Im michael okun welcome to the program at least 90 people have been arrested in hong kong in protests against the governments decision to postpone Elections Police fired pepper balls at prodemocracy campaigner protesters are angry that authorities will hold elections to the citys Legislature Next july instead of this sunday authorities have blamed the coronavirus pandemic for the delay antigovernment protesters have been held across since june last year. And correspondent phebe kong joins us now from hong kong by phone phebe hundreds of people are protesting there today against the press boning of the elections what exactly are they worried about. Yeah i have been writing that sos has all i said all afternoon in hong kong today and all this week with her protests so kind of like give me back my clothes and i want to kind of like those guys on the street so today i originally on this is just an election day one of the most important election in a city. Like this and so it acts like a state representative in the parliament the government. The election 4 and 4 Year Public Health present one a virus send them so people are angry about the layout of the election and also the implementation of the National Security law which has already been imposed for 3 months so people feel very much want to express the content to us the new elected section so theres clearly very little public trust in the local government there we understand that protestors have been arrested what else can you tell us about that. Well in a way but you have mentioned that today as least 90 people have been arrested on the streets but earlier today before the rally. One of the leaders of the one of the Opposition Party in the city temperature he was arrested by police or. Police accused in all of us to reinsert fissions more play out inciting hatred and contempt against the government so this. And accusation really been used in the past to talk at the opposition fighters and this is conducted by the National SecurityDepartment Office at least 4 and they admit to that originally they want to rent the can pay for charges under the National Security for later on they think thats a more appropriate charge so critics say this is an on that sample all the government talking opposition fighters financing its kind of socalled trying. To one of the leading opposition voice in syria arrested for inciting hatred so besides the rest has there been any other reaction from hong kong authorities. Also about the hope and government hasnt really shown that to the rally today but we are pretty sure that it was from sam and for the time to read it because its not and also i fairly by the authorities and the police force today they deployed over 2000 officers on the scene. In downtown on call that they come down to kind of like unapproved assembly things that. People shouldnt gather and shouldnt like that help quote any rally without the comment on the ability so this is pretty much what we expect from the authorities but you wus up to the congo watching a developing story for us there in hong kong much appreciate exceeding.

Switching gears now arts and culture may have been badly hit by coronavirus but venice is in the middle of hosting the entertainment industrys 1st major festival since the pandemic began there are temperature chance at all entrances to the 77th the Venice Film Festival and everyone must wear a mask but that hasnt kept people away with some big names gracing the red carpet even hollywood actors are expected to follow the rules. For more on this lets bring in scott roxboro from d. W. Culture who is in venice scott welcome the festival clearly in full swing what are the highlights so far. Yeah it is really coming along strongly here in venice and one of the top pilots have to say for me has been Vanessa Kirby the british actress who you might know from Netflix Series the crown where she plays Princess Margaret shes here with 2 films and has really taken over the festival i mean 2 very very different roles in one film pieces of a woman she plays a woman traumatized by the loss of her baby and in another the world to come she is a pioneering wife on the prairies in 1000. 00. And 2 very very different roles and 2 roles that i think shes astoundingly good in and a completely unlike the roles ive seen are in before i think but as a kirby will definitely be one of the top of the awards list next week when when theyre handed out here and. She was clearly remarkable are you still there with us. Oh yes yes yes yes i can still exist here you hopefully the connection is not too bad im just going to say my absolute highlight of the festival so far is out of competition its a film called apples from a greek director and its basically almost a fairy tale its set in an analog world so no cell phones no Digital Technology but somethings happening people are being struck with amnesia they are forgetting the basic facts of life basically the whole film is an analogy of Digital Technology whats what its doing to our memories which are uploading our memories into apple like devices beautiful charming little movie and for as i say my highlight of the Venice Film Festival ok after months of coronavirus lockdown the Film Industry is hoping for a restart with the festival as is of course to the city of venice as well ventre surely needs the tourism but many locals hope it can resume in a new way lets have a look at this report and then well talk in a moment. Its only a stones throw from venice