A crane of destruction. Also in the next sixty minutes a new report shows a record numbers of people around the world from hunger and malnutrition yemen is all the countries that people especially children are suffering the most almost a thirty percent of the population that is at risk of starvation. Kind of a very warm welcome to you. Two astronauts forced to make an Emergency Landing just minutes after liftoff are reported to be safe and in good health the pair parachuted down in kazakhstan still on this so use rocket field on the way to the International Space station russia says its suspending manned launches from the Baikonur Cosmodrome and. Investigation. Safe and well the medical equipment the only sign of their ordeal a few hours earlier the two astronauts had been all smiles ready to spend six months aboard the International Space station three two one and initially things look to be going to plan and there is a lift up of these three use images kid the rocket successfully blasting off from its launch pad in kazakstan less than three minutes in which journey it became very obvious there was a problem. When a five seven. The failure of. The astronauts capsule making more nasa cooled a steep descent and nervy and uncomfortable ride back down to earth and some worrying moments in Mission Control until we are told now that the rescue forces are in communication with the nikkei intellect feel chinon and were hearing that theyre in Good Condition those rescue forces having rushed to the sites where the capsule came down for harry gander chain in a primitive short end to their journey to russia another setback in the countrys Space Program. For the latest lets go to our Moscow Bureau where correspondent emily selwyn is standing by and many of russias very proud of the Space Program how bad is the news for the agency and the government. Well im reach of the news for both i would say of course this is a huge blow to the reputation of the Russian Space mission which as you say people here are very proud of and it also raises questions about the state of Russian Space engineering if you if you will russia after all runs the cosmodrome in baikonur its a russian facility and this isnt the first time that a use capsule has malfunctioned there was a malfunction as well at the end of august and you can kind of see the Russian Space agency scrambling to do damage control the head of course most goes in is on his way to the site now and theyve announced that russia will actually be suspending manned Space Missions space launches and till there has been an investigation and of course this has political implications as well after all this is the Space Exploration is one of the few areas in which the u. S. And russia still cooperate and you could see that today that politicians are kind of doing damage control as well the vice Prime Minister but he sort of said today that they wont be concealing anything from the investigation from the u. S. As well as the ceiling in moscow thank you very much for that update. So what does an incident like this mean for a manned space flight lets go in a body from science just so its going to how soon this is an accident like this. His quite serious of course and it is a stark reminder that manned or people that i like to say people space flight is still quite a dangerous affair i mean we like to think that we could all travel to space very soon but it is a dangerous thing we are talking about rockets with huge amounts of fuel on board and its a very tricky operation not for nothing have we not landed on the moon again and not for nothing have we been speaking for many many years about manned missions the do not just go say just advisedly from earth to the International Space station so that weve done quite a few times but it still can go wrong so this is a real stark reminder that Space Exploration is still very dangerous and what are the implications for the people who are currently on the International Space station the i s s. Well there are some implications the american astronaut nick cave was jude to join germanys astronaut alexander gassings now the commander of the i assess. On the on october nineteenth for a space walk an extra vehicular activity an actual find to replace some batteries from some Old Technology only i assess to some new technology to power the solar panels of the International Space station that has been postponed once before and its quite possible the batteries can still hold on for a little while but the this does put a spanner in those works and its a. Bit unsure whether other astronauts on board the i assess could replace kagan that that space walk. Is if you get a bonnie from science desk and a space expert thank you very much for that. Turning of the United States want the most powerful storms ever to hit the mainland has been battering Southern Coast and states hurricane my clerk made landfall in florida on wednesday killing at least two people and leaving widespread damage and flooding pictures taken by the International Space station captured the storm shortly before it hit the northern part of the state known as the Florida Panhandle it was the states fiercest hurricane and more than a century the storm is weakening as it moves inland but neighboring states including georgia and north and South Carolina obvious sing for more destruction. Hurricane michael carved a path of destruction as it crashed ashore near panama city florida. With winds up to two hundred fifty kilometers an hour the storm was the worst to hit the northern panhandle in decades flooding homes and streets. The wind was so strong and with the trees you can hear disavow air retreat quacking in breakin in the weighing just hitting up against a house. You could tell there was something major but again if youve never experienced a hurricane or a major storm trust me this is something that you never want to go through. There bill its very bizarre when you just despair if you like a jet engine. I mean the wind just super super high pitched you could feel it in your ears like the pressure just changing it in and out. The