Ethiopias conflict. Thousands are displaced and left without basic sanitation and what little food. The countrys Prime Minister describes International Calls for dialogue. As in the syrians and Domestic Affairs and the call for welcome to the program. One of irans leading Nuclear Scientists has been assassinated. It will be sunday has long been suspected by the west, and israel of masterminding, a secret Nuclear Weapons program, as car was ambushed outside the capital tehran, according to iranian media, he later died in hospital. The countrys foreign minister zarif has tweeted there were serious indications of an israeli role in the attack. Israel has not commented on the event. A country right in the heart of iran, transformed into a scene of horror. The images are too graphic for us to show. Body parts lie scattered in a bloody end to a controversial life top scientists mock suffocate. The day perished in what seems like a targeted attack. Homilies shows a car carrying him was shot at and about 15 seconds later, a nissan pickup truck, loaded with explosives blew off about 15 to 20 meters away from his car. But the inflicted wounds on him that led to his moffat state may describe him as an eminent nuclear scientist. But he was also a member of the powerful revolutionary god whose job is to preserve the countrys cleric dominated system. This is a refined opium with other senior officials making the countrys Supreme Leader indicating just how powerful a role he played in tehran was father of the program because he was running this program, which as you know, is part of an international dispute. Its this role that might affect his side day. And amys in 20 attain, israels Prime Minister, accused iran of covering up and Ongoing Nuclear program could project a model. Even after promising world leaders, it had stopped pursuing the ball. A key part of the plan was to form new organizations to continue the work. This is how doctorow move soon fuck is the head of project about put it. Remember that main focus of the iran now says it has indications. Israel is responsible for the killing of the Nuclear Scientists. Technology his death has damaged its defenses and is vowing revenge. Earlier we spoke to trita parsi, the executive Vice President of the Quincy Institute for responsible state craft in washington. He gave us his take on the developments. We do not know yet exactly who was behind it, but we also have to be quite clear that that number of candidates are not that many at the end that are they the combination of having the capacity, the intent and or to be sent out to be able to curb ducks in operation of this kind, which seems to be a quite daring one going inside of the country with the gunmen and then assassinated that person. It really reduces the number of candidates, no more to the United States and israel. And in the case of the israelis, we do have a long history of numerous attempts that were conducted by israel, according to western media. Cessations of scientists in the 20072011 period and just 3 months ago, according to New York Times an assassination attempt on. So the number of candidates are not that many and with the israelis having almost a win win situation. If the iranians respond and it brings about a larger confrontation, that is something that Bibi Netanyahu has been looking for quite some time if they dont do it. Nevertheless, will render any attempt by them by than a distraction to restart. Diplomacy with iran even more difficult. What was going to see in the next 50 days is that it is quite nicely that the israelis, the u. A. E. , saudi arabia, u. S. , and the trumpet. Mr. Shit will do as much damage as possible to get the bind ministration off on the worst possible departure point when it comes to diplomacy with iran. In the case of the fascination of this kind, what it does is that it really changes the politics inside iran. The degree to which they are open to the girl, she said degree to which they are open to compromise is going to be affected by attempts, assassinations at this time and other escalate to unfold. So were quite likely to see her up until inauguration and i think its quite important to remember that we should not be in this situation in the 1st place. How did the trumpet in the street not walk out of the nuclear deal and given this green line through this maxim, the pressure can think we would have been in a dramatically different situation. This is a sovereign state, its crisis. France now where president has described the beating of a black man by Police Officers as an unacceptable attack that shamed his country. Music producer michel, secular, was trying to enter his paris studio. One for agents started punching him. The incident was caught on camera. This comes amid a nationwide debate about a new bill designed to restrict the filming of police while on duty. It is a disturbing video. 