All time we used to do a lot of growing up but now it has phased out and the idea for this is to be able to be kids coming generation on some of the things that as a people we have left behind in some of the things that. She because i think ruins of foreign culture so the idea is to go back and take some of these things theyll be practicing while were doing and make sure its with the new and coming things on the western world and create something that fits so its follows a number of characters and their. Everyday life. In the neighborhood is whats going to help since the. Younger generation people about some of the some of the challenges like education sanitation. Cultural music. Hall it even gets that we had as a people are you feeling that 3 d. On a mission you using is somehow becoming a very Good Platform to use to educate people when you create practice in the piece and with that you get you can have the if you dont to do anything what do we do you hold me in gives and you know that seems to be thats a very expressive so thats why i was on who with and you also use your platform to educate people on the virus from them a card about go this bundle a guy did some pieces when. Were in this clear enough period people can walk and get. Hours this is that they will create this thing that its total funny but then its also a serious issue so i took them all the. Way we did. On how they will look like in the deal with to come out of the fun deadly so before the way i have been doing all that after the final debate they had. So i did. That was something they did and we also had some opportunity to news on for so when they did kids. And would be able to do this from our homes we didnt we i said in their limits that this lot of people would not feel like a Creative Industry is not one to get into of course its very risky and all of thats what you see you today. Many Young Africans who think because no make it through a Creative Industry like this one called mention the sense of them of the creative. Now where no one could really need to be a new mason and. Somehow we found a weed. This is an area where budding then people had this idea that you couldnt do much but recently this almighty debt just call in of Something Like the people i think of what is this i mean i feel like its one of those it is there you can get some months and you probably does be doing it in the comfort of your home ok bad. 3 d. Animator thanks for your time they deserve it and. Now while some are working how to positively impact peoples lives others are doing quite steal has it so Africa States run real ways the passenger really agency of south africa or process has been grinding to a halt its been the victim of intent all corruption on external stealing the us nots in coal pocky polls from the real network and selling develop all metal respondents in chris in pretoria as well. Waiting for a suburban rail train after work a lot of commuters and for a tory are getting rather used to that on this road there are only 4 trains in the morning and 2 in the afternoon and the reason for that you can see it over here people have stolen the copper cables thats why at the moment only Diesel Locomotives can operate here. And the Stage Railway line process has to rent those locomotives which comes at a high price up to 2000 euros per locomotives per day process only locomotives comms be used because most of them are run on electricity which would normally come from the cables which are now. Theres a problem of unemployment in the country generally that has been made worse by covert 19 and people see some of the things that they can steal and say as an opportunity for them you know to put food on the table 90 percent of the people that are on cases of london is a man theft. People who are not South African nationals right and. Information is that. Taken out of the country of. The country and then shipped off to asia but self is also partly to blame as is the corruption that has been going on for years the mass theft of copper began after Security Service companies were lets go because their contracts had been illegally awards as in many state run and the prices in south africa some of the elite in the country have also helped themselves to process despite that the Company Still has about a 1000000000 euros to draw from according to his spokesperson and that would be enough to fix things the cool thing is that money is there we just have to build capacity intently so that we are able to spend that much that means a system of checks and balances so that the my. He wont be siphoned off or illegal contracts wont be mates yet those still suffering are the commuters themselves and pretoria would take the train because its the cheapest mode of transport for that before the train was nice but the only problem is. This the most. Maybe. 15 minutes i think because. The people. At this the ship he will. Never know about. The theft of cable its really hit us hard only a few trains are running and they are constantly too late hopefully someone replaced the cable so that things will be back to normal again with the water but with that. Process has now hired 3000 security personnel theres not much left to steal. And thats it for now on the program if you want to check out small just go to. Africa.

