Hello im kristie want to welcome to news africa have your company as always environmentalists in mauritian calling for an investigation into why dead dolphins have been found washed up on the Indian Ocean Island shore 7 more caucuses were discovered on a beach and grand sable on thursday its a day off to 17 of those were found mia and oil spill like that spill was caused by a japanese ship that struck a coral reef last month morrish the fisheries minister has said that at 1st glance the dolphin dates dont appear to be related to the spill but environmentalists say there must be an urgent inquiry to determine the cause of the ditz. My guest today is stefan goal of resistance to save vets a Political Party focusing on ecological and social issues in more rishis define is also an environmental activist and he joins me from the issues i welcome to day devaneys Africa Stefan so you visited the site with a dull fins was stranded what did you witness so yes we were unseen and work we saw. We saw. Prince so were going to go on construction to be more precise the men on how to where and this is where theres a confusion because its also called a truck. And so there was a there were 2 bodies lying on this show in a place called consomme which is under south eastern part of the island and what resort really is a book from behind. Them out. There where they were wounded one of them had been probably about by your values shock and then when we were. In the cedar tree we did sort. Of those are sincere and it was in the sea but they were a lot of blood on the on the on their back. So this is what i personally. Witnessed yeah thank you for carry find that i for one had made the assumption that you had dolphins and whales thank you for that clarification but has this stranding of these dolphins have anything to do with the oil spill in more vicious last month. Right so what we need to know is. 11 month back we had the right under ridge and that 20 days from now we had already spilt and 3 days from now we had bought the bow out of the dark were shocked but was sucked into the into the sea so i think its premature to establish it as a leak or not because its on the yesterday on the 26th of august that we saw the 1st specimen of the dolphins that were wrecking under a shock. But i think that theres a lot of question. In mine its from from what weve seen from what is happening and no we dont we want easy by what is being said by the operatives saying that there might not be a link between work and shoot and and so because it might not be if you go to the lagoon now it might not be visible the oil spill might not be visible but if you look at the surface of the sea you can see that there are still i broke up you but are still servicing the sea so that the level of. The law hood is not clearly known so we cannot conclude that it does not have a leak but we cannot jump to that conclusion saying that there is a link as well and ferry mass. There enough and i guess we could reach a conclusion if theres been no investigation and then know that a number of environmentalists in morriss are calling on the authorities to investigate how do you want such an investigation to be done stefan very quickly we have to wrap up soon. So thats not the point because theres a breach of trust between overusing the people now based on what has not been done since the wreck of the overwash so now were seeing that the analysis theyll be going to be soley about her gaze and be environmental theyre calling for independent. Inquiries to be done independent and out of this based on simple principle of science that you need to canterbury try and now were going to rely on one street specially when that stream has a circle so we are asking for the possibility to access one a piece one specimen of the government is to carry out an independent investigation im not one right that is different was speaking to us from russias thank you stefan its. A brief look now at some of the stories making news across the continent clearly it is in mali have a nice ousted president abraham from detention a spokesman from the military jim to say dont think stake but he says one of the International Mediation teams demands its being made by representatives from the west African Group of countries eckel less who are currently in the country meanwhile the European Union says it will temporarily freeze its operation in mali the important thing is to stress that our missions in mali civilian and military missions have been temporarily who hold. Because it is certain stances didnt allow them to continue their normal activity they are still there and they will start working again as soon as possible we cannot pretend to have used to be routine a country like manly with out having military capacity from the government and thats what were doing.

This time its almost full urals i read this one when it cost 0. 20 in the library thats when i started reading and. It was a bit of a normal. The price increase is partly due to rising production costs in this Printing Press for instance paper printing machines and ink are imported and the company has to pay very high taxes but rising prices dont appear to be spoiling the appetite for books in the bigger cities in a country with a Literacy Rate of less than 50 percent and where men still make up the majority of readers mobile vendors are playing a key part in boosting the availability of books for all.