hurricane weakened to a Tropical Storm but it is still dangerous menacing georgia with heavy rains and winds. Fallen trees and power lines are among the hazards left in Hurricane Michaels wake. Hundreds of thousands were ordered to evacuate their homes. For many michael us turned life upside down. Talking about the us ben is with me now and donald trump has been talking in his comments have sent markets in a spin into a real spin investors a panic a wall street had its worst session in a long time last night a trade war and Interest Rate hikes are also the reason that has everyone including the u. S. President donald trump hes called the Federal Reserve crazy for raising right. Market turmoil on wall street followed by a massive slump in asia investors around the world are feeling the heat one issue weighing on their minds whether the u. S. Fed is going to raise Interest Rates again its already done so three times this year its a measure Central Banks take to put the brakes on a robust Economy Markets dont always like it because it makes it more expensive to borrow money. Another person who doesnt like it u. S. President donald trump heres what he had to say about the fed on his way to a campaign rally. Hard to read that. Make it every day so tight i think that is going great. Trumps comments come as the International Monetary fund and the World Bank Hold their annual meeting in indonesia so the mood there has been pretty bleak not only have the institutions lowered their forecast for Global Growth theyve also released a report that says the worlds Financial System is at risk i. M. F. Chief Christine Lagarde even made a veiled reference to trumps remarks by defending Central Banks its clearly. A Necessary Development for those economies that are now showing. Much improved growth. Inflation that is picking up and falling into the range or reaching the threshold and on time and that of extremely low its inevitable that. Central banks make the decisions that. A clash in ideals between the head of the International Monetary fund and the us president warnings that the Global Economy is slowing down and becoming unstable not to mention a continuing trade war between the us and china against this backdrop investor jitters are likely to enjoy. And there are clouds on the horizon for europes leading economies germany slashing its growth forecast for this year and next to one point eight percent economy minister peter i my side so weaker International Trade environment is one reason projected economic expansion for this year now stands at one percent lower than before half a year ago but there was expecting growth of two point three percent this year. So a growth downgrade and folding world stocks as you heard but german investors arent as fazed as others lets bring in comrade blues and show hes got an explanation for us comrade why it falls on european exchanges any bigger. You know investors mostly sold shares during that sell off which had been strong performers so far this Year American stocks in general but in particular american tech stocks so in a way the fact that german shares so far this year have been lagging behind as protect them a little bit from too strong selloff and Something Else thats playing into this you know we are right about to start the Third Quarter earnings season many German Companies have already come out with profit warnings. Due to expected negative effects from this America China trade spat the tariffs etc in america expectations by companies are still much higher a lot of the risk of this trade spat has not been price didnt get so the potential for negative surprises during the next few weeks when American Companies present their earnings more likely. It sounds like youre putting this global slump down to the bursting of a tech bubble basically. You certain that this is not the beginning of the next crisis. I mean you know the markets are navigating in uncharted territory given that you know precedent and monetary policies have been pushing those markets for so many years of course im not certain but if you talk to people here of the trading floors of majority of analysts are convinced that were not facing a huge prolonged selloff because basically despite all the nervousness of this uncertainty the underlying fundamentals are strong theres no reason for a big panic or bulls and dont panic there for us in frankfurt thank you. If by bit china continues to pry open its economy to outsiders b. M. W. Is the first to take a majority stake in its joint venture there letting go of the Steering Wheel is a big thing for the chinese the German Economy is based on three billion euros in factories they. Times are changing in china for the first time a foreign carmaker has been allowed to acquire a majority stake in a joint venture b. M. W. Now holds a seventy five percent stake previously foreign firms werent allowed to own more than fifty percent of the step is supposed to show the world that china is opening up critics say its a promising start but china will also benefit from the arrangement thats why Chinese Premier League made in person with a b m ws Boston Herald cougar on wednesday krueger announced that b. M. W. Would be investing three billion euros in building new factories in china over the next three years that gives china jobs and security in the midst of the trade war with the United States the munich based cameco will also invest heavily in developing electric vehicles in china for a year now theyve been building electric motors there and office six models as fully electric versions the chinese want to profit from this know how the Chinese Government has issued a new Energy Vehicle mandate is china finally opening its economy well that is probably too early to say what we see is an encouraging signal yes its important for of course its a signal also that it will be noticed in the ultimate industry but there are many more sectors and many more areas in the chinese economy that need reform and opening up and well all be seeing the tip of the iceberg as it only happened for b. M. W. Because b. M. W. Z invested so