Hello im christine one. Its good to have your Company Fighting has erupted between moral clothes on me and the polish, sorry of front along a buffet, but trolled by the United Nations in this brains, an end to a ceasefire. That was nearly 3 decades old in the disputed territory. Ownership off west and sorry, but the palace already a front is demanding independence. Tensions have simmered for you is and the area the newest flashpoint in an old conflict. Crossing is a border point in the south of western sahara. It controls a highway that runs all the way from morocco to mauritania, a vital route to the rest of africa. In recent weeks, theres been reports that protesting separatists blocked off the road. Last week, the Moroccan Army posted these images to its facebook page. It says they show burning tents belonging to the police, sorry of front police arias says those targeted were not fighters, but civilian protesters. Now that conflict seems to be spreading along the buffer zone between the 2 sides. Morrocco next to the former spanish colony in 1975. But the Indigenous Police are a front began an armed resistance for independence. The war raged on until 991, when both sides signed a cease fire. They now split control of the territory. Theyre kept apart by a fortified fence built by morocco and extended since the early 1980 s. Its believed to be the longest strip of land mines in the world, velo, in the renewed hostilities. The moral qualms have since mobilized their forces. And the policy is also rallying its fighters and calling for volunteers. And im now joined by jose, and tanya is a, is a journalist who does have a day at the region extensively and visited the policy area controlled areas. , welcome to day w. News africa jose. So there are reports that both sides have begun a Mass Mobilization and that the fighting is escalating. What are you hearing from, from your sources on the ground . Well, as you know, in any conflict, we had a lot of progress and a bad world in iraq and in police, all your sources say, you know, saying wait is the who are these back. Even if these, the supposedly didnt want to reach least point, there are some fires now between both armies even if they are not very big. This moment in both also seems that once the u. N. Mission in this region, you know, leaves the place, the conflict, well reach a higher level in the house. They also just does this explain that it was one of my christmas. It was the end of the about that even mission. And youre now implying that that u. N. Mission could leave just explain that for us. Yet as you know, there since 1991 and the u. N. Mission universal has been there in the place in both today with their 2nd and their control of miracle. And also the sad and we played the place under control of police earlier in the mission is to keep peace and to organize a referendum following the u. N. Resolutions. But the police are, you of miracle is trying to keep the u. N. People on the field. But if there were heaps in the time and it, it seems, its what its going to least for all time the u. N. People, we have to leave the place both in their place when trouble under control of miracle and also under control of police. Are you in both forces from both sides, agree that the conflict will go hiker in craig, and call your once the u. N. People that you mentioned, you know, still leaves the house a cease fire has been in place now for 29th. Why has it now seemingly collapsed well, there around 2 weeks ago, a group of sea billions sahara we civilians went to the south of western saddle in the war there between moree taney and mr. Sattar. In the luck route. An important route in terms of trade, connecting western, sat under control of miracle in mauritania. These group of syrians were fired from this place because the morricone government sent the army to replace an we so there are some images. So in that, the American Army opened fire, not against people, but there was a fire, there was fire, there was with their weapons and the police in their place are you will be responsible. And this student, these movement have broken the peace agreement, reached in 1991. And they declare they have broken it, they say that there is a really nice look at these broken. So they were nice back again since then we see the right a Small Movement in and fire. You didnt notice we have a few more seconds. They have to add jose and jim, what is there a sense that this could be solved diplomatically . Somehow you were talking about the fact that it could escalate, especially if the u. N. Mission, whats it being recreate it . Well, we dont know. It depends on the u. N. It also depends on spain and mostly on the members of the security council, and mostly france, which is a main ally of morocco in the un in the security council. But its important to know that since the beginning of 21000. 00 the last year there is no, we dont have any special envoy from the u. N. We still there, but there is no one in charge of the mission. So these are the magic waiting rooms to reply. And quite finished. Ok, thats jose antonio about his death. Thank you for your insights. Thank you. Our next story is in rwanda with fondness, can no longer rely on rain to grow their crops. Increasing changes in rain passes have forced most farmers to use field pabst to irrigate their farms. Now that of course, causes carbon emissions. A group of young london scientists said to take advantage is, have devised a solar powered Irrigation Technology to replace the field based irrigation pumps. We that corn husks arent uncommon in ground are these days because drought has lasted months. And the increasingly extreme weather threatens the libel hoods of locals, hamas specially those in the eastern part of the country for not quoting him, could be attributed. Its apparent that Climate Change is real and increasingly dangerous. The farming