A Nobel Prize Winner is called in for questioning in belarus as the authoritarian regime continues its crackdown on protests challenging the reelection of alexandre to crush the countrys long serving ruler will talk about literary voices as a moral authority and also coming up. 5 years after germanys welcome of over 1000000 refugees the syrian pianist is making a life for himself and his family. And ahead of the virtual ceremony for the 2020 good to medal awards we profile the 2nd of 3 laureates british novelist ian mckeown. Back in 2015th Fadlallah Alexei of it won the nobel prize for literature for work that as the jury remarked was a monument to suffering and courage in our time a writer is famous for chronicling her countrys troubled history through carefully constructed 1st hand accounts today shes one of the most outspoken voices of the Coordination Council thats a group that seeks new elections and talks with europes last dictator. A Nobel Laureate in literature on her way to question the famous author took the opportunity to warn against a split in the nation pitting the Lucan Shanklin system against peaceful demonstrators. But. This year if we are separated in this way become divided in this way we will surely slide into a civil war that is very dangerous our goal is to unite society and help overcome a political crisis not to initiate any overthrow. But it could a tie is precisely what the members of the newly founded Coordination Council are accused of the council insists it only wants to facilitate a peaceful transfer of power and balance. What we saw in the 1st 3 days of the confrontation when people were treated like that me was like something from the last century we have to talk to each other argue with each other my ideal is the red green flag in one hand the white red white in the other. But. The goal is to unite the demonstrators in white red white and the look of faithful in red and green. But look at shank oh is still determined to put the demonstrations down using brutal force. Many here welcome interventions from artists like alex a it. This is accidental but thats writers can Say Something in a way that goes straight to the heart can be very rational so that one forgets humanism and so on she reminds us of these general human values. My knees and if you think that and then the poem get them. Started on alex if it says if she were younger or not you know she might consider a role as a mediator but look i shant go has no interest in mediation you rests in minsk and other cities continue. Like save it speaks people do listen and joining me to speak about the voice of artists and intellectuals in dollars is my colleague Adrian Kennedy welcome adrian that we saw and i say its on her way there to her appointment with this Investigative Committee do you know what happened there was she didnt spend much time at the Investigative Committees headquarters she left quite quickly saying that she had invoked her rights not to testify against the self not to answer questions and reiterating that the councils only goal was to unites society now other members of this Coordination Council thats really seeking dialogue have also been targeted have been out as white former culture minister. Was questioned by investigators on choose day he was forced out of his job as director of the state. Fear after calling for new elections and complaining about the brutal suppression of the demonstrations is one of the highest profile Civil Servants to come out publicly against the regime and many actors at the theatre he ran have resigned in solidarity that its striking and perhaps also encouraging that literary voices are actually being heard in this debacle d. W. Has also spoken to the young novelist martino that whos a critic of the regime yes our colleague. Nikkis about spoke to him via video link hes one of the few people who are still in belarus in minsk who will speak to International Media and we asked him about the role of intellectuals and about the dangers of speaking out for a look at that we have almost everybody silenced right now or dissidents who used to be in a position and who used to be imprisoned for many years there are silenced because theyre very much afraid of course i am afraid and of course i realize words are they can put me in prison and so on but at the same time what what use of me if not saying true for what showing what what is the meaning of my life being if i am silent in the moment when Everybody Needs the truth theres so much innovation it was saying that he feared that many in the west see below us as part of russia but its been an independent state for around 30 years largely invisible to us he says there are problems there now and its time for the world to Pay Attention to them ok well attention is what we are attempting certainly a courageous voice from martino thats there in minsk and just for our viewers you can find the whole of that interview with Victor Martine of its on our you tube channel d w books and will certainly