yes, this is where we as a nation, i love sick in russia, in 45 minutes on dw, with secrets lie behind these walls, discover new adventures in 360 degrees. and explore fascinating world heritage site. d w world heritage 360. get the app now. ah, it other news aisha coming up to date different that makes impact on mental health headlines in india. i have seen a rise of distressed callers seeking a way out. we look at how a loss, grief, and financial hardship are taking and the emotional toll and life on the beach wide green sea turtles are returning in huge numbers to nest in pakistan.

ah, i british manager, welcome to the dublin news asia. glad you could join us. india as covert pandemic hides another silent pandemic suicide. recently released figure show a 10 percent increase in suicides last year. up. experts assume that the economic and postal 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 intervention center to make the operates a headline for the depressed and to over the years,

the center has helped countless people by providing them emotional support at a time when they felt they had no option left but to take their lives to deep. 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 wouldn't agree or disagree, the libya going to indian life, re she of their feelings? we don't trivia situation, but we share their feelings. my not as, as the core with 19 pandemic has had a huge impact on people's mental health. and that the number of distress caused the receive has almost doubled since the beginning of the crisis. in his experience, emotional and financial troubles are the 2 biggest reasons behind suicidal ports 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 of 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 led to any konami and humanitarian prices. small businessman and vendors had to shock shop, and many workers lost their employment. triggering a mass exodus of migrant laborers back to their towns and villages. economists and bush mer audra said the suicides have increased 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 of the diss and doug goody faker.

liam gone, cruel. it is going to meet him back did 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 grandview. 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 hold on and join me now for morris public health policy researcher and mentor of 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 you know, as you're in a mental health is huge, be under so daily and not just in india, but many other parts of the world as well. and the reason for that is that it is

usually not recognized but absent the same as physical health. so there are a lot of people, but absolutely inside the depression of a serious mental this orders 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 candidly and then you've got to get to a specialist if the plan. so that becomes an issue and you don't have adequately trained resources. right now we have a shortage of psychologist campus that is clearly not enough mentally, professional sort of country of india side on. so 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. 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. yeah, one hopes that there's been a clear understanding based on the experience of the last, almost 2 years of dealing with the pandemic. that mental health needs to be a center staged in our responses and in our health system. and does that mean that we need more resources? we need more funding, we need more clean professionals, and we need more recognition of mental health as being an important component of a larger health response. we also have to recognize that mental locally made stigmatized. you know, people who are not as comfortable, for example, off talking about their own struggles with mental health as they might, you know, if they were diabetic or hypertensive or 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 out for help badly enough. i did want to talk to you about the stigma and i'm glad in aware that you've brought this up. i mean, in india, particularly in the society that we have in, 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 signs and 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 not aware of what to look out for 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 and comfortable and reaching out early enough. so i think that require us to work make, make sure that we do stigmatize 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 their support to higher level of 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 scholars? i think perhaps never healing for some families, but i 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 radians, et cetera. so that is an ongoing you know, set up stressors which can take mental health issues. certain people, of course,

and families support a lot, especially during the 2nd we have, they have a lot of losses, perhaps not closer. so those will have the remainder in and normally they progressions, but hopefully that will not be permanent. you know, i think it's important and better 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 or so we sidle thoughts, you should not hesitate to seek professional help, no matter where you lead, 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 barrier 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 melissa and singapore 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 park is done locked 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 wild life. other now the coven lockdown has ended. the turtle still got an ample lea opportunity during this period. we've had a large number of turtles coming here and give them most turtles come online at night to lay their eggs before dragons themselves back to the ocean. conservationists will then quickly take 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 goose out of my heart. o allah,

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 life revealed for setting up

a life patching 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 from the region on our website, did other dot com, forward slash asia. and as ever, you can also follow us on twitter and facebook. read to you at the same time for to morrow, or by to 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, off day, the coven, 19 special. next on d. w. how many pushes have lunch us heard out in the world right now the

climate change very hot. the story. this is life less the way from just one week. how much work can really get we still have time to go. i'm doing all in the 4th 5th. subscribe or more than just like oh, the pandemic has been hard on all of us different ways. but some experts say it's children who've suffered most an important phase in their lives when 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 cope with the future? will it teach them resilience or weaken their development? welcome to your coven 19 special. i'm chelsea delaney, in berlin. in many countries, children are now able to receive coven 19 vaccinations. health experts said that's a crucial steps for 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 you. yeah. 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 building a union knows why she is come by allied

in fact, loud. well, because it chases away corona and i think it's just good beulah vine, please. 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 virus in north nissan. i'm 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, felicia 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 may get 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 does the house of 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, far more unless i'm joined by york dutch from the german society of pediatrics and

adolescent medicine. so york, after being in a 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 asked, 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 enquiries doing better than they did the beginning of the year. 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 are, 1st of all, lessons. they are very keen on getting in touch with adolescents in

the age group. where is younger kids? they have more contact to family environment. certainly 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 why fi, they don't exist, 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 metal age, but it's also a metal off excess to technique. you mentioned that there,

