Hello im kristie wonder its good to have your company see is all growing that ethiopia could be facing a protracted conflicts in the Northern Region off to the governments ses. It rito control of the region over the weekend, but it is off to grind forces say they all still fighting on all fronts. The spokesperson for the forces say they had no intention of surrendering repeatedly stated that we will in dayton. The techno enemy, on our terms, and with our preferred bethell certainty, not with what the enemy chooses for us. Oh, and dont give its use of liberating cities that the enemy have left behind is ongoing, and our forces must try. The low militia forces as shown, harrisons everywhere to grind forces also say they shot down an ethiopian fighter jet and captured its pilots and brought possibly do off their troops, allegedly, still on the macho. It is not possible to independently verify any of these claims. As communication with the region remains a civet Us Government in at this of a before its part. Ses such assertions all quotes delusional as an extraordinary session of parliament. If youre his Prime Minister abu ethnic praised his soldiers for their victory, he said the army had been disciplined, and that not a single civilian had been killed. But the to grind data has accused the Ethiopian Army off carrying out a quote Genocidal Campaign in the area. Diplomats told Reuters News Agency they think thousands of people may have been killed. And sadiq up bra is ethiopias minister in charge of de mocker sized nation. He is joining me now. Welcome to news africa minister. The Prime Minister has told parliament that the military did not kill a single civilian in this conflict. Really hard to believe. How can he be so sure of that . Because he has a report on the ground running, the country military started over this, which is not i waited any civilians actually it was the operation was led is known the principle of decision and sort of a collaboration. So we have avoided on our part. We have avoided any civilian casualty, but and if their lives, i believe heal the mood and 7. Im an individual, its america mini me, your hands. So when we say that is most evident, because what it is one hour in with an ellipse in again, i will point out that everything is difficult to verify because this is a region that is still cut off from the rest of all janice ont on the ground, and we understand that your government is insisting that this war is over. But weve heard otherwise from to cry and lead us now or analysis points to people feeling that a guerrilla war with to crime forces. What . Well, were being launched from the mountains. Is your government prepared for that . We dont want to waste our time responding because we very well know that we dont have the capacity for the invasion. It would appear. They have lost the support of their entire theory and people you no longer have the military spending to do so. So this is simply a reversal of course, them of everything. Weve defeated the have lost the war so that they have to resort and descend upon a program that grabs artesian of the global community. We know the grounds of the ripples we have used in ice on the ground. They have not been all we are left with, print them and bring them to a court of law. Ok on us that we are assignments and on time to be trivial to like to provide to them. And in this instance does or oh right. The military minister, a, sorry mess or actually if youre talking about a crime people, i do want to speak about the refugees. And many of them inside that have expressed that they are most worried about an exposure of into communal violence. And thats where it is something that we have seen happen. What does your government have to prevent this . If you create a country or even city and our people have literally, every city, our people, our models like example, it is a limp. The real core of this, and thats not going to happen. You know, we have accepted the Internet Business person of more than 2000000 people. So we have the capacity to 250 has a very sort of an ethic of resist more. I compare to expense we have 2 years ago. We had 2 years ago. We have, we had 2, wasnt a 1000000, people of internet explicit. Once we sold that and is this the people are we have to publish resettling or our citizens over there. So we will be engaged in that, activity pretty much and we are also trying to rebuild when the t. V. , before it is the road connectivity at the local people are going to be destroyed by the feeling. So if war is unfounded, if you see if you use that ability to go on, our people are now working together. And one of the little he said that minister, that all the refugees that have fled to safe and we are working with the sudanese government, our embassy, there is a high working activity well established, a task force that will help our citizens over there to come in to resettle where they were used, where they used to live. So thats not going to be a problem pretty much. All right, that is going to says that these are problems who is in charge of democrats high station and you cant there. Thank you. And its to prayer time and you thank you very much. The fighting into gras is since tens of thousands of refugees streaming into neighboring sudan. The u. N. Says almost half of them all children. Mario mona filed this report from a camp just inside the Sudanese Border and that there was a year of likes to sing songs he learned growing up and he misses playing with his friends and especially with his older brothers.

