The air quality in delhi one of the most polluted cities in the world this is believed to do the rates during the winter as the called wins make it harder for pollutants to disperse. Baking and making industrial activity and the public body carried out by palm of the neighboring hed need to if they can fight in pollution levels in delhi every winter feed. This year theres an additional challenge. That doesnt leave that upon the knowledge it says that the did in temperature and rise and pollution levels maybe lead to an increase in the spread of corona virus infections many Health Experts are echoing this concern to board up during cold weather when pollution levels rise i guess the respiratory tract becomes drug which can make people more prone to corporate parent being. Ill this is often the protective Mechanisms Group we call. Dr that there is also concerned that Health Care Facilities may be all of that and my drives in calling 900 cases in addition to the usual spike in influenza and other respiratory disorders student ministers. When medical Health Professionals brace themselves for the coming months the Delhi Government has started taking measures to curb air pollution one of them is the red light on engine off camping westerville while tears stationed at various Traffic Signals across the city are urging commuters to don the engines off while the beat for the green light. While the government claims that is for you with the campaign can reduce very closely you should in the capital by 15 to 20 per cent not everyone is going with. Jordi bundle of a girlie a daily beast environmental activist argues that focusing on just one source of pollution is not enough i think the government needs to create a centralized body which is empowered which has timelines and measurable goals and create a proactive policy which will address every Single Source of pollution and then enforce all those very strictly and seriously. As daily gasped for breath again the few are offered to in demick of worsening air quality and corona virus infections is growing. Joining us as the new media right charge of the center for science and environment and media india appears to have flattened the curve in the last few weeks but what is the latest on the pandemic. Dont go big leap that change in your quality was just dramatic and how quickly the level spent about 20 to 70 percent and all that and not only that good day people feet off aleutian just flattened and into the sky in your lungs is what we all said is great but what is also good trysting the wild beast when there are dramatic changes obviously because of the whole human equation prices and that everything gets shut down but im all into this started knocking it 1st began quite soon began but how never once again began to hate trees and began very substantially during the other luxuries for the levels increase by almost like times thats just shows that the woman who started to york when they going to me and he started to get back to normal life that pollution was back and not today and at this moment when be honest we do season what is absolutely scary is that the very shabby trees in the pollution levels and the window which you already know in delhi is supposed to be very high pollution are still dying that we are almost yearly that stage now so then therefore what we are going to see today that at least lead do not let the crisis will reach that what we learnt from that and it made the long dont phase the cleanup that happened less join lessons part from that to design a longer term action and to see what is the scale and speed of action that is needed today so that we can actually to sustain the change in play there so thats very hard to do what you talk about the long term need for changes but im interested in the short term this is obviously something that cant be fixed in one winter season but what are some of the short term fixes that the city can do for the time being. Students understand the job that they did it the reason why were still going to have bad dream job is simply because special something good has happened in the city but there is also a lot of gap in action but if youre looking at the shock to the nation spend daily already has likely gone then great interest was actually planned for in the chancellors claims many levels who are very high right now in delhi belly and diary to season they have on some of the measures have already kicked in so they dont have stopped completely the diesel generators sets and at a really strong enforcement strategy has been deducted but if we did have a bad resort then the next level of action beauty quiet shutting down construction stopping trucks shutting the industry running on dirty fuels the stopping the brick kilns now that is the range of action but then how do you basis that to be taken so that when you have the salt in that it doesnt go up even further. And so that begs the question what are the long term fixes just a few of them. So you do understand the long to me back also understand what the long term actions that have already happened in getting this set to the changes so daley is the only city in this country that has shared goals all his close power plants the dirty fuels that included cooling and abandoned did he did it introduce the euro 6 emission standards band or in 20 goes it has increased use of natural gas in public transport and in the industrial so that is the scale of action that has already happened and because of that we have seen about a quarter of a person draw into all the local level but great for all that we still have to do solution by yet another 60 percent its not that big kid being gap 70 still have to address right is the transportation massive scale about the gospel Strategy Management o. Grace about if you dont burn risk and interaction of clean fuel and acknowledge in the industry sector to be had to keep 3 big 8 years we have to still have to do a lot of got it going to solve it and a meteorite chadri thank you thank you so much.

Bar and Restaurant Owners artists and Entertainment Industry staff took to the streets of berlin on wednesday thats widespread concern about the new coronavirus measures that will close businesses for several more weeks one of the speakers was the singer of punk rock band knowles and. If you are really talking about more than 1000000 jobs and livelihoods since march people have had to live as if they were banned from working people operate without any profit because of the restrictions how does it feel to be banned from working virtually overnight since march and not a cent has fallen into your wallet since then warm words are of little help here. In the boardroom. Most of those who attended the demonstration have been directly affected by coronavirus restrictions. Came from disorder she usually unsound money as a singer but shes been forced to take a Part Time Job at a butchers to tide her over one demand of the demonstrators is that all those affected should receive adequate compensation to cover fixed costs or you know it maybe would have to establish what our Monthly Expenses are and then see what the minimum is that we need to earn and that has to be paid out we need to get compensation its not that were unemployed were not allowed to work. Hospitality and entertainment brunches feel that theyve borne the brunt of the coronavirus measures. With no end in sight patience is running out. And theres her director Thomas Alston from berlin saldana theatre joins me now hes just fresh out of rehearsals but also my are this is a major blow to artistic and cultural life here in berlin just as it was getting back on its feet tell me how are your plans and projects affected i believe you had an opening coming up and how are you feeling about this.

