to remind myself, because i grew up in a completely different way. for the station. jewish in europe. the 2 port documentary starts july 5th on d, w. i me, tragedy is unfolding enough. cobit 19 is running rampant in the capital capital. across the land security forces are losing the battle with italy back. the hospitals, a full us and nato troops are leaving oxygen supplies are running out what happens when covered

19 attacks, a country at war what come talk will be $900.00 spatial. i want to get johnson berlin, thanks for joining us. the start of the pandemic. we often heard that the corona virus is some grade level because it attacks rich and poor alike. but there's a difference. a lot comes down to a countries health care system, or the lack of it to this hospital in kabul has had to close its doors. no more admissions. it's full as are the cities, other main hospitals, cov, in 1900 patients line. the rooms struggling to breathe, kept alive with oxygen, that's in limited supply. a moment our general number of patients is high about 40 to 50 patients who need to be admitted come here every day. but unfortunately, there's no more room for them for them. with hospitals full, a persistent shortfall of oxygen, and

a general failure to adopt precautions like masks, and social distancing. afghanistan has entered its worst period yet, of the pandemic. for those turned away by doctors, it's a daunting task to get treatment. there's desperate demand for oxygen. families of the sick gather outside production plants hoping to get their cylinders refilled before it's too late. either monday that my father is sick and may only have oxygen for another hour or 2. i bought a small cylinder here to fill up with oxygen for him. but we have a problem here too because some cars bring 40 to 50 cylinders and those are filled up very quickly and we won't get our turn to be on a mac. and i didn't know about the oxygen crisis and ghana. stan mimics the shortages that nearby india faced weeks ago. and some would argue,

was foreseeable. the acting minister of public health was summoned by lawmakers for an explanation on monday. the appeal is out for international aid. but supplies are still low. those who want oxygen now have to pay dearly not that doesn't make and i came here to fill my cylinder with oxygen because there's no more room for patients in hospitals. i bought the cylinder at a very high price, and it's very difficult because we make an appointment here at 10 o'clock at night . but it's not our turn until 10 o'clock the next day. rights group have urged the government to procure more oxygen and vaccines. so far, only 2 percent of the population has received jobs. and years of war have already weakened the health care system. that's now one of the world's most unprepared for the pen demik of his energy. and for more, i'm joined by ro hula royan. he's a researcher and lecturer at the midst, and faculty in of cognitive university in tumble is also head of quality assurance

. so very good to have you with us. and we've just seen this report, campbell's health care system overwhelmed by the spread of virus. what's causing this crisis? why? campbell, not better prepared. we are where we come regarding the great 19 infection as a street in rapidly and a digital writing every did the lack of health percentages all the way in cobbled best hospitals are not meeting new patients and the lack of a medical personnel. and i had to increase and i'm not fine. and another thing is

that the forward to the power to end up fighting is i've got a big problem and i've run a floor and they cannot afford to go to find it to why susan, for the patients and money is going on. so they are not health percentages for, for the people, for the fish. and so the problem all of that, there are a lot of different factors here play, but the african government claims that it's spent $200000000.00 on fighting the pandemic. where did all that money and top that's why the government claims that the $200000000.00 bank for pricing agreed $19.00. but to my point of view, we do not have. we don't see the effectiveness of that money that you spend. we see

that people are testing a lot of problem shortages, although, and especially in and walk submission is not going and not often available for the people. and i don't think the reports of going to send you this money. so these are the things that we don't to see. i think it is. it has not been effectively right. maybe one good thing if you can see anything good in all this afghan is done, is there a young countries from 70 percent of the population? they're under 30. is that a good or a bad thing? when it comes to fighting the pandemic? i think it is a, our route for song goes more, most of the population is young, but it is rising. this 19