continue to follow that story thanks very much for bringing us up to date on that Adrian Kennedy thank you. Well the end of this month will mark 5 years since chancellor Angela Merkel made her famous assertion via shuffled us we can do this a statement that made was made at the height of the migration crisis that saw germany take an unprecedented 1100000 immigrants in 2015 while many of those refugees had fled the civil war in syria and the air how much was one of them. Because songs tell of pain and a lost homeland but also of hope 5 years ago pianist fled syria specifically the yarmouk refugee camp for palestinians. Back there he played music to counter the nightmare scene of bomb craters and ruined buildings and created beauty to fight despair. It was hungry or so and i dont kown feed my family but i was keeping playing piano we die anyway we will die from hunger in 56 days volume when i dont die play piano at least its held me i dont think music its feeds people or helped people really its helped the mentality to see at least to the whites why to place in the end all this got us through off in the. Neighborhood of damascus it was under constant c. Trim i asked troops for years people there had no electricity no food or medicine and a ham played music. In the images of him playing went viral when a ham fled to germany in 2015 he was already a minor celebrity and was quickly offered a public stage but he felt uncomfortable with the attention. I am here famous playing piano that the. And you still feel moved but we are a group of people i thought i took a break in connection with him its not easy you know when somebody is still dying from hunger and you tell him look we speak about you hear what its done for me there you know this is this is not the easy here he is performing at a refugee shelter in berlin a celebration marking 5 years since chancellor Angela Merkels we can do it statement in the meantime ahabs wife and sons have joined him and he can work play in concert people listen to him. I am not star in the liver liver feel i am a star i feel responsible to tell it is blah blah blah what i tell it no its important libby its not so important for people to hear it but at least i feel responsible to tell it and i use every mike every camera to tell that 4 people a ham songs deal with what hes experienced and hes also written his autobiography which was published in germany last year in it he tells of his father who built Musical Instruments and of his own childhood in a still peaceful syria he tells of the children he watched die and of the moment when i asked fighters burned his piano but constantly retelling his story takes its toll. When i go on with this a story and remembering remembering the war its really too heavy and this is why i will stop the music because when i go on i just well will still the pianist and the trombone or that this image but the horrible images from us mads past wont stop so easily hopefully he wont give up music it helped him during his darkest times and it helps him now allowing him to make a living and a new life in germany. This week or celebrating the winners of the good in that all for 2023 leading lights whos we. Work in literature and the arts has built bridges for cultural understanding and our 2nd laureate is britains ian mckeown an incredible novelist whose mind works much like a latin messed this thing the foibles of human nature with an ever painful precision. In mcewen has published 20 novels and collections of short stories in 21000 he published 2 books. In machines like me he tells the story of an android and asks are robots perhaps better than humans. The cockroach is a biting satire about mckeown imagines an insect transformed into the british Prime Minister its the most of firstly political novel hes ever written in mcewen is a vocal and passionate remainer describing brecks it as the most pointless masochistic ambition ever dreamed up in the history of these ideals we lost that battle we were outmaneuvered. We were divided among ourselves and many were. We now just have to hope that. We can get away with that it works out. You know were now in a paradox of hoping that breaks it somehow works. You know theres nothing else we can. Even make un has garnered numerous awards in the course of his career but he partly grew up in germany and has a sentimental attachment to the country so they got a medal has a special significance to be honored in the name of johan gang from carter is an honor indeed. Sometimes we talk about what information we should send. Us an unmanned space ship that was in an evil or solar system we sent. We had to send a representative in humanity and i think girls who would come pretty close to the top of my list because his interests were not in literature in drawing. In writing a cock in the nature of life. Public administration and politics and music. And there are similarities in mcewen is also a serious thinker with a vast range of interests in the tradition of the great polymaths.

