it's rainy season but the quantity of water was unusually high this time dams and rivers were able to hold back the water flooding a number of states across nigeria kerry has been especially hit hard these farmers are trying to transport their cattle to dry land improvising amid lack of infrastructure. not much is left of this bridge it's been washed away like many roads and hundreds of homes the people of cabbie we're actually expecting a really good harvest season but most of the crops especially rise have been destroyed during the past 2 weeks of flooding. about one quarter of nigeria's

worse time. now collecting classic cars is often considered a hobby for wealthy old men but for south african mostly for coal it's one that's just simply not true the 38 year old and her family restored vintage cars in their remote hometown in the eastern cape province our correspondent. paid her a visit. this 947 pontiac is no simple hold with so on as bright and joy she bought the vehicle for less than 200 euros so far she spent about 2 years and around 2000 euros renovating it. thanks. the 38 year old renovates vintage cars which she later than either runs out or sells for a nice price a property in the middle of nowhere on south africa's eastern cape looks like a cross between a scrap yard and to our museum. i don't have so much equipment i knew was inclined to remove that last you know it's. 7 years ago when most people saw a documentary on classic cars that sparked your interest. her husband works for them it is a policy but it's also a gifted car mechanic together they founded the company now they have 3 employees. i used to pray god to give me. a lady like that like that now of course it from. very very proud when i'm sitting here i don't know. yet to come but

point that they do so i go on to say no no just continue. today they're off to look at another potential project and i was driving from their village they travel as you might expect in a classic car. they're looking at a 963 japanese pickup truck the quality is ok everything the it's but i'm. not i don't think i'm not placing the dots on those was around 300 euros. this guy he has more than 50 years old and you can see it's a lot of work needs to be done but most people under house spend hope that if they do a good job they'd be able to resell it for up to 7 hours. 500 euros. but 1st the couple have to get the vehicle ready to be transported. i believe this is. just inside my heart i'm going to play with the old cards i'm going to go through. my mind you. but that is precisely the issue you know. has been to take in the old pick up too hard which means it won't be easy to say goodbye to it when they come to sell it on. and that's why it will leave its day and today will also leave you with pictures of almost celebrating their thanksgiving festival see you next time. i'm not laughing at the germans because sometimes i am but mostly i'm loving with the german think deep

