And you are immature and now that conflict has been going on for some yes now what impacts called this leaves us tragedy how of on the ongoing conflict. This drive is a house. To put the crisis because for dawson the government site the government has said it well when i was equal for didnt we got an official said youre going to be a crackdown like in seventys and from the experience you know whenever theres a crackdown its not just good separatists he also upsets the local people because there is curfew there is anyone who suspected to be a separatist county time get this same thing for cities now they want to intensify the act acts against the government because of the educated no war against it so this this if it is so that the crisis was deep in with these resent happens. Now how does this attack affect education in a region already facing security concerns in schools. Yes as you rightly said maybe for the past 3 years children you know not been able to go to school 3 according to the United Nations most of the schools in the abaco regions have been shut down because of the separatist movement here and now with the recent attacks in cuba we spoke to one of the dawson parents source who told us that we are not comfortable sending to school this year after years it is for the very 1st time frame so as to it was almost time for them to send back to school so that you dont know if he will in this attack i was transferred to his home not going to school because of the insecurity no good well im more free to send your kids to school because there is this year what happened will happen. Unfortunately its blase young did of your correspondent in cameroon thank you so mali canadian peace activists a lot of the man has been awarded the prestigious 2020 german africa prize a foreign minister called effect on the way the inspiring and deeply human recipient a man is known among other things for her work in helping child so just reflect hymns of a common the trauma she moved to come about as a child would tend to have homeland in her early twentys to try to help resolve the conflict in the country to get out with a mother she needs the peace and Human Rights Foundation in mogadishu. And watto man joins us now hello in a wild welcome to d. W. News africa and congratulations on winning the german africa prize what does this mean to you. Thank you very much for having me when the award is incredible honor and it means a lot its an honor to be recognized for the work that my colleagues and i at the un peace center are working for a single day to be supported and to be recognized but it also means a lot for putting young somalis on the map again for a positive representation. A. Positive representation a bit later on but now tell us a bit more about what you want to achieve most with your work peace and human rights issues while at the core of it our aim is to create solutions to ending the conflict in somalia and we know that we can do that through only Service Delivery but we need to have a multipronged approach and thats what the work of amman pieces its Service Delivery to make sure that people that have been affected by the war in the conflict can have access to basic human rights and services its advocacy and social norms work and educating the community and its also working with the government to prevent these heinous attacks from happening again. Now. For reminding you of your pain but your father was killed and your sister was murdered in somalia there are constant attacks in the country by extremist groups but youre still there helping others deal with the trauma what inspires you to keep going. I think my motivations to keep going are the same as millions of other somalis around the world we are constantly waiting for the conflict to and work waiting for the situation to get better and. The role that i have taken on that my family has taken on is to be part of the solution and not to any longer and the best way to honor all that weve lost all the people that weve lost is to continue to live in service and purpose. Well youre definitely doing a great job now here is one thing i noticed when you received the award you said somalia is more than ruins and bullets what did you mean by that well although weve been conflict for 30 years we can be defined by the conflict theres so much more that happens there an entire generation is only ever known war but in that period theres also been significant invasion that happened theres development theres investment that happened from the diaspora we need to also recognize those things and if we focus too much on all that has been lost in the war its very hard to look forward more positive face so one of my personal missions also is to change the image that people have of somalia and the somali youth the overwhelming majority and thats important because that also has a deep impact on how Foreign Policy is engaged on how humanitarian interventions are designed and if we dont have more than just a conflict based on entire people then limits the opportunities. Now theres definitely a lot of africans that youngest personally woman was speired by your work what is the one advice you want to give them. That despite the challenges despite the systems and all the odds are seem to be stacked against you your voice and your dreams and your ability is valid and its needed and i think its important for women across the continent young women particularly to forge partnerships not to reinvent the wheel or try to do their own thing all the time but to create alliances because only then we can be Strong Enough to challenge the status quo together. Ill tell you what i have definitely been inspired by those words while the somali activist when the german africa prize to its weve seen many thousands for sharing your time with us thank you very much. Well thats it for now be sure to check out some of the stories on d. W. Dot com africa all you can also visit our facebook on twitter pages inspired for now but definitely see you soon.

