Welcome to the program if youre here as military says the country has entered into a shameful. War it did not anticipate in a region that is Prime Minister met on friday said the military operation has limited objectives but there are still concerns about a possible prolonged war in the country earlier this week obvious said he had ordered the military into to agree a Northern Region that once dominated ethiopian politics he claimed it was in response to one alleged attack on the federal military combat by its ruling party that the group Peoples Liberation front teeth e. L. F. The un has expressed deep concern by the fighting and up to you and for calm. A show of strength by 2 grice special forces these soldiers loyal to the tea party which governs the checkride region the National Government accuses them of attacking an Ethiopian Army base in mcenery the regions capital saying the military response to grossly denies this calling it an excuse to attack. In the regions around. There is a massing of military forces consequently i have announced a News Conference that they are surrounding us with their forces i stated that they have decided to go to war and we should all prepared to foil it this is our proclamation. Ever since to grow i held the region and the election in september tensions have escalated with added. The Ethiopian Government did not want the election to go ahead because of the coronavirus the t. P. S. Used to be the dominant party in ethiopia but off the Prime Minister abi ahmed came to power in 2018 it split from the governing coalition clashes have been reported on to grow its border with the abhorrent region eyewitnesses have told Ethiopian Military planes have also been circling above mackellar. Going to be true for the small country has entered into a war that he did not want this war is a shameful war it does not have a point the people of 2 gras and its youth and its Security Forces should not die for this pointless war ethiopia is their country which fearing a civil war the un has called treaty escalation of tensions the bigger concern is of a wider regional conflicts. For more on the developments in ethiopia i am now joined by some all guitar journalist based in. Thanks for your time now abi has vowed more military attacks on the region against International Calls for calm easy prepared to enter into a full blown war there. Didnt you know that even the Regional Government has called for the same kind of action against the government if i would be so its a question to you and when you look at it youll be there because theyre making the same kinds of accusations but in forth but the Prime Minister seems to be a determined in terms of. Fulfilling was he wants to do and from what we see you know as you know internet influence are no longer in service i mean suspended so we dont know but it seems like he has agreed to be prepared to go it all over to Great Britain and the leadership of that. So he asked what the whats difficult to understand that degree states used to be a part of obvious government so how are both sides now at war you know the president of the great rigid run for Prime Minister and. Against abby and he lost and since then the relationship has gone down if you have to understand that the p. P. L. It was in government for the last 27 years before i mean came to our own so even people that were present at the 2 great region in parliament theyve resigned many of them and how they left for today and what some of the most influential people we all know who are looking out for you know us ministers have all into sigurd so its been about in for the accusations you know you dont be wakes up one night and like uses the other side and say thank you so its its been about in force for the last 3 years and i mean everybody understood that something was about to happen for the last few years there has. To be an end in leadership and to go to meeting very schottky stations against each other and they were talking to each other yeah shit yeah now now this Prime Minister. Go into war thats not sound like the same man who lost their won the Nobel Peace Prize what has changed. You know. For people there are 2 sorts of people who just try and be to that and. Be tried for the last few years trying to bring peace not just in ethiopia but if youve been in south sudan with different functions and even bringing peace in eritrea that actually what we were not going to be surprise and youve been in somalia and kenya and everywhere i mean when the when there was a dispute between kenya and somalia it was. We didnt negotiate a peaceful coexistence that we see today but the people that criticize are you already see that he grew up in a military lifestyle for a long long time he was going to eat she joined the Ethiopian Army when he was a teenager so it was people say the people that you know criticize him today he keeps saying that he really does not believe in peace he really believes that war is the only option to come to a conclusion or to come to fulfill the mission of every government now that there are 2 sects all kinds of sides ok and now he has been intervening and add up people situations trying to bring about peace but who could mediate in this particular crisis briefly. I mean. You know its the kind of city of the continent its where the African Union has been for the longest time for more than half a century so as you can union she love her all the e. U. Has only seen alongside with the ambition of ethiopia in terms of Development Title aid and so on you can see. I mean if biden becomes the next president and the United States thats also an option i mean the government has said you know very pointed. To be having disagreements with the trumpet ministration since. Almost indorse egypt to potentially bomb their biggest Infrastructure Projects in the country which is their innocence down by didnt insist there is a role here for them to play better i mean its a work in progress but internet forums have always been done so its harder to get you know comparison stories on the ground ok some will get the true journalist based in ethiopia thanks for your insights.