infecting both they all the old depot. but did maybe do more than young people, but is everybody sticking to measures? how do people protect themselves? are they all wearing masks? i know that the ministry of health has issued certain protocol, are people following that? another another. the problem is that the people following the rule does that people off called a social defenses around, i'm not going to go out to out of and maybe down and down. they are falling social distances. so either cause of this is treating rapid 19 and this,

this problem is following up the protocol, why not? the, the, maybe a minute ago, some people are not believing in great nitrogen and about maybe did they come up before to buy it off. so me and a lot of factors and they're going to also not forcing them from the i find which for the do to follow the search of the sense that i all in a government asking people to follow that protocol. when i draw roy and they have from i counted university in cobble, thank you so much for your time. thank you. thank you very much. thank you so much . what time? now for more of your questions?

and as always, derek williams is here to answer them. paul, what are the consequences of not receiving the 2nd do so the vaccine on schedule or north, the told, oh, different vaccines work in different ways. so there isn't really a kind of one size fits all response to this question. but one thing is really clear in that that it's definitely a bad idea to skip the 2nd shot of a 2 dos regimen. completely. experts say that's because it plays an essential role in hyping up your immune system to deal with a possible future exposure. the 2nd dose encourages your body to generate particular cells that are able to, to remember stars toby to even though you might never have had at the 1st dose,

initiate the response and set the immune system on high alert. while the 2nd helps cement the memory of the pathogen providing more powerful protection that's, that's also likely to be a lot more long term. so although the 1st dose provides some protection, it's really important to follow up with the 2nd one because until you get it, you'll be a lot more vulnerable. the question of whether or not you can delay a 2nd dose is a little more tangled and our understanding of what doing that means is still evolving. the rollout in britain has contributed a lot to what we do know since it focused early on getting as many people as possible. their 1st shots, which meant delaying 2nd doses from the recommended 3 to 4 week interval to 2 up to 12 weeks. and people who received the astrazeneca vaccine there, the longer interval actually improved immune response. and

a recent study still under review, implies that it might do so and those fascinated with pfizer by on tech as well, or, or at least in the elderly. the researchers found that in older people waiting 12 weeks between pfizer, by on tech shots instead of 3 to 4 weeks, cause a more powerful antibody response. in general though, authority say people need to still be getting 2nd doses after the recommended intervals, simply because that's where we have the most robust data, the data from trials me. and just a reminder how fragile a controlled pandemic situation can beat. new zealand says, paused it's travel bubble with australia. but after a traveler from sidney, visited was infected with crow, with 19 sydney, struggling with

a spike in case numbers as local authorities announced a ban on people leaving the city for non essential reasons. and that's all from me and the team of cove in 1900 special. thanks for watching the news . do you like it? do you want it? okay. then luckily, put the pedal to the metal and let's ride the rest. on the w.

william had to be on with i and i had known that the would be that small and i never would have gone on the trip. i would not have put myself and my parents got the theme that i would love. and i said when i had a serious problems on a personal level, and i was unable to live there. and i knew their story, migrants clarified and reliable information for migrants. it's about billions. it's about power. it's about the foundation order, the new silk road. china wants to expand its influence with this trade network also in europe. china is promising this partners rich profit

in europe, and there's a sharp warning you ever accept money from. the new super power will become dependent on in the china gateway starts july 1st on dw, the, the scene from a midsummer night's dream, shakespeare classic adapted from by lay by american for other, for don't know way meyer performed here by his very own hamburg, valet, which has been under his directions in the early 900 seventy's and here the performance actually hit the big green. well, it's

a film that's a direct result of germany. second covered, locked down a creative upside. you might say, kicking off today's edition of arts and culture. so a warm welcome because very few artists were quite as productive during lockdown as the 82 year old john, knowing my are his midsummer night's dream set to music by mendelssohn, by tale and george liggins. he has been part of hamburg repertoire since $977.00 performed by the world's leading companies, including the opera, the party and moscow's bullshit. lockdown was the chance to finally realize his vision unfilled and prepared on midsummer night. as if by magic. the preparations for a wedding had an aristocratic home in athens hip holiday, the amazon queen mary theses, after it's just one of the interconnecting plots in

