the news. i'm melissa chant, thanks for joining us. india's migrant workers have suffered and struggled at terribly because of the pandemic. they have died from co bid. they have lost jobs. they have had to abandon the cities and return home. and most feel the government has not adequately stepped in to help. but for some, the pandemic disruption has proved a silver lining back home. like so many other people around the world, they have taken a stock of what's important to them and have found a way to make it work. the pandemic cost him his job. ken, ram garcia, was working far from home when the lockdown came talking 4 months to get back to his village in rochester state. there he had family but no paid work. then he heard

of training courses for migrant labor, is in the nearby city will die poor. now he's learned to operate a sewing machine lockdown, have ela for that, and that the lockdown, i worked as a stonemason was greenwich in the city of threat. i was there from 2012 in the lockdown announcement came so suddenly everything was shut down. guy and prime minister. moody said the government would take care of us, but nothing happened. we weren't even allowed out on the street. the police would beat us with their batons as soon as we left the house. then they monitor for a 1000 routine or live in euros. the step academy provides a one month training course, including accommodation and meals. as well as textile work, the school offers a wide range of courses from head dressing to electrical installation, as well as repairs to mobile phones and cause attendance. school director believes the return of migrant workers is good for the local

economy and, but when they, which i don't think they will often cover today because of the pandemic, we've trained around a 1000 young people. many of them are found who had locally are open businesses is creating jobs because employers and business owners are returning to the villages and it will be more time and i will be going with the certificate to me. also partners with local enterprises he provide on the job training like here on this construction site and the governor. the trainees are in a minimum wage and can be fully qualified and 12 months. that's i got gone, got the. i worked in a kitchen in google out and then $5000.00 rupees or 55 years a month. i had to work non stop even night. i came home just before the lockdown and plan to stay here. the work is better and so the wages i'm home in the mornings and evenings so i can help out with the housework. sounds good. we're going to be that the teacher ram is happy to be back on the land. despite the hardships he and

his wife leave in a remote village, which they can only reach on foot. i had at certain length as there was no cities or okay, but the loud and dirty. i'd much rather live in the village. that's better here. ken around garcia's months of training is coming to an end. he's now contacting local taylors, who might offer him a job. he's determined to stay close to his family and not returned to serat or any other large city to seek work. oh man, i went far away again. i couldn't look after my children, so i'd rather look for work close to my village. got on and off for a visit to a local shop. he's hope so high. the oh, no wanted proof of his sewing skills and things to his training,

kind of ram garcia was able to show him once he's causes over, he's been promised to be a job waiting for him. or d, w corresponded. myisha guys will told us more about how representative around story is for india's migrant workers who were hit harder by the pandemic. second wave been there and you do. why different guy you support to mike saw you like this one battle creating it, but knowing what my back was bought, we saw under the 1000 for my daughter the div off of the locked lock down. and once again, the current localized lockdown that you thought during india that can be and menu gone home to and that was what you are provisions as well as medical or the also last year we spoke to my parents and they agreed that they would much rather

know the religious clothes for their families that were to the city, but there's a lack of opportunity. and this is what truly migration and actually, and once again, you're going to go through the live to drape. now, despite the opportunity more to be my thought to don't do the job as well as active and have pointed out. seeing that this down i'm going to need to be have have the migrant partner one of the walkability factor into and thing that is that many migrant spend back on saving during the 1st week and eventually and the debt as well. and then we'll be beginning to be asking, normalizing before that that can be hit. so now we have no savings back on many actually to the back of the do you because unlike the national lockdown of last year, this year on down like an extended week upon weeks. so they have to be in congo at

the lack of permissions. i lack of money, i think be putting up again in addition, the center had the topic to do migrant getting the locked log down button to the top of the provision and going to the dash strong. these were not, i mean you to not provided in the lock down that have to some provisions rolled out by the center to see it, but not to the extent of the global inequality uncovered. 19 vaccination has meant that rich nation, such as the united states, have been able to race ahead with their campaigns. while countries of the global south have struggled to buy vaccines and often ones with lower efficacy rates. in indonesia, a spike in new cases is adding to the pressure to be vaccinated. so some people have decided to jump the queue by jumping on a plane. the corona virus has hit us like nowhere else,

but when it comes to vaccinations, few countries have done better. its abundance of fact seen is the envy of many where the jobs are still in short supply. in indonesia, some are tired of waiting and are prepared to travel to get their shot. vaccine tourists like mohammed risky butram, my the senior living. i haven't had the vaccine here in indonesia, so i might as well go to the us and get it there. why not? it's free for indonesian travel agents. it's an easy pitch to a public, tired of restrictions and eager to get on with life. this company lost most of its business in the pandemic. now they say vaccination trips can benefit everyone if they do that man helping out people who want to get vaccinated, but having trouble getting a shot since they also want to travel one or combine both and and with

