so much more down roads we know names. we fearlessly deliver relentless promise to make every delivery special. ah, not just next day, but every day me. thousands of children still waiting for their delivery. sponsor talks today. so together we can deliver futures. you're watching d. w. news asia coming up today. what happened to taiwan once, a paragon of how to tackle the pandemic. it now faces covert peril. with most of the population, unvaccinated and living under locked down, we take a closer look. and in indonesia which resources is more precious than or fish. that depends on who you ask as liners and fishers based off plus preserving

pakistan t cox how concert conservation is managed to say the 1st one facing population decline. the news i melissa chance, thanks for joining us. taiwan. why is such a success story throughout the 1st year of the kobe pandemic? at the start of 2021, you could count the total number of deaths on your hands, and then things went sideways. the country is 23000000, has seen a spike this summer with more than 14000 cases. and based on the latest information on thursday, 599 deaths, less than 7 percent of people have had their 1st vaccine injection, which means hardly any one is fully vaccinated. d, w one really has more running in and out every day. 39 year old mister chan delivers 300 orders

a week. the reason covey. the outbreak in taiwan has brought him more orders, but he has to take more risk. think over 90 percent of the population like him have a being fascinated, a little bit high. no, i live with my 5 children, my wife and my mother. you asked me if i'm worried about them. of course i am. i had so many children and i worry that i might get them infected please. hello john, you are the father of 5. he have no choice but to go out and make money. so good to i hope the government can offer food delivery drivers, vaccines as soon as possible. quite, you know, we're in contact with so many people doesn't. it's not hundreds every day by the you know, too many are still waiting. while the vaccination program for abilene started really last week back saying that taiwan has received today can only cover one 5th up as 23500000 people. there isn't enough vaccine support,

you know, we have an vaccines, can we do mass explanation? that's the 1st layer of protection for all the people that something that tie 1610, continued the virus. and the insistence on developing domestic vaccines might have delayed its back. the acquisition strategy, and it was our mis judgment on last year, not being able to for seeing that there will be said direction shortage. and we might have being a bit too confident about what we could do in terms of our own dramatically developed or vaccine. at least $11.00 is fasting company has finally reviewed as phase 2 clinical trials this month. and how to apply for taiwan. emergency use authorization, it could be taiwan. hope weather is efficacious,

though not still remains the open question, but at least sufficient scientific data to think it might be efficacious in such regard. just to have it approved, in case of need to someone can use it. while the pony is fasting is still waiting for authorization. the government is trying to secure more overseas jap, so that people like mr. chang will no longer need to worry that day and their families could get infected. joining us as d w when he li and ty pay, who filed that report when he, let's talk about this domestic vaccine and trials. how advanced and robust is tiwana pharma industry? i mean, we hear about the big players in europe in the us and generic production in india, but taiwan. does it even have a reputation for cutting edge medical r n d? so actually it's high. why now have 2 companies developing domestic,

coby nightenback things. one is not mentioned in the report. another one is nike bio medical. these 2 companies are relatively small, but companies like manage and you have some experience working with leading organization such as us national institute house, for example, at how thing go developing vaccines against gay. and oh, so it just, now's a successful re child for the and true virus last week. so this time, this company method manager is developing the goal called the 19 back thing though with in cooperation with us national institute of house space. your child data looks really good. the expert safe, however, is how protective it still needs to be examined. now, given tie one strategy to bed on a domestic farm producer,

as well as it getting too comfortable with its cobit it. free status. are people demanding accountability from the government? so yes, 2 people here in high want to criticize the tony government for not getting enough vaccines from overseas. think that's how why high, why is developing its own call the nice thing back thing. we still haven't gotten things from overseas as well, but if we look back in march or april, there was actually a modem out of in the back thing coming in. and it's oh, it was open for public to give estimated for people who were willing to pay for themselves. how ever giving that time. we all knew that there was actually no cobit, almost no coby hearing. i want them, people feel the urgency and also didn't feel the pressure to get vaccinated and

