5:16 am
i slept with people in a room as it was harvest fair. i even got white hair learning. the german language helped a lot of kids to me. okay. trinity to instruct you want to know their story for migrant verifying reliable information for migrant care. there are populations across the world cove. at 1900 vaccines are struggling to reach some of the world's poorest countries and communities are also some of the most jap, wary countering deeply held believes is a tall order, especially when historic inequality and health care itself is partly to blame. but
5:17 am
one campaign and berlin is paving away. how can skepticism in these groups be overcome? hello and welcome to are covered 1900 special. i'm chris cobra and berlin. here in german capital, all the vaccination campaign across the cities, refugee shelters was delayed large parts because of supply issues, but also by the spread of misinformation, mainly on social media. with the help of an education campaign vaccination take up is now increasing the back to a little normality in this refugee shelter in berlin. suing classes, resume today. the inhabitants are delighted for most of the pandemic, the home was very, very quiet. smoke hold on. okay. in touch with many people before corona and i used to go out a lot. but now i cannot meet up students. depends. it is very difficult for me to
5:18 am
get a baby new i want to pandemic to and so we can have contact with other people again, daughter by the contact to share with you. but others, some residents know that getting vaccinated helps protect others and my independent make most i wary of getting the job that's why this group of doctors, social workers and interpreters visit refugee home to convince the most reluctant to sign up for an appointment. and sheila lloyd, many people were very afraid they would become infer thrombosis. this was much discussed in the media which also steer the fear amongst the residents too much easier on what about the truth of the but in the one of the short was due to the high risk of infection shelters, refugees where almost top priority in germany, the vaccination efforts,
5:19 am
but various delivery bottlenecks and approval issues have delayed the campaign. even though this is now sorted out, social worker says it takes a lot of convincing for people to take the job, which is that it is important that you make them feel acknowledged. and so there's no wrong question and then we use interpreters, so reactions, you can ask questions in their native language, articulate themselves better, a few more at ease in the conversation, english way. by the end of the afternoon, the doctors have met with around 20 people. face to face contact is key to success . in some refugee shelters, readiness to get vaccinated has jumped up to 80 percent as a result of the information campaign. for more than spring in lina, samantha, she's a senior researcher on poverty and inequality as human rights watch. welcome to the w, alina in our report, we just learned about the reservations, people and refugee camps have towards getting vaccinated. the see
5:20 am
a similar pattern with people living and other precarious conditions. thank you so much for having me. i absolutely do. so what we see is that the, the high end quality, especially economic inequality that existed before the pandemic, as will be translated into concerned in terms of access to vaccines. and also the interactions with governments. and many of the populations had been left behind by government for so many years and decades. so in, so it is really not unique to refugee populations. in fact, in the united states, we see that black and brown people, austin, who had disproportionately higher infection rates initially or they had more hesitancy towards the vaccine and out of the fear of cost. so what, what are some of the quite implications, but also it due to
5:21 am
a long standing neglect of the government and mistrust and the government. now these vaccination guys, nevertheless, are part of the reason why the economy, at least in many countries in the west, is picking up again. but you say that low income households are at a particular disadvantage in that recovery. why is that? it certainly depends on the, on a country context, i would say interesting that even to take a step back, i think what we see is that the global, any quality meaning inequality between countries. here is a huge risk that low income countries will be falling further behind. as we see there's inequality in access to the scenes with higher income countries. having hoarded much of them and, and now having disproportion access to them. but at the country level, they have already been signs of, of the lack of transparency and access to the scene. corruption that often favor
5:22 am
certain groups in getting access earlier. and here low income people have been a disadvantage. another reason why is that in low income communities and neighborhoods health care is often lacking and is not available to the same extent . so people have to travel far distances to reach a health care center and get access to that. we look at the economic impact of this pandemic meal. millions have lost their job during this time of prices around the world, particularly in the service sector and in low paying jobs. now with economies reopening, won't these jobs? will these opportunities for people come back? not necessarily him and what is very concerning is that we saw that especially low income jobs has been lost at a much higher rate than by paying jobs. and one of the concerns is as countries
