For the elected president to help us get peace back. So we can go back home safely. And hello, im christie. Munda, its good to have your company. The number off corona virus cases in africa has so paused 2000000, including 48000, deaths, africas infections and deaths make up less than 4 percent off the global total. But the World Health Organization has warned the continent is heading toward a 2nd wave off infections. Africa has not experienced covered 19 infections on the scale that experts had predicted. But the threat of a new wave has raised fears that the continent is not out of the woods. Yet. 20 countries have had coronavirus spikes in the past month. And thats for a range of reasons in most of the affected african countries, the rise in new cases is coming from workplaces and family gatherings. And of course, we know that there are several political elections coming up in a number of countries campaigns going on and gatherings as far as large is concerned. And some existing challenges have mounted pregnant women in zimbabwe now have limited access to medical workers, since many facilities are closed. Thats in a country with an already weak health care system. They used to be hospitals providing syrian sections for difficult that. But then with it now, while getting transport to get to the hospital was a problem. So what happened . Number of women was struggling to give back. And by the time in the area of the hospitals, they actually afaik, they adapting to lockdowns is not easy or affordable for many across africa. For example, not every student can do their Online Research from home. They were fired with enough. So every day, i mean the morning to go through taxes, they way fail their moment, they get class and they get access to a very have to to cover up what others have and news that a vaccine is near will be welcomed as much in africa as elsewhere, although there await largest of all challenges relating to how it was rolled out. I am now joined by professor yap. He is with epicenter africa. Thats the research arm off doctors without borders. Hes a specialist and if he did me on the cheek and public health, welcome back city to be nice, africa professes. So africa has now recorded 2000000 cases. But, but i want to point out that france and russia have just the same amount and these are individual countries. Their population size is respectively right. 150000000 in russia has 67000000 in france. This dwarfs africas 1200000000. So what is your explanation for the reason the continent seems to be doing better than lots of the wilt . They tend to find my community, and i think its important to remind ourselves what do we mean by doing beta eat in terms of number of keys . If you get into more number of death, so definitely dont number of cases. We need to, you take more and more of how and how appropriation using that different just that we have. But a number of kids we have a different creation. Do we have been mentioning that and on and on . We have a population where to me of how it is around 20 years old. Thats what we see in cameroon. In d. S. U. Many countries, which is different from what you have seen, most of the work europe or in china, it was around 60 of age. And we know what the people who are the most recent of how the c. V. R. Condition or even i think more beauties, which is not fine as much in how british ok, thats is interesting. You point that out. Because for example, in europe and in north america be the 2nd wave has been deadly. What would be the dangers of a 2nd wave in africa then . I think beyond we, in fact we also have to look at the economy. Because if we have an important thing going with youve seen pure, for example, next more first wave, you need to have an effect and concretely have to go to long term. And we know what the impact is, has been having, you know, pollution of population instead of dying from coby, they might be affected by lack of resources and some of the people in their condition where he cannot survive. Ok, perth professor said there is, there is much excitement right now about the, the efficacy of these vaccines that are being developed. But tell us about the potential challenges that we might face in distributing and administering the vaccine in africa just from your experience with the ability of a vaccine. For example. You know, during the 1st time we were using day when i felt like seen hans to be used under my it was 80 degrees and then we were using to treat countries. And it was a very big challenge. Know how to root out these vaccines. All african countries be different, you need to choose leach vaccines to our environment. So we talk about the challenge, the courtship, we were out of go for a vaccine that can be transported, i dont know my temperature, but also we lead to look if you just do 90 percent of if you can see for a vaccine for a disease that affects People Like Us when we look at how our drug is like one or 2 percent, thats not, thats not a lot. Especially if we dont know. So i think africa, it would be mall in choosing beach vaccine should walk in, should be using our population. Ok, professor yeppoon, thank you for that insight. Looking