years ago the smartphone app instagram was born since then everything has changed as the world has strive to become more instagram a bill where does it leave us that's coming up on arts and culture and a spaceship on hard times blog areas once grand monument to communism finally gets a facelift. and later on be instinctive a theory a work of finnish artist rita high of a line. welcome to arts and culture since instagram launched its app 10 years ago it's not just people's photos that have improved the real world has actually changed in order to look better in pictures now businesses and even cultural institutions are built around looking good and photos well back when the very 1st instagram was downloaded the app on october 6th 2010 the idea was just to post pictures of whatever was happening that instant looking back it almost seems naive. the 1st instagram post was blurry and not much to look at its instagram co-founder kevin sly strums dog kevin doesn't have to work anymore instagram is the world's largest photo sharing website but 1st instagram with its filters was mostly seen as just a good way to improve pics taken on your phone now there are professionals at work . restaurants know the power of the app. travels snapshots that are just too good to be true thousands of instagram is flocked to the same destination. and museums now stage the kind of exhibitions that work well on the platform bespoke museum has only one purpose as a backdrop for selfies. today instagram has a 1000000000 active users and the app has helped give rise to a new job profile influencer models could be more perfect than ever before instagram queen kylie jenner is the platform's front runner with 197000000 subscribers some have made fortunes using the app even cats and dogs can be superstars this little fellow for instance has some 10000000 followers instagram is the perfect environment for advertising and companies are happy to take advantage of that. to search for the perfect picture by surprise surprise the most successful of the moment and that is. why i am hoping my colleague michael krueger can explain that one mike what's going on here that was a campaign and the aim of that was just to be better than kylie genest last post and they achieve this goal with more than 53000000 likes are there absolutely because that is this prime example. bill for the superficial instagram world is too much of everything looks like the perfect version of a woman bots in a comic if you know what everyone's ok i think she does of the camera just wanted to print out the precious social media trick is to normal people with normal life normally shapes with an aunt in every week or so we know that there is this very superficial side of instagram with models and unattainable body is i am on there actually because a lot of my favorite artists are on their art institutions comedian so it's not all superficial absolutely not there really some very interesting and very extraordinary people on instagram of making fun of this superficial instagram will for example the comedian celeste barbara and she has millions of followers with her parodies and yet you see her of those kind of taking a lot of photos but this is the artist cindy sherman and cindy sherman is doing her best to look as best bet as possible with with photos and photo editing and i know that she's one of the major artists who have become even more famous in the last 10 years the instagram have been out or do you get the impression actually the artists who do well on instagram there are to sort of made in a way that suited to a small screen or to the instagram world absolutely some artists develop their odd for instagram and some people go to exhibitions just to do a selfie and wouldn't go usually to museum we have the artist yeah you're kusama one of the most successful artist in the world right now and she is doing those dream waltz rooms where the people can go in and do their selfies and you wonder if that experience is still about the art or is it more about the vanity of the spectator well you know kusama i have to say i liked her work before there were selfies thank you so. which my good google will have to do this again in 10 years and see if instagram still around this will be very very interesting thanks so much now feaking of things instagram mobile if you go on instagram and you type in hash tag bush live job you'll find about 14000 pictures of what looks like a concrete flying saucer perched on a mountain actually it's a ball garion monument that was meant to show the power of the country's former communist leader it took $6000.00 workers 10 years to build but just a few years after it was completed with the fall of communism the blues legion monument fell into ruin. a futuristic flying saucer a cold war relic in bogota his balcony mountains completed almost 40 years ago as a monument to socialism of the past 30 years it has fallen into total disrepair now it's been signed many bulgarians are still proud of the monument familiar to me personally it's the highest achievement of buggering architecture in general i don't want to see this at 1st sight that's why so many people can look a 1000 people or we come here if i took. the former communist party meeting place was adorned with 50 meter long frescoes depicting idealized scenes of socialist life what remains is in a desperate condition for the past 5 years a foundation has been collecting money to stop the decay work has now begun restoration experts in several countries are involved in the painstaking work. proper to restructure things like fire they've learned because you have so many things that mean so many things but conserve it and there is no one to return it and we are blocking time we are trying to save as much as possible in the present state we are not integrating it's about that we're lifting. the work should preserve a part of the country's history is controversial the monument opened in long serving communist leader title should scott's totalitarian state is clearly a glorification of communist ideology this has to be weighed against the immense international interest in the stunning architecture and the monuments history. that's a kind of story of pollution not only area but all over. other european countries. monuments have been destroyed for to make forget the past but you can't forget the. obvious question. monument good. for a new feature. from a monument that was supposed to last forever now it's ephemeral sculptures out of fabric built just for a photo we're off to europe's far north where artist rita creates works that have been called the emotional archaeology of the ordinary. this forest in finland is a place of mystery solitude and inspiration for photographer rita pipeline and she turns memories interest yuri's images which evoke all the emotions. when i answer to the forest i recall my childhood and the feeling what it felt to be a child in the forest somehow the forest to me and she trying to bring that feeling into these photographs fabrics serve as her paintbrush. she looks for materials that will easily interact or blend in with the natural landscape. it is just my thing i need to follow my instinct and i have been so many places and i know which. 2 different landscapes at her studio in helsinki she begins work on her next project but the basis for each photograph is the same there has to be another level not only that i have placed close to the landscape for it which has to give me some kind of emotion and this emotion can be sadness fear or happiness but there has to be a deeper level in that. region part of a line and images that often include secondhand clothing they awaken her curiosity about the former owner. i have always been interested in the secondhand clothes and every day history of people i find it's fascinating to try to figure out what the history behind the clothes. this photo represents a door to a secret world. and this photo taken in japan reminds her of an ancient samurais in the forest. research have aligned and received both private and public grants from finland to fund her work it's taken her all over europe and this 1st japan and the u.s. . back in the 4 she's planning to reenact a scene from her new series called parallel. the. the ficus rebirth and whatever the few wish you saw once so for me they might be a. coolio me i like the idea of it much every meetings. reach a part of a line and photographs unveil her undying curiosity about other worlds and the imaginary people who visit them. and now here's some very real news from the art scene here and europe the royal opera house in london is hawking a hockney to pay the bills the portrait