But countdown is on to the u. S. Election and american writers against trump are warning against what they see as the decline off democracy with acclaimed authors theory host fred and paul auster 2 of the most prominent voices more on that as well as these stories coming up. The Cannes Film Festival originally scheduled for may kicked off in much reduced form on the code as 0 for a 3 day edition with pandemic restrictions and with little space in london increasingly scarce and pricey dont move improve is the new motto as architects search for Creative Space saving Solutions Welcome to the show well its only 6 days away the 2020 u. S. Election which from both domestic and geo political perspectives is widely believed to be a watershed moment for the deeply divided United States of america which is why multiple groups of artists and creatives have been using their voices and their art to inspire voters to get trump out of office. Donald trump during his 1st Election Campaign even back then few well known artists and intellectuals supported him that hasnt changed but 4 years on now that people know what to expect warnings about reelecting trumpets president have grown. All star in series one of the most famous literary couples in the us theyve been married for nearly 40 years each time one of them writes a new book the other is its 1st reader and critic. Both of them believe trumps reelection would pose a threat to democracy which is why together with other authors they set up the platform writers against. During weekly online discussions and webinars they make the point that the u. S. Elections in 2020 could be the most important in a generation the pressure of living under the trumpet ministration and watching day to day their erosion of institutions that i think Many Americans thought were safe has been a shocking experience and its affected me personally i have been writing. More political essays than i ever have in my life. I have spent more time thinking about what i one person can do to counter what is happening i think we are in danger of losing the democratic republic. Of musicians sophie and her friends manage the social Media Presence of rights as against. Writers we know. They matter because. We have a choice for our future for the future of our children. From the republican party. Markers you know america. To. Vote. The vote of young people on the Progressive Side of things who are not happy with the biden ticket and of the side of not to vote i mean there are a lot of these are young people who say i dont want to contaminate myself with so i i dont like any of it well its its a dangerous position at this time to have because by not voting theyre essentially voting for what they dont want to riches trump in the republican its a fight for the soul of america i will plan to do with the spirit and responsible us intellectuals say its time to take a stand. And im joined once again by my colleague Adrian Kennedy from our culture desk welcome adrian but its not just intellectuals obviously who are speaking up against musicians and the number of singers have also been quite vocal and thats why its been a series of high profile battles between musicians who objects to trumps use of their music in his Campaign Rallies john focused see for example has issued a cease and desist letter over the use of Creedence Clearwater revival tapes fortunate son. Young find a lawsuit. In the free world saying he couldnt bear to hear it as a theme song for trump. And phil collins says objects is the use of the night which played at iowa rally just this month. Ive even heard that american actor jack black and his infamous band tenacious d. Have launched an all star cover of time warp to mobilize and voters thought thats right and i think we can take a look at. To jump to the left its just a jump to the left its just to jump to. Their hands on your head. This is what we started in the rock the vote so its a stance about getting the vote out project black actually wanted to tour in support of the democrats and the leverage to encourage twisting to the left so go figure all the boys and supporters include. Taylor swift billy irish the list obviously goes on and i mean there obviously are some artists who have have supported a 2nd round for trump thats right including 50 cent who has been complaining about. Tax rates for high earners he said he didnt want to become 20 cent but he since backtracked a bit on vance. Oscar winning actor jon voight trump posting his message on social media he said that biden was evil and finally standing up for trump kid rock he tweeted picture him self with trump on the golf course earlier and he had found a rally in michigan oh i have to say who has the most to sing about when the polls close next tuesday thank you very much adrian for bringing us that background on voters or artists against and for trump obviously Adrian Kennedy thanks very much thank you. And we can Film Festival for 2020 was dealt a massive blow when widespread european lockdowns in the spring forced its cancellation last may organizers didnt want to forgo the event entirely though and so despite rising infection numbers in france a mini festival kicked off on tuesday offering 3 days of films and a symbolic if sobering red carpet. The 73rd special edition of the Cannes Film Festival got started on tuesday evening with stars conspicuous by their absence the red carpet was rolled out none the less the more it lacks charm said one visitor its just not the same said another. But as this punter said you cant stop everything people are depressed enough. That coronavirus pandemic has left the iconic festival a shadow of its former self the opening of usually a lavish affair but due to the government mandated curfew it was a muted event this year held at 6 in the evening visitor numbers are restricted and the audience has to abide by social distancing rules. The opening film is a french comedy set in a prison and based on a true story it stars french algerian actor to cast mad as an out of work thats a who runs a theater workshop in a prison of the troupe gets to take their staging of Samuel Becketts waiting for god oh on top outside. 56. 00 films were supposed to screen in the competition now only 4 will be shown during the 3 day festival and only one golden palm will be awarded in the short film category.