5:23 am
opened by gob, those won't come back to the same extend you've seen as in previous crises and recession after 2008 crisis. for example, besides many of the low paying jobs have not come back. and many people who are pushed into a poverty or unemployment did not necessarily get re hired one to country recovered. and so one peter really pushing for is for countries in a recovery phase to kind of consider the, the employment effects and a long standing effect, especially ongoing companies. now, speaking of recovering to varying degrees, governments have been trying to support people that have been particularly hit by the ben demik. are you worried that this sort of support could be a one time effect? very much so it's been an extraordinary year and we've seen countries respond to the crisis in bays. they never have before. so the amount of money that have been
5:24 am
poured into relief programs and dissimilar packages has been quite impressive by the human rights much we've done analysis and about 2 dozen countries. and what about the relief programs and what we've seen it that many measured highly temporary in terms of cash payment that we received populations at one time. but aside from that be ortho concerned as countries have taken on more and more debt to finance fees, recovery and relief programs. that as countries have to service these that they were introduced harsh. already programs that are harmful to human rights. they may rely, increasing the on the private sector to deliver essentially public services such as health care education. and they may conduct further cut to social protection programs that are so essential, protecting people from poverty and equality. lean estimate sooner researcher at
5:25 am
human rights watch. thank you for your thoughts. thank you. and up next is our science correspondent, derek williams, answering your questions about the pandemic. oh, how does could 1910 to 15 minute there are 2 facets this, this multifaceted question that i'd like to talk about. the 1st is of course, the straightforward issue of what the virus does physically to an average young adult as compared to someone who is older and they are the statistics still a pretty clear story. cobra, 1900 mortality increases dramatically with age. let's look at recent data from the u. s. more than 4 and 5 deaths there have occurred in those over 65 and fewer than one into 100 reported deaths have been and people
5:26 am
under 30. but as vaccinations rise among the elderly in countries like the u. s, doctors say that the average age of patients who are being hospitalized with the disease is dropping dramatically and that many of those younger patients will end up with conditions like crippling damage to the lungs or the heart. so, although cobit 19 is a lot less likely to kill a young adult, there are still really pressing reasons to get back to it because getting it can have devastating long term health consequences. the 2nd important facet of this question is, is the pandemic, emotional, social, psychological, and economic impact. it's affecting everyone of every age, but is experts say in many ways hitting young adults especially hard and,
5:27 am
and that a key time in their lives. there are no warning that due to lock downs and other measures generation cove, it is facing shortfalls in opportunities for, for crucial self development. many young people are rising to the challenges, but, but psychologists and other therapist in many places like, like here in germany are also currently being overwhelmed by this tidal wave of young adults in need of help. and. and a lot of those professionals now say that even the serious toll taken by infection in today's young and holes could in the long run, be overshadowed by the impact coven 19 has on the group's mental health me. and before we go, taiwan has produced its 1st home grown covered 900. maxine managing vaccine
5:28 am
biologics has applied to the taiwanese government for emergency authorization of the jap. taiwan is currently facing a surge of domestic infections made worse by shortage of actions. less than 5 percent of the population have so far been inoculate. that's our show for more you can always in our website at w dot com slash covered 1900. because cobra berlin, thanks for watching the news. it's a brave new world post corona virus. he's an inequality, home office and lonely poverty economy in repeated life, in frenzy on my shopping conservation, vaccinations, sterilizations, math sound when i feel you everything. what kind of right just waiting for us after
5:29 am
corona and are we ready for me to connect on d. w? me young moroccan immigrants they know the police which they know that the route is not a solution. they know their flight could be fatal, wasn't going back. not an option. shattered dreams in 45 minutes on d w. ah, was the little guys that it's a 77 percent. the platform for africa is used to be issues and share ideas.