Welcome to arts and culture the roofs are alive with the sound of alpine forms. A new socially distanced musical work fills an entire City District that concert coming up and. Channeling janis joplin a preview of the way this dance works also socially distanced by choreographer gaga. Or 1st a picture they say is worth a 1000 words but how many of those words our lives one of germanys most successful photo artists told us holds reconfigures photos he finds in order to reveal manipulation and a new exhibition holds turns its focus to some of the biggest lies of the 20th century propaganda from chairman maos china. 8 thomas wolfe new exhibition 10 at the k. 20 museum in descent off for inspiration both went back to propaganda photos from 1950 s. China. Im always interested in photography that laws and the use truly do thats what they were designed to do. Took the pictures from old magazines copied them and blew them up photos of a utopia that never existed but for both still relevant today. I hope these pictures are a commentary on our times as well on frank news or on top of the images of false reality is true true more stuff. Com and of course reproductions clearly see the grid from the offset printing used to make the original images and hes amplified the pixelation of his own digital copy dad by emphasizing how the camera lines. In his press plus plus series also part of the exhibit cliff takes press photos and prints the info from the back of the photo on the front. In doing so he creates a montage is that comment on how every image we see has been manipulated. From we are incredibly influenced by images and these images can be used to manipulate us. Sometimes the wrong image is for with the wrong text we believe strongly in the visual image but we should be very very careful of more guns guns for 6. Exhibition runs through. February 7th 2021 at the cape and just sent off. My colleague Scott Roxburgh is here with me and has a real on manipulated form i think as far as you know its obviously more about scott thomas wolfe is part of whats called the Dusseldorf School now for people who dont know what the Dusseldorf School is what is it why is it so important yet the do sort of school was set up its from the the 1980 s. It was at the arctic cademy and it was group of students. Following the professors band and back who were photography professors and what they were doing at the time is they were going against a sort of experimental photography at the time and they still developed a real minimalist style that shot a lot of industrial sites and they would often pick a single theme like a water towers and then they would shoot endless photos almost identically shot in identical banner and this style had a huge influence i mean there were dozens of really world famous bars that came out of this under as good as he could be to haul for Thomas Thomas ruth and on and on and on and when i think unites them theyve all done different types of work but i think we need some is they all look at photos as made objects out so a photo isnt something you capture you cannot capture in reality its something deliberately construct you deliberately make it like like a piece of art and the influence of the schools been tremendous i mean some people say its the most influential art movement of germany since bauhaus and that it really helped elevate photography to be respected at the level of art you know akin to painting ok im talking about photography the image manipulation coming back to thomas wolfe we are living in an era of image manipulation and everywhere we look implications are of course she do you think. Our work can help us understand i think so because i think he really should have a sausage is made like he shows exactly how he manipulates. Photos and i think that helps understanding that the photos are being manipulated all the time i mean in this new exhibit he does have some images where he takes old photos and doesnt show he originally meant he shows us the negative of it so that the the colors are reversed you cant quite see whats happening with what the people are and makes you question what im actually seeing here whats real whats not but also i mean his his holy Interest Groups also of the do stuff school he does something a bit different but also in the same vein of this shot which is a ride to his most famous photo it looks like an ordinary landscape photo but the originally there was a big factory there that he moved just took it out he just took it out and he does now is he he takes these images and he creates them in the computer thousands of different images puts them together computer i mean crazy beautiful images but it also always gives you the message this is being manipulated dont necessarily trust what you see you know the cameras are actually always lost so it is art teaching us how to be critical of what we are getting much for coming on the show. And staying with photography french algerian photographer mohamed brewer has won the dutch of bros a photography prize worth 30000. 00 british pounds for his work on class and racial tensions the prize was awarded for works including photos of marginalise youths from the outskirts of paris and polaroids shoplifters originally taken by a shopkeeper in new york. Now the chair of the jury called brewery so his works are potent examination of the mechanics of power and their effect on disenfranchised communities. Income neighborhood in Dresden Germany became the stage for what has to be one of the most impressive. Concerts yet the sound of 16 al corns 9 trumpets and 4 tuba filled the district with a new piece of music designed to be played from across different apartment towers now the composer even built delays in the music to compensate for the sound lag between the towers. The sound of Snowy Mountain tops but these alpine horns a ringing out from the tops of tower blocks in the poilus neighborhood in the east in german city of justin. The idea for a rooftop concert came to the director of the. Over a year ago while he was walking past the 700 story high rise as. I noticed the great similarity to a mountainous landscape with steep canyons inviting the buildings. And i had the idea that musicians could stand on the rooftops and communicate with one another as it were one who has so. Much to his surprise the local housing officer he agreed. Sells took place at a different location to ensure the concert was a complete surprise. As a professional musician the alpine horn is one of her favorite instruments. As intertie from me telling out its 3 and a half metres long and its made of wood. All the instruments can be that long to charm bones