a midsummer night's dream. the film version of this l. a. based on the play by william shakespeare was shot in february under lockdown conditions, act, the premier, had been rescheduled several times so it was important to, to use this time in a good way and not to do a streaming, which for me it is always a kind of compromise because we just sort of, you know, do a documentary of what happened on that night, but to actually do a real film. so it was, it was a very important moment for the company to rehearse, to have a goal. and actually to, to be able to do this film. the result is a compelling belly film shot over 3 days and using 7 cameras. the lavish film production gives the realm of fairies and elves and especially magical feel. that's

underscored by the contemporary music by george, really getting the idea was to go away from the 19th century idea of a fairy world as something that's kind of twitter re and glittery. and that it is something of pure energy, very strong. a very physical, a very fast dynamic choreography is as complex and varied as the plot dancers draw from a limitless repertoire movement, even heading into slapstick territory. ah, all of that makes this so much more than simply

a ballet documentary. the touching intimacy of the lovers is made almost tangible to the viewer. shooting, took place under strict covet 19 precautions, including constant testing, joy of making. the film clearly outweighed the inconveniences. yeah. such experiences go through, you know, everybody was trying to teach time do technically the same at the same time. find something new in the teaching and relationship that we had each each day to try and do it a bit different and find something between ourselves. but it was returned to live performances of the ballet won't take away any of the magic of the spill. me. what i really liked was the different camera position and the editing it to be the physical movements were amazing. that was no longer people in those costumes. that was pure fascination. putting up the dvd of the film is being released this

summer and then anyone in the world can enjoy this classic ballet in for k quality . as often as they like. me. 2021, mar, 1700 years of jewish life in germany. that's an anniversary that's being marked with a year of celebration and special events, one of which was the premier, this month in cologne. of the musical farce. muscles of a rock early in the starring role is dalia sash though, and israeli mess. soprano, who's been with the cologne opera for 25 years, a real qu for this production because alongside her classical career, ms. chester has a real soft spot for often forgotten yiddish songs. dolly especially grew up on a kibbutz, but nowadays she feels like a colo needed here. she's on her way to the final rehearsals for the dish musical muscle tone. muscle toes can be translated as congratulations. but that doesn't

quite capture it. when i am, glass of glass falls on the floor, you say muscle tone. then when someone gets married, you say muscle. and if there's an argument and someone slammed the door in a rage, you also say novel tough. you can say it in almost any situation. goggan is out. my little cousin, agnes m. as in backstage, the soprano was transformed into an eccentric cabaret singer from 1900 century or death. she's just one of many over the top characters in the musical. ah, these aren't just a pretty wild evening of theater. there is a woman sitting in her alone apartment to trying to celebrate pass over. and over the course of the evening. several of her ancestors from various generations appeared to her and offend and things get crazy on and i'll so she think it hurts

you on and on the, on the civic i think he took on why didn't i the songs are performed which talia 1st had to learn this. oh yes, i have my people in israel kersin yiddish, or people said to me, for instance, a shame made a la or a michelle going to call me. and i was always fascinated as a child. even though i didn't understand any of the snakes for stanton habit me shuster, whose ancestors were from eastern europe, has recently recorded an album of songs by crack o poet more than i could be a tech who was murdered by the nazis singing his songs. means keeping them alive.

