ah w travel off we go. green. do you feel worried about the planet? we to i'm neil, post of the on the grievance on coast and to me, it's clear. we need to change the solutions or out there. join me for a deep dive into the green transformation for me to do with a $50.00 news aisha coming up to date, different makes impact on mental health headlines in india. i have seen a rise in distress callers seeking a way out. we look at how and loss, grief and financial hardship taking and emotional toll and life on the

beach wide green sea turtles are returning in huge numbers to nest. impact is thought ah, i'm british manager, welcome to the other news asia. glad you could join us. in diaz covert, pandemic hides another silent pandemic suicide. recently released figure show a 10 percent increase in suicide last year. up. experts assume that the economic impersonal stress is brought on by the pandemic, affected all sections of society, including business persons and women. but as we see in this report, a suicide doesn't have to be the on. so there is help available. 25 years ago. jim, a new truck cool founded a center for a problem really addressed in indian society. a crisis dimension center. symmetric

operates a health line for the depressed and society. over the years, the center has helped countless people by providing them emotional support. at a time when they felt we had no option left, but to take their lives to day. well, we'll try taking calls in the center alone. do people talk to us and we listen to them in a non governmental manner, redondo, i will agree or disagree. the we're going to end in life re she of their feelings. we don't trivia situation, but we share their feelings. my lot us as the court 19 pandemic has had a huge impact on people's mental health. and that the number of distress cause they receive has almost doubled since the beginning of the crisis. in his experience, emotional and financial troubles are the 2 biggest reasons behind suicidal thoughts of the corners. according to the n, c i b, or the national crime records bureau data, there has been a sharp rise in the number of debts by suicide in the country in the year 2020.

while daily wage laborers made up the largest share of the total number of suicide, there's been a significant jump in the debt by suicide among the business people as well. last year's love down to club the spread of forward lead to any konami and humanitarian prices. small businessman and renders, had to shock shop, and many workers lost their employment. triggering a mass exodus of migrant laborers back to their towns and villages. economists santos mer, audra said the suicides having priest, mostly among those who are the poorest, who lost their jobs and savings during the pandemic. that is entirely due to economic distress, which has caused mental stress, family dentures. and my suspicion is that you're going to see a repeat of this data in in 2021. my daughter says unemployment has only increased, which will lead to a worsening of poverty. with no end to the pandemic in site, my thoughts are also believes that it will take time for the situation to improve.

people have gone to a lot of things like that. loss of job loss, so the dis and doug goody faker. liam gone, prove it is going to be impacted on jeremiah forest late the longer day because we're not coming and daily out of it. but no matter how emotionally drained the feel, my hotel believes everybody deep down has the desire to live and feel. that's why they reach out to the crisis center. and he and his fellow warranty ers are here to help you want to take some time. i can order and armina for morris public health policy researcher and mentor at the mental health in a non profit sunroof. on and on a month, how readily is help available for people in india who have suicidal thoughts or are undergoing depression. thank you for having me. so nice. mental health is huge, be under. so be area, not just in india,

but many other parts of the world as well. and the reason for that is that it is usually narcotic nice, but at the same as physical health. so there are a lot of people, but apps and things like the depression of a c t s mental disorders were not diagnosed early enough, not to be nearly enough. and that becomes an issue because it's very important in mental health. and especially for those who might be having to psycho talk for them to be able to be identified for them to get can't early and then they get to specialist if the plan. so that becomes an issue and you don't have adequately trained resources. right now we have a shortage of psychologists like after that is clearly not enough mentally, professional sort of country of india side, making sure that we have no way to model such as setting where you train franklin heads workers so that they can provide plus level care and paper those patients will need for the specialist care to psychiatric psych on just and that is