for example on the hives but one thats made of wood is really very special the wood makes the vibration unusual. To their lives. The performance began. Ground level the orchestra and its directs that were keen to draw in the locals as much as possible. Livens up the neighborhood. Its a sort of mini called sir sounds granges lol im a music fan anyway and i like seeing new ideas Outdoor Events all performances that involve residence. The highlight of the day was the rooftop performance at sundown of the peace skies above paulus which was specially composed for the event. But im really happy and with the sunsets and the lovely lights its been wonderful. And judging by the responding applause the locals agreed the orchestra is now planning a series of rooftop concerts in cities across europe. Well thats one way to keep making music through a pandemic social distancing is also a big right now in the dance world which is seeing more solos than ever choreographer marco even jokes hell soon be choreographing over the phone but hes not there quite yet. Some of the time and the living is easy it gets hot in this old machine shop thats been repurposed as a studio by Big Dance Company these days because of coronavirus restrictions choreography. Has to stay outside only a few people are allowed in the rehearsal space but despite the unusual circumstances everyone is happy to be working again and dances dont expect things to be easy at the best of times. Its all a battle against the versity it has been for 20 years of. War. The ensemble is rehearsing for the upcoming premiere of the lead in c. Gershwin do you love gershwin that will take place in chuck got in early october before going on tour in germany and italy an evening with George Gershwin a composer of whom it was once said he wrote rhythms for Fred Astaires feet a perfect fit for the dance and span. But however familiar the music is whether its summertime sun by janis joplin all that jazz influenced rhapsody in blue it takes on a new character when its used as a backdrop for mark his choreography. And dance you have to cite risks darts is often too polished too cozy its tedious i see that with the young choreographers and i always thought you need to make room for a bit of craziness in dance. And bits in bonds and oftentimes last. Evening features just one had to do its only a lounge despite the restrictions because the dancers live together anyway. After months of lock down the dancers a thrill to be back doing what they love most social distancing or not. Even marco whose work tends to be dark sinister absurdist is sounding unusually cheerful. Yet these days the attitude is come on life isnt that difficult its a gift of being able to do this. At a time when performances remain few and far between and new peace democracy does indeed feel like a gift.

We celebrate the 30th anniversary is for unification october 3rd d. W. This is the the years line from brian lehrer historic day for israels President Trump the house israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu and the Foreign Ministers of preying on the United Arab Emirates they signed documents normalize relations between israel and the 2 arab states also on the Program Germany says it will take more than 1500. 00 of the more migrants us after a devastating fire at europes largest refugee camp but some politicians believe should do full. Time president critical thats very close a message from the hospital in his 1st Public Comment since his poisoning last month the russian Opposition Leader is pictured sitting up with his family and says hes putting things on a case of. Welcome to the Program Donald Trump says its the dawn of a new middle east in the past hour hes hosted a ceremony at the white house marc. We normalized relations between 2 go states and israel the Foreign Ministers of the United Arab Emirates and bahrain joined president trumka and israeli Prime MinisterBinyamin Netanyahu to sun the full document agreeing to stuff which diplomatic relations its the 1st time that we want to a century that israel has to stop its ties with our state President Trump expressed hope that other countries would soon follow. Lets go to washington and join did there because poland be could. Be so this still has been described historic what did the various heads of state and Foreign Ministers have to say well they certainly had a lot of praise for each other for coming together in this in story moment and signing these agreements we heard from donald trump who called it the dawn of a new middle east and Benjamin Netanyahu the israeli Prime Minister refer to it as a pivot of history and so certainly theyre placing great emphasis on the fact that after decades of contentious relationships or perhaps under the table strong relationships that this is now coming out into the open and formalizing the relationships between these countries and certainly a historic moment to see these 4 officials sitting together with their respective flags flattering behind them israel signed a document with the u. A. E. Another with bahrain and all the parties including the u. S. Signed the Abraham Accords what were seeing here is a shift in position to gulf states now recognizing israel even though the position that has long been throughout the arab world that they would not do so until Palestinian Statehood was achieved and we also heard from the Iraqi Foreign minister and when he spoke he said his countrys deal will help the Palestinian People in their negotiations but critics will be quick to point out that that is not the case well lets take a listen to Benjamin Netanyahu speaking this saturday in the last hour or so this is a pivot this true. It heralds a new dawn of peace for thousands of years the jewish people have prayed for peace for decades the jewish state has prayed for peace and this is why today we are filled. With such profound gratitude i am grateful to you President Trump for your decisive leadership you have unequivocally stood by israel side you have boldly confronted the tyrants of terror on you proposed a realistic vision for peace between israel and the palestinians and you have successfully brokered the story of peace that we are signing today a peace that has broad support in israel in america in the middle east indeed in the entire world and spending netanyahu must go back to africa have a son so these documents are now signed abbi what happens next. While right now theyre still in the can graduate still the tory phase as we heard Benyamin Netanyahu there talking about the fact that again its a pivot in history he also mentioned iran and we must point out that that is certainly a