Our again laura leaves at least one person dead and communities in rooms after it batters the u. S. Gulf coast the state of louisiana hardest hit by the most powerful storms in years. And a city on edge after unrest over the Police Shooting of a black man President Trump says theyll deploy more National Guard troops to get osha in the state of wisconsin if necessary. I brought in thomas good to have you with us today germanys state premiers have agreed on tougher measures to combat an increase in new corona virus infections travelers returning from high risk areas will have to quarantine for 2 weeks big events remain banned at least until the end of the year and people breaking the rules on wearing a Face Covering in public will be fined but shells are mackerels push for a comprehensive National Strategy for pandemic guidelines fail to get the backing she saw. It took 5 and a half hours of virtual talk to reach an agreement the rules for travel to high risk countries will be tightened stricter quarantine and no more Wage Compensation for the time of crowing teen. We heard all those returning from travel to comply with a quarantine obligations and those also meet their responsibility towards fellow citizens knew that travel to designated risk areas is to be avoided whenever possible isnt and also give us new musical beat that. Germany has navigated the pend make fairly well but the number of new daily cases has been rising since early july worrying with the prospect of the upcoming flu season. For the fact that we are facing a winter that cannot be calculated at least from a current point of view when we do not know what effects the flu and other illnesses will have the numbers are too early too high so our goal must be to bring down the numbers and to avoid a 2nd lockdown by. The political leaders agreed on a minimum fine for those who dont wear face masks people returning from low risk countries wont be offered free testing anymore but the testing capacities will be expand it. Kunt to every infection that is detected early is again every infection that is not recognized as a problem and every infected person who gets a negative test result is downright a danger. And you can find that governments are also extending a ban on major events such as concerts or sports at least until the end of the year the premiers and the chancellor couldnt reach an agreement on a limit of people attending private festivities lets get more now or do you ever use chief Political Editor michelle. At that press conference with the chancellor wrapped up just a few moments ago michelle the issues that were on hand here today a lot of them weve seen before but there are some new items whats new as of today. Well there clearly is an intention to look less at the individual responsibility but to put more of the onus of policy on actually controlling what people are doing for instance those people but turning from areas deemed to be risk areas those quarantines already in place people are required to stay at home until they have a negative test but that that is something thats the government wants to monitor a lot closer than they have done in the past also the bottom line really is that Angela Merkel is once again trying to get Something Like National Control over the next step of measures taken rather than leaving it to the individual states which she has done and which also legally is the case in germany over the last couple of weeks she says she takes it seriously that the numbers are rising and thats where the need for more coordination comes from. At this press conference did you get a sense that the gels or was winning this push for National Guidelines and leaving behind what weve had and told now subsidiarity having the individual states decide whats the best thing to do in their individual areas regions. Yes and no she wasnt able to get an exact figure on the family gatherings for instance that should be allowed also a common agreement on how schools handle the question of mosques and those individual regulations that all firmly also beleaguered stays within the hands of the federal states but what she did manage to secure is agreement to those bottom line measures like those minimum fines are not wearing a mask to create awareness once again that the coronavirus is still in German Society that the new normal cannot be relaxing because the numbers are rising once again i did ask her what that meant for borders potentially being closed or whether the government would actually not allow people to travel she says that is not on the cards for now but you wont find a government willing to rule anything out for than if you ok what about trucking was discussed we understand theres going to be an electronic Entry Program can you tell us something about that. Yes but the big question that is whether that technology will be up to its a. T. M. Is to have electronic tickets to make it easier to transfer data upon arrival on those people arriving from risk areas to those Health Authorities in charge but theres still talk of probes of checking up on these people but not on every single one so clearly theres no not even the aim to have a no gap approach to this because looking at the figures it simply doesnt seem possible right now what about public gatherings the public gatherings are going to be banned until at least the end of this year what kind of gatherings were talking about here how many people are involved in those. Well were talking about this still individual regulations according to which states youre talking about but the big question is will people be allowed back into stadiums football is a really big issue here there will be a special commission on that to look at those risks the general rule of thumb is if you can track and trace and keep separate the people who will attend youre not allowed to conduct a commercial lot scattering a lot that is still within the realm of recommendations