3 french Police Officers beating up a black man for 5 minutes in his own music studio. But the Police Officers dont know. Michelle sickly has a Security Camera in the lobby. The entire scene is caught on film. It is sad to say, but my client was lucky to have a video to report these acts which may be isolated to that but still happy to exist. Otherwise, my client would have been detained without even when its his word against the officers. We know very well that its the words of the officers that carry more weight said they would see a pattern that initially played out in the case of michelle. He was arrested and detained for 48 hours until the security footage showed up. The 3. Police officers only left the building after musicians from sickly studio in the basement, heard the noise and rushed to help. But even then, it wasnt over another officer through tear gas into the lobby, forcing sickly to go outside to see clay needed to hospital treatment for his wounds. But the physical violence was only part of the assault. They use the n. Word repeatedly, they look me in the eyes and punch me. This comes as demonstrators in front protest, a proposed law to limit the filming of police on the legislation is designed to protect Police Officers from being harassed or attacked. When critics of the bill argue that it will make it harder to hold officers accountable if they use excessive force, especially if they deny it. Its clear the officers in this case lied about the incident. In their reports, they claim the music producer attempt to grab their weapons and that he resisted. The interior minister addressed the issue on french television. I have asked for the Police Officers to be suspended at the moment. The judiciary is investigating. As soon as we have all the facts ordered their dismissal, they put a stain on the uniform of the republic. Michaud, sickly file charges against the Police Officers. Now the District Attorney is investigating the officers for use of force on duty and false testimony. Lets take a look at some of the other stories making headlines at this hour. A federal Appeals Court has rejected an attempt by u. S. President Donald Trumps legal team to block president elect joe biden from being declared winner of the pennsylvania count the state certified by victory by more than 80000 votes. Earlier this week, the ruling is another blow to try to overturn the results of the president ial election. Hillary Stamp President , aleksander.

P. s, Central Government and forces of the teeth, Peoples Liberation front, as having a devastating impact on civilians. While Prime Minister, ill be off meds refuses dialogue with leaders from the region. 3 weeks of fighting. There have displaced tens of thousands, many have fled to neighboring sudan where they end up in camps lacking even the most basic facilities. Reports from the sudanese. If you open border, we are at to you and camp called village, 8 up 212000 refugees living under harsh conditions, Running Water and food toilet facilities have yet to be built. Here, there are many refugees who fled from the town of my cupboard across the border in ethiopia, according to records by rights group, amnesty international. A massacre took place there. Early november, 600 people were slaughtered with machetes and knives, says, according to witnesses, forces loyal to the t p o f were responsible for killing ethnic, im her residence. But reportedly the m. Herrick army and its European Forces retaliated and also kill civilians. Its very hard to very fight either side as if your government doesnt allow any journalists inside to cry. Refugees here tell horrific stories of a family in mourning 13 days ago. They lost their home. Who was husband, father and brother, a brutal killing. Committed by the victims brother believes he didnt have a problem with anybody. He was an old man. He was killed just because hes too good. I am really said they believe his death was part of a revenge attack. By am herrick soldiers after 2 graine militias killed over 600000000 victims while still in shock. Im afraid im afraid of war. Im afraid of these people who killed us with nice machetes and axis, both sides the, its european army, indeed. Forces have been accused of committing atrocities against civilians, but both sides have rejected. Any responsibility for the my kudrow massacre suffered doesnt understand why the killing started. So suddenly, the m haro, whether friends and neighbors, she says, the right now had a between the to continue and the on horror. There was no problem before. We are born together living together and marry each other. But suddenly they came and start killing the children and youth, and the old people say that. But the youth, she fears for the 2 grown people and the children who are now displaced, these children have no future. They dont have anything here in my car, we had everything we needed water medicine and treatment, but not here in this camp. And what can i do . He does a big problem in my country. Biggest hope now is that this war will come to an end soon and that she and her family can go back home and rebuild their lives. Countries across europe are battling to contain a 2nd wave of corona virus infections. So is the beginning of the belgium has been among the nations hardest hit, scrambling to contain the virus and introduced new restrictions at the beginning of this law and order bars, restaurants and nonessential shops to shut down. Now belgium is trying to balance the need to contain the virus with allowing christmas and new year celebration. Keeping patients alarm from dusk till dawn formers youre now so lets see hand out worked throughout the 1st and 2nd wave of the coronavirus pandemic in this unit. Where you used to being confronted with people who were at the end of their life or in a critical condition, but not at this rate. Its true that its training. There are certain rooms where you open the door and you dont know what to expect. The corona virus has killed more than 16000. People in belgium, among around the country has the highest per capita death rate in europe survive as a grateful for the care they received during the brutal if i didnt have him here, as we say in tornay, i might have told your neighbor away with the patient and she could have died as the number of new infection drops, the country is easing its lockdown restrictions soon. Shops like these will be allowed to welcome customers again to commit to the course of us. Your d. C. The federal and regional governments decided to reopen shops on december 1st, under one condition. It must be done in a responsible