much money there that that shuji investment i mentioned before in factories in china. Well that certainly plays a role you know the opening up also sends a very powerful signal tool washington to the white house because what b. M. W. Will do is relocate production of s. U. V. S from spot on purpose to young that will be something that the trump will notice and that the shows very clearly china can do or something and follow the trade war with america that it is in and has allies in doing so and b. M. W. And much and only probably german com because of play if you grow all of these so this sounds two pronged from the chinese point of view because trump was calling for a level Playing Field but at the same time hes not going to be too happy about that shift of production yes that is right its a two pronged signal in many ways one that yes if the pull on the pressure china reacts i mean the europeans have been negotiating with china for years you know to created by little investment treaty with the idea of opening up for sectors china is moving now so thats an important signal but on the other hand its also clear that it shows the americans that the that the world is bigger than just a bilateral relationship between abridging and washington many other players around and in this multitude of in this mixture of things the world is much more complicated than probably we know what what the white house logic actually assumes you had it from is the five a mile from the institute thank you very much. Im reading thank you very much ben let me now bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the wild a powerful cycling has struck eastern india with winds of up to one hundred fifty kilometers an hour cycle that really has claimed at least two lives and caused widespread Power Outages three hundred thousand people have been evacuated its expected to downgrade to a deep depression by friday. A hybrid bridge has collapsed on the italian island of sardinia during heavy rainfall it had been closed off due to a sinkhole. On the road at the time the countrys infrastructure has been under scrutiny since dozens died in a bridge collapse in genoa in august. And it organization has raised the alarm about the Mental Health of Asylum Seekers detained by australia on the island nation of not a true Doctors Without Borders says some children are in a semi comatose state after years of attention the organization was forced to leave the country last week after their contract was. The number of people suffering from hunger worldwide is rising according to the word hunger index more than one hundred twenty four Million People experiencing hunger thats forty four million more than two years ago its the african continent continent that suffers most the majority of the countries in africa have a serious hunger problem there just eight african countries where hunger and starvation are not an issue Central African states are at the top of the index. And for more on the issue i have with me in the studio dr klaus form gramberg hes a Senior Advisor to the Global Hunger index which is just published a report by the german aid group who is for thank you very much for joining us klaus now for years there has been progress made to reduce the hunger. In the last two years weve seen a dramatic increase of forty four Million People more hungry people in the wild tell us more about the reasons for this i wouldnt call it dramatic but its creeping in and the numbers are rising in the overall numbers so the reason for that is if you say in real estate the reasons location location location for hunger conflict conflict conflict and then comes governance and then comes Climate Change of these of the reasons i mean obviously just basically conflict all the other reasons for bad like policies distribution ghana governance to mall can agencies do more to mend and hunger conflict normally conflicts start with policy. The old saying that. War is the continuation of diplomacy with other means so conflict is really the main reason if you have a conflict farmers can bring in the crops they come transported stranger around so thats the main the main reason but its based in a way of governance good will come back to bad governance in just a moment because one country which is outside of africa where starvation famine is a huge issue is yemen off its twenty eight Million People more than eighty million in game and on the brink of starvation and theres concern that figure could double by the end of the year lets take a closer look at the situation there a warning this report contains images some viewers might find distressing. These other faces of a famine. The scars of war are visible everywhere in yemen and as they will fan the most vulnerable children. In the outside dhaka hospital an aide and everybody in this filled with tiny patients family. Ration. The habitation and communicated with acute what they did they area thats what i did say with these. Clinics here overwhelmed after three years of conflict some five million children are at risk of starvation its the country now is freezing with a new food shortage in terms of the local branch of the symptoms in both the movies. Even the front to the main in who has been proved over the last one of the most to one of. The blockade of the vital pulled city has caused feed prices to skyrocket the World Food Program and numerous n. G. O. S are working to deliver aid to the many people who need it but the situation is precarious. Fighting continues in her data and elsewhere and theres no guarantee that the aid car rentals that are open today will be open tomorrow. Providing assistance to eight Million People every month which is what the World Food Programs target is in a very complex conflict situation is very challenging in that you know you are in the conflict and yemen has been called the worlds forgotten war here that makes its citizens the forgotten people the u. N. Want in may that if conditions dont improve choose thirds of the population could stuff by the end of this year. Thats lost upon graham but a Senior Advisor to the Global Hunger