indonesia, mainly vaccinating with china sign back and the astrazeneca shots, a trip to the u. s. can offer different brands. it doesn't come from the brochure. i learned that will get johnson and johnson. my husband and i checked out the company and it's a large one. so we trust their research and believe this vaccine as good. my niece mcgrew is less than 5 percent of indonesians have been fully vaccinated. one of the lowest rates in the world health officials warn it could be some time before the vaccines are available to everyone. from what i think i want vaccinations to be evenly distributed, but we need to prioritize areas that need the most case numbers are still very high in jakarta, so it will definitely be prioritized as it struggles to meet vaccination targets. indonesia is also tightening covered restrictions as it battles

a new surge. but for those who have a visa and enough money protection could be just a 20 hour plane ride away in cambodia like in so many places, pandemic restrictions have brought travel to a halt. and with cases surging now in many parts of asia, the borders have generally been closed and travel off limits. but one transport company has found a way to offer travel attics, a taste of what they're missing. what looks like a grand adventure is actually a journey to nowhere. this train is not leaving the station, but instagram errors can still rack up their likes by just staying put on cambodia as royal railway. when we come out to take pictures and have coffee, it helps reduce my stress. because during this pandemic,

i stay home most of the time. and there was a lockdown, so it's really stressful of training travel has largely ground to a halt in cambodia capital city due to corona virus lockouts. but when restrictions relax and pens a new train, cafe is a favor backdrop to come and strike a pose. the sophie takers can then relax inside with an ice coffee and more screen time. after life under locked down, the cafe owner says customers just want an escape. even if the scenery stays the same. from that. so we converted a passenger carriage into the train cafe. we didn't make a lot of changes to it so that its original look wouldn't disappear. because when gasoline come into the train cafe,

they can have the same feeling like drinking while they're writing a train. in the general and for this taste of adventure, you don't need a ticket. all you need is attitude. that's it for today you can get more on our website, d, w dot com, forward slash age and follow us on social media. will leave you with pictures of that migrating herd of elephants capturing international attention in china's united province. the latest news is they found food on a farm and have enjoyed a summer time bath. thanks for watching and see tomorrow, goodbye. who's

you feel worried about me to neil post of the on the green fence protocol and to me we need to change the solution. go up and join me for a deep sized degree transformation for me to use for the the the ah was this is a performance of the jerusalem symphony orchestra under the direction of israeli american conductor, stevens, sloane, their current, maestro, born in los angeles,

he spent the 1980 s in israel, and he's now a citizen of the world, but based right here in berlin as performance was to mark, is really independence day back in april. and now the j. s. o is on tour. here in germany. their 1st time back to this country in 10 years, as part of a year long celebration of 1700 years of jewish life in germany. and with that welcome to arts and culture. and it's a great pleasure to have steven sloan joining me right now from the concert house in berlin, where he'll perform tonight with the jerusalem symphony orchestra. welcome stephen . and tell us what's on the program tonight. really exciting programs. first of all, to important is where the composers with jewish is really one area, but really non chevy repeats in memorial. in fact, rubbing and the former prime minister was really worked hard for the peace process

. and if somebody didn't come in the caustic areas where the composer, nobody in building together with the for the general. but they told them plain by the legend, elizabeth gaia, followed by the amazing orchestral showcase the fire sweep from eagle students. so really wonderful, wonderful sort of spread of flavors and influences from the mediterranean up to sort of classical europe. this is your 1st tour stephen, since the coven pandemic began, i know it's a very, very big deal for you personally. how does it feel to be on the road again, playing to live audiences that we've been in the debit for over a year now. and you know, in the israel think them over the already a bit earlier. so we've been used to playing for audio. but now we have to find the year germany and other places in the world opening up and it's thrilling for us all about 1700 years of jewish life in germany. that's the celebration year. that is,

is the reason for this tour. you've spent many years here in germany yourself. 27 of them as general music director of the book and symphony, but also with appearances as guest conductor for many other orchestra's. just tell me how special is this anniversary for you? well, you know, the be important and willing to think the relationship between germany, israel is of course crucial and that jewish lives have been here for 1700 years. is in many ways even give them a history, amazing achievement. and it's an honor for us. and the privilege for us to be able to represent israel, adams, and other people in this important to now, and i'm sure, obviously it's particularly special for the musicians just quickly. absolutely. we are. we are dedicated to bringing cultural and art not only is all

but hopefully have ambassador to the world because jerusalem is not only the capital of his many ways. also the capital of the world, certainly for the, for 3 main religion. and we feel it's very important that we are able to really present ourselves as a whole. i'm of israel site. now you work with a lot of young musicians and he's conducting at the university there couldn't stay here in berlin. how easy or difficult is it to get young people excited about classical music today? and what do you try to convey to them just quickly? well, you know, you know, the age of technology in the internet, a lot of people are shying away from live music. but i certainly believe that we have amazing talent at the university, the auction for them and our conducting program. i think it's distinctive. we're working very hard to bring the next generation of musicians into the orchestra and operate on very important work. i certainly wish you all the best for tonight,