We jumped over dead bodies, our neighbors were dead, but we couldnt bury them. So we just kept running. And europe saw a lot of things, a 70 year old shouldnt see, says i see for us all. Shes close friend of his mother has known him for years. He trusts her many other children who flatly die when not so lucky. The u. N. Estimates almost half the 40000 refugees from the region. Actually, its not clear how many of them arrived in sudan on their own, but the Health Ministry is currently registering all these as especially vulnerable. We face multiple problems 1st, an important one. We have to find out whether the family came to sudan or not. If the family was killed, we need to explain that to the child. After that, we look for a solution. As safe for us, so hopes that she will never have to explain that to a europe. She believes his parents live, but with no phone and no communication blackout into guy. She cant reach anyone in their hometown. If god lets me live long enough, and if theres peace, ill take the boy back to his mother. Now im a refugee, but i will do whatever i can for this boy. Hes like, my own son.

Was a huge brock royal palace in the middle of damaged in world war 2, and then finally demolished in 1958. Now it has been controversially rebuilt, and the newly named forum will become a Cultural Center housing, a number of museums bringing together artifacts from all over the world. It was reconstructed with money, partially from private donors who were thanked in a special ceremony on sunday. I was the musical, thank you for the private donors who raised over 100000000 euros to the new berlin city palace in the heart of the capital. A labor of love for the friends of the berlin palace association, headed by businessman behind funding bodies and purses the lives of god. Its been a task of a lifetime. Im unbelievably happy and grateful, and also humbled by the support we received that sellout us to reach our goal is to charge. On july, the 4th 2002, the German Parliament approved with a resounding majority the reconstruction of the palace originally built by the horn, silent in a city. Subsequent years saw the project become more divisive, not least regarding its purpose as a home for the humble it for them, a museum housing violins known european collections. But in 25000, the cornerstone was laid for the new palace. The process of restoring the Historic Center of balin to its former glory was underway. One thats being fraught with obstacles, including technical problems and spiraling costs that reach 644000000 euros. Critics also say the ambitious project evokes prussias imperial. Past the cross atop its dome has proved, especially controversial seen by many as it odds with the humboldt forums aim of transcending cultures and religions. Moreover, beneath it is a band of bible quotes compiled by 19th century king fleetly should be had in the form of calling on all peoples to submit to christianity words. The german president franchise has steinmeyer put in context months. Some may be irritated to see traditions cited this way. Traditions tied to militarism nationalism and ruthless power mongering. Presho also stands for a very different sound and forward looking traditional fare in light and intolerant of education and humanistic thinking. And frederick the great samus belief that everyone must find belief in his own way. The early parts of the building will officially open on december the 17th, a virtual opening. Needless to say, use of the current current virus restrictions. A lot of controversy about this project to dissect it. My colleague kennedy joins me now. How far do we have to go to understand the story . Yeah, quite a long way robin. There are 2 controversies that come together here. One is about the rebuilding of the building itself, the berlin, paris. The other is about the home forum. This is the super museum, the center of culture, based on the british museum, which the paris will power. Well, lets start with the building. Ok, well theyre building as we know, it was built in the early 18th century. The palace was badly damaged during the 2nd world was apparently structurally sound when it was controversially dynamited by the world as a communist east. Germany in 1950, they saw it as a symbol of prussian militarism, the communist rubber stamp parliament, the palace. The republic was then built in its place. It was also a Cultural Center. And then after german reunification in 1988 started about building the palace. Those in favor started raising money in tick boy, creating a giant mock up of the berlin palace facade at the original location that she was very successful. But there was still quite a lot of opposition. Thats why some people thought that demolishing the past the republic would be more sweeping german history under the carpet. Others said it was part of it does need land trend, creating fake Old Buildings in germany. But those in favor did when the resulting building is rather oppressive. And of course, were going to have great trouble culture in the city. But the more controversy there is there, because very early on it was decided, the main function of the new building would be to house 2 museums, the