index is still with me as we talked about conflicts we talked about bad governance both apply to yemen but get as an advisor something needs to be done to of logic about it in catastrophe which is threatening them and what can that be. First of all of whom in the tarion eight because if people are starving they have to be to be fed but then again the governance has to take place you cant you cant do many tarion aid for four years without it and so there has to be some organization that takes over and starts again rebuilding. A first hand experience of was involved in the Food Security program for human thats about five or six years ago before the war started yemen was on a good cause but then the war ended everything right so the conflict is that the root of hunger and malnutrition which is what youre saying klaus fun but thank you so much for sharing your insights with us on. If you. The Food Security is not the only problem many countries are also facing water stress for example kenya despite heavy rains in recent months kenya is still struggling with an acute shortage of water Safe Drinking Water and the crisis has forced the government to impose a rationing program in the capital nairobi many residents now have to buy their water at hugely inflated prices. Whether on a truck or a cot the sight of containers being ferried across kenyas capital nairobi has become commonplace thats because the city is experiencing severe water shortage and the government is rationing its supply. Forcing most nairobi residents to depend on ben dyslexic to kister. Counties and again i dont know when supply the water to small restaurants and sometimes to homes in the area and by god were going. To buy as water from the owner of the tap for about ten shillings a container he then sells them for anywhere between twenty and fifty shillings depending on the demand what a shortage is a perennial problem in nairobi and it really depends on where you live some areas get water supply three times a week others are even lucky to get Running Water once a week the problem is said to lie here with undock a need about a two hours drive from the capital it supplies around eighty percent of nairobis Running Water. The government says the drought of two thousand and seventeen has left water levels extremely low justifying the ongoing water rationing program but this is footage taken in august of last year since then kenya has experienced a period of heavy rains. This isnt duck i need last month it looks pretty full but still most of nairobis taps are dry. Another reason given is human interference. Heat you know its never fully actually has never been knew full well even when its raining we are told that. Upstream people are directing water thats opposed to bringing to necker new dam for each to sow has been had over. Even downstream and with the nairobi some cartels have diverted water supply meant to set entire Housing Estates nairobi water and Sewage Company has not responded to our requests for an interview. Its not a small problem especially for low income earners its not a small problem. The government should have proper planning for nairobi no other city has the same number of people so they have to plan so that everyone gets water torture what grenade or. Whatever the reason for the shortage it doesnt look likely to improve soon for as long as it has cysts victor kiss so will continue to push his cart supplying the city with much needed water.

Not eleven and which is home to more than a million Syrian Refugees many live in extreme poverty and refugee children are often forced to work on streets to help their families get by in an exclusive report. Gets two brothers two brothers in beirut the boys sell flowers for a living but they would much rather be at school. It is almost midnight but almost and uses work day is far from over. The brothers from syria sell flowers on the streets of beirut three days per week from dusk till dawn. I wish the way. I work because my parents are sick i need to support them i wake up at five thirty or six in the afternoons i go and buy the flowers i work work work and then i go home. To the. Syrian children working on the streets of beirut has become a common sight seventy percent of Syrian Refugees in lebanon live under the poverty line leaving many parents like almost a new six with no choice but to send their children onto the streets to survive im not. Almost says that our parents a sick but i want to Say Something he should be able to stay at home even if my mother and father are sick they should work because they had us they should be supporting us and not the other way around just because. Despite international. Neither yousif nor his brother go to school on the streets they often experience violence. One time i was six i came to sell the flowers here at the bar they beat me and did not let me sell flowers i said in a corner and cried obama. Facing this kind of abuse for prolonged periods of time causes what is known as toxic stress in children something and geo workers are growing increasingly worried about. Who it was that are lets say a kid spends four to five years on the streets if he stays in lebanon or goes back to syria the pressures he faced on the streets will remain with him he wont be able to do his work properly again its not that we are talking about children instead of being at school they are being lost ive thought of that and this is affecting an entire generation of our that was that he was yet nadine was as part of a team that runs the fund bus an initiative aimed at believe using the children suffering on the streets. For a couple of hours each week they can come inside the bus a safe space away from the gaze of the passers by to do arts and crafts. They set there and helps them release if you give a child a piece of paper cardboard and glue and then they can make something out of it the child gets to feel powerful which he normally does not get to feel yet they might but the bus is by no means a sustainable solution for syrian Street Children in beirut it can fit a maximum of fifteen children at a time. Syrian