The name is eddie micah jr. Youre welcome to the program. That theme for this year as well aids day is and then the age, hiv aids, epidemic brazilians on the impact. Now, while theres been great progress in tackling the virus in recent years, the global aids hiv epidemic is far from over. Especially in africa. South africa is a country where one in 5 people are living with a virus. A correspondence at him curse reports from cape town. For almost 2 decades, the Nonprofit Organization hope has been an important point of contact for those living with hiv. Like here in the cape town, township of guilt. To 2 years ago, luis morris worked in a textile factory, but then her life took a difficult to, an accident, left her unable to work out the whole problems followed. And then she became infected with hiv. But my family didnt want to have anything to do with me after my h. I. V. Diagnosis. They cut off contact. And even now if my neighbors knew that i have a chevy, they would only say hi from a distance. They wouldnt invite me to their homes. It means i also keep my distance. Its not easy being a hiv positive, you have to somehow accept that people behave in a certain way towards you. I find it sad. Dr. Is on rainy could and is used to hearing similar stories. At least hoffa of the community has a Family Member that somebody that they know thats actually positive but its but its so common here, but people dont speak about it. They people are definitely not open about it. They might speak to us about it, the mad speak to the Service Providers about it, but they will, they finitely not speak. They, theyre not open about their status. They worried about discrimination. Although stigma still a massive problem in many communities, south africa has made a mess of progress in the fight against hiv aids. Over the past years, most people, the vast majority of those living with hiv, know their status and are on medication. And just recently, researchers announced possibly for the good news. The preventative drug prep has been available for several years around 90000, South Africans protect themselves against h. P. V. Infection by taking a daily tablet. Now a study into a similar preventative drug that needs to only be injected every 8 weeks, has found it to be even more efficient. Women particularly have many challenges with taking a pill a day. Issues of their habits of taking a pill, but also people experience a lot of social pressures. So women are judged as living with hiv. If theyre taking pills that look like antiretrovirals, they may have judgments about their sexual activity. And partners may feel that they are wanting to be unfaithful, so there are many barriers to taking a pill a day. And what the injections were able to do is overcome some of those challenges by being discreet and convenient. Independent researchers also see the injection is an important development, but for the research is necessary to find other options to prevent hiv in women. Young women are the hardest hit group in south africa, and we lag behind some you know . So hopefully in cape town also believes the injection could be a great help, but it may not be available for a number of years. In the meantime, more argent issues remain due to the covered pandemic. Few aged patients are going to kleenex. As a result, the number of new infections a newborn says on the rice, a worrying trend. So after all the hard work to stop the spread of the virus. From on the now joined from johannesburg by shes a mouse and archer, a person of the Treatment Action Campaign. Great to have you on the news africa. Now the Treatment Action Campaign has been other forefront of fighting hiv aids for decades. And now virus, i was not affecting life for People Living with aids, hiv in south africa. Thank you because i think because we have seen as destruction, the faith, its pushing the in focusing. Also we have seen a got to fight and you have seen people who and what things actually meant. Correct. Because if a city is the way out of the bank and i could go and just with 10 men and sometimes they would have to be medication over their parents. And sometimes they have to wait a day to outbreak of the not i was but up one ship. So those are the challenges and we spoke out one of the major one says that things have been ok. Now im middle east challenges and the reports we had about the new prep treatment on web full 8 suites. Again, changes to that can change and maybe you know, based on to the court that the we have that 2400 so that is the kitchen number of young people. So we feel that this the thing which is that when i ask hiv infection in the country. Ok, now overall bill its a softer time making enough progress in terms of age. I mean treatment and prevention i would whether thats going to say enough yet because what i would say the number of people with hiv would be no one. So if youre going to have to get 2400. 00, we have less than if they left and effectively 2nd young boys. Now, i think means that i want to spend programs not talking to white people underground me. So as much as we have crap, we have nothing which we need to mess it up. So i want to show thoughts on this, isnt it fascinating that in less than a year, we almost all be boxing folk over 19 by best still no sign of one for each i. V. , its been decades. Its been a hopeful about you know, what, but what lessons have we done . Thats not thats where most people were as communities as that was to come up with facts that they did the question. Well, i just said that such a quick 19, a question says, i think thats including people who, you know, i thought i was with my own make sure that something coming up this intervention coming up. That if we could be like that for a child, be as much as he sets of what i can well see, thats different up well so cannot afford to fight me to see if you can not be too can take up the issue of all routes as we can set it right, we have seen thrown at us in the people we would need to be if we can have us and thats with us. And i would think i was good because i know i dont have to take any pain. I dont have to walk about god and all those things, but this is the question. Thats why i think that if you up with nothing but that you have my or your each, then everything with simone g. D. By law. Thank you for your time. The u. N. Refugee agency has appealed to me. 96000 refugees in the region possible food shortage and forced the nearly