the good time when this things was, his object were road to paris. people to take very much into account the way it was acquired. there's a big province research on the take a moment trying to trace back that it's quite difficult if they are acquired illegally or eligible. that this is our duty to put the case to the head of said, saying we should look at this situation and then the parliament will decide on further action to be done in the heart of the museum. a sum of the objects littered from the name by the inviting french statues, doors, and thrones thrown here. this is her quite spectacular. yeah, huge. the manual says before the french army reached the palace, king bay, hans, and set alight. the soldiers rescued the objects inside. essentially though alluded but at the same time saved and away, sir. yeah, that's a quite uncomplicated here. so always because it was looted. so for sure, the same time these object wouldn't be there. the palace was completely destroyed by the fire. romeo feels torn about the objects ending up in the museum. and what up for your, for your is if we informed her nicole young through the newly offended was isab, sheila, also newman for why so law firm met him. don't seem to reporter news to op. oscar sees it there by law boy. imaginative on this volume. see our secretary today. so you pick on place, work. ah, microns bolt promised to send african artifacts home has put other european countries on narratives like france, germany, museums, hold tens of thousands of objects from africa. but unlike in france, there is a lively debate here about the country's colonial record. in downtown belinda activist and academic joshua kweisi wants to show me how traces of germany's colonial past still linger in the city. there is the site where the german chancellor bismark invited all the other european from your powers and the u. s. and the ottoman empire. to come and discuss the carving up of the african continent . the meetings began here in 1884. there were no representatives from the african continent. there was nobody actually, from the territories that were carved up. european nations competed with each other to grab land and resources. and so general colony square and what is today togo, which includes what is today gonna come rule out what will then call germans tough with africa to de la libya. all of these places experienced brutal german crony rule. germany's time as a colonial power was short, really 40 years later, it was forced to hand over its territories to the victors of world war one. but artifacts collected during that time still feel its museums. joshua wants them dealt with in the same way as the art stolen by the nazis. all we demand is that inside germany gained from that part of its history need to be extended to include the dealings with colonial history and looted art of that era. and is simply wrong that these objects are there with, i'm heading to hand to say some sculptures that have become the symbol of looted colonial lot. many african artifacts arrived in the port of hamburg in the 19th century. among them were some benign bronzes. these are sculptures and carvings looted by the british in 1897 after a bloody war and benign city in present day nigeria. quite an incredible building yet for sam opened the 1912. okay. and you have been aim bronzes here as well? yes, we have quite an interesting collection of about 170 pieces. doctor barbara plank in china is a world expert on the benign bronzes. oh, wow. yeah, this is her conservation of this new took down 3 of ours our for inspection. so this is one of these are yes, blacks, very characteristic for the meaning growing. aren't they tell a lot about the history and assume you soon only capture a, the statues on actually or bronze. some are made of iron brass and ivory. so this is, i'm assuming one piece of ivory that's been carved. yes. and it's actually a stuffed up is, has been used in certain ceremonies where with a little ivory stick, he would not comment the intricate sculptures documented cold life for over 500 years hanging on palace walls. and so this hybrid had we date into the 19th century, there is in lay and b, i is the pupil, sir. in late this i ira. i am and you know, iron is a very powerful material. the sheer number and quality of the work is, are exceptional. there might be about 5000 works in most prominent museum all over the walls in these the national campaign for the return as the benign bronzes to nigeria has been gathering pace and it's causing big headaches for germany's newest and most expensive cultural project. the humbled form in berlin was still under construction when we visited it's collection of non european art in artifacts. is one of the richest in the world. in the years, it's taken to build this massive museum. controversy has raged over what to do with its colonial collection. herman, passing a heads one of the foundations which manages the humboldt until very few years ago . or the colonial history of germany was not for the tram and population wasn't really an issue wasn't really a problem. and of course, the situation changed me a much more people from africa living in germany, the immigrants, and so on. so we cannot anymore ignore this. the humboldt forum has the 2nd largest collection of been aim bronzes after the british museum over 500 objects. the museum has been under immense public pressure not to display them. you plan to exhibit some of the benign bronzes i hear how do you do that ethically knowing that that these objects were learned? both these objects are going