A 2020 Academic Year has been cancelled. Then whats brewing in uganda well find out why coffee is a demand in the nation off teetering. Hello im kristie one to welcome to news africa its good to have you accompanied the European Union has said it will defend the International Criminal court against attempts to undermine it the e. U. Is the latest as situation to stand behind the courts off to washington sanctioned top officials in the hague now the i. C. C. S chief prosecutor 5 tubin sudha and her top aide bucky so much will have been blacklisted by the trumpet ministration over the coals investigation into the way the us forces committed war crimes in afghanistan now on wednesday the us navy. Just ate my own pail announced the sanctions on sudan accusing the i. C. C. Off huntin uing to talk its americans in june the trumpet ministration authorized the imposition of economic sanctions against foreign persons directly engaged in i. C. C. Efforts to investigate u. S. Or allied personnel and those who materially assisted in those in the in that effort today would take the next step because the i. C. C. Continues to target americans sadly pursuant to the 2nd order 13928 the United States will designate i. C. C. Prosecutor 52 bensouda and the i. C. C. As head of jurisdiction complementarity in Cooperation Division buckey so much to go for having material assisted prosecutor bensouda individuals and entities that continue to materially support those individuals risk exposure to sanctions as well additionally state department has restricted the issuance of this is for certain individuals involved in the i. C. C. Its efforts to investigate u. S. Personnel. So there for more on this database told me a lot of bull joins me at the big table tony good to see you sir tell us little bit more about the sanctions that. Are and well the u. S. Is not signatory to the i. C. C. So it cant withdraw in protest when something happens the i. C. C. Has no assets that the u. S. Can freeze or what does it do it targets individuals from the i. C. C. Right like to bensouda now these sanctions put her and her colleague under a list of specially designated nationals and blocked persons on this list includes members of al qaeda and isis drug dealers you know thats the kind of company that shes considered under. No if youre a terrorist hiding somewhere thats different when youre under this list but if youre somebody whos going around in the streets traveling trying to conduct business like i too would be doing then youre locked off and this essentially cut her off from any u. S. Business that operates and thats to add to the fact that shes already had her visit visa revoked that was done in 20 u. S. Visa in 2019 right ok so. Tell me i remember the last time the us went off to an African Holding position and the senior guys asian the deputy. They were there thank you for that you know he was under attack and we saw virtually every president of the african continent jump up to his defense this looks like a similar thing to me right you have this african woman under attack essentially for the work that shes doing and. Nobody saying anything on the continent the difference here is that the i. C. C. Has targeted some of these african countries in the past when relating to some of its cases when it comes to genocide and comes to war crimes and in fact in 2017 the African Union backed a Mass Movement in africa to exit the i. C. C. A lot of african countries felt that the i. C. C. Was targeting african countries and so if you look at cases like Omar Al Bashir former sudanese president who was under arrest warrant by the i. C. C. You also have kenyas president who are kenyatta as well who face charges those are just some of the examples that african countries felt were unfair ok lets talk about Fatou Bensouda as you mentioned she is the i. C. C. Stopper ski just so they know about her her tenure at the course well for to consider as the 2nd i. C. C. Prosecutor she followed Luis Moreno Ocampo as an argentinean and under his tenure there were 2 about 12 investigations that were run 10 of which focused on africa and so when 5 to consider came into office a lot of african countries felt well this is a way forward now maybe at least as if he thought maybe this would be a way of appeasing the africans ok and i and fact have been so they did go after other countries apart from cases in other countries apart from africa so she is actually nearing the end of a tenure she should finish her tenure next next june but its come at a time where i mean she has been looking to she has raised her pro. To a point but i think with all these cases of the african attitude towards the i. C. C. The u. S. Which of course is the major player in the world also opposing the i. C. C. I think that tarnish is the achievements that far to bensouda has has made all right tony i mean we must leave it there but we know that the e. U. And various other what has asians i the i. C. C. Itself have come out what has happened the decision taken by the United States told me as always thank you for coming in but that it. Now next story is in kenya where the government has cancelled the 2020 academic as part of its response to the koran a virus pandemic now thats left some 17000000 than is across the country out of school. Travel to talk talk thats near the border with tens anea to meet one of them. 2020 was the beginning of an exacting new chapter for vincent too Little High School but in mid march in response to corbett maintain the kenyan government closed all schools including Higher Education the measure disrupted the lives of nearly 17000000 students across the country for 16 year old to little its meant hiding his family cuttle out in the wild rather than pursuing an education. That was really exerted to do in his career because i have never been to boarding school. But i was frustrated when i was told schools would be closed and now i miss the interaction with students and sharing ideas its cool when these Long Distance learning comes with other challenges too little simply doesnt have enough time for studying. Now its just wake up look after and as americans and you cant concentrate when you try to study so much you fall asleep.