is famous st marks square to the arsenal quarter where many born and bred venetians live. Like ariana and her husband even who run their own small pasta factory its a traditional business bravely resisting being displaced by mass tourism. Business is fragile its a delicate fine city and it doesnt need a certain kind of tourism if all you want to do in venice is take a walk then go to las vegas and visit the fake friends theyre not here. At the front of the store marianna wants to buy pasta quickly he has to repair electrical appliances but he couldnt make ends meet. I had to change jobs because the local population was decreasing and i didnt have enough work to live off in short i became a gondolier so. Many people ask what kind of tourism really benefits venice during the height of the pandemic in italy the city was shut down for 10 weeks and its still unusually empty the Guggenheim Museum now opens only 4 days a week the majority of visitors are italians the director recognizes the power of art particularly in a time of crisis. We must also think that about protecting it for us but also for future generations so if there is an opportunity and we have to see whether this opportunity will be will be taken and understood by the right people and the younger generations look well say corona could represent an opportunity to reimagine venice. If they get it without mass tourism we arent slammed all the time we can be more cultivated ourselves this city deserves that. We may show me this is a moment for objectivity a new chance to rethink our city and protect it gentler of them welcoming to tourists but in moderation a potential path forward as venice looks towards a post corona future. Even in crisis such a romantic looking sees what is to fuel their collective that each year. To be honest ive been to venice many many times i come here every year and this time because there are so few tourists here i was at st marks square just yesterday i had almost all to myself because massive turk of the mass tourism has been sort of locked out its actually delightful i really hope that the city which relies so much on tourism will use this crisis to find a way to for upon a more sustainable form of tourism to keep it alive and to keep people enjoying this amazing amazing city of culture. A very envious michael saying to scott thank you from venice well see you later. Youre watching the news dont forget to download the d w news or follow our stories and correspondents on instagram and twitter at the w. News our web site is d w dot com up next is world stories which looks at a confrontation between black lives matters activists and supporters of President Donald Trump in oregon im michael looking for me and the entire news team here in berlin thanks for watching well have the news as always in 45 minutes. Happiness fears for everyone schuman penises are very different from primates feel as if we have made totally ridiculous the size view nature and see that this is Climate Change crisis sex how fetus improved books you get smarter for free to go where you brooks on. A meal time to complete the 2nd season. Its think about the environment its still about society its still about us but all planets on the brain we spoke to several leading experts in the field. Looks useful only brief and specific. This week on world stories but Jungle School for running a tanks is on its own kind of lockdown. Protected wildlife has been found on restaurant menus. But started. In the United States and some cities black lives matter protesters are being intimidated by Trump Supporters now in Washington State a right wing militias patrolling the streets. Target training with the Armed CivilianGroup American wolf somewhere in the state of washington this is one of peter dio says favorite rifles that a tory is a k 47 or kalashnikov originally made by the soviet army but now a weapon of choice to defend American Values as he says. Pretty good classic so they dont make them like that anymore right dias believes it takes armed men like him and his group to keep america the way it is. They fear freedom is under threat in the wake of the pandemic and countrywide protests but theyre also led by conspiracy theories. Their government is in the midst of a coup. Theres certain members of our government who are actively working to change this government from what its designed to be the land of opportunity theyre trying to turn us into some sort of socialist government a new form of government humanitarianism where the group is on what they call a mission to portland in the past they have acted a self declared peace keepers tonight they want to get firsthand impressions off the Portland Protests that have been going on for more than 80 nights im sure you might the view of refuses to wear face masks protesters attacked them immediately i believe like some of it has to do with our president. Let that kind of behavior and that ideology just courage and i think that now they think that they have power. When they go were not here for black lives matter. And there all here for white supremacy. But d. S. Insists his group does not stand for wide supremacy if he wants the police to take tougher action against what he sees as a violent black lives matter movement. In my opinion when it gets to this type of. Mob mentality it should be dispersed thats where i stand with it. Police hanging back i understand that theyre worried about the numbers growing but i would handle the situation differently