and safe manner. So in the coming weeks, we wont be able to get a window shopping. Shopping will have to be done quickly and shopping that it ought to be law. The usual christmas frenzy is not going to return to the streets on Christmas Eve and christmas day. Private gatherings for those living alone will be limited to just 3 people. Bars and restaurants will stay closed till at least january for doctors treating patients suffering the most severe effects of covered 19. This is just too much too fast. So i get the sofa to it if you will. Its going to be catastrophic. If we ease the lockdown, people will obviously not respect distance trolls during the summer break. At the end of the yeah, i will clearly face a find a way to go off the home plane fast in 2000, but id keep her teamster on the knees completely exhausted. But i think it will be the final blow where we Health Workers are hoping they wont have to deal with another spike in infections come january, youre watching to deal with in his life over a lan. Nick spicer will have more headlines for you at the top of the hour for me on the entire team. Thanks for watching. What people are looking for there are many answers. There are many times there are many letters to make up your own mind. For minds you know this week on world stories, haroun violence against women is going on punished, and the nuremberg trials remembered but 1st to azerbaijan for weeks fighting over the next region, caused massive casualties. And people who are fleeing the conflict. Now, following a controversial peace deal, some are starting to return to their homes. Its a choice for moment for some, only united after weeks of fear. Now that the fighting in there has ended, hundreds of refugees are returning to their homes instead of every day. Russian peacekeepers watch over the process, but not everyone has a home to come back to on that you can get it. And her mother, i dig up from the nearby city of shushi, which is now under control. Just like for many here to them. The recent peace deal is a betrayal. We dont know what we will do and when we will hand, if we just came here because we have no other option. We dont have a home with a population of just over 50000. People still care. It is the biggest city in the quarter, but also already is here think they could soon be dealing with up to 25000. 00 refugees from nearby regions which are no longer under armenian control. I have prepared several hotels big hotels so that people can live a half an hour while we Start Building more houses. That people who have come from the regions all want to live in stock on a cut. And we have to explain to them this, that when a cut isnt big enough to provide for everyone, we have to send them to live in villages in other areas. Even for those who didnt leave, theres a lot of rebuilding to do. Traces of the war lurk around every corner preparing for the return of his children and grandchildren, who left during the fighting. The windows of his building got blown out in a bomb blast for now, plastic sheets will have to do instead. The 65 year old says he and his neighbors lived in the basement for around 3 weeks. Can still remember the fierce fighting of the 990 s. It was machine gun fire. First time it was really scary weapons. We have to start over now. We dont have anything, we dont have work either but were going to do our best to live even with destruction everywhere. Most people even smaller, the women say theyve been the victim of sexual violence, but the perpetrators face consequences for their actions. Legal proceedings are abandoned due to lack of evidence. One performer and teacher was 20 years old. She was raped by a theatre instructor excuse of helping her to explore art. He made her remove her clothing and then assaulted her. He did the same with 16 other students for 3 years. The group has been fighting to have the man prosecuted. Despite the allegations, the peruvian Justice System concluded there was not enough evidence get a letter saying that your case of sexual abuse was closed due to lack of evidence. That makes you listen again. And believe what you were told the 1st time, you made the accusation that youre lying, that youre doing it to get attention and that your life is not worth it. In peru, gender violence affects all social classes. Equally. Viruses experience inspired these 2 books. Shes a Television Presenter and also a victim of gender violence. Her attacker was her former partner, her case is still waiting to be resolved. Impunity is like a cancer that eats you up and kills you. Because it doesnt allow things to change. Its not enough to punish only violence, the ends and death. We have to focus on that slap that we have to focus on psychological aggression. Because if we are only going to react when women are dead, its too late. In peru, 66 percent of women have reported being victims of violence are not to contreras is pushing the parliament to address the issue today, a member of congress. She was brutally attacked by her exboyfriend. Now she promotes an agenda to end the violence inflicted by the state itself. Institutional violence it see that in a situational violence is violence perpetrated by state agents through the Justice System. For example, Police Officers, prosecutors judges, and medical examiners. There are many cases of people who report phylis meant that at the time of reporting, they are rejected. Mine stop blaming and then subject it to more violence in the east. Seeing as there have been cases in which the police have accused a victim, and this victim has ended up being victimized again and again. And buddy, i mean to beat him at them and they became one of the 60000. 