if i still will vote in president ial and legislative elections on sunday. This is a myth, is still a to extremist violence thats killed, more than 2000 people this year and displaced some 11000000 people from their homes, the incumbent rush. The burra is seeking a 2nd term and is widely expected to win or is main challenges is if in doubt break who has held several ministerial posts and was the runner up in the 2015 elections and boyle, who has been endorsed by former long serving president Blaise Campari homeboy is seen as a koreas main content, but the actions may get him if he is already being questioned, as the violence has cut off large parts of the country. Even people unable to cost ballots another day. Another early start for bernadette trying to provide for 4 children means spending most of her time here. But theres not much to sell the main fraiche stop working, so she can sell fish or rice that just doesnt work. There is no money in this country. And i cannot afford the repairs that either way, there is no guarantee shall have customers. With an upsurge of militant attacks, people are keeping together what they have their jihad, this is the poverty. This must stop. I want to take care of my children. Berta debt is one of so many in the country, trying to survive with very little hundreds of thousands. Dont even have a home displaced in their own country. They are clustered on the outskirts of the city. More than 1000000, people have fled their homes to fast for this year, due to spiraling violence. Thats twice as many as it was at the start of 2020. And these people here have little or no chance of casting their votes in the upcoming elections. But at the same time, they are the ones who most wants to believe and peace in this country. The government of incumbent president couple e says that nearly half of the countrys 13 regions have little to no access to voting. Because its unsafe. Does not want to delay the elections, but how can the winner be a true reflection of the peoples choice when hundreds of thousands of potential voters do not have the chance to participate . She says, the election itself is legitimate. The question is whether the outcome will be election will take place on sunday, november 22nd. The crisis could start on november 23rd. So if there is voter fraud, if the results are not compliant with what the people put in the ballot box. As we could have a crisis now, you dont need 2 or 4 months. All will depend on how the election will be carried out. We stop by the restaurant that was attacked by islamists in 2016, killing 30 people, both locals and foreigners. It serves as a daily reminder to everyone of the point when booking a fast or tipped into chaos, especially in the north. The Restaurant Owner decided to stay. He says, so that the jihadists cannot win. He also decided to stop talking on camera. Too much to bear for his family since that fateful day. But better now that would not hesitate to leave. Shes already had to do that in the past 2016, she left without her family to neighboring tokyo with everything. She did wrong. Things were not working out here, so i thought i would go there and see, but after a month, it did not regard either. Well, i do all of this for my children. But her husband does not earn much either from his job as an assistant in a shop. Its tough because theyre both out of the whole. I adore my children. They are a gift of god. But im too young to handle you for children. I want to see them happy, and this is haunt hard for me. Better know that, like many others will try to leave. Again for a whole long this time, its unclear what is certain. Hardly anyone here expects life to get better after the election. And that is it for now, be sure to check out the stories on forward slash africa or also on facebook and on twitter today will leave you with pictures off the campaign in tow. Next time. Im not laughing at the germans, i guess. But most end up with the german thinks deep into the german culture. Take this gram a day. Oh, you know, its all about who you know, im rachel, join me on the course to go beyond that as we take all the stories that matter what ever you do. W. Me for mines. Hello. Welcome. Lot of significant anniversaries on this edition of arts and culture. November the 20th is world childrens day and this year is also the 100th anniversary of save the children international. Also coming up, this years booker prize is awarded to 1st time author douglas for his novel shuggie bank. And it is 75 years since the nuremberg trials started. A look at the city day and whats happening to the building Still Standing there, constructed by the nazi. d every year since 959. 