5:30 am
you know, i know we are north of the african population, if we try and young people clearly have the solution, the future. the 77 percent. now every weekend on the w, the ah, ah, in inflation is surging as many countries emerged from lockdown that could see interest rates rise sooner than expected. and that could hamper the global economic recovery. but just what sort of recovery is it going to
5:31 am
be? because a lot of nations are still struggling with the crisis. they didn't even have the vaccines yet. some economists are predicting a very, an even recovery no, just for developed in developing economies, but also for various parts of society. the big question is, can government steers in the right direction, the perfect time to look at lessons learned from the pandemic? a year ago, things looked very different. a thick cloud of uncertainty and fear hung over our heads. economies were in free fall as countries jumped their borders factories, schools, and said every one home. we basically went into hiding, scared of catching this new virus, that really none of us really knew much about. back then i told 25 top economists about their predictions for the business world and are working lives a year on i spoke to again in the hope of guttering a little more hope. ah,
5:32 am
i think you should be confident not to miss you, but shouldn't. this is one of them. most of the christ is in the world history you ever had. but on the other hand, of course, we see also very positive things of let's say, people sitting in the same boat, not i don't think we have one enough. i think we're still stumbling on why forward . so we have amateur drive is the wheels of the level economy, and that's the main danger we thought was in the make has increased corporation in society, has been a lot of cooperation across country. that's a big source of innovation, where we do need to go now is a more inspiring collective future vision of what we want our economy to look like . and this is the moment to do it. i april
5:33 am
2020 was grim. where is everyone? now there's like at the end of the tunnel, there's a vaccine. we have a strong instrument in our hands to fight this and i make a year ago, it wasn't clear we would have a year ago. economists were trying to predict what sort of the recession was coming of be signifies a sharp brief decline, followed by a rebalance w double the procession, l. the plunge that stays down low for a long time. it was nothing like an out of shape recession. fortunately, we would have been far, far worse without that level of government spending. it was between the v shaped recession and something maybe like a w was and up and down a roller coaster situation. but at the very end, i'm quite confident that we are not really on v up the trust.
5:34 am
the it depends who we referred to. what has become very clear is that we're looking at k shaped recovery, the continued polarization. hollowing out of the middle class, the concentration of workers in low skills, low paid job, and then concentration of workers, and high skilled, high paid jobs. the pandemic was a major dis, a cool eyes. i think that is probably the key issue between rich and poor after the crisis that this trend is really accelerating. what about the record amounts of money government spending to rebuild economies? this is only going to maintain a status quo that already working. we will see more home office working from home and, and that means more options for highly trained and hydro educated workers. we've also seen, of course, in digitization and acceleration. again,
5:35 am
this favors highly educated people and all those who are able to walk in this digital digital digitalized world. and now post the pullback of some of the support measures. you can probably expect that for those that were already having a difficult time, things will get worse. there has definitely been a will transfer again to the wealthy and the like every everything that happens in western economy, the solution is to make it better by making the wealthy wealthier it has to be a day of reckoning for that. at some stage i heard a year ago, economists, daniel stint toby, just throwing money at the problem wouldn't work. also of the past 30 years, of solving all problems in the economy by having cheaper money and more credit and more loans. it's coming to an end. it didn't, governments have never spent so much, but daniel's still not a fan. what is the main drive off? why do the past 40 of easy credit, much more money because create
5:36 am
a low interest rate. and whenever that was a crisis instead of having to lose money instead of being setting. and so they should either either do the job and get to the financial system, big original role of funding for decorative investment and not speculation. so if you make a late and your make a mistake or lose your money and for the rescue, is there something positive that's come out of all of it, where you okay, the well working up, all of this, find the understand economic well i why don't 7 then economics, i doubt it, to be honest. i see a big risk to petition now have see, believe, let the other ones managing that and i think they have not done a go drop into corona crisis. i fear it's going to be lead to less efficient and effective solutions. and therefore, i would say it's an excuse to put difference to grasp more power. getting boulder
5:37 am
is going to pay off in the longer term because this is the moment to create the carry economy, to upgrade our education system, to put in place like long learning system to put in place, sustaining better social safety nets for the future. all of that happens now and what about globalization? the pandemic, broad international trade to a screeching halt. the main change over time, i hope will be more localized ation of the manufacturing. i think they've got far too lengthy supply chains. far too much vice and exporting shape wages and the rest of the world, and not developing the domestic economy where the consumption actually occurs. i do not think that globalization will be replaced by regionalization, localisation, we shouldn't forget that locally. concentrated production also has its risks. so what we are heading for, i believe, is less concentration, let's say on the cheapest supplier,