00 accusations of abuse against women reported in peru this year. Less than one percent lead to convictions in this palace of justice instead of offering impartiality on laos, impunity. The war crimes trials against high ranking representatives of the nazi regime began 75 years ago in nuremberg for the very 1st time, a countrys leadership was called to account in court. Contemporary witnesses, remember in 1944 peter gard, osh was 14 years old when he, his mother and his sister were deported to the auschwitz concentration camp. One year later, at the nuremberg trial, he recognised some of the men who sent them to the gas chamber. It was pure luck that he survived for life, followed the trial and felt a great satisfaction that at least the main families were brought to justice by the allies, and that they finally received their just punishment. Nicholas frank also experienced an unexpected end to his care for childhood. His father hunts frank was hitlers deputy in occupied poland. Hans was one of the main war criminals dubbed the butcher of poland. Nicholas was only 6 then. He was teased at school. At school, some kids made up rhymes minister, minister gas canister, because i was the son of a heist minister, but that wasnt so bad. In other words, said to me again, nicki nickie. That was my nickname. Your daddy will be hanged soon. So i just answered. Yes, up until the very end, the main war criminals denied the systematic extermination of jews. They tried to deny everything and said they knew nothing. But during the trial, they were shown films of the concentration camps with the mountains of corpses. And afterwards, even putin himself was dazed. None of the accused at the nurnberg trial to credit for their actions. They pushed the responsibility up the chain of command. They said they only have bad orders. They blamed everything on hitler or himmler who were both dead by then. Nicholas franks, father was sentenced to death. His and 11 more death sentences were carried out on october 16th, 1946 at the movies. Back then they showed not how they were hung, but how they lay in their coffins with the white and black stripes noose around their necks. And i thought they all deserved to wear that next time. Nicholas hong, always carries a photo of his hanged father with him. And whenever he feels just a touch of pity for his dad, he thinks of auschwitz. And then he affirms the verdict of the nuremberg trial was just the president ial election in that u. S. Has been decided. Democrat, joe biden is president elect. But the election highlighted americas deep divisions. This is particularly evident in the highly competitive swing state of georgia in the heart of one of the most divided counties in georgia, lysa town minutes with half of its population is white and 48 percent disaffection. American, in an antique shop in downtown, we find many items that reflect the time when milledgeville was george us, a State Capitol that was during the civil war. When the confederacy, including georgia, fought to keep slavery. Some elements of that time still seem relevant to shop owner larry hughson, who seems to be stuck in the past. There is never, never going to be equality in race. He has a grim take on the current political situation now, and i dont think the republicans and the democrats are going to meet on level play and fail. Floyd griffin has been doing his bit to level door to us political Playing Field for decades. He was the 1st democrat to have been elected from this area to the Georgia Senate and also served as minute rules may or the bottom line is ratios in here and an american president majority. The White Community are going to be in a minority here pretty soon and they fear the black and brown people are going to take over. The divisions here in milledgeville, broadly reflect those of the whole of the usa bringing together people who feel as differently as floyd, griffin, and, and shop owner. Larry used to do is a major challenge. But they need to Work Together on the many problems in the country. And in the town, stephen hall was or has some ideas. He is the director of the local library and helps organize the initiative on the table. It brings people together to discuss local issues in a constructive way. He approaches low drama and encourages everyone to get involved. I think were looking at a future of what is our value, what are our ideas of how we should behave toward each other . And what is the common purpose that i think weve lost a little track about love to see that come together in the future. Or that americans have to start listening to one another and stop shouting over each other. Plans is a train, a social worker, brother john solomon heads to a unique style soccer academy. Nic maria is known as shes often come from difficult social backgrounds. John gives them a task and i want to tell that energy into sport since hes just 77 percent.

The name is eddie mike, a junior, and im honored to have your company today. This is what weve got for you on the show today. We check out the talents of some young aspiring Football Players in nigeria. We also have an exclusive interview with the professional and the german born this week. And we find out why he saw these changes in the legacy of the media independence hero and very important lets kick start the program with football. With about 3000000000 fans. Its neither well or you know, sports now in africa, nigeria is one of footballs biggest houses, a Country House would use big name talents like gigi and wankel khan. But theres more hidden gems out there. So we went to on the outskirts of up to meet a young man who is helping kids from his community, develop the out talent. Nigeria has long been a hot spot for football talent. Like many youngsters, john always dreamt of becoming