00 november the 20th has been world childrens day, it was created by the United Nations in conjunction with the declaration of childrens rights 1st, introduced all matt day in 159. The Global Charity save the children itself, celebrating 100 years since it was founded. As published a book featuring stories of children who grew up in war zones and were helped by save the children. The book tells 11 stories of 11 children in conflict, the 100 years of save the children. For the projects im alive and i took photos of 11 people caught up in all of whom were children in school is a free face tells its own story. God, it doesnt matter if youre in germany or cambodia or one down there being a child in conflict is always the sign. The survivors represent the key conflicts of the past century around the world. The project started with a mom of a Syrian Refugees living in a model is somalia is very important for us because she was the 1st one we photographed of another piece. It was exciting to see her transformation this me if she became more and more alive the more photos i took of her bendigo the mold was a child of world war one. Father, surely it was wonderful to work with heavy heart 106 year old ashton. He just stood there and hes changed looking like a young man when you come on i was getting the idea. The reality is everywhere. At some point has known war before i wanted to bring back that reality bring. The book shows the scots left by wars a decades past. From cambodia story is often forgotten. Biggest issue to convince you to know is how to tell the story. The 53 year old escaped the cambodian genocide and is now a human rights lawyer put in the news. What links the protagonists is that they all had a connection to save the children. And so we can show the world the biggest story of war and children in whom it was interesting taking photos of the different generations of not i need to tell their stories, but also people who was there survive to believe in a few 100 years to 10 people plus a baby born this year and a born baby regina wrote in chicago, born in a refugee camp in fact, which is the 11th child in the book and a symbol of hope for a future without children involved. And joining me is my colleague scott rock from scott, you actually had personal involvement in this book project . Yes, i was brought on much later at the very good end of it. I did some translation in this transition of the book. And yesterday there was the book launch here in berlin. And i moderated sort of the press conference, which was quite amazing because we were able to have many of the survivors connected via soon from around the world. So jose from colombia was, was on the line. And also we saw in the piece of the truth a leak from, from cambodia who survived the marriage and is now a human rights lawyer in cambodia is pretty sick of the images of striking but walked sense this project apart from i think its the idea behind it, which is that they want to show the survivors of conflict with survivors of war differently. I mean, if you look at how most, almost n. G. O. S, most people, the media, when we talk about children in war zones, we show suffering victims. So we show the devastation and then the horrors of war. And critics would say that if you only show those images of children like that in those horrible situations, that you sort of the humanize them, that theyre only defined by the suffering that theyve, theyve gone through. And the idea of this book was to show them in a different way. So if you take the images on the cover of the book amal, shes a, a refugee from syria. She lives in a refugee camp in lebanon. But look at this image. I mean, she should always be a fashion model. She looks like a beautiful confident, strong young girl, and this is how she wanted to be depicted. So the idea behind this book is to give the power back to the survivors, how they want to be depicted in so they dont to be only defined by their suffering, but also by their hopes and dreams. So theyre basically like, like all of us. But why show victims or survivors i should say from across a century of conflict, why not concentrate on children today who suffer from war . Yeah, again, the idea behind it is to have a connection. So, i mean, theres no place on the earth that hasnt seen war at some time in its history. And basically the experience of war as a child is, is universal. Its the same everywhere. So whether its amals do child who went through war in syria today or the oldest survivor in the book, which is eric carle whos now a 107 years old german man. He survived the 1st world war as a child, then the nazi era, the 2nd world war. And he, i think really says it best in the book where he says that one of the reasons hes so supportive of Syrian Refugees in germany now is because he remembers being that starving child the war when he was a child and someone helped him. So he wants to, he wants to help the people that i can see you, youre very emotional about it. Its a very emotional summer is a phenomenal book. Stay with us, scott, because we want to talk about another book. Its a booker prize time. And the winner this time its going to a 1st time author, my very astute judges, and i have chosen that standing with and that is so keeping it 20 book of prize. Sorry, im absolutely stunned. I didnt expect a whole id like to 1st of all just thank my mother. I think ive been clear that my mother is in every page of this book and without her, i wouldnt be here and my work wouldnt be here. Yes. And so thank you. Now dont go getting very excited, of course, very happy. Youre with scott just by chance. This is purely by promise. Your