a mechanism which is still in the book. there's been some progress, but a lot of needing to be done. do you think the impact that the corporate ben demick has taken on people's mental health in india, especially, that is going to give a phillip to this process to try and train the people that need to be trained so that frontline mental health care can be provided to people who need it, you're run hopes that there's been a clear understanding based on the experience of the last, almost 2 years of dealing with the band to make that many hope needs to be center staged in our responses and in our health system. and that will mean that we need more resources, we need more funding, we need more trained professionals, and we need more recognition of mental as being an important component for larger health distress. we also recognize that mental stigmatized, you know, people are not as comfortable for example, of talking about their own struggles with mental health as they might if they were

diabetic high but in, on with any other chronic disease. so i think we also need to be stigmatized the field so that more and more people who feel comfortable reaching are for help. early enough, i did want to talk to you about the stigma and i'm glad in aware that you brought this up. i mean, in india, particularly in the society that we have in india, do you think people even realize what signs to watch out for? do people even realize that they are depressed or is it just dismissed as a temporary problem that they need to deal with? yeah, i don't think there is enough recognition of same symptoms of someone dealing with a mental issue. it is usually apps dismissed as he was actually saying. this is also because most franklin health professionals also are not aware of what to look out for in the night. in defining someone who's come to them as perhaps having a mental element on needing help. so if we make sure that more people recognize

that both on the provider side as well as there is a larger acceptance of mental health as being an important component of ones will be and people should feel free uncomfortable and beating out early enough. so i think that require us to work make, make sure that we be stigmatized mental health and also ensure that more and more providers can identify individuals early enough screen for depression, anxiety provide support, and then for those who need for the support to higher level professions, and you've been looking at the issue of mental health in india during the panoramic and we were talking about it in the summer as well during the height of india. second wave. would you say that the pandemic has left mental health scars? i think perhaps never hear for some families they certainly cause a lot of trauma. i mean there's a lot of believe that is but apps a lot of things id even now because you know, they're concerned about the future. we have new mediums, etc. so that is an ongoing set up stressors which can take

mental health issues. certain people of course, and families support a lot, especially during the 2nd may have. they had a lot of losses, perhaps not closer. so those will have, you know, reminders and normal actions. but hopefully that will not be permanent. you know, i think it's important and imperative for us to reach out to these families and provide care to them. and hopefully that can provide them support as is most needed at this point of time. and i will leave it there for the timing, but thank you so much for joining us today. and if you're suffering from say, this emotional strain also we sidle thoughts. you should not hesitate to seek professional help. no matter where you leave, you can find information at the friend as worldwide at the web address on your screen right now. and in addition to the mental health impact of the band, i make a new very and has brought with it fresh challenges. here we take

a quick look at the latest reactions in asia to the spread of the omi crohn very and meliss and thing a bowl have temporarily suspended ticket tailed for their travel lane scheme. under the program, both countries allowed florentine free entry for fully vaccinated travelers in another blow to its better tourism industry. thailand has re imposed a mandatory quarantine for visitors and japan has found its 1st suspected case of community transmitted, omicron, ah, the government in pandemic continues into its secondary, many of us are facing new restrictions. it's hard to feel positive about any of that. but there are some positives to be found at this time, like on the beaches of karachi in southern barcas on lock down. the movement restrictions brought on by the pandemic have given the endangered green turtle the peace and com if needed, to lay its eggs in the breeding season. a pregnancy turtle

returning to her birth place. and it didn't take her long to find a perfect spot to lay eggs. as the pandemic stroke, thousands of green turtles like her have been able to reclaim to one's polluted beaches. in karachi, what has been human beings? nightmare turns out to be a blessing for wildlife java. now the cupid lockdown has ended. the turtle still got an ample laying opportunity during this period. we've had a large number of turtles coming here on the other gothic and give them most turtles come on land at night to lay their eggs before dragons themselves back to the ocean. conservationists will then quickly dig out the eggs some times more than a 100 at once to keep them away from predators. was that busy? and then i take the eggs out of the ditch and bury them in the hatchery. or at that