africas best football player. But as fate would have it, john is now a coach and a unique star. The Program House reach out to about 800000 youth in disadvantaged communities across africa. Whats much of it didnt to start was because i saw so many streets kids in most of these such as drug abuse and so on. So i said, how can i come up with started on how to solve all of these challenges . So i said, i want to involve most i want energies into sport activities. John has successfully humping over 64 young Football Players in 15 different communities, including here on community. He moves from street to street, identifying players with potential. He also has to convince parents to allow their children to join the soccer academy, which aims to create a platform for Young Athletes to develop young talent and build reus. I went to the houses to inform the parent and seek approval for the children to put spits in our training programs. And what we also did was we would bust them justice to encourage them because most of the less privileged, most of them dont have parents. Its just the hunger dusted skeets. One of johns from uppity, she sticks engine on, so its not playing for nigeria and the 15 national team. Many of the kids in this community have the right combination of passion and talent, but a luck social support. So this is one of the young people who think from the slum and now is international. This is austine. They both were picking from one community unknown. Also live different is now global. So i think they will give us a little this is our want of arguments. We want to belong to all the untruths. International arms control about able to austin currently whos the freestyle i want, and a phaeton Tricks International competition. Hes quit fool for the chance to pursue a career in football. I was in to get to before i think, very good smelling area. When there was no opportunity, not give me a lot that you could do one present. He said, i think i need this if you i want, i want, i want of course, every Success Story comes with challenges. Confinement good place to practice, to find justice and other equipment and taking care of the kids. It all requires money. Thats why john solomon relies on funding there is just awful. He needs to tell the freak people who actually need phones. That what we did was we got a grant to the need for balls on 14, on the grounds of the u. S. Embassy in a bridge or uses that money to support a project. He needs one, both local and international awards, johns team. So anyone won tournaments aimin to success . I was john and his team much more success than i had. You know, football is my favorite sport but to be honest, im not very good at it. But at least i know how to find the back of the next so they have a cover. But enough about me, lets meet someone who actually made it in the big league. The plays for the german, when this guy f. C. Can know hes got nigerian parents but was raised and another check him out. Kingsley also says hes 25 years old, dutch nigerian, and plays in the German Bundesliga on the field. He runs up to 35. 85 kilometers per hour. Making him the 4th fastest player in germany. The defender was born in munich but grew up in both his career in the netherlands and childhood. He wanted to be a footballer. He had to learn how to Balance School education and overcome setbacks. He now plays for the f. C. Current and scored his 1st goal in february 2020. A dream come true, a heart and dream and was part lies. And football has also found a new home mcconnell city of cologne. Why you raise a child off . The old is so great and the battle, its a sport, the team spirit, and the passion of the fans that make and his boys strive for the 1st star on his jersey. Actually, cologne, france, definitely know how to threw a party. But we wanted to find out more about his what is he really like away from the limelight on the local festivities . Well, my colleague bustamante went to meet him on his home turf in cologne. Right here in cologne. One of the biggest football clubs in germany, when i say biggest, i dont really mean trophies, but i mean, it has a rich traditional culture here in germany. And we are blessed to have our very wonderful guy here can sleep. How is the feeling, you know, when you are told kingsley you have to play for what is emotionally i think its, its crazy. You know, if you come, if you come to cologne, you know, youre stories about clawing. Things like, yeah, its nice. You know, its beautiful. Beautiful city, beautiful. But i think the 1st time you play in for us in this stadium, its crazy people. Yes, so crazy. They really love ww. Enjoy football. And i dont know. No, i dont even have words for it. Really. Its very crazy. Being affable, i mean, many of them want to be, you know, those who scores to be stars, not, you know, strikers not ready for what and if and i like i like to make because for me to make really like this, i like to, i like to run the line, be aggressive, and of course i have a lot of times i go to the front. Of course i was a like all the talk. I also like to make theyre not there yet. Also like celebrates, you know, talking of, you could hear at ryan and he started yelling for the fun for the 1st time. How is the feeling . Its this case here. I dont know what, of course, when, when you 1st one 1st me, im going to make a call, you know, things like this. Im going to celebrate like im going to do days and then when i made the goal, i didnt even know what i did. You know so much before as i just, i just think of course for this big moment it was, it was very nice. And you always want to be yeah, always on the football player. But from my parents, like from my father was like school to support your 1st. If you dont