some people even feel that as the last thing was not protected enough and they were rather wait for motor and i vaccine or 5 for vac thing. so that is why we cannot only live for the government here in taiwan people. oh, so how's the entire atmosphere here that there was no urge and people and the government back then also told, told the public that taiwan had time to wait when he lee. thank you so much for joining us. thank you. the 2 industries are clashing around in island in indonesia where lucrative tin mines have moved off shore, threatening the areas rich fishing grounds activists are trying to stop the mines,

moving out to sea. but in a place where a good paying work is hard to find, the mines have their supporters as well. a cluster of boats like an offshore village. but this is a mining operation. the work is a boat, these pontoons, dredging, the ocean floor in search of tin indonesia, the world's number one exporter. but for many it's now too tough to find tin assure that they will find something that's getting harder to mind, turn on land, one of them. so i had the mind at sea, but there are no more tin resources left on the land that you each point. so uses a pipe to suck up sand from the sea bed. it's then sifted to trap the glittery black granules of tin, all but local fishermen say they catch and their livelihoods a suffering because the mining they say it's destroying the underwater fish habitat

and polluting there once proceed waters and done by young coming at us. i got the minus impact on us is incredible. what i can tell by our shrinking catch, and we used to get 10 kilograms a day, now only to kilograms at all. gotta work it all by. while most fishermen sympathetic to the minus flight, they still demand an end to the activities. but i got some of my we know those miners of fighting for their lives and we appreciate that. but what they're doing is wrong that i fell off. years of land mining has ravaged many of indonesia islands living craters and highly acidic lakes behind. but despite the damage and the difficulties, the rising price of 10 is even bringing many people back to the business. somewhere else i need. my motto is as long as there is mining, there's hope because this place is heaven. as long as sand exists,

10 will always be the 11 day. and if international demand for 10 remains high, indonesia will likely have plenty of mine is out at sea. and on land. in a remote and dry corner of pakistan near the indian border, a wildlife sanctuary has protected a complex ecosystem for migratory war birds. it's a place for flamingos to store to pelicans live and it's where conservationists have made special efforts to save one of the rare bloom of a bird. the splendor as display of the indian blue peacock fanning out his feathers trying to attract the attention of some near by. hence the striking birds live in the wild in just a few remaining places. and this is one of them. the rent of coach was love century in pakistan's remote pack our region. but deforestation,

and recurring drought threaten even this last habitat. already if you are the margaret got to coaches, the birds will try to leave when they don't find enough water near the to migrate to find the get the loss and many on table to return my company. but a major crisis here said the, the boat on gosh, gotta be it. but now the p fell coming back. thanks to the efforts of wildlife conservationists who provide water for the birds all year round. bunny, joanna, we bring tank is full of water from mizzi and we distribute the water here for these birds funding up in we're trying to return this place to the p felt natural habitat so we can keep them here. local. they're

also playing a part in ensuring the p f. l survival as new villages and hamlets encroach on to the century. they've also increased the inviolable food and water. the money that i came here 6 years ago and saw these birds in a miserable condition. there is nothing to eat or drink money, they cannot. i used to live in miffy, but left my work there to come here and see these birds and they're not strong. seasonal rains have also helped the p fell population a decade ago and it's low point of 200000 birds today. conservation and can barely count them to sell. are you local? i'm sure we have millions of people. we're protecting them and god willing in the coming years the results will be even better than orbits emilita. so sites like this, clearly on the way back. a success story for peacock conservation in pakistan.

