Town restaurant that holds the world record for having the widest variety of milk shake flavors will give you the scoop on how many they have. Hello, im christine wonder. Its good to have your company. If you o. P. s Prime Minister, mate is rejecting growing International Calls for dialogue and to deadly fighting in the northern to grad region. This as a 72 hour was surrender ultimatum his government gave the t. P. O. If leadership expires, Communications Remain almost completely cut off to the to grad region, which is home to about 6000000 people. But we have a look inside the town of who made up, which bears cause off the fighting. Its not what a farming town should look like in the middle of harvest season. In ethiopia, region is largely deserted. And this is why heavy shelling hit the town. As the Ethiopian Army rule in forcing out fighters loyal to the to grab Peoples Liberation front. Most civilians fled during the clashes as their homes were peppered with bullets and shrapnel. Those who remained take stock of events we didnt expect shelling. Suddenly, we started to hear war weapons explosions. And then people panicked that much i couldnt leave my house. I was terrified not everyone walked away unscathed. These women were wounded in the crossfire and there was a thriving town before now. Many residents have since crossed the nearby border into sudan. But for whatever it was a town, it was on the verge of development. But now we have been brought back to living hand to mouth because of an unnecessary war. But as the fighting, similar to what happened in continues further east of here towards capital, where the International Community warns more civilians could be at risk. Im now joined by journalist samuel get to show he is in the ethiopian capital. Good to see you, samuel. We have just seen this report who made but there is still a blackout across the to gride region. What do we know about those civilians who are still in make what we know is very little. We focus on reports that are coming in from organizations that respected to tell us needed information by thought information because we cannot travel to there. But we know poor park that the Ethiopian Army is very close to mccully. Its in the suburbs, michaeli, and theyre heading, taking over the city. And that is the capital to go, which is that the court and the with the population of well over 500000. 00. And you have to build, if youre going to replace was not counted in 2007, might even be much higher than the people are going to continue to be affected by the conflict. And its just an overwhelmingly sided, you know, we lost count, reproduce that are going to more than 40000. There are many people that ive been unaccounted for yesterday add. There was a u. N. Security Council Meeting at this would be trade stay on the, to graduation. This also comes as International Community precious added after that to try to stop the fighting and proceed dialogue instead. What came out of that security Council Meeting . It was formed. They want to see, hear from the African Union delegation that purports to be going to come in and to start the Prime Minister so that you will be speaking to them. But there wont be room for any kinds of negotiations. Because according to the fields and government side, exhausted, all kinds of mediation and they feel tied feel they feel by governments, i still come out and so on the military power. But its very important that will force the leadership to give in and have the government get into mccully and take over of people in ethiopia. But i want to be supporting this operation. Its a track i can give to us in the open people, sympathy support the there are many people that are giving blood members of the army in the field, an army. There are many people that make donating livestock, but there are also invisible victims. People who live with families in the 3rd grade region who are not able to speak to the family, to their family members. I had a conversation with a young 125 is positive, was sick, and he was being provided basic medicine for by the seller. And all of a sudden he is not able to spend the medications to, to go. Well, there are thousands of those kinds of stories all over the country all over the summer, and theyre invisible, sabotaging edits out of the thank you. Thank you.

Is the us who continually but i was right by my stepfathers employee when we went to visit a family relative. I was young then and i remember my mother taking me to the court where i was asked to identify the perpetrator. Later on, i was shocked to see the guy released seeing the perpetrator, little lose left with a permanent one, but she kept it afraid of stigma and being something that is common in her village. I was always wary of boys after the incident. I didnt want to see any man, not even my brothers my grandma really helped me through that journey, supporting me through the process. Now years later, in an unlikely place, she has found solace in a group of women who have all experienced a similar predicament of being sexually violated. In the last 12 months, 243000000, women and girls across the world have been subjected to sexual or physical violence. But in an intimate partner in neighborhoods like these sexual and domestic, but one woman was willing to change the norm by sharing her story. One country was a victim of Sexual Violence. Shes now using her experience to remove the stigma and help survivors axis ecological and legal informal settlements across kenya. I went through a traumatic experience i was raped in the challenges that i faced during that i think is what informed their establishment of all kinds of foundation. Looking at how the Community Looks at us and was being affected, we shifted the blame to the has been instead said, oh, calling them a patriot accountable. One believes the number of women affected through domestic and Sexual Violence could be well above 5 percent. Fueled by the pandemic in very wide, to work towards something that is hard and their figures will change because also they show, maintain. Pandemic has actually created an environment where cases of increased. Now shes hoping to change the narrative. One will help these women sit a peanut back to business and the place to openly talk about their issues to turn up. When we all meet at the same time. One thing we have in common is that we were all raped or underwent violent heat when it, were paying a come. As you see about this support each others businesses.

In fact, this restaurant offers 207. 00 varieties thats a world record, and it had to be verified all at once in a process that took 5 hours and 20 minutes. As each trick or not, it was numbered. And my job was to make sure that our had the list of ingredients that each of those ingredients were in. So i could verify the those ingredients were, are good. Placing the 2 judges then tasted the truth. So how do you come up with so many options of shakes . The creators say the inspiration is all around the i want when i travel by mini bus taxi, i noticed people eating chocolates, my lunch bar one. When i realized there is a good idea here.