5:38 am
but more diversification to be more resilience in future crises. but this may even lead to more often, less globalization. i'm very skeptical fraud, for instance, about supply supply chain laws. because they split labor markets in poor countries trapped in commodities. and that is not the way we would see for let's say, poorer countries really to catch up technologically. it's not good that developing countries poor countries will always be commodity export us let's that's not the way to development to prosperity the, the, the, the crisis gave us all pause for thought. it gave the environment a break to, but not for long. and wherever the fires came from, even if it came from the hand lab, the ultimate cause of this crisis has been excessive human pressure upon the boss
5:39 am
here. and we're going to say more and more instances of that coming back. so like that, the tunnel maybe the fire, the forest burning it, if you bringing the factors down. all of us have seen one dire warning after another that talks about what, how, how far we have pushed to the limit the planet and how our current economic systems are not compatible with having a more sustainable and greener economy. we have to change our consumption habits, we'll do that. and maybe we'll be more social interconnection and maybe also social, let's say coherence. when we had it before, it has also shown us that maybe we can travel a little less, do more things from home be and that alone would be more environmentally friendly. so i think there are some positive aspect. of course, you know,
5:40 am
it would be better to if the next and them didn't come before, let's say under 2 years. well this one isn't even though we'd be to prepare the next one. we've had enough practice, spends more than enough time it locked down well enough navel gazing for me. let's look at some of the numbers now because we're not going to beat this buyers until everyone's back said it. that's happening at the very uneven rates as you'll see in a moment. and what's emerging is a very uneven recovery between rich and poor nations. remember where all in this together, wasn't that the slogan at the beginning of the crisis? well, the longer this takes, the more chance covey 19 has of mutating into something more dangerous than it already is. why don't well lead us get it?
5:41 am
in india, a new wave of the pandemic, his claiming thousands of knives, the leading to hundreds of thousands of new infections. daily bodies being burned in makeshift pi as the streets are deserted. business has dried up. some small stores have had to close or are about to go down on 3 of my stuff which were like 8 is or we used to look at myself. so now there are no more like working for my as i wouldn't be able to do it in a vaccination, is vital worldwide. but at the moment it's largely restricted to industrialized nations. the quota in emerging economies is, was too low. some $809.00 vaccine don't have been administered per $100.00 americans in germany. it's $62.00 doses per a 100 people. but argentina lags fall behind with only 28 doses in india. that figure stands only 15. and in south africa,
5:42 am
there are only 2 per $100.00 and yet south africa has by no means got the poorest record in africa. the continent is already paying a high economic price. according to the world health organization in africa. we need to know if these 3 countries, especially and up and up you look down different kinds of limitations of movement including probably show limits. michelle not further coded wave like that in india could severely home business in the emerging economies. that's why the world needs a global vaccination campaign, subsidized with billions of us dollars. that's what the organization for economic
5:43 am
cooperation and development in paris is urging its chief economist is clear about what that stake at. and now imagine markets when catching up with the old world with which it means of people when getting out of party, if we maintain the way they can be bought, i cannot imagine market to reach cannot catch up. and behind. here we go out to me, what would happen if vaccination didn't go global without a vaccine? us think tank projects that the worldwide economic impacts of cobit 19 would have been more than $3.00 trillion dollars a year on equal access to vaccine supplies could still cost the wells economy up to $1.00 trillion dollars was if all countries were fully provided with vaccines by the beginning of 2022, it estimates the losses could be kept down to $153000000000.00 us dollars with the
5:44 am
international monetary fund. as the prosperous g 20 states should dump up to $35000000000.00 us dollars for the global vaccination drive, emerging economies would have to contribute $15000000000.00. the i m f says this is the only way avoid a long lasting slum in the world economy. which would hit the emerging economies particularly hard is essential that all necessary financing is available as soon as possible. i'll see are the costs are not a trivial but beds wars by the outsides. benefits as we had been stressing a faster and to the point, they may not only say why the global vaccination program could result in trillions of euros of growth in the next 4 years. if economies continue to recover. but that
5:45 am
will only happen if the pace of rollouts his really stepped up worldwide, and the spread of more aggressive virus strength is stopped. 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, univision, that happy to help earning in or caching in on 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 always available. working from home. it's enough to send you mess and go with her.