One side or 3 of the students looking up to the cattle could be at risk because. When the schools are cruel the young people go out into their wind to graze the culls and you know for them i say yes we are used to killing us. No there is. An imprisoned in the water from killing life but if the. Students we do not get time to do this. And its bodes well i know. But experts believe theres a lot of walked down before schools can safely reopening kenya. Being the 1st point to really be training for our teachers once weve done the training then we need to look at our infrastructure for example if all building was able to accommodate a group of 20. 00 how can we use it. Goes to noble as do social distancing. For now schools remain closed for the foreseeable future. Which but its yet another day of hiding cuttle for too little counting down the days until hes able to resume his dream of an indication that perhaps over time could change his life. Now to a trained brewing in uganda and i promise this is the last of the miserable and the puns today t. V. Has long been a preferred drink. But now more and more people are opting for coffee this emerging culture is fast any in business and in turn growing and new industry to serve them. Ugandan coffee is enjoying something of an ace on its. Face familiar grinding sound is attracting a new generation of coffee aficionados whether its for a quick pick me up or a relaxing chat with friends cafes like pisa becoming more popular.

So. That love clearly on show you the only question now for here or to go i do good. And that is it for now be sure to check out how this story is on d. W. Dot com dont forget to say forward slash africa were also on facebook and on twitter now as while as the coffee is hot just take a look at some way off africas finest coffee is growing the biggest branches in ethiopia and in uganda well see if its tied up by.

Europes museums are full of art that was stolen and looted during colonial times artifacts that are quite literally drenched in blood a new w. Documentary looks at how african nations and experts view the question of repatriation and also coming up. Colombian artists. Confront the legacies of spanish colonialism both with art history and society. And after the devastating explosion one month ago in beirut the citys cultural scene is shellshocked and see. The debate about how or whether to repatriate art that was acquired by colonial powers most often under brutal circumstances has been raging for some time in the capitals of europe not least here in berlin where the citys long contested who is preparing to house vast ethnological collections of stolen soul is a new documentary that tries to illuminate this debate and get africans to weigh in on possible solutions. Africas colonial overlords brutally strip the continent of countless Cultural Treasures the fate of these items is debated in new d. W. Documentary stolen sold africas looted. People. Are like prisoners friends. In their prison. Germanys ethnological museums are brimming with artifacts amassed overseas bought traded gifted and leave well over 1500000 of them the issue has politicized the european art sector like no other topic in recent memory. I get the impression that our debate here tends to remain very eurocentric if option one is talking to africans and asking them what they envisage. For example what to nigerians in visits for the famous spending in bronzes in 897. 00 the British Punitive expedition to bennys city the troops looted the royal crown is stealing fair. Thousands of valuable bronze in ivory works and distributed them to europes major museums. Or young people can see that some in 3 percent. Of. Nigerias contemporary art scene is one of the most vibrant in africa like it nneka art gallery in lagos the gallery owner. Would love to see the bronze is back in the country but shes well aware of the challenges. That. The documentary stolen soul collects voices from europe and africa and ultimately poses multiple questions to which there are no easy answers. Indeed well joining me now is the author of stolen soul i would didnt from the w. s documentary department welcome to the studio and wrote such an impressive overview of this issue youve brought us and yet its hugely complex the scope of your film is of course so much broader than what weve seen as a visual anthropologist what were you trying setting out to do with this film i had read a lot about what European Museum experts and researches thought about the issue of restitution but there often i felt like African Voices were a bit more of a side note so we tried to change that perspective and to really listen in what african opinions were out there and what i found was that the ideas and hopes of what to do with looted art a very diverse and its also very controversial debate within african countries so i was really struck by that quote that ethnological museums are like prisons from the one prince and yet the finishing touches are being put on berlins home but for many people asking the question whether there will be anything to put in it whats the solution in your opinion well 1st of all i think its quite unrealistic to think that there will be nothing to fill the museums. We saw in the film that there was a return there with my bible to namibia but there was still quite an exceptional event restitution are rare and the museums are not emptying out now when it comes to solutions there is no quick fix. The problem is that for a very long time germanys colonial legacy has not been addressed by museums or by the public in general so what museums could do is they could work even closer with post colonial initiatives and bring the debate to the museums and when it comes to freeing the objects from the prison aspirins commando ms says it needs a Legal Framework and Political Solutions ok so obviously thats an issue that needs to be taken up with the politicians as as weve talked about earlier and thats perhaps the subject of your next film. With any with at any rate thank you very much for bringing us this Job Well Done and stolen soul for our viewers is available on our you tube channel d w documentary so do be sure to check that out and thanks so much for coming into the studio today and. On the topic of rejecting the rules imposed by colonialism in our mini series well look at how foreign born artists who are based in germany are salvaging cultures that were sidelined by.