to be exposed to story behind, to subtracts, will be told, launching and everything. it's important that b f, not a lacuna, an empty space here on, on, on benin or, or leaving benin completely and putting a completely other topic from our collections into scullery. recently the german government said it wants to return a number of bronzes to nigeria, but things should go back, but how many things go back and which things go back and which things can be shown here in the humbled form and in other places. i think this has to be sorted in a dialogue with responsible persons in nigeria. i think this is the important thing which we have to solve. ah, we call it restrictions easy. europe's museums are opening up and was all the bombs are, is on the mode. we track him down in portugal where he's being followed by another meeting with so probably do orders were valuable to got did it with us or did i did not with his live streaming, his every move is vicky to pick it up. he doesn't know a what you call began colonizing parts of africa as early as the 1400s. one of the 1st european countries deter, sorry, muscle lou and his colleagues want to remind people of that history with his 1st target is the museum of ethnology, which holds many african objects. mozilla is looking for objects taken during those early days of portugal. colonization look almost only tough i today. not that come on to me, cuts off. i mean to restock. he finds these pot leaves from angola, but they're not very old, then he can't get it. i'll shoot you loud asi museum buffy appears to laugh because you really are due to p. s. u. so about making some form or the pin number on said he's on the test for credit. but he took a shampoo, fussy mall early on. the button of economists up asking for jimmy the monday of a little that was from f beth allen, and he's also dessler. and so he's on amazon, but we'll see on ski and good luck with those bullshit. then it will is a book. it was all it leaves empty handed, but his local network has another plan. we're going to live there. so he's actually with his next target is the national museum of antique garage. it has an exhibition with 16th century african objects but again, he has no luck. well, you have a good sort of a lead loan with a release. he's growing media profile is working against it. he believes museum staff refused him entry because they recognized him and did the next day he makes one final attempt and oh, the vanilla. he's giving up for nap it's going to measure puzzle ticket that it causes your logo, so police as well from so know if he's eligible to shows a bela we said he wasn't going to resume badging with light loss g 3 years after macro pledge, francis parliament passed the law to return 27 objects to africa, 26 back to the nation of benet. among them these objects littered from romeo's ancestors. i think it's a very story cola moment, shaw french is him because the 1st time by the so many object will be given back. not the hand of something that's the beginning of something new. france has no immediate plans to return other african objects, but says it supports long term cooperation with african countries on returns. if it's a 1st step, it's historical. it's very important. it's a most symbolical thing into. if it's the only step why it's 27 objects, you know it's, it's enough that what i think will need at 10 to 20 years to understand if this was an absolute revolution. or if it was just a speech in 2017 for army or the return of the throne. his ancestors, once sat on and other items is long overdue. so come colors, offer on us to know it. based on mon, he's all up, you know, a horse on to the roof. i think we are fun to have somebody from the bus office and uniform to ah, africa says, i'm sure when i take no point in africa. said hong look, what will your humble fettered persona that you did? i did all the details on the ah diets define who we are, but who are we? if we don't know what we're eating in a disturbing investigation into globalized food fraud, people and power reveals long hidden scandalous practices that have infiltrated international wholesale markets and supermarket chains and asks, what's really on our plates. food in glorious food on, ouch is era. al jazeera sets the stage, this is there is a type of alamo. if you could ever imagine a flow in a bundling of well floss programming, we need that drawback sort of got into and sharon, of fucked things designed to inform, motivate and in spy. why are generalists under attack? because democracy at center you attack the truth tellers see the world from a different perspective on allergies here. new edge occasion is the beacon that lights the future of any society. but for those who live in abandon places. getting an education takes inspiration and determination. what are the head to live in the remote areas? don't have electricity, tv, or computers. to short, fels, show how a love of learning. i was away. a j. select on al jazeera ah al jazeera, with samuel ah 0600 hours gmc here on al jazeera. i'm kim, i'll santa maria with the headlines north korea has conducted another missile test . it's 7th this month. south korea's government says an intermediate range, ballistic missile was fired, leading president min j into personally preside over a meeting of the national security council. also, it appears to be the most powerful missile fired since you, as president joe biden took office a little over a year ago. his move from robert kelly, professor of political science and diplomacy. it was on national university. he told us pin.