My colleague kennedy is here with me for more on the grammy nominations. Adrian beyonce is leading the pack. Are you surprised that surprised . Yes. 9 nominations and she extends her lead as the most nominated female artist of all time. Of course the grammy controversy with, by beyond say is how many grammys she goes on to win. She does have 24. 00 free grammys already, but she was nominated so many times in the past, so missed out 47 times. And sometimes in that big status categories, instantly husband jay z. Is now tied with legendary producer quincy jones as the most nominated male artist. But the gender gap is closing. And hes only one ahead of beyond says nomination. He has 80, she has 7, you know, so shes catching up pretty quietly down is what if i were a poor. Ok. But in general, this is really a female dominated year of nominations this major, thats right. For the 1st time ever, the female lineups in the rock performance and country album categories. And the 2nd, most nominated artist is who other than taylor swift.

Thats right. Well, the Biggest Surprise is the admission of the canadian singer, known as the week. And now you probably heard the song blinding lights. It topped the charts around the world and in the u. S. Its considered by many to be the sound of the past year.

It not stop 1600000 listeners on a popular streaming site 10 times as many as titus, which scotty getting all this is converted into 0 nominations and hes not here. Happy about that. I imagine hes not happy at all and hes tweeted about it. Think we can take a look at the watch. He said, of the grammys who remain corrupt.

A few days after the grammys and negotiations for him to perform at the grammys, became a big contentious, the grammys have to unite this. But this is been a topic in the past. The idea that if you perform at the grammys, then you are more likely to get the nominations. Wow, thats quite an allegation.

Its a lot like you when moria europes biggest refugee camp went up in flames in september, magnum photographer, and i was there to capture it, has been documenting the lives of Asylum Seekers for years as work and grease, its human faces to stories of desperation. At a time when the approaching winter and the continuing coronavirus crisis, make the situation of unsettled migrants even more precarious. Then after a few days before a new kofi 1000 lockdown took effect in return, i was out taking photos. Victoria square has become a makeshift home for many migrants who fled the fire on the island of moria. Theyve been granted Asylum Seekers status. The creases new asylum laws mean theyre left to their own devices. Theyre no longer entitled to any Government Support or shelter, making their situation even worse. Sinai has been documenting their fates for years. And he can relate to them because when he was a child, he and his family fled albania, and lived for a time without documentation in athens. The magnum photographer has made refugees and migrants the focus of his work. When fire broke out at the camp in moria, he headed there mama, i remember the exhaustion and the fear in their eyes. But i also saw hope there. Morea would finally be over and it would finally get better. Like the day after the fire, one of the girls, i photographed 12 year old money from afghanistan, organized a protest march. First, there were just 20 other children on the march will be bigger. People just wanted off the its of the photographers, a kind of anchor for some here. Also from afghanistan to see by this, muslims would be far fewer than a bomb. And when i told her that id be leaving again in a few days, she suddenly turned to me and said, before you leave, say goodbye to us. And that is, and i almost cried before you leave, say goodbye to us, is also the title of his planned photo book dedicated to the people whose living situation hes been documenting since 2015 companies. Some of them to germany and sweden and his photos also depict their arrival. And settling in it was encouraging to see that a lot of the people who had made it to that point are now standing on their own to feel that if you and that they were able to start a new, like, you have actually get in athens and return, i will keep documenting the migrants from the morea camp in their efforts to survive. He wants them to have a chance to cowboy stories of the american old west have long held a special place here in europe. Thank spaghetti western, its all those cowboy movies shot in italy. Then theres lucky luke, a comic character known as the man her shoots faster than his shadow. He 1st, appeared in belgium and the 1940, s. , and is still popular today. Over the years lucky luke spent translated into dozens of languages and appeared in movies and video games with more than 300000000 issues sold. Lucky, luke is the most successful western themed comic series ever. The books are currently illustrated by downtown. His home in Southern France isnt the wild west, but it does give him some inspiration for his comics. Using the pen name, diamond tong started drawing the comic nearly 2 decades ago. The series was created in 1946 by the belgian illustrator, maurice, and he chose ash, did it take over drawing the tales of the lonesome Crime Fighting cowboy a daunting challenge him on this in the beginning, i asked him if i could spend 6 months practicing appeared 1st i wasnt happy with my drawings. Only after id done 3 comic books did i feel confident enough to say, im the lucky luke cartoonist. Who does, you know, took a cue. Asterix creator really wrote the story starting in 1955 since his death in 1977 other it was, traders have taken over the last 3 books were written by julie and he says its important to maintain lucky lukes original charm. But he wants to tell new stories. It has to make sense and mean something. Today the lucky luke we publish has to be faithful to the tradition. But it also has to be comics they couldnt have made back that book. For one thing the new comics are more diverse. The latest edition costars, a black, cowboy, for the 1st time. Hes based on historical figures, shool, uncovered in his 4 years of research for the issue advancement. But i found out that 25 percent of cowboys were black, and that the vast majority of the others were hispanic. So the john wayne style, blond, cowboy, with blue eyes that hollywood sold us for decades is pure fiction. Thats what this comic is about it confronts racism in america, the hard tragic issues of slavery because theres still humor and action because its still lucky. Luke more socially aware, more diverse.