children account for three out of four children living and working on the streets of lebanon. Resources to help them are overstretched leaving children like you said a moment with no resort to wish for a better future. Is now going to come and get me to study i would go with them maybe they would give me a better life i would learn english french arabica. I would be able to travel and go places. China is facing Fresh International criticism over its policy of detaining ethnic Muslim Leaders this after passing new laws which beijing says are vital for its security the region in western china is home to the because now the region has passed laws so that readers can be sent to what it calls Education Centers authorities claim the centers will tackle extremism through thought transformation the ability of seamless and separatists for radicalizing muslims but critics say the religious cation centers are in fact prison camps and part of a Wider Campaign against the Muslim Minority and their behalf life. For more on this im joined now from our studio in bonn by she tallies from a Chinese Service and that china has been criticised for years over its treatment of legal muslims beijing claims there are radical elements amongst the we are there. I think at least we can say there was some really elements amount of rigorous lets think about the events of what happened in the year two thousand and nine well. Ive been there in many parts of st john and most victims or hunt chinese which is the Majority Group in china and they will also put couple of attacks with wigger back around the grounds so we can say that there will at least some very intimate its really. A man with girl minorities but how huge or how big are they now and with women if its even if it is. And should be could be used to justify very harsh measures local government and the Chinese Government put is john is another question is it just a lot more about what these laws mean for the league doesnt hinge on what does that mean for them for example in their day to day life. I think those in laws and regulations have an immense impact on the later their life just lets just take a look at it the new regulations just now released according to the regulations there are some behaviors could be considered extremism among then for example if one reject to listen or watch the radio t. V. Program from the government or broadcast institution this could be already considered as kind of extremism behavior and you could be put into those kinds and another issue is about if you grow a normal year all you have a user name which of course also be considered extreme isnt behaviors and according to the regulations they have not given a very very clear definition about for example what kind of beer is normal and what kind of name is unusual in other words those measures could be using the abused. Ride. From did obvious Chinese Service thank you very much for that analysis. He was indeed having news coming up ahead one of africas most important thinkers has been awarded a major German Research prize we took a look at camerons philosopher and intellectual ashing. And of a match between the German National Football Team and the netherlands on a saturday did the obvious spoke exclusively to form a germany captain by lack he discusses the struggles facing the german football world after its disappointing was in russia to give us more about this max measure from a sports desk joins me a welcome max so now by luck has been speaking and its missing some really critical things yet he met with michael to silver a few days ago spokeswomen london and it was very critical and its important to note the context here michel block was a star of german football for a very long time at the world cup two thousand and two he led the team to a surprise World Cup Final wasnt able to compete because he was banned cards but then in two thousand and six of the world cup here he was the star man he was the captain and really was the guy who every play and every fan looked to then in two thousand and ten it didnt look quite as rosy he got injured before the world cup then in south africa and basically the captaincy was handed to another player for the plum who kept the captaincy off of the tournament and it was an acrimonious center glittering career and the man in charge was still in charge now and this is what he had to say about him as an outsider i was surprised as well as as many other people that he kept his job. Because he was a long time. Since a long time he works with the team and. You know theres this time where sometimes things doesnt work anymore you know when youre solo with the team i mean. Yeah not impressed michel a man with a lot of experience like i said for germany and he felt that change was needed many fans felt that wasnt really discussed enough and that something might also spoke about this lack of analysis following this disastrous tournament. You must Pay Attention on the results you achieved and it was a huge disappointment and reasons for that you know and you should and eliza do we not like saying before we underlies that you actually made already a decision which was keeping the coach so thats not the you know the real analyze for me to say i agree with that assessment there was this very immediate backing of following the world cup exit of course he had a long Term Contract that they gave him before the tournament a very strange decision as well and i agree many fans and experts agree there wasnt really an inward look quickly enough and then go back and there was this sort of show analysis but isnt the league a bit too tough on him after all in a deal he did when there was a cup under his stewardship in two thousand and fourteen what does he what do you give get wrong according to him yeah i mean i think its interesting you mention obviously not just the world cup win in two thousand and fourteen after that in twenty seven c. Just over a year ago at the Confederations Cup which is the warm up tonans to the world cup that was staged in russia as well in germany won not with Young Players for instance them