worldwide show that other countries are way ahead and

germany flimsy to take 35th place. but why? let's go back in time to the early 980 and to the vin chancellor of west germany. how much my april 980 work. he declared that as soon as the technical prerequisites have been met, deutsche abundant post will rapidly develop an integrated broadband fiber optic network. that was 40 years ago. if schmidt's plans had gone ahead today, germany would have the world's most advanced fiber optic network. instead, it's a patchwork with lots of missing pieces. less than 10 percent of households have a connection of 50 megabits per 2nd. germany needs foster internet and not just during the pandemic. this is supposed to be a high tech country. driverless cars will be hitting the outbound soon.

agricultural vehicles will be controlled by satellites. virtual reality is here. and augmented reality is just around the corner, but only high speed internet everywhere can make it possible. so what went wrong again, back to the 1980s. in october, 980 to a new government took office in west germany. tell me a call became chancellor call scrapped the fiber optic plans and relied on germany's tried and tested compet telephone cables . they were cheaper and provided private tv to all of germany's households. we still have to live with the legacy of that decision today. there are more fiber optic connections these days. but the last mile to the junction box is still mostly copper. and that slows down in it doesn't have germany,

didn't start promoting broadband until 2015, which was pretty late by international standards. fiber optic lines better and faster than replacing old telephone lines is expensive. and time consuming takes at least 2 years, even if the money is available from issuing the tender until the line is ready. so when will these gets be closed? then if we're talking about expanding the fiber optics to improve the gigabits applied to the fix line networks, then 2030 seems like a realistic goal to make what germany's economy minister is considering. thing is stony of health, not only uses frustrated, but germany's network problems hinder it's competitiveness and damage. it's image abroad. however, in january 2021, there was some welcome use. germany's parliament has decided to get rid of its fax machines. hallelujah. so some of us finally loadings of lessons from this pandemic

. but others of us still struggling a little is all of kreger the god. and then is it no idea what channel is not the real real world. wow. where is the mute button? you're tough, the torn out sound of the really supposed to be the real world. does that even exist anymore or not? i don't like this at all. kind of where's the soft focus and i need a different background. i want to meadow reason. meadow with flowers. one and a clear ring listed by the forest clearing was a stack and bellowing stack. ah

demonstrations in her room as a leftist political outside of his voice to take the presidency. the country remains divided after more than a week without an official announcement of the election results. the, the me, i'm jared very thank you very much for your company. the president of the united states and russia emerged from their 1st face to face meeting with messaging and not the differences. joe biden called the over 3 hours of talks good and positive. and flattered me putin said they were fruitful with no whole still itty, but beyond that, their accounts differed and revealed to leaders with many unresolved attention. the highly anticipated meeting against the backdrop of frosty relations kilobyte

and vladimir putin succeeded in breaking the ice. the 2 leaders met for 3 hours in geneva, over several issues of contention and emerge with a hint at progress. we should be able to cooperate words in our mutual interest and where we have differences i want to president couldn't understand why i say what i say and why i do what i do and how will respond to specific kinds of actions that harm america's interest. among the issues by the ones, had russia to address with cyber attacks, something puts in, denied, being involved in. and when the american count about brought up human rights on the imprisonment of the russian position, leader, alexia vonny, put in, refuse to mention the name of the man in question states. i think julia, that is now still a little shred. this person knew that he was violating russian law on that,

but let me check that he should have recognized twice convicted felon. the meeting . they did agree on nuclear arms control, and the 2 countries planned to hold further talks in future. who's in suggested biden, with someone he could work with a step forward despite the huge gulf between them. well, expectations ahead of the summit were low d, w. washington correspondence, different simons, gave us this assessment of the outcome between the 2 leaders. i think they were predictably and on purposely sat very low and the top mit so called some it didn't disappoint, didn't really gain a huge surprises there. and i think it's fair to say that it went all as joe biden . the ministration had planned it with low expectations for real results, but to give both man letting me and joe biden, the chance actually to sniff each other out, you know, to establish a personal relationship if you will,

of some sort. at least asked. the president said afterwards for him a foreign relations and foreign policy is the extension of personal relationships. and maybe that is what he accomplished and what he delivered here with as many summit with lot of me that was dw washington correspondents. different simon fair. well, the 1st chinese astronaut for china is new space station have successfully blasted off in what will be the country's longest crude mission in the tree are launched on a long march to f rocket from the garbage as it to the new opening space station named the heavenly palace for 3 months, the astronaut still set up the experiments and prepared for theories of space for the station who still under construction and the

similar to the module that russia built for the international space station, a legacy of close cooperation in space that china and russia now aim to strengthen further a cargo spacecraft carrying important supply, including fuel, clothing, and provisions for the crew. dr. with the space station at the end of may the it will take 11 more emissions before the space station is complete. to further research modules, we're done with the state in 2022, when it will begin the operations. it's an ambitious schedule, but china is fast advancing to the top league of space travel. the country sends an astronaut to the space in 2003, while behind russia and the united states. in 2019 china celebrated a spectacular 1st landing on the dark side of the moon in

a scientifically interesting region and the satellites. south po china also has month and science. since last may, the home research spacecraft has been exploring the red planets and even sending selfies back to earth. ah, de ging is offering every nation the opportunity to conduct research on a space station. but getting there will remain firmly in chinese hands. europe has already accepted the offer. you repeat in space agency astronauts have already undertaken training in china. the i s. s. era is coming to an end. the us government is critical of the project. it says, cooperating in this way, could put national security at risk. here some of the other stories making use today in hong kong,