that's it for today. we leave you with pictures from tokyo as the city prepares for the summer olympics, which kicks off in just under a month. it's been a fraud and delay journey. thanks for watching and see you tomorrow to bye with the news . you ready to get all the places in europe are smashing all the records into a venture. just don't lose your grip. the treasure map for modern globe trotter's cover. some of us are wicker breaking

he works by british shelter. anthony finally, after pandemic induced delays on display in those sing, and the most significant solo, so ever in germany on the corona virus pandemic brought cultural life here in germany to such a sudden hold that many exhibitions that were long planned are just now getting their moment in the sun, a recent addition to berlin's already rich museum landscape is the for to liam, which as its name implies, imagine the intersect finality of nature, technology and society. in the future. in this black, you houses, berlin's booty and exhibition space, the rooftop skywalk, with a view over berlin's government order is a popular attraction inside the building, the exhibition focuses on one of life most pressing questions. how do we want to

live gabrielle? except the curator, we begin him as we begin with question. because how often do we ask in our daily life? how do we want our future to look like? and the name of the exhibition one, open the visitors eyes to why the perspective kaufman. these visions of the future were created by 150 researchers in cooperation with several designers. berlin, an art on com design studio, has one and award for the innovative use of media in the exhibition. a for often back is the creative director of the project. that was in a tie, a spectrum of interaction and design, important to us that we don't use media to ready exist today. kind of like touch screen instead focused on mental reality or just just control. so the idea of the future world is conscious. 40 interaction and not only convey textually from

this interactive dimension plays an important role in this area to. it focuses on how humans will treat the environment in the future. this marvel run symbolizes biological cycles and recycling processes in our everyday life. this huge wouldn't sculpture as the exhibitions main attraction. it was developed by a computer using a mathematical formula. well then thing that i area preside is course generative. design people and specifically, designers to sit in front of a computer, do not plan a specific product. instead, they plan a process on that, they press the button and then how the rhythm of lead to the final results and you don't design the find product, but instead you are creating that process that needs to it. so this is a wonderful new approach to design. mm hm. it's all about deceleration

and sticking to the basics, the idea is for visitors to reflect on their own lives. and forget about time. here hasn't been in the area is dedicated to humanity for. i think that one definitely can't. the focus is not on changing the world around us. but instead of thinking about how simon can change ourselves at behavior, by doing that, even though if the world's problems will simplify them in the tutorial encourages visitors to take their thoughts about the future home with them curator gabriela sipp wants everyone to get actively involved in my school and slip is or how we want to encourage our visitors to think about the future. after all, the future isn't something that appears out of nowhere over night and days that way . we shape our own future with men from human shape and every one is involved in this process and should play an active role in this. i name monday and thanks to

the visitor's help duty him will be continuously developed so that it remains a house of the future. speaking of shaping the future, it took a twist of the future to illuminate the past in amsterdam. and rembrandt masterpiece painting night wash from 1640 to just got a bit bigger. a marriage of art and artificial intelligence has enabled the right to them to recreate parts of the clinic painting that were snipped off 70 years after time and had finished well. and so, and john russell met during their studies in bordeaux later they worked in niger aneesha, one of the poorest countries in the world. and it was there that there shared architectural vision took shape. what i says it was like the 2nd school of architecture teaching them to be sparing with resources and to respect simplicity.

and as this year's winners of architecture is highest honor the principal prize, their advocacy of sustainability and social justice gains even more traction. a typical 1907, these apartment block in bordeaux quickly built ugly and not ecological friendly. so what should be done with it? tear it down and build something new for the french architectural office like a tall and that is simply not an option should never wish, never diminish because on ways we have to consider what he's already there, the memory, the life that people spend, even in difficult conditions. ready 530 public housing, you know, small and dark. the architect was an extension rather than demolition. paris modules were mounted on the old

facade and the outer will opened up to the new belt. it was a logistical challenge and we did it without removing any family from the from to believe what we say. i'm vision of transforming the, the space of living in a much better way. and we were expecting that it could really show the relevance of this process of transformation. the result was light filled spaces which can be individually configured, outfitted with thermal curtains and insulated glazing, which are usually found only in luxury luft. but this conversion costs just a fraction of what demolition and rebuilding would have cost affordable, sustainable construction using simple means, like i told him to bring social considerations back into architecture as well as ecological ones. for years, the dual has studied the construction and interior climate. if greenhouses already