And british street artist banksy has confirmed a new piece of goofy tea on a residential street in the central english city of nottingham the piece shows a girl who are hooping with a bicycle tire and its given quite a lift to a Community Hard hit by cope with 19. Well finally the british capital is notorious for its high cost of living and many of the older flats there are not only pricey but very tight on space and so for some years the independent for a new london architecture has been calling for Creative Solutions to the problem in their annual architecture competition dont move improve seeks out the most innovative friend of fish renovation ideas. Brand new top floor living space a courtyard integrated into the house.

Flares up again over nagornokarabakh as about john to houstons i mean killing at least 21 people inshallah well go live to our correspondent on the ground. Where mark thank you so much for your company where we begin our breaking developments and here in germany where german chancellor Angela Merkel has announced a nationwide partial lockdown to help contain an ice will stay open but starting on monday Hotels Restaurants bars and Entertainment Venues will have to close up to 10000000000. 00 euros will be made available in Financial Support for businesses hit by the shutdown while the chancellor was speaking after mercy talks with the leaders of germanys originalist states the stimulus. Its good here on the 4th tempered is the issue is that the pace at which the virus is spreading is particularly high what were experiencing at the moment is an exponential increase in the numbers with a doubling times that are faster and faster. Today for example we have twice as many new infections and we had a week ago and this is the case as well with other important indicators as well for example with a very important indicator of the patients being treated in i. C. U. Use here the numbers have doubled again in the last 10 days. And the number of covert 19 patients who have to be ventilated has doubled in the last 9 days so this gives you a sense of the dynamism of the spread of this disease and what we can say is that our Health Care System at the moment is able to deal with these challenges but if the speed of infection stays at this pace then within a number of weeks we will reach the limits of the capacity to respond of our Health Care System the association of i. C. U. Physicians has drawn our attention to the dire straits that we are in at the moment and this is why it is clear that we must act i mean must act now we must act in order to prevent an acute Public Health care emergency we do not want to have this kind of emergency in our Public Health system in germany and this is why we must take measures the most important tool that we have and ive talked about this at length in order to curb the pandemic is being able to trace the contacts of every in fact a person and this most important tool is no longer available to us. Because the Public Health offices have reached. The limits of traceability that they can undertake and that means that infection chains can no longer be broken. Which means we have lost the control of the spread of this virus and this must change we noticed this is for example in various different areas of our infrastructure that more and more people are infected and we know that its not just. Exceeding the limits of our Public Health care system but the entire infrastructure of our country so the curve must be flattened. And the rise of new infections must be stabilized and then we must bring it down so that we can once again trace contacts and we know that when we have 50 cases in 100007 days we are able to trace contacts and that was the chancellor speaking just moments ago in a brand how do we use a Political CorrespondentThomas Sparrow who has been of course listening in to that press conference that took place thomas the most striking thing to hear the chancellor say possibly is that weve lost control and that we have the reached a point where we can say where 75 percent of the cases have come from i mean were you were you struck by that. I couldnt agree with you more later that was also the most important a sentence that i took from initial statement the fact that they have lost control the fact that they can only trace 25 percent of infections here in germany the fact that many Health Institutions are actually overwhelmed when it comes to trying to identify those infections and this is very important because for a very long time that was one of germanys competitive advantages especially in the 1st wave when it came to knowing exactly how people got infected this is no longer the case this is something that im going to stress there that she acknowledged as well and this is a particularly big problem for germany now im going to michael also stressed that because some sectors here in germany have been particularly focused on mentioning the death sector is not contributing to the rise in the number of infections and what im going to mocha was trying to say today is that dot com no longer be said they can you can say that one specific sector does or does not contribute to the rise in infections because germany simply doesnt know where all the infections come from so a very important statement there from the chancellor i would say that this is one of the key elements to understand just how serious the situation has become here in germany at this point im just wondering obviously this is what they call long down like here but ishi actually laying the ground for a general lockdown because theyre listening to her reasoning it seems like a general lockdown is inevitable. Well one of the things that im going to stress is that these initial restrictions will be will be applied for the month of november and that hof way through those restrictions on democrat on the 16 regional leaders will meet again to see how effective they have been and where exactly they have to work to either improve or limit some of those restrictions so i wouldnt say that this is now laying the groundwork for a general lockdown in fact germans are very wary of that idea over general lockdown but we can clearly say that the restrictions that have been announced today by Angela