if i had the manpower and equipment. Critics say on civilian groups like american wolf are inside seeing violence just by their presence but in the end it was they who had to retreat. For many years animal conservationists on the west indonesian island of sumatra have been caring for rain attacks but here too the corona pandemic has put the Jungle School on lockdown. Humans have to keep their distance from a ring of things to even at lunch time. Because both species are at risk of contracting the new corona virus. These are wrong or tangs are under lockdown and have had to stay in their cages for months. In jail and. You can train them to find it interesting to get them for it so we bring the forest for them. And. Their minds. So they can learn their meals are delivered wrapped in leaves so they have to figure out how to get the food useful practice when theyre later released into the wild. The cages are disinfected twice a day. Hygiene is of crucial importance. The teams who care for the animals rotate every 3 weeks before they start work staff have their temperature taken another coronavirus precaution they shot the video for this report themselves long time d. N. A. Is 97 percent identical to the out of humans so theyre extremely susceptible to all our diseases especially those affecting the risperidone tract. You know thats the main reason why weve imposed such strict quarantine. Has been reporting on this project for years 3 an aim is to prepare a rang a tank for survival in their natural jungle habitat in the. Rain forest in central sumatra. Many were rescued as orphans often held captive as pets under terrible conditions they had forgotten or had never learned how to move through the tree tops forage for food and build nests their keepers at the Jungle School teach them all these skills usually out in the forest itself this was before the corona virus pandemic the lock down can only be relaxed once the pandemic has been contained this is not good for the animals their fitness deteriorates and they become bored even the. Those that have already been set free currently lead better lives. From our. Money. Should any tanks here catch the coronavirus they wont pass it on to other ones in the wild whats more they tend to be naturally self isolating creatures anyway and dont hang out in big groups. The team faces the challenge of protecting their wards from possible infection while also training them for release. This video was shot a couple of years ago there is no guarantee that a selfsustaining population will emerge here again over the past half century 80 percent of the regions rain forests have been cut down to make way for vast plantations. On our last visit paid to pocket stress the importance of saving the forest and teaching the orangutans survival skills. The number of covert 1000 cases among humans in indonesia continues to rise the project has a back up plan of the lockdown goes on for too long. It will release its a ring it turns into the wild before theyve completed their schooling but will then provide them with longer term support out in the forest. In many african countries the trading protected wildlife for its meat is strictly prohibited even so many produce markets are full of it one example can be found in the nigerian capital lagos. It doesnt matter what day it is this market stays open shortly after the april lockdown it was the 1st come its customers back crocodiles penguins endangered species are openly salty are available to anyone willing to pay the right price naftali if you know youre an average guy this 1. 00 is our business does not follow a crocodile goes for 30. 00 to 75. 00 a small penguin for 25. 00 bush meat is pricey demand is high. Its not just seen as a delicacy among wealthy nigerians the country is an emerging transit hub for the illegal wildlife trade tons of penguin scales are shipped to asia every year. We are meeting china do more ball at this market hes a wildlife activist who says nigerians place little value on their own white life they feel this is sweeter its tasty whatsoever but what they dont understand is that most of this animal that you have continued home to over time i really do have seen in a number of very soon they will be gone today a lizard is on sale to chino who is trying to buy up animals that are still alive and save them before they are killed a race against the clock. If i dont buy them too for my purpose which is a feeling for what i believe people will come and buy them for food and ive seen most of these animals the common like this every day bit they are lost in nigeria to protect the species we are showing the pictures to representative of a Governmental Agency that is supposed to enforce the law so why is this business floor showing them a song and not away at all. Try to just put us in the really know what is happening so you cannot just pile some people in to kill the people 1st saw and continue to do continues education then of course then they force them to follow only to. China who says nigeria has a lot of problems and why life is not the priority. For 5 years and a half might have been living in germany as a syrian refugee hes managed to rescue his passion for playing the piano ruins of his hometown and bring it to his new home. His songs tell of pain and a lost homeland but also of hope 5 years ago pianist fled syria specifically the Young Refugee camp for palestinians. Back there he played music to counter the nightmare scene of bomb craters and