time, a prayer goes out of my heart. oh alar, let all these eggs hatch in 40 to 45 days, all of them. so i can release them in the water valley than me. some edge organic liver, but ma'am finally, mitchell. and some of the baby turtles are ready. the n g o is giving them so much care as years of human activities such as pollution and bi, catch, have destroyed to reptiles, habitats. coven 19 has given the endangered species a little relief. the conservationists are glad to see them thrive again. whenever from an vacancy that in their eagerness to reach the vast ocean out there, these tiny little feet are moving forward, impatient to touch the vast waters ahead of them. just look at the tiny footsteps and their happiness at seeing the see. here you can see how life moves on that of i

for life. hatching out in unison, baby turtles find their way to the ocean by the reflections of light on the water. and once they succeed, though, hide and grow for years until the day comes where some of them return as mothers to be and that's it for today. there's more than the region on our website. we did have the dot com forward slash asia, and as ever, you can also follow us on twitter and facebook. we'd see you at the same time for to morrow, or by the fight against the corona virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection been developing? what does the latest research say? information and context. the corona virus update the coded 19 special.

next on d, w. a . i s b a c t, a r. o. with love and respect, ah, ah. the pandemic has been hard on all of us in different ways, but some experts say it's children who suffered most an important phase in their lives. and they learned how to interact socially has been interrupted. and parts of

the world, kids have spent months doing lessons in front of a computer. in developing countries. many children have missed months of school altogether. how will the generation of children who grew up in the pandemic hope at the future? will it teach them resilience or weak in their development? welcome to your covert 19 special. i'm chelsea delaney, in berlin. in many countries, children are now able to receive corporate 19 vaccinations. health experts said that's a crucial step to protecting children and their families, as well as keeping schools open. here in germany, children ages 5 to 11 have been eligible for jobs for just over a week. we had a look at how things are going here in berlin. i was with julia was lucky. the 9 year old girl was one of the 1st children under 12 to get a cove at 19 job. here at a vaccination center in berlin. i eula

knows why she has come out and fact loudly well, because it chases away corona and i think it's just good for you. yeah, mindfully, julia was a premature baby born 3 months early and very, very often here were in the hospital with pneumonia. oh, she had to be on a ventilator, and we don't want to experience that again. we have no meta which myron often if not, i am a liam. a guy mcveigh can be auth, just like julia all children from the age of 5 and now able to get vaccinated in germany and vaccination lines set up, especially for children. they receive a lower dose than the regular one of the many parents have been waiting for this stamp given the high cove at 19 cases, among 5 to 11 year olds across germany. we

hadn't, we have the highest rate in this age group and berlin. it's between 70800 and other german states. it's much higher and that is a great risk of infection taken and the cause of the disease among children is not always mild. hello for life and especially occasions have been found to make getting the jap more attractive for kids. here in berlin's nature museum, children get a free ticket to see the dinosaurs after being vaccinated. by including younger kids, politicians hope to finally get out of the pandemic. he, maggie, in the more vaccinated people we have in germany, the better we will be able to fight the cove at 19 pandemic that applies to all generations and vaccinated children also offer protection for their family at home . it done so how's a beaten julia and her parents chose the jam because it makes them feel safer. the government hopes that many other families will now follow suit.

now for more on this, i'm joined by your dutch from the german society of pediatrics and adolescent medicine. so york, after being in this pandemic for almost 2 years, how are our kids coping well actually, at the very moment, they are doing a little better because the school has been, has been, has not been on and off as it used to be at the beginning of the year, but there was a certain degree of persistence of interrupted possibility to meet other children and to his teachings. perience. so we actually know from the inquiry that they're doing better than they did the beginning of the so there is some stability now. but how has the pandemic hit different age groups differently throughout these past 2 years? well, there are certain things that have to be put into consideration of 1st of all,