commonality between israel and the u. A. E. And that when they look across the gulf and they see iran they dont just see a persian nation they see a threat in their region and so certainly theyre looking to build a Stronger Alliance there i do want to mention that with regard to whats in those documents that they signed there isnt a lot of information right now beyond the economic factors that have gone into it what we do know is that theyre looking to amp up trade and tourism just a couple of weeks ago we saw that 1st flight leave tel aviv and had to aba dobbys certainly a historic moment and they want to build on that and for them rashis for their part are certainly looking to amp up their military capabilities and there are reports that the americans have apparently agreed to help them do that with f. 35 fighters but washington has not confirmed that so certainly these are some of the aspects that are sort of floating around were not sure exactly what has been ironed out but a senior white house official did say that well find out more hobos express the arab states. Want to also relations with israel likely. That is the american hope and thats the israeli hope and trump greeted Benjamin Netanyahu earlier when he showed up at the white house reporters were firing off questions and trump said that they were in talks with 5 other arab nations to follow in the footsteps of the u. A. E. And bahrain he didnt say which 5 but again theyre hoping for a domino effect here that the u. A. E. And bahrain already had dealings with israel in the past so this is nothing new and theyre just formalizing it i do want to say that bahrain especially here is noteworthy because they have a very tight knit relationship with the saudis and experts will point out that bahrain would not have made this move they would not have come to washington now without the green light from riyadh but certainly again this arose the arab stance that they would not normalize relations with israel until Palestinian Statehood was achieved because the. Palestinian Officials Say very feel betrayed how is that going to affect negotiations for Palestinian Statehood. Well thats certainly the big question i mean we did hear right away just a few weeks ago when this original u. A. E. Document agreement rather was announced the palestinian officials were saying they felt betrayed that this was a stab in the back and certainly its you know it goes against what arab nations have been doing for decades we know that when jordan signed that agreement they had said while you know formalizing are moving forward has a lot to do with what happens to the palestinians critics will say this is going to hurt the palestinian position because israel is not feeling that pressure when theyre seeing arab nations coming towards them why would they want to reach out to the palestinians. Who have washington thank you. Now back to germany which has confirmed their plans to take in more than 1500 migrants from the greek islands 5 chance of all of shots said that they would accept 1553 people on top of the 150 unaccompanied children well they had already agreed to take on this move towards follows the 5 it destroyed the mariah migrant camp on the creek on end of last boss leaving about 12000 displaced people mostly out in the open green police say theyve detained 5 of becomes former residents in connection with the blaze. Lets get more from d. W. Political correspondent emmanuel shots welcome to my new wealth which looks like good news and talks in berlin about this have been going on since last week. Exactly and the decision was taken today by to governing coalition of conservatives and social democrats to discussions took long as opinions within the coalition were divided on the question as to how many people gemini could take in for example the d. S. P. To social democrats coleaders task areas can i have been calling on germany to take in much more than what has been agreed upon she wanted several positives to be taken and as i have no stance you stated germany will take in 1553 is island seekers has an asylum applications have already been accepted most of the familys history will children will be prioritized and will be taken in by different region states here in germany why is the migration question such a polarizing one in germany. Well you have to remember that 5 years ago there was that defining moment when i got America Sayed weekend duties meaning that germany would actually handled a strong effects of migrant that said i make a manging to some out of 2015 and to many indeed to cane a far more migrants than any other e. U. Countries but while doing so he tweeted parise and German Society reso the rise of the far right we saw the rise of racist attacks even if 60 percent off germans do you favor every day arrival of refugees in their country i mean euro Political Correspondent thank you well take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world german chancellor Angela Merkel has warned that im the semitism in germany has not gone away saying that today many in the Jewish Community still dont feel safe she was speaking at a ceremony to mark 70 years since the founding of the Central Council of jews in germany.

Jarrad raid now a global plan to protect wildlife and save disappearing species from extinction has missed all the targets it was set 10 years ago in 2010 scores of countries committed to a plan to limit the damage inflicted on the Natural World but in its latest report released on tuesday United Nations says none of the shared goals has been met and the fact of plant and animal species has been devastating. The cotton topped tamarin the white rhinoceros. Lions all endangered the situation is also a grim for many other species. The same goes for much plant life which is rapidly losing its diversity. About 1000000 species face possible extinctions amphibians mammals coral reefs are also heavily affected. There are many reasons for this the worlds population has doubled in the last 50 years increasing consumption. More and more land is required for agriculture while resources like water and forests are being depleted. And even if its to combat deforestation increase too much logging is still going on im disturbed natural areas are hard to find and then there are the effects of Climate Change all that has had its effect on wildlife. According to a recent study the numbers in monitored wildlife populations around the world have to climbed by 68 percent in the last several decades. Scientists estimate that vastly more animals species including birds and mammals would have become extinct without legally protected areas like National Parks.