ruined buildings and created puting to fight despair. It was hungry or so and i dont count even 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 feed people or helped people really its helped the mentality to see a clear. The whites white the place in the in all this got us through off in the other more come. Yarmulkes a neighborhood of damascus it was under constant siege from i asked troops for years people there had no electricity no food or medicine and a ham played music. Was found. In the images of him playing went viral when they have 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. That. I am here famous playing piano the pianist of the arm or what we are a group of people i thought i took a bit 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 here up 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 at 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 when i go on with this is story under the mumbai india remembering the war its really too heavy here and this is why i will stop the music because when i go on i just with will just tell the pianist and the trombone or that its image but the horrible images from last 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.

But 1st lets focus on our main topic today Human Trafficking many african migrants who make the dangerous and sometimes deadly journey to europe and up. Their young girls are forced into prostitution to pay off the traffickers and men end up smuggling or dealing drugs usually not willingly. When next report examines how nigerian gangs in italy have turned their greet on their fellow citizens in a foreign land. Italian coastal town of kossovo. A popular Tourist Destination today the kremlin prime sport its controlled by the nigerian mafia every would make rilya through cracks and forced into she does it somewhat safe enough. Because i want to be. From. Many places. Where they can. Do everything they want. To find the. Most of the illegal activities take place and what a major mafia cause connection houses are and one raid italian authorities found weapons drugs and evidence of prostitution here human beings are treated like the disposable most of the prostitutes are trafficked from Subsaharan Africa especially in nigeria like lesson she is just one of many women who fell victim to the criminals in nigeria and Computer Scientist was lured to europe by them a few scenes with the promise of a high paying job she came to italy vast spain with all the right people away like thousands of other Nigerian Women here ended up on the streets quango. I got scared when they took away my phone. And when they told me that i now eat them 65000 euros only then did i realize i was in the crimea has all the traffickers. In the mind the traffic can think. Blessin had a curry to escape from have tormentors she went to the police and was taken in by none. Other. When they put you out on the street theyre always smiling when youre watching new if a potential customer comes by on their car they keep a list and check your earnings later that evening to make sure youre not hiding money if you get pregnant they give you some abortion drugs and then lock you up inside for 3 days aided neither will blame angel. Or davide wants to remain anonymous used to work as a drug trafficker he like so many other nigerians would swallow little packets of cocaine and then smuggle them to italy. So i can swallow up 1. 2 kilos you cannot get enough so you have to steer to these without food many smugglers die in the process if just one cooking packet breaks open inside it in just time the smuggler will die some of them smuggle up to 20 or 30 packages each 7. 00 to 8. 00 centimeters long. The 1st time not this child been moved there just. By the question on the ground in the hounds and with for the person to die then they think he must go to hooters and more importantly the person be a value of human being you know completely 0. The mafia is unforgiving drug only and punishments are dealt out to anyone who breaks the rules. You continue to pursue and they will give you to any member of this in the group to go in truly. In the forest so if the body is sick about it it. Surely nobody countries and know what is up to happen so that the my dear mafia now practically has free reign in custody but doable. Davide has cooperated with italian authorities he wants to help fight the mafia even if it means putting his life at risk every criminal victims of Human Trafficking are under an incredible amount of pressure they fear for their lives and for their families keep that in mind as you what a brave analyst openly on our street debate on Human Trafficking our reporter christine will went to to hear from former victims and discuss possible solutions. The 77 percent is in italy and we have to get the story of the slave trade of women from africa over the last 3 years 20000 women all of them nigerian many of them mine is have arrived in italy via the Mediterranean Sea the United Nations says 80 percent of them get that number again 80 percent of them are victims of trafficking or in danger of falling into the hands of victims were going to be hearing 1st from 2 women who know that story or 2 well princess im going to come to you 1st how did you land up in the city i came to live through a woman who was seen monday in italy. She was. A human traffic on she came to my states its in my restaurant because i was shift. You think she proposed to mean that i could very well and also means me that