for the rest of your tour, and for your personal finale in bo home. thanks very much for joining me. steven sloan, thank you. now to the visual artist, if a better end is whose work occupies the space between painting, sculpture and public, r 2 could say, awesome. questioning the relationship between image making in the architecture or even everyday object. well now she's based in berlin, although she's originally from bon and is the recipient of this here is bon coast price, which means that she's now working on a major show to exhibit there in 2023. the fabric is one of if a baron does favorite materials to work with, born in bond in 1974, back and sees herself as a picture maker. she creates pictures from various materials office as i find the fabric is great for using on large surfaces. i like that you can just change

a whole room completely with such a light material with a suitcase full of all compared for an income. so when is a picture, a picture? that is the central theme for the 47 year old artist? i do abstract paintings and also still life painting. ah, i do painting in a broad sense. if i said i was a sculptor, no one would think i was chisel down. everyone knows i can work with car tires. i can work with anything. but with painting i still have to explain it. my mother, i am with ah, a for there has an expanded and the contemporary ideas painting the jungle. gym can also be a painting. but at the same time it can also be in everyday object. it all depends

on the context on the way it's red. and on where it's placed, ah, it's more of a mental climbing. of course, if you put it in a playground, no one would think of it as a painting. and if you put it in a gallery, no one would climb on it normally all, but this game to climb up mentally, or to understand it as a game. to look at a real jungle gym on the playground as a picture. that's the point. that's why i would undergo that isn't, this is mine. what looks like sculpture is painting for a barondess surface color and composition. a bicycle lock or a rope or splashes of color, tangible and offering stories that go beyond the picture. that can, i mean at the core is actually a kind of stepping out of everyday life and to look at things with

a different eye. again. what does something look like? what is something like? and how do i perceive it to me because i think that's very productive to leave those familiar paths again. and again, one of those will be gone on to for that. so scarves and tennis rackets, hats and newspaper pages find their way into if a baron does works, why painted depiction of an everyday object when the object itself can become an element to the painting in a new arrangement. and so a pair of them becomes a way to modernize the classics to life come in boone, so i can see the pairs them as a little shape because a little curve and opposition to the rectangle. or i can just see it as organic garbage in august and move the artist who lives in berlin. but hale's from dawn is the winner of the 2021 bon art award. because she deals with the themes of everyday life and illusion in her work. in

a fascinating way. 5 5 this is a time, it's actually really nice for me that i will now once again be more present in the city. was my work as well as through this price, that's super well and so as many unto it uses everyday objects in a similar way perhaps. but with different results, the cypriot artist takes inspiration from the great spanish architect and tony gold di and has created a slowly expanding art project, complete with some holiday lodging. that revels in wild color and organic even psychedelic forms, actually named euphoria, art bland. we paid a visit nearly muscle. the 1st thing with colorful artwork and lush, we knew nothing suggest that this new spot on the mediterranean island, the cypress was one says it needed to be rubbish. dump artists in minneapolis, you recycle materials decreases euphoria art plan,

word spread and move. people wanted to see some even skilled. the want to see this private paradigm, visitors can register for a proper viewing issue. our plan is inspired by his many travels and was incentives for to see how people they are living in that homes large di the culture. whenever i was going, guy was drinking with me and different su, any is containers. i didn't know because i like to collect different stuff. i didn't knew actually that i will use one day. but right now, yes, i use everything all most so far. he's created 3 different architectural ensemble each with a character bassoon. and yet, they all seem like a supreme version of the modern, his creations,

by world famous spanish architect and 2030. i go to the philosophy of him, let's say to be more are going to forms. and organics means that you can get something that already exists in that nature, because you will never find a straight line in the nature or if you received some of his building material in 2012 for free. when cyprus was threatened with bankruptcy, many companies had to clues. instead of throwing away things like ceramic tiles, they gave them to the artist. it was the start of a project for which i'm source many answers. and many volunteers. many different cultural influences are visible, eduforia art lands interior design that these get inspired by travels to columbia and mexico.

i idea from much to miss one, the yellow mushroom that have these holes between. and he's beautiful. that's why now i lead nature go slowly, slowly, slowly and connect more plants from all over the world are part of the ensemble not only different cultures, but also flora and fauna inspire. and so marianne, for the after sunset, euphoria when i'm the choir, as a whole new mystical aura amazing stuff. finally monday, june 21st was a big day for electronic music, pioneers, omission. not only because he was a headliner at the annual federal and museum, which is a fixture on friends with cultural calendar for 40 years now, he was also awarded the insignia of commander to the legion of honor by president in monterey. michael himself, that's one of france's highest military honors. and so we'll leave you with joe me