at school we were interested by greenhouses, i think it's also linguist, transparency, that we really are interested in, in architecture. and the idea of playing with a climate and not fighting against these 2 buildings in dunkirk really do look like enormous greenhouses by the 1990 s. all that remained of the shipyard in the northern french city was a warehouse. you're marked to become a museum space. the 2 architects didn't want to get rid of its huge interior space . so instead of completely overhauling it, they built a similar warehouse next to it. now it's one of frances most spectacular exhibition spaces. pritzky surprises, recognition of the timeliness of the dual approach to building honoring what's already there. and using minimal means to achieve maximum effect with an emphasis on sustainability and affordability. in a way, we quite never the senior opinion,

but at the end we, we agreed on everything. so it's, i think it's something like magical, like i told understand feature in our culture magazine arts 21 this coming saturday . meanwhile, british sculptor anthony gormley, has won nearly all the top awards in the course of his career. and yet his interrogation around the human body and how we occupy space continues with works in his favored materials, terra cotta iron and steel. a new exhibition in south western germany is an event to say the least. ah, one of antony normally is best known sculptures is also his largest angel if the north is 20 meters high. with a wingspan of a jumbo jet. compared to this giant angel mankind is anything but the measure of all things. a smaller angel has now landed in the show vex into thing and

a human sculpture fathom in itself and the space around it. it brings us to gormley, the main subject, the human body. my body and the body on our bodies are spaceships, they are best. they are our vehicle. they are the the carrier of all the adventures that we will make in space. time sculpture equal body equal space in this small but well curated retrospective company gormley uses scientific curiosity and an experimental approach to explore what a body can be. an apparently exploding forcefield a tense state of being pumped up with bated breath. or compressed and to stick thin as a jack committee. i make questions. can we look at the

body? not as a thing, but as a place, not as appearance, but an extraordinary system of transformation. can we look at the body? not as kind of the idea of beauty, but as a potential place potential. exploring those philosophical questions has aren't the 70 year old gormley many accolades, including the turner prize despite the 3 dimensionality of his work. he's not so keen on the term sculpture for decades. he's used his own body as a template, not out of narcissism, but as readily available material. his gormley clones have also made political statements. critical mass was one of his most violent installations, a battlefield of human bodies. critical mass was really

a meditation, if you like. on, on our species relation to cell. and the fact that genocide has been part of our species history from chaotic tire. the work can also be light and even playful. here, for instance, his peeled rubber boots like apples, human paths as a thin trail with worn out soles. it's almost data is stick. there's a button and zipper didn't any. gormley cut his own clothes into strips from underpants to show the result is a body surrounded by closing. yep, so open and uncovered. i want to say that our final skew, you know, we have a skew, we have a list, we have this skin,

we have the architecture skin. i want to say, let's think of the final skin, which is the perceptual skin. the horizon that surrounds us. these days just visiting a museum again, his horizon expanding, experiencing gormley work is even more so well, you can also expand consciousness and horizons by visiting our website, w dot com slash culture. and until we meet again, all the best from austin, berlin, and stay safe in the news. the news. news news.

ah, to the point. strong opinions, clear positions, international perspective. sunny days, bombing evenings, crowded football, stadium, plumbing and infection rates. thanks. we're looking pretty good this summer in europe until a new variant of coverage. here has health deathly is down to our topic on to the, the, to the point on d. w. we've got some hot tips for your bucket. lift the magic corner, check hot spots, and some great culture, the more to boot the w travel off we go. double used crime fighters,

to 77 percent. now, every weekend on the w, the me, the news business, the w news lies from the meeting of the you. leaders in brussels is overshadowed by disused over hungry new l, z b, c. you know, some 16 either have condemned death, but hunger is prime minister to open friends for legislation and says he will not repeat it. also on the show trials begin for several vocal critics of government roofs. we speak with a position leader, said,