do so you have to balance, but i had to balance both because for me it was like ok, i just want to be football and nothing else. I dont want to do anything else with football, but i was a smart kid and i thought i knew it, but i was like, i didnt want to do so much for school. So i was like, ok 1st from the 1st school 1st. Then talking about football or what our style of calls the challenges that come with it. Having made it to this level, you must have experienced a little telling along the way. There are so many you going up to you. How do you have all these precious because theres a certain way that maybe people want you to look like for your image. And of course, there will be always hard times and the only for football is for everything in life hard times to come. But if you realize that the hard times will make you to be, we have to be so just take it and go through the process and never, never give up. I think thats the biggest thing because people always tell you like you can do it. You can make it to something else, but the thing is if you just trust yourself, you know who you are and what you can and just just do it. You go through the process now is digital platforms. Us also from wasnt popular among, you know, even the fanbase, theres a lot of connection there and you can see immediately, but some of these comments could even affect you mentally. You know, of course, i think if youre not, if youre not strong enough, it can affect, you know, imagine if you, if you play a bad match and everyone does like a, this shit 2 years should play or do next time video. If you can play with these things, these things will come. And if you play good music, they are great playing. Here, you gotta be strong, and thats why its important to believe yourself and to know we are even in bad taste or in good taste. You know, because if youre not strong enough, you dont know, you are the things with the little comes with you, you can, you can get 1000 positive comments. And if you get one bad one, it can get sticky. You know, so yeah thats, thats, thats life. I mean, one of the challenges that were facing right now in the sporting world is the issue of racism and discrimination. And weve seen it pop up over and over again. And of course, during your journey from one of the genii ive ever been subjected to such amusing yeah, of course, social, social media from the fans or school age course its affected me, of course. And its hard to hear, you know. And for me, it affects me when that and when i see it happen against other guys, you know, other black guys who, even if youre black or from another race show, you know, its of course it affects me. So does a lot with me. So if you focus on it and just try to come out of, ill go all the emotion and yeah, for me its just for me without is just pray. I bring everything, i just bring everything to god. So if i feel pressure to feel offended everything, i dont try to react to it, but i try to give it to court and i can a piece from god. And i just keep going on, you know, thats for me less for me. What else . But its not, its not difficult, you know, something because thats the end of our chat with kingsley. Hes a boy easy from see right here by great shots that sadly, racism still exists in football. But i am confident about together. We can fight it. Now im sure you agree that the year 2020 has been a strange one from empty football stadiums to restrictions in our private lives. Its been a bit disheartening at times, but theres always a reason. Smile. We met one man in lagos who goes by the name. Hes keeping children spirits up during a pandemic with his spontaneous clown routine. For just if today is like any other day. Yeah, places make up to transform into his alter ego joe punky. But corner virus measures mean joe punkin cant clown around a kid, spent the party and antisocial events like he used to. So the former School Teacher has had to find other ways to make ends meet while the Party Business is from home lives in his shop in lagos, and travels nearby markets and neighborhoods. Just sell his balls and sponges. He says it hasnt been easy, says a brick out of the wall. I dont know. Stand out joe makes a fraction of what he used to make before the pandemic. And its cost you money, improvised facemask. He stands out in this market. But joe punky wouldnt be punky if he didnt clown around outside as a comedian. I have to go outside so that so that its joe hopes, things will get back to normal here soon. d until then, he will continue to bring joy to the streets of lagos and put a smile on kids faces, especially during the hard times of khalid 19. Thats just beautiful. Never underestimate the importance of this. Especially during difficult times like these. Now, a few weeks back, we got an email from South African rob mobius them, who had stumbled upon didnt use comic series african roots whose real name is simon big boy. Hes a descendant of the Namibian National hero. And think that boy, you know, much of who fought against german colonial rule today, you can spot him on the median dollar notes here. Mobius some produce his latest music video in collaboration. We did up we went to meet him in cape town. Boy, the title of humility. A sims latest release. The track is an ode to cut jane hendrix with boy. Unama chief vic boy died fighting german colonial troops in present day namibia, South African rapper humid because some is a direct descendant of that boys his goal, inspiring people to take pride in their ancestry. We dont have that icons of people who are just saw che guevara or one fe or whatever. And so its so important for our people to have that to, to i think a beautiful way to put it is to say that rock from which we were cut, you know, to, to