Art projects rules imposed by spanish colonialism the berlin based artist is interested in transgressions including sex in public. In this park where men meet for anonymous encounters installed temporary mirrored structures because to use. The bathroom he thought we were to be free with our bodies not about. Or. Practice it was. To. For the past years espinosa has traveled back to colombia to work with the community of trans sex workers collaborating on projects such as this float for bothas 1st trans march. To call attention to the rampant violence against trans people he helped make ceramic markers for the sites where members of the community have been murdered interventions and performances to work through the traumas of colombias Armed Conflict through shame and discrimination as spinosus work with trans people is rooted in his admiration for their courage. All wondering how they have the balls to do it at in a place like colonia you can be killed or a cat in danger how you go and who is pinned app in the street and you fied the whole thing corralled. He created this portable light up sculpture for a performance interest in germany. Works like a kind of allowed all still with all their. Cultures to communicate. Members of the community joined the performance by a spinosa and his collaborator a tour from.

To fight the track is the fight of the woman is the fight of the indigenous is the fight of their is the fight of. We are here where. We ceased to must be choosers to work with vulnerable communities as he says no life is more important than another. The paris of the middle east is how beirut was once described a vibrant city with a live for the moment philosophy that was on crushable despite years of civil war destruction religious strife and corruption a thriving cultural scene was also a spring of hope until august 4th when 2700 tons of Ammonium Nitrate blew the citys port to smithereens. In the days following the explosion anger in beirut through not a single building was left on damaged in the residential area behind the poor in recent years and not seen had emerged harking back to the cosmopolitan beirut of old many hoped it heralded a more liberal minded city now this hope has been destroyed. This is our museum for contemporary art was we a pond in 2015 following a long period of renovation it was a place where people could enjoy our food of charge for. When the explosion occurred the last visitors had left for the day ringback directors and i read i was still in her office its a miracle she wasnt injured what ive gone through really i was like i was shot by a sniper in 78 i was 8 years old i was at the beach since i was inside no kid in our generation the war generation who did not want to forget who want to talk interest and who threw the cup ters artistic initiatives we have been witnessing the nonresponsibility of the government and of course a Civil Society that is more and more. Acting as if it could placing the state which we have already been doing for the past 30 years. The true mother of lebanon civil war that ravaged the city is still very present the 15 year long conflict ended in 1990 terror attacks assassinations and economic collapse followed in a state in which the author r. T. Seemed to have given up critics say this years explosion was an accident but not a coincidence. This is not museum will be rebuilt the building needs to be secured before the harsh weather sets in help is coming from all over the world. But zain i read says simply rebuilding what was there before is not enough this time. Im committed to the museum im committed but i dont know how long i dont know how long im committed that depends im committed to my country depending on how it is going to evolve i mean we are ready if we are ready to govern this country. And our thoughts are with the people of lebanon as they rebuild yet again well thats all for this edition of arts and culture so until we meet again all the best for last year in berlin and to stay safe.