lama taken up about her husband case. he's accused of fighting civil unrest for his role as an opposition figure to long time need alexander the casino, the ah, i'm guy that says welcome to the program. european union leaders have come together in brussels for a summit as tension flare over hung gary and law that several you countries say target members of the l g b t t. community in the country. 16 european leaders have signed a joint letter condemning the law, which bands content to promote homosexuality or trans thanks to children. you has announced legal action against hungry calling. the law of violation of fundamental rights and other contentious item on the agenda is a proposal by germany and france to hold

a summit with russian president vladimir putin in a bid to improve the blocks relations with most ongoing prime minister. the 20 one has been facing mounting pressure to repeal the controversial law seem to target the l g b t q. community. this by this taking questions from reporters head of the summit, he stops the defendant. it. i'm a free, the high touring the community supreme homosexuality was punished and i fought for their freedom in their rights. so i am defending the rights of the whole sexual guys, but the slow is not about that. it's about the right of the kids, and the parents feel to accept yourself being a well, my move difficult thing, sorts it myself, how to say to me, i've heard and to hear now that it is because maybe i watch something on tv when i was younger, is unacceptable and to mix pedophilia for now, dressy homosexuality is, is unacceptable. so we will have to discuss and to, to say, not again, we have to discuss in future we have to discuss now and to,

to say that it's unacceptable. it's it's, it's even so sad that we have to, to say that we are going to court. it's about co values of european union to be able to be different in union. one is, so let's not bring any w corresponding babel available in brussels. barbara, the us threatening to take legal action against hungry will this overshadow the summit. yeah, it does because it really sort of has dominated the debate till now and it will till tomorrow maybe. and during dinner we heard this will be openly discussed among european leaders. this step by the hungarian prime minister, who for years has been demolishing hungary democracy, step by step press, freedom, freedom of signs of freedom off and independence of the judiciary has it seems all of a sudden gone one step too far because for years that you has watched this and commented here and there, but not done much to stop it. and now it seems there is real anger among european

top politicians saying this is enough. you stop right here. so it would be interesting to know how this is what is said during this dinner, but the doors are close. nobody in there hungry, the prime minister has said she will not go back and he will not walk back on the law. it has to be seen, he has the made about turns in the past. maybe he will again. but germany and france and i want to resume direct souls with russia. and how is this likely to go down with the other members days at the summer? it doesn't go down very well at all. was many eastern european states. the lithuanian prime minister, for instance, is said did this is like trying to talk to the bear and ask him not to do honey any more, please. it's not going to be very fruitful. and so many countries who don't believe in any change of behavior on the side of the mill putin. he, they think that he is still increasing his aggressive stance versus europe and the

rest of the world. and so in gauging him in top level talks would just sort of validate his position and validate him as rushes lead a sort of prancing around on the world stage. that is something many european leaders do not want miracle end. and the french president and monro mac wrong, see, seeing things more from a practical practical perspective. they say, if we want something from him, we have to talk to him. and we have to sort of do it in a direct manner and try to engage him in those it's more or less like 2 against the rest of the european union. so there is no great appetite for that at all w slab of islam, brussels for us. thank you, barbara. some of the leaders agreed to impose wide ranging economic sanctions on mince for the 1st time, the measure, the target main export industries, prohibiting the import of products such as potash petroleum, tobacco from billers,

and also stopping access to finance. meanwhile, the trial has begun behind closed doors of leading bill erosion of position figures, c. i sick enough. he is one of 6 people facing charges included in fighting social hatred and organizing public disorders. you can ask, it was arrested last year. i'll see you made public his willingness to challenge alexander the consent in last year's presidential election. mister, going to ask his wife's wed donna took over his election campaign supporters. thank and she won the vote and not look his ankle. that led to month of protests in billers. little earlier i spoke with spell on artic and scott, who lives in exile in lithuania. we asked for her take on the trial against her husband. you know, i can't call it trail because it's fake trial, said judges in fake prosecutors. that's why they made this process called the trial

is going on. not in the court, but in the prison and no and look, no diploma. no relative snow must need to wear, allows into this cause for nobody could see how my husband and other political prisoners asked trunk a so called judge i can give to my husbands and the other people as many years as they want. 15272. it doesn't matter. what matters is to how release all political prisoners and not let them see it as much as they could see. just how to release. all. i also asked an article about the new use sanctions against better ruth. and whether she thinks the sanction will help her husband and of them for imprisoned opposition. figures in all their responsibility to fall for changes in the rose lights on bills themselves

