Its time. No voice is part of the 77 percent. He told you this is where it was 77 percent this weekend on d w. What goes up must come down a bit. Coins value plummets out there, reaching back or times earlier in the week. Digital currencies have followed. Suit will often at 1st whats going on. Also coming up a reading has increased during the punjab make but online competition on luck, a foot full of less independent stores struggling to balance the books for weeks the blocked and front is preparing to rio, but not essential songs are 1st on the list just in time for the holiday season. This is the dumping business. Im k. Ferguson, thanks for joining me. Digital currencies are on. A rapid descent after reaching record highs over the past few days. The value of bitcoin topped 13 percent on thursday. This after gaining about 50 percent in value over the past 3 months. Other Digital Currencies followed the downward trend. So whats behind the wild fling fate of the of the offing reports . You can exchange regular money for the worlds best known digital currency. Bitcoin machines like this one here in china. One of the reasons why bitcoin is so attractive is that supply is limited. The number is kept to 21000000. The cryptocurrency has seen wild price win since it was launched in 2009. To share prices are on an upswing. The value of bitcoins has travel sincerity of this year. Its a stunning rise until now because it was mostly the preserve of private investors. But in this year of pandemic driven uncertainty, its different retail investors. And more importantly, institutions and corporations, theyre shopping for a new currency. Ok, they want to currency that gives them purchasing power to protect them in case paper currencies fall, because Central Banks have to print more and more money to help the world survive the virus and social disorder. So thats what drove the markets this year. Thursday, so prices fall, which suggests profit taking by investors. Although like so much else to do with bitcoin. Thats pure speculation. Lets get some expert analysis now from craig arlen, fien your market analyst in london. Hi craig. Good to see. Tell me, why are we seeing beef and dimes now . Well, i mean, you know, it all started really the kind of explosion hire a month ago. Links. d on the kind of the pay pal stories, etc. Nothing that really generated some interest. But i think big and all the crypt, those are just one of those. What the more you talk about it, the more its in the news, the better the price goes in, the more volatility that you see in the market. Thats one thing thats just not changed since 27. Seen it very much thrives on how youve been increasing amount of hype over the course of the last month, and its a killer, which is why weve seen these kind of extraordinary price gains. If we do see this breaking record highs and moving into the 20000. 00 average tree, then who knows how much extra it can be generated and how much fred we can go. But equally, as weve seen over the last 24 hours, this is not a one way moving instrument. They start, which goes to a price auction. And in the same way the old adage goes that it goes up the stairs and down the lift. When it comes down in the lift, when it comes to big cohen, it comes on quite aggressively. If there he doesnt play your i markets mine your thout, do you think it will currencies are a thought that investment . I think its a bit early to be talking about them as a solid investment. And the simple reason is the highly volatile. So solid investments. I think that this goal to be some stability through a notch tilson exist in the cryptocurrency space. Its a highly speculative investment. And therefore, if people are interested in making a part of the portfolio is your margin that is probably still going to be a very small pots of thoughts because of the level of volatility. That means that you can make extraordinary bit sense, but then you can take significant losses that really wouldnt see typically in any well the investment instruments. So i think people still off the bad out of mine up doesnt mean that they call on at some point because more impressive or more solid investments and a bigger part of peoples portfolios. But at this moment, its on the volatility just if you can escape the fox, that this is an instrument that can make, make 50 percent and lose 50 percent in an extraordinary period of time on. And therefore not perspective, it goes in a mine mines. Believe you can make anything more than a speculative instrument. You need an opera type for risk in london. Thank you so much for your time. Thank you. During the pond them like many people have found solace in books, Science Fiction and romance have proven especially popular. But the renewed love of reading have to translate into a sales boost for bricks and mortar stores. Online competition, a foot full half left many independent sellers struggling. Downtown washington d. C. Seems deserted. Employees of the many think tanks, banks, and International Institutions based in the u. S. Capital, are working from home before the pandemic, at least 15000 passengers took the metro. This red line to work every day. These days its just 1500. 00.

But the pandemic is now a much greater evil. Small bookstores are among the biggest losers due to the lock down. And internet giants like amazon among the biggest winners. Last quarter, the internet retail giant posted a profit of more than 6000000000. 00, the largest in the companys 26 year history.