Wow you may have heard of berlins fancy new airport the one that took 9 extra years and billions of extra euros to open well plenty of berliners dont even want it why because they love the citys other airport to go and its main terminal where passengers only take a few steps from curbside to check in to boarding taiko isnt just efficient its also an icon of the cold war era but this weekend its finally set to close for good airports architects want to say goodbye. Might hard for air con and folks in mark have come to say goodbye to their airport brylin table before it closes down for good they wanted to take a walk down memory lane. Puzzle piece through all those wikia they would use a full budget to stick to stop because of their luggage carts suitcases wheels came later the carts were allowed so we scrapped the original full boards i replaced them but the cheapest material was missing. They designed every single detail in this terminal from the buildings shape to the interior styling and even the indoor and outdoor signs take all airport wasnt just a run of the mill project for these famous german architects it was their 1st Big Commission after getting their College Degrees in 1966 their design won the competition for the new airport in the divided city of berlin. At that point in time teagle was just an airfield it was originally a takeoff and landing runway used for air lift planes bringing goods to the landlocked city of west berlin after the 2nd world war then it was repurposed in 1974 the new airport opened a verified for over 2000 people. It was a pair of glasses like the hes a little late so the Opening Ceremony took place. That the west berlin may file should. Call should he or she got these glasses as a key table became the prototype of the short distance airport optimizing the space between arrival and departure gates it was popular with berliners and tourists the airport was the point of arrival for prominent guests it was the stage where emotional moments took place like the return of the german soccer world champions in 2014 but the airport became out of touch with modern needs it was Old Fashioned and too small for a booming capital city after german reunification it was necessary to build a new airport and close down taking. If this is up now its time to say goodbye not without a touch of melancholy because this building documents a time when our job was all about peoples needs time when customer was king. To do. I call it bliss the whole right here for more melissa strikes me as a kind of weird moment for the city this is this moment thats decades in the making when one airport closes another one opens hardly anyones flying theres very little fanfare yet the be the new the really opened with the wind the bare airport boss said this was nothing to celebrate after this years long delay the engineer said that they were ashamed so it just seems like Somebody Just opened the door one way one day home i was a day a week ago and just let people know the main architect of the new airport is actually the same one we just saw of the old airport mine of mine had fun dark on one of his big things that he hates airport shopping yeah yeah thats was that was one of the great things about the intake though is that it wasnt about shopping it wasnt about entering into this huge mold filled with juicy free goods it wasnt about restaurants it wasnt about any of that stuff it was about flying flying flying one of the extraordinary things that you mentioned early on was the short distance between getting dropped off in a taxi and actually getting into the plane it really was just a few may to get off and then you just where the planes it was just just behind the woman behind you know just behind the counter with who was sitting was where the plane once that actually my understanding of it is that he didnt want shopping in the near airport he made a plan with very little shopping and they tried to cram it in at the last minute and that led to all these other problems. That led to some of the delays there we saw a lot of people do have a lot of affection for take airport because back to the cold war yeah because because west berlin was an island inside east germany and to avoid these transit roads the only way to avoid these transit roads was to fly in and out of port so a lot of these west berliners really hold that close to their hearts i mean those also i mean it was also very believing wasnt it was very gritty and it was really right yeah it was a beautiful to look at from the ground i dont think but i think once you go into the plane to apply and you were flying in or you were flying out it really was impressive you got to see all these lovely the use of these hexagon forms i wasnt sure if it was sort of or it was an acquired taste but one that i think we all came through preshared after we landed there a few different times anything planned for the farewell not that much planned for the failed well the building 5 Department Going to say goodbye with the ceremonial water oche moment there are people sort of still watching appliance watching planes going in and ask and theres not really that much plans of space is going to be used as an open quarter for of the 5000 people 5000 departments and space for more than 10000 people so certainly got big plans and so we can you know we can certainly use those apartments but its a very quiet goodbye to a place with a lot of history melissa thanks for coming on the show.