. but in such a situation, when in such level repressions and builders, we have very small window of opportunity inside donors. but people use every inch of this to fight underground. but the fighting and the european union. we are really grateful to european union and they use stay in the democrats countries that they protect in the tribe who build a new democratic builders. and in the since august we've tried many ways how to deploy medical appeal to the regime by but we went and sanctions is maybe the most powerful leverage to put pressure on their resume to make them understand that democratic countries are with us and they will fight to alongside with the sense for rule flow against violence and sanction

of course can have impact the decisions that made in the regime. and we want dialer who wants to go should be the region about future elections. but these old school prisoners have to be released and i think functions can help. but it was an opposition leader salon article speaking to us earlier. and he has said, look at some other news stories in brief. and he's one person is reported dead and several more injured after part of a 12 story apartment building collapse in the middle of the night near miami. in the us state of florida rescue teams. many more people may be trapped under the rubble. it's not clear what caused the accident. more than 700 unmarked graves have been found in the canadian town of mario evolves the actual, near a former catholic boarding boarding school. its the latest and a string of shocking discoveries at disused schools for indigenous children across the country. they have revive coals on the catholic church to apologize for the

history of abuse of 1st nations, children in canada to t o. p. and now health workers say at least 50 people were killed in the northern take, right region. witnesses say an ass, dr. targeted a busy market. in the town of took olga that also reports that medical teams were prevented from traveling to the scene. fighting has intensified since november when the government launched and offensive on rebel forces in that region. the wounded were still arriving in the regional capital makella for treatment a day after being caught up in the market to talk about 25 kilometers away. witnesses say that the soldiers stopped ambulances reaching the scene, denying many victims, quick medical assistance. it's an accusation, d t o p military denies another way to injure him, but they didn't get any service because of the

location of the road. i mean, if any options in the country, this patient has been sustained, an injury to them and just signed to us by says she was selling vegetables after st tool, when a bomb landed seriously wounding her 2 year old daughter. the toddler was one of the 1st victims to arrive in mccann, a where she underwent surgery for her injury. the u. n. says a t p. disturbed by reports the army held the ambulances, which could be a serious violation of international law. it says this has requested access to the area to assess the situation. once again, we want to see and to how still it is in the region. we want to see greater access to for humanitarian workers. and frankly, from what we've seen here,

things are not going in the right direction, say the least rebels integral. i launched the new offence of last week to c t o p are prepared to hold national regional elections. there was no voting in the war torn region where the p o p in military has been battling rebel forces since november. humanitarian agencies worn that to grind is now on the brink of famine. the civilian suffering has damage. the image of ethiopian point minister abbey asked med who won the nobel peace prize in 2019. he's expected to be returned to power despite growing international concern about the situation and try the 2020 some lengthy game start next month. and so the thing is more handful of sports, making its debut and tokyo, leon glasser, will be representing germany, the talented, 24 year old, is hoping to catch some big waves and snatch the 1st ever gold metal in the event

a lot of time with my coach with my coaches class. so is happy that sort of thing is finally recognized as a big sports rather than just a lifestyle. and that the german seem now has the support. it needs to compete internationally. i was always alone in all the competitions all over the world. but now we have a lot of support from the german olympic committee and support groups. we have a large tea team that surfing a tokyo 2020 will take place on the japanese east coast, where the challenge will change as each wave comes. but that's new york lots are just fine. you will be in the olympics be long in the ocean. proper wave writing and surfing this here is rapid surf, which i don't do that often. only a couple of days a year. but the railway is in the ocean of the 1st and only german to the present. his country in the event would be competing as one of the 20 best surfers for the