know this is who we are. We can strive for with his people here will be a, some refers to the socalled colored community in post apartheid south africa, the Community Faces economic challenges and prejudices their way of speaking. The afrikaans language he says, is often associated with gangsterism and poor education. Theyre making fun of that so that need 1st needed to be liberated. And for me, for about 10 years now, that was all i focused on is to go into schools and say, but i was your how do you speak . Its not a sub standard of this or whatever. This is so important. This is one of the most important things that the big africans picture needed right now is you seem most a little lucky because the news. But the analysis of democracy was fun and listening limited because it is being kind of empowerment and education of ones cultural identity is human besoms mission. Its something his friend and to to artist kind of sashi can attest to and i remember there was a time we to get the book of enoch wood boy and he wind through mountains to actually just get a copy. And he actually looked really very murky plea, actually made copies, or even a single page. The search is reflected on the rapid skin. Kennesaw sheet tattooed the face and seal of the nama chief on 2, humid because some arm, the reason indignant, weighs on my arm, is because theres no need to reach you find inside africa. And in that i can play, said it in one of my songs. I say you give me an elson. I let raise you in that you know, its the equivalent, but youll find nothing and yet is born here. In namibia hendrik rich boy is a national hero. Even appearing on the countrys 10. 00 notes. But in south africa where he was born, hes relatively unknown while preparing his music video. Himmel, be a some stumbled upon a feature on his ancestor by de w. s african roots series. I like using whats out there or d. D. And why . Because somebody didnt they. I hope somebody will use it for something else. So why do you want to compete with something . And then i found this by the inch of ella, which is, and i contact them immediately, and 2 days later, she came back to me like, whoa, now were going to boys everything. And theres this game of lights. Im so happy that the children, all of them just sit here and believe that the resulting video is a powerful tribute to him direct. But boy, good to see a female be a sim, is proud to said i was in the way. But thats the movie, a powerful tribute and its extra special doing thats music. Now lets go to ivory coast. The country held elections at the end of october, but the web, i could tell by large parts of your position would disagree with that. To get young a variance perspective on the election, we followed an activist on election observer before and after the polls elections and i have recourse. They were tense marked by violence, and the results are disputed. Incumbent president alassane ouattara, won the election by a landslide on election day believe was an official election observer in the run up to the election. The student and Civil Society activists had insults run a campaign to encourage people to vote. But most major opposition parties boycotted the vote with only one independent candidate, challenging what era and on voting day briefs decided not to cost us about the collective my vote incurred with the intention of fortune. So that i can make my choice. We would consider how things went as it were for to win when with us were only one real candidate. This is the election, credible without any opponent. He is a credible, really before the polls. Police had been his hopes on a free and fair election. In 2010, he experienced ivory coast postelection violence 1st hand. After that, he made it his mission to mobilize voters, especially the youth, to effect peaceful change through the ballot box. This is if the youth decide to say no to something, things can change quickly. Young people are not aware of a very present 77 percent of the population, not or of the power of their strength. There was spots of violence even before the elections and police and his fellow activists knew that their Political Engagement could be risky. We are salted, we are 3 turned, but we wont give up. Thats what we call commitment. So dont be afraid, dont be afraid. On election day, the voter turnout was low, 54 percent of ivorians came out to vote. According to the electoral board, the police think the numbers might even have been lower. Some of the polling station didnt even open or closed early due to the low voter turnout. Thank you, sir. According to me, democracy has once again regressed in every coast. As result started pouring in, it became clear that president ouattara had won 94 percent of the vote. Its just 3rd term in office, something that his opponents say goes against the countrys constitution. For police and his friends is a disappointment, even though many of them chose not to vote. Its the youth who suffer from the political decisions of the youths are used to achieve political goals. When you see its them, people who fight its own people who die. All the things happen in our own, this election. If you ask me, nobody listened to the youth and that i think if the voices of young people were heard, police believes things could be different. After all, this is not the last election and for police, thats nothing reason to continue the struggle. Tell you what we are suffer because you should be aware that we have a lot of power effect change. Now on that positive note, its time to celebrate one of our own either come on. Shes been named one of the 100 most influential Young Africans of 2020 by the gonna be our family bonds, media, and africa. You the watts. Yes, yes. 3. My name is edith q.