Its not often that the German Governments response is so swift and so openly condemning chancellor Angela Merkel calls the poisoning of alex a novel attempted murder alexina of only a stop files for me is the victim of a crime he was meant to be silenced and i condemn this in the sharpest possible terms in the name of the entire German Government of chefs. Now the only remains in an induced coma are at or below in hospital and in serious condition the attorney and anticorruption activist fell ill after boarding a plane in siberia heading for moscow on the 20th of august its believed someone poisoned his d. Before he boarded the plane the pilot was forced to make an Emergency Landing to save life the German Government says testing carried out by its military proves a soviet era nerve agent novi chuck was used. It was we expect the russian government to explain itself over this incident there are very serious questions now that only the russian government can and must answer for. Went on for. 3 years saying not only has been fighting to regress sure of what he calls crooks and thieves. And you know the United Russia Party has always won for 20 years and even if they lost using fraud they won anyway.

Pressure is now growing on the German Government to stop a major project being carried out with russia the controversial gas pipeline not stream 2 which has previously been criticized from many sides including e. U. Partners and the us. There are voices in germany already calling for a complete stop of the project this i believe would go too far but we have a situation with mr nobody who is hospitalized just a few 100 meters from here from the German Parliament and we have a german russian project this pipeline and business as usual is simply not an option german chancellor Angela Merkel said last week that not all news poisoning and not strain too must remain separate issues on thursday ive actually made it clear how the e. U. Response will ultimately be decided following moscows next steps. We have. Commented extensively yesterday on what were doing now and in the next few days and that of course depends a lot on the russian governments response but i have nothing to add today. Since. Now all eyes are on moscow as the world waits impatiently for a response to questions that only russia cannot answer. Can explore this further with russian opposition politician and former Energy Minister of the Russian Federation of latin may be enough he now works for alexei in the familys Anti Corruption foundation and joins us from moscow welcome to you clearly based in the valley and your organization have made many enemies in russia who do you believe is responsible for his poisoning. There is only one person can be named as one of them or putin because will he be able to or more than 20 years in power socalled power vertical where actually nobody dares to sneeze will his permission save on the 2nd murderous attack on the major pollutants political opponents no one else could have done it there is 0 possibility that social parisian could have been carried out without personal prudence permission so lets presume your rights. And whos behind this. And thats an alley has been a thorn in his side for many yes so if this was posted why do they snap. All this very simple if yr lease you forgets Boris Nemtsov the other russian Opposition Leader was murdered more than 5 years ago in moscow just a year plus ahead of the upcoming federal parliamentary elections with the news that you hear from russia 2 days which is Approval Ratings are at historic lows hes losing control in the russian regions one by one on them though you probably heard about 2 months of extreme lars proses soon the far east regional. You see this bill or a situation where you have like a real mess uprising against their own dictatorship in a very close proximity to russia all the savan sexually make to deliver a nervous ball the upcoming next years parliamentary complain getting read over for his Major Political opponents just a little bit ahead of parliamentary d elections is what he did before ok i think this was obviously the Old Fashioned his children know so given your suspicions presumably you had you well they involvements of the German Government and if they be International Attention its bringing. Yes we do and i think its important to carry out an independent International Investigation of what happened because right now even as we speak my colleagues are the scene of on isnt a Corruption Foundation are preparing for a Court Hearing scheduled for tomorrow where we have filed a complaint against the total in the action and denial to open the criminal investigation in russia russian authorities blatantly deny the need to investigate what happened to alex and on so given everything that we know and given that the potus they missed and of on this health i guess its good to have your suspicions confirmed but based news about this poisoning doesnt it scare you. Oh look fear is not something we really prefer to talk about have to roll what happens you either continue doing what youre doing or you dont simple as that if we are continuing if we continue working and. Getting engaged in our opposition activities means that we made our choice so we prefer not to talk about fear its not a were not scared but look we have to carry on.

Straight to david w. Correspondent rahsaan sound in beirut welcomed by ross on whats happening.

I wanted to stand at the graves of the children telling them that justice has won been done but now it seems it has not won theyre lying in the dark ground and here everybody is just doing whatever.