So do you do you actually recognize the need for these new measures and do you feel perhaps that theyre justified to tell and with in respect to 2 theaters. Well i dont believe it justifies the because if you look at whats happening in atlanta and look whats happening in trains if you look at work sapping in other parts of our social life i sometimes get the feeling their politicians are trying to prove that there are serious was a measurements by a knocking cultural. Institutions in order to prove that the suv year we did everything. To make sure that there is no danger of infection our team on stage is tested twice a week with people in the audience do wear masks we have a generic concept and tearing cancer and as far as i know all there wasnt any spread event in any. Show in any audience so. Critical this is measuring ok now we also saw in the report there this criticism of the Government Regarding the support that the cultural sector is actually receiving do you share these criticisms and perhaps have concrete demands of your own. Of course i share this because independent our lists who are not on the permanent contracts. Are in high danger or are not so i having this crisis as an artist and i think theres an urgent need to make sure that all these arliss can survive the crisis socially and that the government has to make sure after they made sure of that for example of time well survive they need to make sure that all the artists get all the artists in germany which me. Missoni searcher but obviously obviously a great imbalance their welfare survive this crisis just quickly.

Well internationally speaking many people will have heard of leipzig or dresden 2 of the calling cards of the eastern german state of saxony which is why the euphoria was grates in cabinets on wednesday with the announcement of its European Capital of culture status for the year 2025 all the city known for nearly 40 years as calm marks starts under the east german communists and infamous for its recent anti immigrant sentiment hopes to give its tarnished image a new shine. Its one of the best known landmarks in cannes thats the comics monument erected in 1971 and esto own man was on the citys Bidding Committee for the European Capital of culture title to him the site evokes mixed feelings. On the one hand this is a place where he saw a lot of really great concerts and events. Where the mood was really positive and happy. But its also a place that the world got to see in a way that i personally had never experienced before. Hes referring to the events of august 28th far right demonstrations raged for several days after a 35 year old local man was killed in a fight with 2 Asylum Seekers riots in counterdemonstrations followed and those images went around the world one man hopes that its capital of culture status will now improve the citys reputation. There a high rises next to the historical city hall examples of classic east german modernism wide streets its cookie just not necessarily love at 1st sight you can its made its contradictions and rough edges the cornerstone of its bid its an Industrial City with a rugged unfinished charm it may not have architecture but its gritty and it is home to some striking up projects like this sculpture in the citys main part that depicts comics his bowels debate in committee obviously took the right. Approach it that way hope to welcome people from across to your families not just to see fantastic exhibitions and cultural programs but also to actually take part hives of us meet some of involving the public was a key element in the application stage the idea was to get locals to appreciate the city. As it is for when i was still at school with talk about where we were going to go when we left but with the capital of culture status people will see the city through new lives and hopefully be more likely to stay and maybe others will move here. Its in the title is an opportunity for the city to put its best foot forward and get a welcome a comeback. Rose to fame in the late 1980 s. Which was a decade of conspicuous consumption his groundbreaking work was hailed as being akin to art but in an era of fashion superstars like for instance he stood out for his anonymity and selfeffacement well he shuns the spotlight and usually refuses all interviews but one german filmmaker has managed to let him tell his own story. Models with obscured faces other guard silhouettes and unconventional materials ripped and shredded garments runway shows reminiscent of surrealist paintings imagine my jailer as one of the most influential designers of the last 30 years hes also an enigma never appearing in public the banksy of fashion if you like. But now german documentary filmmaker heights a has made a film that offers an intriguing insight into this lucid creative genius. Peter ford and we should be fathers a lot of people ask me what was it like filming with m. V. To keep his face covered all the time did he hide from you whos but it wasnt like about hes not paranoid he lives of relatively normal life he just doesnt want his own image to matter more than his work on the cross he views to give you up. By a. Margin that doesnt in fact show his face and hide so much film hes always preferred to let his work to the talking. I dont like the idea of being a celebrity. Which is. Like everybody else a conceptual artist as much as a designer my jailer turned fashion into something abstract and experimental in 1904 he unveiled a barbie collection. So. The idea was to take clothes. Barbie and. Blow them up to life size. People would say it doesnt fit properly and thats what id like it looks like a dogs garment a living person. Mark my jailer was also one of the 1st designers to use normal people as models 30 years ago the designer pioneered techniques now considered mainstream including up cycling he would reinvent garments found in flea markets turning them inside out and taking them apart at the seams many of todays style staples were 1st dreamt up by martin my jailor. Chic s. Along the other day i was waiting to cross the street and there was a girl in front of me in jeans with distressed seems thats classic marge ala ripped jeans his jeans were almost completely in trends was new today ripped jeans are expensive but it all started with him tory of a call on his from me. Martin my jailer retired from the fashion world 11 years ago sealing his legacy as i hope some of this film is a tribute to one of the most influential and any magic designers in 20th century fashion.