season is that people are used to a not longer predictable at times. It trains will one expected drought well brought instead of rain and its confusing. You cant just farm and have hope over having harvest and what it will bring issue. And when you arent a couple you eat is one family who has been fortunate during these hard times have filled me a river. So shes been able to palm sufficient water to her crops, but they do so needed to pad their pants is expensive and the exhaust that is a need to sounds out contributes to a greenhouse effect. I know rhonda is increasing its reliance on solar power over the researchers and Technology Experts from a random start up developed a solar powered irrigation system thinking they had to project was financed by a us Aid Organisation and they run the government. They knew irrigation plant came at just the right time for 40 families from authorities in the district that god made agricultural more difficult. And the cost of renting the diesel pumps nearly consumed on his face with his reason was a 2 day science. And we ended up spending much of what awnings on buying still while using the fuel pump into narrators ira with those little left for our livelihood. Now, we have gotten great of all those expenses. We only need to replace someone to water the plugs british the kurdish just due to the more affordable litigation promise cannot attend a larger areas of land and keep farming. They used a much higher as a result of what i did call a hole. I was only have a 650 kilograms of beans in 2 bags of saga. It seems on. Now, with solar irrigation, the yield volume has multiplied by 3 when i am considering expanding my farming, even though not when, i mean, if a town that solar powered irrigation system should be up and running in all of the Party Districts in the country by the end over 2021, an official from the Agriculture Ministry sees that rhonda hopes to have a climate neutral economy by 2050 in his role for the country as i booked it disallows system. And they get through this solar system. Because off for cheaper, in terms of for energy cost option and secondly, it, yeah, they claim it smart Climate Smart also means a more plentiful way of managing water. One of the arts most valuable resources, this touch up that builds the solar irrigation system, has also developed a system to measure the temperature and moisture of the site. Sensors calculate the exact amount of water needed by the plants. Farmers, ive been notified by and up about when and how much they should water, their crops, the plants need to get the optimum of what they need. Thats what we believe when they use this technology to improve their production. And it does been tested to be a success in the play, which has robin doing these pilot system is powered by solar energy, a swell. Now the farmers know exactly which plants need water and how my for the time being, they improvising with plastic bottles, which will soon be replaced by what a horses local solutions will challenge as i love to see it. That is it for now be sure to check out our one of the stories on forward slash africa.

If youre hearing what were hearing, find out more about the nothing can stop this month. This isnt anything. But this is getting ready for a, taste of small x. , the new 5 part series of films from oscar winning director Steve Mcqueen. Coming out this week more in a minute. Also today in our series on exiles living here in berlin, we meet the belorussian fears of directors meets a chart called supporting the current protests in better rows from afar. And dancing with a difference, a rather unique french dance troupe called gone viral on social media. The british british director Steve Mcqueen has already secured his place in movie history, being the 1st black director to win a best picture. Oscar for 12 years, a slave. That film was set in 19th century america. Now hes turned his attention closer to home. Small acts is a series of 5 films about the history. Indeed, the struggle of black people in britain between the 1960 s. And 980 s. , Steve Mcqueen returned to the sounds and sense of his london childhood for his 5 film anthology, small acts true stories of resistance, protest and celebration from the black caribbean experience of the 1960 s. , seventys and eightys the oscar winner mcqueen. This is his 1st british production and his most personal for the series produced by the b. B. C. And amazon mcqueen cast, some of britains biggest stars to teeter right, famous from black panther, place one of the mangrove, 9 black activists put on trial in 1970 for daring to speak out against systemic racism, plays against the police. Then maybe its a group that they have been the victim of injustice. There are others who like parasites, feed all of these buildings, and seek to turn them to their own revolt, deliberately create and by these defendants are all guilty of the serious criminal offense activist. Instead i want to stop john, boy. Yeah, good place, leave. Royal oak and of real life Police Officer who trying to change and price the system from within small acts tells the cotton stories of britains black history in order to eliminate the injustices of today are those. Joining me is of course g w, film expert scott roxboro, 1st of all the title, small acts. What does that mean . Yeah, we heard a little bit of the music at the very end, which, which is from the bob marley song and the bob marley. Song quotes, old jamaican proverb which goes along the lines of, if you are the big tree, we are the small acts that will cut you down. So its about, its a metaphor for a collective struggle, which is basically what this whole series of films is about, which is really taken from real life stories about being black in britain between the sixtys and eightys. And its all about resistance, really resistance to racism, institutional racism in britain and very