Ethnological Museum of talent, and the museum of asian art, under the auspices of the boat forum at the time, not such a controversial idea, but in the intervening years, subject of colonial era looting has come much more to the fore. Activists, i museum has not done enough to research the provenance of exhibits the museum in its turn, promising to address all the issues in a very open way. Of course, the 2 controversies come together because when people from around the world come to visit Cultural Treasures from their own countries, they view them in the reconstruction of a palace, which was the former home of the colonial leaders. So the humble form has a lot to, to live up to this vision of a diverse museum, a museum, or for the world, a museum for the world. And well be covering it a lot more in the coming months from now though educated. The thank you very much q. Now, you are not like album of those is a novel like memoir by and get a story based loosely on how mothers experience as a german jew in the 1930 s. A mother didnt believe her family were really in any danger. From the nazis. The memoir is a great example of how the events we read about in history books completely altered normal peoples lives. So deeply. David leavitts has mall berlin, open minded, sexually liberated the coolest city in europe, the place where Everyone Wants to be. But imagine suddenly its filled with hate discrimination and violence. Its hard to believe it could happen today. And it was just as hard to believe when it was happening in 1938 and like many german jews, i was a doesnt want to believe that her family is in danger. But when the nazis start torching synagogues and destroying jewish businesses, she takes her daughters and flees. She leaves behind her husband, her friends, her wealthy lifestyle, and her freedom. I was this daughter and give you a book about her mother. Its called you are not like other mothers. As a party animal with a stable of lovers and 3 children by 3 different men. Pretty wild for the daughter of a well to do family. She recognized no conventions kept no accounts had no pretensions. When i tried to describe her to myself or to others, i repeatedly come back to the word genuine. And her daughters a scape, just in time to bulgaria. They lived there and poverty until after the war. When they returned to germany, i was only lives a few more years. Youre not like other mothers is the story of a german jew who like so many in her generation, didnt believe it could get that bad. Never in her wildest nightmares could have dreamed up Something Like the holocaust. Her story is tragic and yet full of life. Its a book that will cripple you and wont let you go. Now stringed instruments have a beautiful shape, and this true italian artist led an auto free go to use them as blank canvases. Creating art works that are also musical instruments. He illustrates the entire instrument with pictorial stories, either inspired by historical events by client specific wishes. All, for instance, currently a whole series of violins illustrating an ancient book. The Divine Comedy ive done london based on his use is a new dips in to illustrate stringed instruments primarily violin. The instruments on his canvas on the shape of the violin is very hard to paint because its like hes 9 dimensions. So hes a 3 dimensional object and its very hard to paint on the sides or on the top part is different. I need to be very careful because the ink, his liquid and his if i made a mistake, is once a violin is freaking has gone and then tastes like the 7 deadly sins including slough. And enough these 4 seasons or scenes from the ancient roman city of palm paint. This was inspired by the 19th century english artist. When you moris to paint a violin can takes up to a month and to paint a cello can takes off to 3 months to pay that to relate nature beast, pirates by day story or the biography. I really like paints, personal biography, as well, like costume are for someone want of iran, is part of by his life. The violin belonging to israeli concert violinist markovitch in the Street Scenes from the life of the most famous violin maker of all time. And tony almost there is his workshop, back in cremona and italy. Then there is cremona on the mark of italy. There is a number of instruments that he built, the homes and 100 is the label that he used to put inside his instruments. There all the years of which he used to operate as one behind you can see his family tree. I really love this. Not all the violin. Theres no, not if they go in the straight, some meant to be played. Even if the artwork has no effect on this hour. How many times do you see an instrument that is also a painting at the same time . And thats one extra value that i absolutely love about this volume and i enjoy just taking it on stage. Currently im not overly ego, is working on a special project. Hes a skating 33 violins and a cello with motives from a 700 year old book. The Divine Comedy by italian author down today i make yet again, its the earliest what ever written in the italian language, a series of 33 violins, this close to completion to mock the 700 tonne of history of done taste death in 2021.