if i would like to go to college she was one saw to me and i would be able to walk in Italian Restaurant i was a good shave. By day and i didnt know anything about Human Trafficking in prostitution and when we got through to linda sold me to one of the youngest just finished bringing had dipped she was eggs victim of Human Trafficking although that was how i was sure as this live ok thats princes a story basing im going to come over to you and start right at the same place as i did with princess how did you land up in a city when i arrived in italy they told me that i was in dept head with the sum of 65 cows and you. Even they really are you on this today i help falling into the hands of traffic as then i was really frightened i was afraid i was really trauma. You know what it means to get up yourself to a mother you never know do not want to see me as a woman so moved with more than one month it did you think get me to do rolled with where teens were i could not keep it i kind i could remember when asked how when the report to the police what at the time your government doing about it one of the things that we know is that and we heard from princess and placing is that they dont report the victims dont come and reports yes its very important that the victims can soar to us to tell their stories because a. Dont you to trust in our. In our system in our governments in our Law Enforcement their need to trust. To the right. When they are in italy im interested to know about how that whole thing but its but some said way in here the difficulty is this one is the language barrier shoe in africa where we came from we dont have we is not a society when you have a problem with somebody you go to tell the police theory. See it the modern is just tricky that if you want to report the police are going to arrest you dont have a document they are going to deport you you straight i mean that if you report me i will kill your more that we kill youre brought out we destroy you you swear so the whole team we come of quick to duck very individual mind you become confused ok im going to come see the and i have a question to say what you need to say 1st and then i follow up with my question we do know that victims of Human Trafficking victims less willing to cooperate we dont stay there waiting for our report because we know there are the parents pressure there on the modern threatening her encounter for example we males and that working all together building in the situation without a witness statement this kind of way to combat Human Trafficking has been really successful in a few months we are able to arrest we have been arrested so many people more than 100 in the last 2 years in 2018 we had. 198 years of imprisonment for many traffickers ok im going to come back to you now because we lets try and think about the solutions one of the things you spoke about earlier was the fact that there is demand and supply talk to us about that and why that needs to change i believe that a busy economy means we tell you that a reduction in the mine with the tool supply as well because i believe that the European Union need to be truthful and they need to do the right thing but its not the European Union standing right here and women to to its really i mean i want to talk then like i did prostitution what those around me go are using it right up parts of a woman to be caught ok and then he has on a 2nd i think even if it does look like he said i want to talk about this this fundable part of the world because im not satisfied. With the idea that the only solution is from a european perspective how can we end trafficking and weve been listening to people we do you all know and us we all know frica that we we stand and sit in office and look for people who know theres something i want to see our government is not happy martha we cannot keep saying we blame in European Union europe and you know let me say for example something how the different i dont have to send my good friend to go walk. To freedom me to pay my house frank blows me. You are much among the 1st on the market to buy good yeah you know hes saying that the solution is among i was right in my truck right now trying to i need i need a solution from princes i need a solution from you i said that one of these solution is that we should train our young ones in the way of red just made sure that when they grew up there would never become a victim or a glint thats number one the number 2 we need to go back to our own country you know got to. Grips with our government so its Free Education and also give the youth what you need to get a job because most of the victims because they dont have Free Education and they dont get jobs leave it there this has been the 77 percent weve been talking about the fact that many Young African womens on the streets of italy day and night weve told weve been told that theyre not prostitutes that theyre slaves because some of the solutions were interested to know what you think get in touch with us via social media with a conversation continues. Thank you christine we also asked you for your thoughts on the issue of Human Trafficking weve got a lot of responses for example. To life from a broad general area ses its disgusting and disheartening. Theres nothing like home recharge or bussy not she a student in italy says one way to stop it is for africana leaders to stop the looting and make africa what it should be the envy of the world thank you for all your comments keep the