but it would be very interesting to see whether football which is so high on the agenda would be able to well come at least in some states people back fans back into the stadiums thats an open question there are millions literally of people following that question very closely michel thanks very much. Lets get you break down some of the other stories making the news at this hour rising floodwaters in sabbat have left dozens of people dead thousands of homes have been destroyed the waters have submerged vast tracts of farmland and are starting to encroach on the capital khartoum heavy rains have been slowing the nearby blue nile to record levels. In south africa violent clashes between protesters and police have erupted in johannesburg demonstrators been expressing their anger over the killing of a 16 year old boy who was allegedly shot by police in the city on wednesday local media say a number of officers have been injured and. Its to the us now where the city of jos wisconsin remains on edge in the aftermath of a recent Police Shooting their black man 29 year old jacob blake was shot several times in the back on sunday as he tried to enter his vehicle this incident sparked a National Outcry and has been fueling ongoing unrest on the streets of going to show. Wednesday saw another night of protests in konoha but this time demonstrations stayed peaceful a day after the fatal shootings of 2 people please respect for this piece he doesnt speak of secret Ness Community on wednesday police in the neighboring state of illinois arrested a 17 year old in connection with the shooting he was part of a selfstyled can osa private militia video show him firing his gun hitting multiple people. At the Republican National Convention Vice president mike pence said the violence must end. Too many heroes have died defending our freedom to see Americans Strike each other down we will have law and order on the streets of this country for every american of every race and creed and color. That line got plenty of applause at the convention but did little to appease many in canoga the Milwaukee Bucks Basketball Team refused to play a scheduled game and other teams followed suit were calling for justice for jacob lee and demand all be held accountable. Federal authorities are now investigating the circumstances of blakes shooting. Lets find out more about that with our Washington Bureau chief of the chief enos paul joining us now nice to see you ines no we have several partly contradicting reports on the events that led to the shooting of jacob blake can you bring us up to date with the latest. Well its many things as it really is still unclear and its kind of telling that the Police Release is so little i mean what is really dominating the news here right now is really this 17 year old man who was able to cross the state line 2 can no shot with his long rifle. Around his neck hes and obviously some supporter of this footage social video footage showing him on the front line of trump rallies he also opposed to trump supporting messages on his facebook so this is really dominating the discussion right here in the United States and how this can happen that a 17 year old boy can kill people on the open streets ok no beating up on the on the on rest all the problems and it can in addressing the Republican National Convention Vice president mike pence called for an end to americans killing americans and for a return to law and order is not a vote winner in the Current National climate. Well you know he obviously wanted really to reach out to the stronghold of donald Trump Supporters and this message will be fine with him the big question is is that enough to really convince those swing voters to vote for donald trump again that was kind of dont like his harsh appeal his is destructive way to do politics but the whole kind of setting of the conventions were quite smart with that because trump who spoke 2 days ago he kind of she kind of tried to reach out to women she kind of try to reach this very important white suburban women to vote again for trump so it was rather her who was meant to convince the bigger crowd to pence last night he was just like preaching to the choir tonight President Trump will be officially doing his partys nomination what is he going to be saying in terms of picking up on the conventions message to the American Voters so far what does that. How thats going to be very interesting to see you know the 1st 3 days they were meant to show the Republican Party as a party who is open to minorities many many africanamericans of appeared many women appeared so that was kind of the some inside of the Republican Party if you want to say so donald trump most definitely will appear very differently he will probably really play law and order and go back to this strict harsh law and order message he had before they will do joe biden and say hes like supporting the far left so that may be very different tonight from the night before in a stunning so much from washington saying in the u. S. Rescue efforts of slowly getting underway in the state of louisiana after was battered by the most powerful storm in years at least one person reported after hurricane laura hit louisiana and neighboring texas with high winds. Hurricane laura made landfall as a category 4 storm ravaging through the Southern States of the u. S. d now is of homes in texas and louisiana are submerged in water and many others are severely damaged. Hundreds of thousands of people have been ordered to evacuate although some refused to leave planning instead to enjoy the storm and elevated homes there are fears that they may be trapped under the wreckage. Rescuers have to wait for winds to die before searching for survivors. Forecasters warn of a continued risk to lives as the storm moves inland deeper into louisiana which has weakened from a category 4 storm. Its always time for thanks so much for being with us.