Merkel a very serious indeed because they also correspond to a very serious situation in the country weve seen record numbers of coronavirus cases in fact today we saw again another record day of coronavirus case in the 15000 and that is something that obviously has a floor of these not only federal authorities but regional authorities very worried indeed will the Business Community a push back own these new measures do you think are the too onerous for a sector thats already suffering so much and thats why the reason one of the key elements here as well was that the German Government will put aside a lot of money to actually pay some of the profits that particularly affected companies would lose because of these new restrictions in fact 75 percent of lost profits is something that the German Authorities are now viewing whether that will be enough to stop some of the critics that criticism we have to see that but for sure we can say that this is something very serious also from an Economic Perspective here in germany thomas ferro reporting in giving us some analysis on the announcement made by german chancellor Angela Merkel moments ago that a new measures will be implemented in this country to help control the spread of the current virus thank you as always. Now the corona virus has exposed inequality in many countries around the world with countless citizens unable to access Quality Health care in the eco tepic in the legal settlements near mexico City Residents are cut off from the water supply and from Proper Health care that makes washing their hands of protecting themselves against this potentially fatal virus especially difficult. A water pipe and a lifeline this filter turns rainwater into clean washing water brenda and her colleagues from an Aid Organization have installed 20 such systems in a paddock a suburb of mexico city urine is juarez can wash some of her childrens clothes and give them a bath but theres not enough water for everyone especially during the pandemic wellness a minimal deck i dont see now for one entire week we had no water they say wash your hands but then they have to give us water like. Most people here work informally without a contract thats increasingly the case across mexico and those jobs are under threat. A lot of people here live off of day jobs as soon as they work less means and their whole families suffer i mean and i mean yes and they just cant afford to stay home and do nothing. But media. With water from the roof these people can at least protect themselves a little from the coronavirus. When its right now but some of the other stories making news around the world. Australias 2nd biggest city in melbourne is celebrating the end of a long down lasting within 100. 00 days restaurants and cafes are now allowed to reopen melbourne in the state of victoria have been less successful in containing and the covert need to sections the most of australia.

As a by john has accused the media of killing at least 21 people and injuring scores more in shelling near the disputed region of nagornokarabakh i mean was denied carrying out the attack in the city of baraka it has also accused as a by john kerry sources rather of carrying out deadly attacks on civilian areas 3 separate attempts at a cease fire and so forth. I want to bring in now our correspondent yulia hans who is in azerbaijan has been covering this conflict from when it broke out yulia you have been at the side of the attack today describe to us what you found and what you saw. Weve witnessed some chaotic scenes there in barda today when we arrived a dad and severely injured had already been taken to hospital we saw quite a number of ambulances rushed past us as we approach to town now at the site of the attack or we saw several severely damaged nearly completely destroyed buildings have bought shows shop for example in a store for clothing so clearly locations where civilians would go and i spoke to one man who witnessed the attack who had been injured in the attack himself here is what he told me for stuff. Thats when the rocket hit there were explosions this is where i was standing next to my car but i didnt move an inch because i was afraid i could be hit by shrapnel are sort of the cars were burning and it was such a shock. No be able to. So i should add here that bar that the town of barga is some 20 kilometers from the frontline near nagornokarabakh it was considered to be relatively safe we have been there in the past days filming with people we have been filming with refugees who had come from other religions in azerbaijan very close to the front line who actually moved to barda to seek safety there in Emergency Shelter and what weve seen today i think shows that this conflict can as scale aid to any time and into any direction and that the fighting really has become part of peoples everyday lives not only here but also on the other side of the front line all right in the 40 seconds that we have with each other left to a serious or for the attack the claim they have used a cluster bombs are returned denies the attack i mean this is whats been plaguing this conflict from the get go is there any way for you or anyone else to verify what has independently happened verify independently what happened. Well this allegation off Cluster Munition being used here coming from azerbaijan today is a very have you won because Cluster Munition is a very deadly and devastating type of weapon and armenia has also leveled such allegations against azerbaijan over the past week so that as i john has targeted some residential areas civilian targets with Cluster Munitions for us here on the ground its very very difficult to independently verified who want to and from where exactly because this is not only a military conflict on the battlefield its also a war of information and all for a propaganda so we can only report on what we see on the ground. On. Continued coverage. And before i let you go or migranal the top story that were tracking for you this hour. German chancellor merkel has announced a partial lockdown to slowing big searching over 1900 starting on monday bars restaurants and Entertainment Venues will have to close for months the government is promising Financial Aid for business.