but there has obviously been a lot of concern about the impact mrs. 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, to a depend demik on the one hand, they should have been keeping on the eating be off their church and they are getting more obese. not 18 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 live to, to take care that children really still are in touch with their 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 has 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 most of the cost of covert $19.00 infections. and for those children, it's extreme. the good news, as well as for children that have that have relatives, that families, 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 that explanation whether they should vaccine aid or not to, to me. thanks. and i did or not, because they are not yet sure about the side effects. and we don't want to, we don't want to stick me type 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 troll decision. and at the end of the day, it's most important not to stick with parents that don't don't mix and 8 and need

the parents that the fight for that information that is your dutch 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 sars 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, an 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 brought considerately, 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 u. s. so far, for instance, more common effects are sometimes, 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. 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 infection, 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

and why are they a threat to whistle? open equals starts january 5th on d, w ah ah, this is data we knew as life from berlin, preparing for the worst with the rapid spread of the on the cross variance across europe. germany becomes the latest country to tighten corona virus restrictions. chancellor olive shots doubles down on vaccines and urges caution, and i'll sing new measures that will come into effect over the new year, holidays and fighting off famine m and un food agency sounds. the alarm of one of

gatherings. limits on social contacts will come into effect, but not until after christmas. the festive preparations might be continuing across germany. but the country's top public health body has won people not to let christmas be the spark, the lights, the army on fire. there are no official restrictions on festus celebrations, but small gatherings are being encouraged and wished hicks, the most important thing apart from vaccinations is reducing contacts but less people come together, the smaller we keep our social contacts less, the virus will spread everybody's behavior is crucial in this instance and try on tuesday german chancellor. oh la sholtes said the limits on the number of people who can meet will come into force from december 28th lodge. public events will also

be banned, including prohibiting funds at football matches. the new german health minister also said it's likely that a 4th vaccine dogs will eventually be needed and nothing should be ruled out in the fight against cove. it one does gordon with him. i believe that with the measures we agreed on, we can master the pandemic in the coming weeks. but we do not want to categorically exclude anything. we will consider everything if necessary. currently, that is not the case yet says the pony stevie ah, while protests against mandatory vaccines and cove, it measures continue. many germans support the new restrictions. as a sir, i'll be honest. the numbers are actually going down again a little bit. but i have to say in order to finally end the whole thing, it's actually quite good that we haven't the locked down so that everything just comes to an end so that we can maybe celebrate again. afterwards. vaccinations will

continue during the festive season. as people hope this is a 2nd and last cove. at christmas. i'd like to welcome and now we're paula. p shorter. she is a member of parliament for the green party and a radiologist herself. thank you for your time. germany appears to be ahead of the arm across very, especially a compared to countries like denmark. for now at least, why is the government putting off measures for another week? we are naturally putting them off. i mean, our, what we've agreed on now is one of the most potent long pharmaceutical measures against co it and meaning contact restrictions to 10 people. and the holidays themselves. they are kind of a natural covert breaker because schools are closed, universities are closed. a lot of businesses are closed, so we are thinking that for now, this is quite an adequate response. that it is important to say the co would as

always, nothing is off the table and we're going to evaluate the situation constantly. do you fear that this might send or, or send a wrong mess signal this delay, i mean lulling people into a false sense of security over the gravity of armor chron. i think if you, if you see all the communication at a stand right? no, i think that no one can say that we are not alarmed and that we are not communicating that the situation with on the, on the quad to be. and i think also looking at those people from berlin you just showed one minute ago. i think most people, the majority of people, the majority of gems have understood that all can is quite an important threat that we have to deal with from now. and can you give us the lay of the land? how confident are you that critical infrastructure in this country can continue to function? if in the unfortunate event, many people get ill some simultaneously?

i think they are quite some critical things. we have to keep them keep in mind and have to keep an eye on that. if a bolstering the functionality of those structures, for example, making sure that the staff is adequately staffed, etc. but it's also important. we can reduce the spread of on the can, even if not perfectly, we can reduce it by boost doing as many people as possible. and that's why we are pushing so hard for the vaccination campaign, especially for boosters. and we want to achieve 80 percent of the nation raid by january. and that's when you go to the german ethics council. we understand is now backing, extending the vaccine mandate beyond health and care workers to all adults. is that the way forward? i think when you compare the different measures that could be taken now against the

4th and 5th possible covert wave, i think it would be the mildest solution to have a general explanation. men die because it is just not sustainable for society to have to refuse to have their contact restrictions because the restrictions over and over again for more than 2 you. however, if we lucky enough and i going to have very potent medical opportunities like back living in the future, they might be able to give us the opportunity to not have to think about facts and mandates. but i think that is still unclear. nothing right now. the mildest opportunity for getting control over it is a vixen mandate. in jim o r p shot a member of parliament for the green party and also a radiologist. thank you very much for your time. thanks for heavy

here's around up. now, some of the other developments in the pandemic, britain has reported more than 100000 new infections for the 1st time. the country is one of the worst effected in europe by the arm across very, and it's government urging adults to get a booster shot immediately. meanwhile, south african patients diagnosed with the alma cron variance were 80 percent less likely to be hospitalized than those who contract it. another variant this fall. the others of the study say high rates of previous infection could be partially responsible for the lower hospitalization rate. and us regulators have authorize the 1st pill to treat covert 19. pfizer is packs with it. the food and drug administration has approved its used for people 12 and above proved tested positive and are at risk of hospitalization. want to tell you now about the other stories that are making headlines around the world. ukrainian military forces have tested us anti tank javelin missiles in the countries east that says military tensions