lessons. they are very keen on getting in touch with some lessons in the age group. where is younger kids, they have more contact to family environment certainly. and they can more easily be stabilized by, by the families but by the parents. so it's actually in particular the lessons that we are concerned about. and another, the big concern is those family that hadn't got all the means of supporting their church. that, for instance, don't have access to, to, to, to, to why fi, they don't have access to, to laptops and everything you need for well, for getting in touch apart from, from meeting each other. so. so it's not only

a matter of age, but it's also a matter of access to technique and you mentioned it there, but there has obviously been a lot of concern about the impact this is having on children's mental health. what should parents or adults be looking out for in their kids? while there are certain things that we have learned so far too, of the panoramic. on the one hand, they should have been keeping an eye on the eating be off their church and they are getting more obese. not eating too much and they moving to little or is the opposite. then on the other side, they have to take care of their children, not getting depressed, not not being said throughout the day or not losing their degree of activity. and finally, they have status of near to,

to take care that children really still are in touch with environment that they ask questions that they stimulate. they approve that they even criticize their parents as long as they do this. this is time when they, when they stop talking and when they stop getting in touch with the environment, one have to worry about that. so we're at a point now where children are eligible for vaccines in some countries. do you see that as a game changer? i've possibly not a game changer, but it's extremely good news, especially for the goal that we saw in the in the movie that you just head you who have risk factors for more sci fi cost of covert $19.00 infection. and for those chokes, and it's extreme, the good news, as well as for children that have that have relatives in that family,

that previous potent, for, for most of your cost bases, then again and other children. parents may be quite convinced that explanation is the right thing. to do, and we, we absolutely stimulate those parents to have children next united. but at the same time, we don't argue with parents. i'm not sure about the actual state of the explanation whether they should vaccine it or not. i have to extend it or not, because they are not yet sure about the side effects. and we don't want to, we don't want to stigmatize these parents either. so it's up to the parents. the parents should try to keep as well informed as possible by what they can read, but also talk to the pediatrician today, assembly doctors to get more information and to try decision. and at the end of the

day, it's most important not to stigmatize appearance that don't don't mix and 8, and need the terms that the fight for the information. that is you're in touch from the german society of pediatrics and adolescent medicine. thank you so much. thank you very much for the interview. now it's time for you to ask and for us to answer. here's a viewer question for our science correspondent derek williams. oh, can you tell us more about the effects of lung cove? it in kids? 0, $1.00 of the few upsides if you will, of source covey to is that at least during the act of infection, children are largely spared serious outcomes like hospitalization and death. but that doesn't mean that some of them won't eventually pay a price,

estimates for what percentage of children suffer symptoms associated with long covered in the weeks and the months following an infection. they're kind of all over the place, but most researchers in the field seem to agree now that it's significant, although recent data indicates, thankfully, it might not be as common as we once thought. some early research postulated that post coven symptoms might have fact up to half of all the kids who got that estimate has dropped considerably with a larger recent study. roughly finding more like one and 7 kids are still reporting symptoms. on over 3 months after a covert infection, just like in adults, those long coded symptoms have also been very wide ranging. and kids of the most

serious reported a fact is called multi system inflammatory syndrome in children or m, i. s c o which can lead to oregon failure. it's fortunately, pretty rare. there have only been around 5 and a half 1000 cases of it reported in the us so far. for instance, more common effects are some times but not always similar to those reported by adults like fatigue or labored breathing or head aids or changes to the sense of smell and taste. m. neurological symptoms like brain, fog, or, or difficulties concentrating, are also widely reported. some studies show that vaccines appear to help cut the risk in an adult of developing long covered if they experience a break transaction, maybe by as much as half,

but there isn't enough data yet on whether they also reduce the risk of it. in younger kids, we just haven't been vaccinating them long enough to know. and finally, pakistan's lockdown may have been tough on humans, but it's been a great opportunity for sea turtles to breed. they used to lock down to return to their birth places and huge numbers reclaiming the once polluted but now serene karachi peaches to lay their eggs. their numbers jumped from around 8002019215000 last year. thanks for watching. ah. with