skull is in the middle of reaching this book. So tell us more about yeah, i bought it when it was short listed a number of weeks ago, but i didnt get around to read it until starting into it just last week. So im right in the beginning of it now. But a really amazing, amazing book. I mean its basically about childhood growing up in poverty, in glasgow, in the early eighties. So sort of the factual years. And its about a young boy who is coming of age in glasgow wall. His mother is basically coming apart, suffering severe alcoholism and a douglas who has set himself. This is very autobiographical. It really is his childhood story. His mother died of alcoholism when he was 16. And what i find interesting about the book is that its a 1st time novel, but i mean, its phenomenal. He east such a complete author, his voice is so so clear. And so present. I mean, its both very gritty and harsh as youd expect. Very raw in the language, but also times just incredibly beautiful, very, very poetic. And i was really struck by it. I mean, it tells quite emotionally powerful moments, but it doesnt help being sort of market or sentimental. I think its really phenomenal book. Im really excited to see what theyll come up with next. Ok, just briefly, the lot of booker Prize Winners books 1st of all, it makes them really internationally famous. And secondly, sounds a lot of books. And thirdly, sometimes they go to the movies. Will this wrong transfer to the Silver Screen . Yeah, it might, might. Well do. I mean youve had great, you know, list was originally a booker prize winner and various others, the english patient, booker prize winner, being great films. This film would be more difficult. Its very raw, very, very powerful, but i think ill bake it to make the mazing film if someone could pull off that combination of grit and poets. Poetry that he does in the book skull. I was always thank you very much. This week marks the 75th anniversary of the beginning of the nuremberg trials when the nazi leadership were tried for war crimes. At the end of world war 2, the city of nuremberg home to some of the largest buildings built by the nazis will for have a be associated with the darkest pages of german history. So what is happening to these buildings . A modern day . Nuremberg, which holds such painful memories. d the sweepings upland grandstand in nuremberg. It was here in these purpose built grounds that hundreds of thousands of people gathered for nazi rallies led by adolphine. In the 1930 s. Each year, some 300000 visitors come to see what remains of the nazi era constructions of these buildings, which is still here today in a way a document of the National Socialist easier. But a leaked this means that as architectural relics, they represent a visual ideal for their own that the nazi regime. A sad part of the ruins testify to a dark chapter of german history. Efforts have been made to demystify them. Visible and field has even been opened up to leisure time activities. That delicate balance between remembering the past and opening the space up for a new story. I dont know how much the stadium tribune and the sports facilities around need, renovating the pitch works very well as a Sports Facility without the grandstand. And im also concerned that if its not renovated now, it will become a kind of memorial place of pilgrimage for any i nazis. And if its renovated, then perhaps it can be better used to civilian sports purposes. Thats why my opinions divided on the part of the nazi party rallies. Complex is the unfinished congress hall. The structure is reminiscent of romes coliseum and what have hosted 50000 people. Its one of the largest preserve National Socialist buildings today is house is the Documentation Center which office visit is insight into the history of the complex. And its important for us to make the stones talk supporting. And this means explaining the history behind these buildings. So self being transparent and always insisting on never again. And as our lesson from this History Lesson and on guiding people through the story with all the information we have from a 75 years after the end of the war. Nuremberg snotty party rally ground stand as a somber reminder of germanys past. Its stones will continue to serve as a warning for future generations. Finally, an exhibition opening despite corunna of the magnificent guggenheim in bilbao, where 60 works by the russian abstract painter vastly kandinsky are on display. The actual mission is extended until next may, because of a pandemic, as right now, only build ballons come visit the museum. So lets view it from afar. I leave you with a taster of candids, get the guggenheim now for so much energy to burn fossil. This doesnt just mean transitioning to new energy. Here, it means having access to electricity. Currently, only about 5 percent of the population has this privilege a government project is seeking to change that for its people knocking for coverage and there are many answers. There are many reasons there are many alternatives to make up your own mind. G. W. Made for minds give us your country, people will make you rich people oil will provide you with jobs.