Germany thinks deep into the german culture of looking at the stereotypes of quests, but in years think the future of the country that i now know. Im here to see ridiculous drama. There you go. Its all about new. Im rachel. Join me from the german sunday. W. Post. Why are people forced to harden trucks . There are many reasons, but there are many cancers and there are many stories to make up your made for minds. This is state of the news africa on the program today. Ethiopias military says its begun. The final phase, often offensive in the northern tip, arrives region d. W. Visited a un camp, housing refugees who fled to neighboring sudan. They say they are living in desperate conditions. I cant breast feed him, and here they dont have milk and the food the baby needs. Weve been in this conflict 3 days. We dont have any shelter. And election day is drawing close that in the Central African republic. But a crucial message hasnt reached people in the rural areas. Hello, im christine window. Its good to have your company. If you o. P. s prime minister, has ordered the army to move in on the to grind region capital, making it, the instruction comes off to his 72 hour ultimatum for to grab leaders to surrender. And it have fled into neighboring sudan where conditions are desperate. The u. N. Is warning, it is running low on essential supplies for the people who have been displaced by the conflict. Correspondent mario loyola reports from the camp, which is 80 kilometers away from the region off to grad school. The camp once housed refugees who fled if your peers famine in the 980 s. Now some 9000 people have saved themselves once again. But this time its because of war. In this hospital, people wait for hours before receiving treatment. Like ive got here, she, her baby and her father escaped the war in the town of the progun, obviously, but really i was afraid because the bombs kept falling for 3 days. We just left without money without clothes. And it took 10 days to come here. Now were here in sudan, weve been in this camp for 3 days. We dont have any shelter. Her father has terminal cancer since they got out, he hasnt received his medication. People here at dusk, but they tell us water, food and shelter are scarce. Some of them have to sleep on the ground, struggling to get enough food and medical aid. The new refugees crossing the border to sudan, worry aid groups, their representative told us, we are able to respond to a growing influx. People need everything from water, food, and shelter. So at the moment we are catering for over 9000, people. Hold me report. Thats not enough. And its children who are suffering the most. Its estimated that hard after becky g. s, our children, many of them need medical treatment like 5 months old. Hes been coughing and has had diarrhea since days. I cant breast feed him and here they dont have milk powder and the food the baby needs. Outside the hospital we meet alan, whose house was bombed, in who made up the side of reportedly some of the heaviest fighting between its European Forces and the to grain. Army, he got shot in the leg. I am alone. My mom and my dad were killed by the bombing. These clothes are my only ones. I will have them for days. Nobody helps me. I dont have enough water or food here. Nobody takes care of any link. If more refugees arrive, i am fears that the situation could get even worse. And im now joined by bob about laci is the Spokes Person off to you in refugee agency. Welcome to date any as africa have people at the camp that is a year when camp told our reporter that there is not enough food and shells have that, that people are having to sleep on the floor. We heard from a nursing mother who said that there is no formula. It just appears baba that the u. N. Aid say ours report response to this crisis is somewhat lacking. My colleagues in sudan since the photos, when the refugees started to arrive, it was a trickle fast on the 9th of november. And then we deceive 7000 the next day. So the sheer numbers of refugees arriving in sudans, remove corners, or stretch the humanitarian response. To reach more people, but the flow no has been like 3000 people per day. It has been an effort in terms of logistics in distances, trying to move. People are very from the border and just for them and provide them the necessary data need. And that still continues, but it is a huge challenge. Ok. The other thing is that the people that youre referring to, these are the people that have actually left to cry and now find themselves as a dad. Have you been able to reach people who for some reason cannot leave to cry . So the number of refugees that have arrived since the start of conflict inside sudan has crossed 14000. Even till yesterday, nearly a 1000 arrive, youre really worried