personal for mcqueen because this is the community he grew up in. Is that . Yeah, it is. I mean this is probably his most i think is most autobiographical and personal work. I mean, you mentioned some of his, some of his was work. I mean, all his other work is actually in a long way from home. I mean, his very 1st film was hunger, which is about the irate hunger strikes, starring Michael Michael fassbender. And then his, the other films won an oscar for, of course, 12 years. A slave. As you said, 1900 centuries, america, slavery in 1000 in century america. Even his very last film called widows was a heist movie, an all female heist movie. That was set in chicago. Is also, a long way from all of this film of the series of films, a small x. , the 1st time that Steve Mcqueen has looked at his, his own neighborhood, really the, the sort of west Indian Community that he grew up in, in london. And its a very ambitious series of films and 5 full length movies, but he really knocks it out the park. And i think what he does with this, if its not too much to say it, i think he puts black britons and their history back into the film history of this country. I mean, watching these films you realize how rare it is to see, see these stories on screen and even to see these faces. These kinds of faces on screen i think was incredible. And small x. Is actually going to be on the b. B. C. In the u. K. And coming out on amazon and the rest. Well, just this week, just this week is not like now youre here. I want to ask you about a young actress whos making huge waves in germany. Not really known yet outside, but shes about to sort of come to hollywood. Is she . It looks like it looks like, yeah, youre talking about how a single who the german fans will know from her film system crash, which came out last year and sort of blew everyone away. She played a character, they are sort of a young girl with no choice. They anger management issues. She won the german film award for that performance and shes 12 years old. Youngest person ever to win that shes now shes just been named the star a star to watch by the hollywood magazine variety. Shes in the next film with tom hanks, which is a western the film is called news of the world. And in that is she plays a young girl whos kidnapped by natives. And then is this found by tom hanks character . Just begin the english, which is like its useful if youre a young german actress who isnt that great in english. But it looks like an incredible performance for her, and it could be the case that she is right now, going to become a huge global star before her 13th birthday to watch scott rocks as always, a mine of information about the movies. Thank you very much. There being mass protests in every week since the elections there back in august, many people believing they were rigged in favor of the current incumbent. Alexander lukashenko, the better russian theater director, smita chop, who has been closely following events from berlin is a place of exile for the last 10 years. And hes been helping organize demonstrations here to show support for his fellow countrymen. A demonstration for a free bella ruse. But this one is in berlin. The teacher direct us music is one of the organizers hes happy to be able to express his opinion freely in germany and to send a signal to those back home. We are showing that we are not indifferent to what is happening in bella roost right now. Even in berlin, we see the situation in our homeland and what the citizens of bell are rusa doing. We are simply saying we are with you and we will help you. We support you. Hold on massive protests in belarus, have continued for months. Security forces have used brutal force against demonstrators demanding an end to the authoritarian regime in the country who left his country more than 10 years ago. He had been an active critic of the regime co organizing protests and hunger strikes and distributing leaflets. The state reacted with harassment often imprisoning him for days without giving raisins. You have to go. If i had stayed, i would probably have ended up as a professional revolutionary. I was not allowed to study and without an education, i would not have got a good job. Most likely i would have ended up in jail at some point, due to participation in protests or my views. So i had to make a decision and leave because i wanted to pursue what i enjoy most are who is currently working with colleagues on an exhibition about Civil Society in bel arose when he left his homeland. He 1st lived in poland, footlight, and moved to go. Allin, where he says, the spirit of freedom is alive. You can think and act freely a world very different from the one in bella ruse. There was a kind of break on the development of society. If you were constantly being told what to do and why, and that you have to follow the ideology imposed by the state and the whole look at schenker power apparatus. The relationship between the states in the individual is a recurring theme in charge, whose theatre work. Paranoia pig contents text from our eye of terrorist reka, mind off and asks how far political resistance can go. The performances are in berlin, but he hopes the message back home from years will be remembered. I see myself as a bridge between berlin and minsk in case something happens as a bridge between berlin and bella roots for a while. But in general, i will probably continue to plow the nashville tween the stately it and the underground. I want to stay in this name show where they know mr. Watson. Berlin has plenty of such nations in bella ruse. They are still a train. This music, this means that for the time being, he will remain in exile. Now a dont screw with a difference. The 5 french group, j m f 3 very have developed a new dance style. Its a minimalist version of socalled touching, a street dance style of immersion, the hip hop scene in the 1990 s.