month long war has displeased thousands of people into neighboring countries like africa correspondent traveled to the border region and sent us this report. They were lucky after crossing the border from ethiopia to sudan, and her family found refuge in this home. The nearby campus already overcrowded. There they would have had to sleep outside on the ground. And i thank the owner of this house so much because she doesnt know us. She doesnt know anything about us. But because we were neighbors across the border, she took us in more than 50 people this week. She never forget the moment she realized she and her 9 children had to flee their hometown and to cry. We cried, and our children cried with us when they wept in front of us. The shooting started while we were eating, and we just had to leave. You mean 6 families live here together . That is more than 50 people in one house, among them, a tourist and her husband. When the fighting and to get out started, they tried to bring the children to safety. When the shooting started, i gave my children to our neighbors who had a car to take them with them. Since then she hasnt heard anything from them because of a communications blackout. And today she cant call the neighbors or people in her village. My children are always on my mind. Whenever i close my eyes, i see them the owner of the house a study day by him. Its not the 1st time that she has welcomed refugees in her, home. In the 1960 s. , people who fled the war in these people came to us and those are we dont have much money, but they are our neighbors. So we had to hurt them. Many residents of this already poor region have again welcome to keep the refugees in their homes. Some of us shelter, only others provide food and water. However, the influx of people here has resulted in instant price hikes. Residents tell us vegetables, fruit, and even water has become much more expensive. Still, they try to help as much as they can for its the 2nd time that she had to flee her home. She doesnt want the same for her children. I hope my children will have a better life. Were not become like us. I wish theyd go to school study, do their jobs in stay away from politics. Elizabeth farida, even i am, says her guests can stay as long as they need.

That is for me, is for beethoven is for beethoven is for beethoven is for embryonic beethoven 2020, 150th anniversary, here on music from israeli singer liras cha, his latest album, which is causing controversy because shes collaboration with a rainy and musicians which hasnt pleased the iranian oil for, ill be talking to her in a minute, also coming out today.

Iranians are not meant to have prearranged contact with israelis. Nevertheless, there as char, he is ready, singer and actress with jewish uranian roots has recorded an album together with musicians from iran. Theyve done it secretly. Swapping files online. Zan which means woman is an album of many contrast musically and culturally ill be talking to live in a minute. But 1st, lets find out more about her and her music. Mayor as a child, he feared for the lives of the iranian alters. She collaborated with on her new album sound. So they worked in secret and she doesnt use their real names. The project gave her months of sleepless nights, but the israeli actress and singer of persian heritage refuses to let politicians tell her who have enemies on this album is her response. Parents emigrated from iran to israel in 1970, s. And child. He was born there in 1978 on her 1st 2 albums she sang in hebrew and iran was a country she was barred from visiting. Yet she grew up between israeli and iranian culture. So she moved to los angeles as an actor when she enjoys a successful career. And most recent role was as a mossad spy in an israeli made 3 series called terror on and its official. It was in the United States that she began to explore her passion, background, discovering and falling in love with iranian pop. From the 1970 s. The albums on which translates as women is the 2nd one she sings on in farsi. It was partly inspired by videos on social media of women dancing to her songs in iran, where public dancing is prohibited. Women brave enough to take risks, much like herself. Thrilled to welcome on law and from tel aviv the artist herself. Thanks for joining us. You say its technically very difficult to make the album which we should understand over dinner online, but emotionally much more difficult. Yes. Same challenge because you know, us, israel and iran are both very complex countries. But i dont like the sentence not moving piece because we do love each other very much and ill iran in israel and really want to say so we have everything we have lots of well each other very, very difficult class for the extent that we cannot speak freely or create an album freely and we did it, you know, very in a way. But there was this, there was a very challenging line that we got lots of bad messages from our media. So that we do are doing something wrong. And we should not do what were doing. And i was really afraid for the lives of the people on iran more. But you get, you go to a lot of great messages on you tube from iranians. But what about in israel because you is singing in farsi, which is the persian language. How did it go down with your fans and you have well established that to go down with your israeli facts . A very good question. First of all, academically, my friend thought i clipped a lot of the steroids. Leslie prerevolution music from iran. And i decided to see, honestly as it was, it was strange for that, but you need a right to my shows and dance when there really are iranian moves. So its very natural and its natural for me, natural or, or for other people hearing the sirens and they love you mention you being in los angeles, you are actually an established actress and youre appearing right now in an apple t. V. Series called playing a must soft spot agent, its not a big role make it is very ironic. Listen. Yeah. And myself, we are both very labor and complex characters. And we always ask this question. And i think many writers night with this legend who are you know, i am for israeli, or a site we can call and meet me and still we are happy then i answer and where you feel later, this is the answer or see it was plain because at the time, i should say that the serious i was, i was recording that, that same feeling were very right there, as thanks so much for being with us.