5:46 am
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's just, i'd have been out several times otherwise 4 years ago. and now she wants from berlin. quit her stable job and became an entrepreneur. she's now a freelance yoga instructor who teaches in several studios. but since to pandemic, her classes have been canceled and come to me for me. the pandemic was mainly marked by existentialist variety. and at the beginning it was unclear if i could even continue my job. for starters, i was completely on my own much and how would i cope with it? this all brought up fears for the future and the unknown sort of oversight forward . and she's one of many millions of people have been seeking psychological support
5:47 am
since the cobra crisis. the simplest way and since the pandemic so called mindfulness apps, have taken off with their instructions for breathing, sleeping, and guided medications to read the stress and control anxiety. awesome 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. that gives me a good feeling. for me, the mindfulness 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 he was one of the people profiting from that
5:48 am
boon. my mueller's, i'm 36 and i'm a co founder of 7 mind. in 2014, he and his co founder developed germany's personal meditation and mindfulness happened something about 2020 was an extraordinary year for us on many levels. of course, the number of downloads use is increased massively. i'd say up to 50 percent from the previous year or so very substantially as well as me. i think for some of these doors for a long time, their endeavors was laughed at. some cup out of the reasons to exercise physically are accepted. if you don't know, you looked at strangely like what a lazy or a couch potato or whatever color potato. but i think soon it will be the same. if you don't train your mind, it's still considered to be a bit of new age mumbo jumbo. understand. but over the last few years, this is shifted a lot about as a company we've benefited. and i'd say it's a much more accepted topic now. on the entrepreneur feels he's been proven right.
5:49 am
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 a lot of information from them. but are these apps useful or just inexpensive gimmick and psychologist johan, this child is investigating why they 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. and here's where the problems life some practitioners even refer to my neck. and mindfulness justice is on the one hand, it's good that the apps have gone mainstream, very easily accessible and often not very demanding. but there's the risk that
5:50 am
people will equate this with the practice of mindfulness. sometimes with a life can and ab replace a course played by a professionals for entrepreneur and box it can she doesn't want to do without her digital coach who's always available for her. no matter what time or place me. of course, you can forget all those apps if you'll 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 or you can't make an appointment online sometimes. and yet all this technology is at our fingertips. the german state health departments a still using fax machines to report their corona virus case numbers. officials have to enter those figures into the system manually. what's out with the content
5:51 am
in germany? compared internationally, it's dismal. peak download speeds worldwide show that other countries are way ahead . and germany lives in to take 35th place. but why? let's go back in time to the early 980 and to the vin chancellor of west germany. me, how much my big april, 981. he declared that as soon as the technical prerequisites have been met, toich a bonus 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 household have a connection of 50 megabits per 2nd. germany needs foster internet and not just
5:52 am
during the pandemic. this is supposed to be a high tech country. driverless cars will be hitting the outer button 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 1982, a new government took office in west germany. tell me a call became chancellor calls crept the fiber optic plans and relied on germany's tried and tested copper 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 miles of the junction box is still
5:53 am
mostly copper, and that slows down the he's in it. but it's a germany didn't start promoting broadband until 2015, which was pretty late by international standards. fiber optic lines better and faster. but replacing old telephone lines is expensive. and time consuming. the student takes at least 2 years, even if the money is available from issuing the tender until the line is ready. so when will these gaps be closed? then if we're talking about expanding the fiber optics to improve the gigabits applied to the fix line network, then 2030 seems like a realistic goal to meet what germany's economy minister is considering acting as stoney of health. not only uses frustrated, but germany's network problems hindered competitiveness and damage. it's image abroad. however, in january 2021,
5:54 am
there was some welcome use. germany's parliament has decided to get rid of its fax machines. hallelujah. so some of us are finally loading some lessons from this pandemic, but others of us still struggling a little is all of kreger. the thought then is it no idea? what channel is 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? not that i don't like this at all. where's your soft focus and i need a different background. i want meadow visa meadow with flowers and