for civilians inside figurine region, theres no access is an information blackout and particularly worried about civilians. But also lets not forget, there are nearly a 100000 in a tree and refugees in 4 g. Camps. And even before this conflict started, there was word 100000 internally displaced people, the 2 pins. The other, the other aspect of this is that many families have been separated by these conflicts. Can you tell us more about that . Indeed, we keep hearing heartbreaking stories of family separations mothers looking for their children, daughters and sons, wives and husbands have been separated. Many have left going in different direction. And thats the reason many of the Refugee Families that have arrived and they have members separated. They want to stay close to the Border Point One in the hope that they may seen their loved ones for us as unity are. We have been trying to move people of you from the border. So far youve been able to move at least 10000, but the number of refugees that have arrived is 43000. Thats speaks for the u. N. Refugee agency. Thank you. Thank you. The Central African republic is preparing to hold president ial and local elections, but many would be voters voting to get to have base say, even though a peace deal was signed last year. The country is still tense from fighting that broke out between christian and muslim communities. In 2014, the conflict forced a quarter of a 1000000 people out of the country and despite attempts they will not be allowed to take part in the december election. They arent the only ones. People in rural areas also largely take part. As it is a small village in power, south of neighboring chad, leaves into the small isolated village near the border. Like everyone else you have lived. This old grandmother is look ridges that take part in the upcoming elections. In order to reduce the, you have to show the authorities a National Identification card, a passport, or a birth certificate. In places like village where people do not have identification documents, the National Elections or purity allows chiefs to place to fight us to the residence of the citizens. The people in this village are completely cut off from the information and are not a will was fact. So were just here to vote. What does that mean . Here is my voter identification. Ive lived here since i was born. I dont know what a voters card or an id card is. Im too old for new things. All i know about is agriculture. But if voting is a good thing, id like to vote before i die. But well have to wait a little bit longer because the election authorities will not to access these done villages along the borders because of the presence of m groups as the Central African republic, a country transitioning to democracy. It is not able to fully organize elections. This is difficult to organize elections in a country that is just coming out of a crisis. The International Community helped us and thanks to their help. We are moving toward these elections even though our country is going through a difficult time period. You visited the city of bank in the northern part of it. These are not small conflict ridden territory, things change for the children. Even finding out these are some of the things that disappoint me because of this registered 4.

The film was meant to be playing now, but because of the pandemic, its currently set for release in january. Theyre young and theyre angry. They want change. Now we need our top. I think their passion made a huge impression on german photographer, jim of acute, known for his black and white celebrity portraits. Now hes focusing his lens on todays youth. For a year he followed young climate activists in the fridays for future movement, including later tonight, this film is called now i think this was the last chance to make this film and he does not. I dont think we have much time left for films that explain the way out of this climate catastrophe. Time is running out it was young people who changed his perspective, the activists taking the older generations to task, smart, eloquent, strategic, like german fridays for future organizers. Who features in the film . The david against only a thing . Yeah. We just think of resources that are unique and this is for us, its young voices. Its young minds of young people who have a right to have a future. No one can take us away from them and the strongest argument i have it will only affect my generation career for really, but you cant just shut it out if you know that youre living on a planet, maybe a few more decades and the whole future will be determined by the salone. Its insane from bush to sanford to go also in lists, director of inventors and singer patti smith has crossed generational voices cheering on young activists efforts.