Now british kenyan artist Michael Ahmed to judge weaves multiple narratives in his paintings, mixing current and historical events with his personal memories. As a child in kenya. Hes now based in london and pop culture. Internet gossip influence his canvases as well. Its a successful combination with some of his works frenching over a 1000000. 00. A man runs off his feet in flames. House car tightens in his arms, his prize. A triumphant look on his face. A fiery creature seems to continue to take his heels. To painting the chicken thief by Michael Armitage. Bursts with energy and color. Is it a street scene or an allegory . I mean, it just is what it is. A good cigar. You start in the chick in these off with these kind of being, being followed by this kind of monkey flavor. These off of this chick whos going to, well, look at the comedy just paintings, show people in turmoil. Sometimes the faces are just splashes of color. Sometimes only a grimace can be made out. Sometimes an individual angry demonstrators, explosive extreme states. Only the animals seem impassive. His compositions hinted at europes old masters plays with art history. The painter was born in nairobi in 1904. His father was british, his mother, a kenyan. He studied art in london, but finds his subject matter in east africa. A whole group is the, is the place that shaped me shaped my imagination. It shapes the sort of stories that im interested in. And i want to tell its also a place thats massively representatives with the history of god and with the narratives and stories that come from somewhere like like you know, his canvases have holes and stitches and then theyre made of tree bark. Blue go and material that he integrates into his narrative. Armitage discovered the bark cloth in 2011, and a tourist market in kenya. It comes from uganda where its often used for ceremonial purposes, such as Funeral Service in the set it could be done, even though it seems like a wound or a hot summer for the work exorcism can be borrowed the color scheme from edwin. Mondays painting, music theory was a way of kind of equates to very different sunday, sunday happening the world as material magic, brutal, convoluted, and sometimes ironic. My kilometer age doesnt shrink from confronting the viewer with cliche of africa, of wilderness, of the unbridled sexuality of folklore.

So heres an alternative to a free drinks book, cold simply bookstore photographs by host, a free drinks that give us a unique insight into a magical world. Loveliest and most interesting book stores. Now theyve been published in a collection every bookstore you enter is the ultimate feeling of books on shelves. But i wanted to show the shops that distinguish themselves from the rest, either through their selection or their concept and concept. In his adopted city of london, friedrich has captured images of speciality bookshops, such as max brothers founded in 853. 00. Its one of the worlds oldest antiquarian bookseller. The most valuable item currently in stock, to pages from a 670 year old manuscript about the travels of explorer, marco polo the asking price, 200000 euros. The shop window of hurling and books is one of the most colorful ones of all. And thats a testament to the shop concept where the books dont appear to be sorted in any particular way. Even though the owner can locate every single book, converse, least some people purposely leave a book behind when they visit the floating bookshop word on the water on londons regent can now, the old barge is a popular motif on instagram. And its also one of hosty friedrichs favorite haunts. His book presents photos of 47 books. And his coauthor tells their stories like the history of the boat candle a bookshop in maastricht in the netherlands, located in a gothic dominican church, dating from the 13th century bookstore in porto. Portugal is said to have inspired j. K. Rowling while writing her harry potter novels. Shops will always exist simply because books are so important, like the air that we breathe without books, there would be no civilisation post. A friedrichs pictures are him to books and also took silence. Great, a number of those bookshops definitely go on to do list.