conversation going and in did that africans determined to make the continent the envy of the world chris told from ghana is one of them she moved to canada for university but she then decided that if she wanted the conversation around africa to change for good she should move back to ghana and become part of the conversation herself. I mean with crystal. I want to be away from the best of. Times i have a lot of things in place for people who want to work later on and if you want to settle there youre also seeing she served time. There. So it took me a while to find people who are also travel. Africa and then bring you up to. Write you know and then the conversation would start. I started a company there already you know when when friends would have parties that. Take care of the menu like ok this type of food is going to look like the kind of d. J. Were going to have and. Meanwhile i still have my comics. Back pocket apartment was the place where always have discussions like very discussions about you know why maybe god is not doing as well if its true why africa is running out smoothly you. Know actually im doing something because im out here and i have been blessed to get their education and the knowledge and then i started changing my my will just question and it became more like ok i mean. I need to impact i need to change. I came down then called my interview that i had for the event come global life and i had moved back and i sat in the interview and i fear for this job and i remember looking like him and thinking. Like well i have my day. I dont. And i think i got hired because. Canada where ok. Everyone has a vote and everyone throwing the ball to bring the biggest together here doing everything. I was. Even. I was doing. The decor stuff of the event planning. My advice to people who are still living on. Your own and youre thinking about coming back is just come with the mindset that its not going to be. But its possible. That you havent. Forgotten. What an inspiring story thats one way we can end the cycle of migration the brain drain and Human Trafficking lets now head over to Eastern Africa specifically she berra nairobis biggest. This is the home of kennedy or did his dream is to make clear what the affordable for everyone living there but fast he had to deal with the local. This is kibera slum in nairobi pipes with fresh water run through sewer tunnels for a long time residents have been suffering under these conditions but there is hope now a connection of pipes run above the slums shanties they provide residents with clean and she porter all thanks to kennedy or did. Growing up in this community it was a tough life of war what i was was i remember looking to. To go and fetch water there you know cutting it on my shoulder and then seeing also my neighbor at night who are sick and dying because no health care having grown up in kibera an experience the effects of unsafe or to face hands kennedy or did they founded the n. G. O. Show of course but he would soon face fierce opposition from the socalled water cattails. Idea of water was so the question to me it was a little bit dangerous at the same time because young people who makes a lot of money because the very powerful powerful men in this community they can tell those run their own want to see still selling of a prize in an i. G. Quarter and they put an end to any competition with brutal metal. My dream was to bring clean affordable water to the community. But my pipes were cut to pieces. Although he was afraid of the cartels kennedy decided to approach monday every bag then he was a gang member and leader of the water mafia i knew from wonderful. How to be the minister of water i chuckle. Like what we. Were talking a little bit and then after the public want to play you he really quit a really small amount of money if you do not. Thats how it started and nobody ever touched the water. For monday it was an easy decision to switch sides and wait for the ngo instead of the cartel its took 6 months for me to agree to work with him because i feel like. That. He cannot be my employer i was look sleeping. But now hes happy with his new job. I feel very proud. Doing what i do to the Community Reaching out to former gang members like mandela who was the key to making this Community Service work the price of water reduced to one 5th of the former price and the quality is better to ensure the water meets the Safety Standards kennedy told a water purifying system is the only one in the kibera slum. The water come from the. Wall is powered to the ro water tank our side. Comes in to be now to be treated so now the water is no. And then we pump it now to the big time from here the water is then distributed so these are clean water on a. Test good. Sometimes i feel because well treated water kennedy truly inboard is the spirit of the saying what is life he and his employees i helping their beloved Community One drop at a time. So thats the solution to tell give them a chance to undermine illegally well maybe its not always that simple but kibera is setting a good example dont you think were coming out to the last report of our show and were heading to south africa in kent town a young and a printer is filling a gap in his community with a simple but generous business idea of bike delivery savvy so guys out on the saddle and lets go far right. Young guys in blue overalls whos into the streets of long in recent weeks the residents of the cape town suburb have gotten used to decide.