we could even, i think this thought i these seamless music because it's important to me because it is a need for me to mention that he does know people what it does to them, thus need in math. oh, really assist their hopes to open hearts with her music. and she would like audiences for muscle tone to be open to just enjoying themselves away from religion and historical memory. sharp midline point though bookish walk and i told my friend about it and he said to do a piece about living, choose not to talk to you or. and the jews in this piece are very much alive to sense in silver for liberty. the

summer in europe can have its upsides and its downsides. like here in the shots of an italian beach on the re attic. this is how german photographer bell has lung prefers to look at the world from way up in the air because it allows him to capture the myriad patterns that we humans make on the surface of the earth and the obvious impact of our activities on the environment. whether good or bad is certainly worth a double take. so right voice going out now. in the user phase images unique photographer than hotline, but outside the bubble, far outside, he shoots pictures straight down from about 1000 meters up. this time his subject is an open page link. nice mind. eastern german city of compo, textures and patterns revealed from here. i think they're very interesting that 50 year old band hotline has been shooting pictures of the stuff is far and wide since

2010. he's supposed to have project aerial views present, some very unaccustomed perspectives of fish bombs off the coast of greece. julia appealed in the netherlands and crew ships at sea. ah, the advertising talkers, i got the idea is aerial photos while looking out the window of an airplane. if you have any speaker which was pretty much the whole world, at least in our civilized regions, and especially in germany, has been shaped by human hands. get started when can know these or i increase in this intervention is so radical. and so interesting to me that i want to capture it in my own image of the ban hotline has won numerous awards for his aerial views such as the renown sony well and photography, a warrant for his images of the ranks and files of parasols on the overcrowded

beach, it does italy's adrian coast, mass tourism is abstracted and color coded to meet with them open and say, i don't want to work my finger at anyone with this. i just want to show these view builder, and i want to make the pictures interesting. anesthetic in terms of the science is pictured turns beverage crates into what kind of bond chart, plastic fields of greenhouses into abstract designs and phosphate minds, interest phantasy landscapes. the one source for that hotline subject is centralized photos on the internet. but often they turn out to be outdated. this is done to make up their lights. that's just a stimulus for me to see what it looks like now in reality, from a helicopter about photography shot monkeys. and i know some things can't see there anymore. so it gives me an extra motivation to see what i can actually get to the

bus, mostly the doors being removed from his side at the helicopter. so he can get just the right angles. all that keeps ban hotline on board is a single scrap, but all he's wired about is holding onto the expensive lenses. while he changes them, he gives the pilot exact directions. now let's turn along this axis that way and then slow down please. use the open pit mining east in germany, turns out to be a richly diverse location and a productive subject with its many sins and strong chests. after an hour in the air, he gets push on. he wants band hotline release. the camera shot to over $700.00 times in that one hour. the. these are the results of today's photo shoot. now the aerial view to come to the attention of the renowned national geographic magazine. toby publishing

a book of ban hotlines beds i viewed in 2021 and we'll look forward to that much food for thought in those images from above. certainly an invitation for us to consider our effects on the planet. well, that's all for this time on arthur culture until we meet again. go, well, stay safe and all the rest underlined. ah, finally, he can take the trip again. ah, my normal 9 days is doing he's 99 pilgrimage on the way of st. james, during the virus pandemic that was close to thousands of pills. the now minority has rediscovered his why disease because the way of st. james is a journey, not a destination. focus on europe. in 30 minutes, d, w into the conflict with tim,

sebastian. libya has a new government of national unity which promises free election by the end of this year. but the road blocks at places are on militia group. so whole power throughout the country. i guess this week has come in via libby as the u. n. n. geneva, how will this new government succeed? conflict? 90 minutes, dw, hijacking. the news where i go wrong. the news is being hijacked. journalism itself has become a script reality show. it's not just good versus evil us versus them black and white. in countries like russia, china, turkey, people are told and if you're a journalist there and you try to get me on that, you are facing scare tactics, intimidation. and i wonder, is that where we're headed as well?

my responsibility as a journalist is to get beyond the smoke and mirrors. it's not just about being fair and balanced or being neutral. it's about being trues. my name is brent golf and i'm working in frankfurt, a international gateway to the best connection, self road and radio located in the heart of europe. you are connected to the world experience of standing shopping and dining offers and try our services. be our guest at frankfurt airport city, managed by frank board. oh,