damn it by who we saw of that and who werent included in the world cup squad a bit of a strange decision considering that germany then was able to in twenty seventeen be so successful with a new god of players he very much trusted the old guard and were talking here about a player and ballack who had lots of success not just for germany but also you know competed in the Champions League final with live accusing one multiple titles with byan and chelsea big clubs in europe and he feels like this decision was the wrong one and as he said football moves very quickly. You know if we did maybe four eighty is something really good. To being two to being world champion. But you have to ask yourself every day in football really quick you know we have. A trend sometimes does this nation of this nation makes huge steps because of a certain reason and we should lose our advantage when we had the years before just because we think were good you know so theres always hard work and it starts really really young. So you think. As you said this history between him and. To what extent can his common species in as settling old school was all it does he really have appointed what hes saying i do think he has a point i do think germany are not necessarily at the forefront of the International Game even though as reigning world champions that was pretty much where they could have been and buck is not alone in his opinion many big players in german football back to opinion notable captains former captains philip all of a con spec invalid collins going to go all spoke out of the world cup and here we can see him enjoying a Charity Match with germany so its not all bad blood hes still proud of his germany career looks back at it fondly but i do think yes we need to qualify his comments with his history with live however i agree with him and i would say a lot of german football fans can see where hes coming from and i think hes looking at this from a former players point of view not from someone who is somewhat you know cost away by. And however today tony cross midfield a very high profile midfielder for germany in the press conference he spoke out against balkan jokes well maybe by luck wants the job for himself well be updating our viewers on that later and of course that you can see much more of this interview on our website both in video form and read up on the article by michael to. Slash sports because i hadnt seen Michelle Obama ages really get to see and hear from him max mayer from us forces thank you very much for being the story to us thank you. But after being criticised for not integrating enough new pairs that there was. A live has scored up a shock a strike a mock for the first time for the Nations League game against the netherlands on saturday heres a look at germanys new face. Welcome to the german National Team marc have to undergo a bizarre if making initiation from his teammates. Now hes ready to go into battle. We all spoke at the start of the week but not about who plays. I dont know if ill play or how long im just happy to be here and hope i can make my first germany appearance im very excited. Is hardly a youngster at twenty seven but potentially offers you so inside knowledge having played for dutch side even being. Police presence at the. I had a really great time in the netherlands. I spent three years there and further developed my football skills it was a super time. If he plays in amsterdam on saturday jim you will hope mark has his shooting boots on. So what happens after you go viral for one teenager live changed forever after he tweeted out these eight words help me please a man needs is. That teenager is Carter Wilkerson better known as nugget kid it all began when he asked the u. S. Fast food chain wendys how many read tweets he would need to get a year of free Chicken Nuggets he didnt reach the target of eighteen million but this tweet it went so fire that he broke the world record for the most read tweets and became an internet sensation. So one year on what is it like to be the nuggets kid this big deal be caught up with him for a new show on facebook or what happened next heres what he told us. Actually the whole chicken egg thing started to blow i had people coming to that ive only talked to a few times and they come up to me in the like its not in a like can you get me some Chicken Nuggets and i was like yeah you know it was cool to be like that like kind of popular kid in school for a little bit you know even though im not normally nuts but it was deputy lot of one. Of us that has a plan to me was part of the team who spoke to him she joins me now from good obvious to his in bonnet lets let how has life changed since you became a viral hit. Im rita and lot and let me remind you all this started as a joke because basically this teenage boy was bored and daydreaming about his favorite food and next thing he knew he was the talk enough not only his town but the whole nation if not the whole world the previous record was held by ellen the generous Famous Academy awards selfie and you probably remember that one but instead of killing her competition ellen helped to fuel the not good kid craze and even invited him to her show this really helped carters hashtag knocks for carter to take off and in may twenty seventeen his tweet officially beat allens oscars selfie going on to earn a three point six million tweets the most in twitter history and of course hes been eating nuggets by the buckets. I mean he didnt win the bet and he did not receive the full year of nuggets but he did receive one thousand dollars worth of gift cards for wendys but compare that to all the free advertisement wendys been getting one estimate puts the number at seven million u. S. Dollars just for this little stunt seven Million Dollars a lot of free advertising budget it sounds like the real winner in this story is wendys well thats true and we also wondered that and we asked carter about this and heres what he said. You know i actually do feel a little bit cheated when i look at cows and dollars because you know like obviously they made a lot