And his team were in new york when addressed World Leaders at the United Nations general assembly. After sailing across the atlantic, the eyes of all future generations are upon you. And if you choose to fail us, i say we will never forgive you. The documentary strength lies in the hope of the young people. It features 3 more show. Days of emily destruction people on the front lines. Fuck that. Will it happen . And it will be, do it . No idea. Its a gripping question. Is this, were starting to see some signs that its possible. Were getting close. Just doesnt see that weve nothing but his constant. No future without food photographer greg siegel for treys children from around the world, surrounded by what they eat. Some have more. Others less, some yet real food, others largely junk food. See those pictures. Tell us a lot about their cultures about disparities in wealth and health and about the state of humanity. Because in the 10 years old from needs some suggest melon eggs, my son, 11 years old from dakar, part white bread filled with peas and noodles data 7 years old from hamburg, fish sticks and french fries. Greg siegel sees childrens nutrition as a topic thats too often overlooked food is the, is sort of the, i think of it as the kind of the social glue. You know, its the thing that binds us together and it concerns me that so little attention has been given to such an important thing. Siegel shows how globalization influences what children eat, the poor. They are the less junk food. They consume. Pizza from a major chain in mumbai, costs 13. 03 times what im childs father earns in a single day a photo shoot in brazil with cow economy, a 9 Year Old Girl from the indigenous yellow p. T. Tribe. She lives in the national park, which is in the amazonian basin. She traveled by boat and by bus and by car to get to the studio, the food that shes eating is very simple. Her daily bread, its because saba and its she uses it to wrap around fish that she catches in the river. And she said to me, you know, whenever youre hungry, you just go to the river with your net. Greg siegel lives in al to dina. Northeast of los angeles, he works for international publications. When he was a child, his mother remarried and they moved around a lot. In his teenage years, photography became a way for him to gain a certain clarity. This was good. In another series, he photographed people lying on the garbage. He produced in a week when i was a kid. Even then i was kind of curious about garbage. We have a neighbor where i was growing up in new jersey and this neighbor seemed to produce a mountain of garbage every week. You know, and they were just at the curb, there would be this pile of garbage bags. And i remember as a kid wondering, you know, where the hell is all this garbage going to be . The average american produces 13 kilograms of garbage per week. Thats more than 4000000000. 00 kilos of new waste each week in the u. S. Alone. While i was shooting that i was, i was thinking of the photographs as a kind of instant archaeology sort of, you know, so that we can see right away what the, the peoples, not only what they were there surrounded by, but also kind of what their values are siegel has also photographed grown men reenacting the American Civil War . The battlefields of the past, or now fast food, joints, or parking his photos show as an irrational illness, a longing for a past the people themselves never experienced. Its interesting because a lot of these reactors, they play both sides, they play the north and they play the south. But generally they prefer playing south greg siegel approaches his photo series, with an almost scientific precision, his pictures showing incisive, but also sometimes colors can play a huge role in how we feel. Since a lot of people started spending more time at home this year, paint companies have seen sales go way up. Now mostly theyve been selling more soothing paint colors. London based design are coming. Its taking the opposite approach. Mission to turn london into a more cheerful place through geometric and colorful patter. Its time to change that by bringing space to designers. Most famous work of art is in late. A working class district in north london meant to break up the main streets monotonous, looking at a splash of color to its place sides. The work was a commission organized by local residents who raised more than 40000 heroes through crowd fund nicknamed the one i love her. The piece covers building is one of londons largest public art. I was in the verse and you could see the one of the reading in the make them smile. That was a really nice photo a this really proud of being like big scale work these days. I think other women as well. Sometimes its not always going to like, easy to get through. The french born designer is based in hip east london. She initially wanted to become a textile designer, a professional, fast moving trends were drawing in a realistic style is important. But camille, well, i think certainly in powder its today. She really designs textiles. Instead, she prefers to give the facades of houses a fresh look. She fights urban dreariness worldwide with patterns and colors. For instance, here at an Office Building in brooklyn, new york, or at a gas station in the u. S. State of arkansas. The pop up house shes designed for lego is currently touring the world. Well as work is inspired by the american pop artist, keith haring, as well as the memphis design movement, she grew up in the south of france, where her parents owned several designer items are not style. Founded in 1980, the milan based Memphis Group was made up of postmodernist designers. They used a playful and colorful style as a reaction to functionalism, which dominated at the time period in his public and nostalgic style of design. Because i grew up in the eightys. So just on the facts, i dont know if youre going for a rules or they create their own rules in the design, which i love. And yes, really vibrant when the joy for him and his bit of sense of humor, i think invest. I mean, maybe i made that up myself, but thats what i get from it myself. Something our current project in londons financial district canary wharf shows how she manages to remain true to 1st time while continuing to experiment. Shes transformed a bridge in a top our style with stripes and lines to create optical effect sets for the future. She says her big dream is more collaboration with architects. So it might be just a matter of time before obama style Office Building adds more color to londons financial district. Thats almost it for this edition of arts and culture all leave you now there with a look at british georgian singer, katie melua, her 1st in 2 years. Its called simply album number 8.

The city that never sleeps, its this energy that makes it feel like but amid the hustle, its important to listen and pay attention. Because its not just the loudest voices who need to be heard and we all have a story to tell. I see it as my job as a journalist to go beyond the obvious.