of. But. Its not just about the Chicken Nuggets and start to they also made a donation to the Dave Thomas Foundation and i asked him to actually pass the record if they would be able to do that instead so they made one hundred thousand dollar donation. And he has been putting his fame to a good use he actually created a website called knox for katar dot com where he sells t. Shirts to raise money and he already achieved more than five thousand u. S. Dollars just by selling his own t. Shirts and hes donating the money to two causes that are dear to him one is to help orphans find a home and the other cause is raising money for women with Breast Cancer inspired by his mother who was diagnosed with the decease after giving birth to carters little sister so what started as a teenage joe actually ended up helping to make the life of many people a lot better you can watch the full episode of what happened next on the facebook page. The life and wonderful story of us that has a thousand ways and less social media this thank you for. The cameroon born scholar she is one of the most important thinkers on the african continent he recently received one of germanys most prestigious awards for scholars the gedda prize and between the studio. To decide tell us. More about this award first of all and this years winner well this years winner is a human man and hes a Research Professor in history and politics at the university of johannesburg and actually hes widely regarded as the most important public intellectual he writes about africas changing role in the role today and of rethinking modernity and he got as you mentioned recently the prize of the get get a hankel prize its one of germanys honors for Scholarly Research with if he got on the toes enduro which already is not bad and he was actually chosen out of over one hundred thirty nominees from over thirty different quote countries to quote yuri just shortly they say his deliberations on africas place in the global order both controversial and unsettling and have made an enduring mark even far beyond fundamental debates on postcolonialism so hes not just to prefer so history in politics what does he know in full hes actually much more than that and its even if you want to talk about him we need i think five hours not five minutes but. I tried to bring it like some of it obvious a philosopher a writer and political theorist and his work has influenced reports going to fox and. Other areas of humanities but what is interesting that hes widely quoted as postcolonial thinker but he himself actually rejects that label and we were fortunate enough to have an exclusive interview with him lets have a look on what he has to say about the conflict in his home country cameron. Become really influenced and political theorist is one of africas most celebrated intellectuals. Hes perhaps best known for his theories on post colonialism one of his most famous works is critique of black reason its been widely translated and sold all over the world. I think people are inspired by. It partly the fact that he writes with enormous confidence about a very broad range of philosophical questions. And his work is very erudite so he reads very widely is an important focus of the show members work is understanding conflict his own country is on the brink of civil war people in the English Speaking areas of cameroon are fighting back against the dominance of the francophone Central Government in twenty seventeen separatists declared an independent state since then the conflict has become increasingly violent on both sides according to member this could have been avoided. Because due to questions being posed by the agra phone people are legitimate. How can we live together in a stage this is essentially a recent colonial invention. How do we live together freely while respecting our cultural and linguistic differences we sought. Until the end of world war one the cameroon was a German Colony after that the region was split between Great Britain and france in one nine hundred sixty one the country gained independence and the french language has remained dominant the lasting effects of colonialism can be felt across africa. Last year the beginning of the post colonial era doesnt mean that the inequality in africas relationship with the rest of the world has suddenly vanished but one thing is clear we have a responsibility to turn the continent into its own power to turn it into its own center this is something only we can do. As the winner of the get ahead prize. Is being bricky not just his expertise on africa but also for his analysis of conflicts around the world. So i shouldnt member would like to see africa as its own center of power yes definitely and part of it is also to have to do with developing a new relationship actually with the rest of the world so for example in his speech after getting the award he spoke about the shameful plunder of africas Cultural Treasures and about their restitution so that they have to be given back actually as we know one huge amount of african artifacts are in museums around the world and he says that every good restitution policy is in its to really link to the truth becomes the foundation of a new connection and the new relationship so basically what he is saying is all the talk about the restitution that is not a chance are goodness of the European Countries it is an obligation actually because theres a lot of controversy about looted i was told in which was taken by colonial powers from these countries to europe has much been done to return this odd and thats been up much if you think of it because actually only maybe in the last decade were starting to talk about that there is this vernace about this stolen artifacts if you think of it really most part of african artifacts are in museums in europe and london and paris and berlin and brussels and so france are starting to do think to give backs or having a project to give that back but they in germany and there are talks about it but still theres a long way to go actually writing more on your website on this award winner actually remember.
