His musical career. The name is mike a welcome to the program tensions are running high had a 1st then shut elections in ivory coast on saturday after any i decided not to run for controversial at that president ouattara is seeking reelection after the death of his favorite success in july the opposition say they are not having it and are calling for you boycott of the elections and civil disobedience people are longing for peace and stability but many a repeat of history about a decade ago at least 3000 people were killed and now at least 30 people have already died from entire communal violence our correspondents funny fresh our reports from. You can see the tension but you can feel it as ivory coast braces itself for election day abidjan the commercial capital is awash with billboards of the sitting president and his son and what he promised not to run for a 3rd term but then his chosen successor died and he changed his mind. Several dozen people have been killed in protests against the president since august and the opposition parties are calling for a boycott and acts of civil disobedience they say other than what the president is violating the constitution by seeking a 3rd term and they say this election is nothing more than a farce. By usually has been at the forefront of these protests with his friends hes preparing to take to the streets hoping there is still a way to prevent the elections from taking place. And raids and call on the people outside protest peacefully because were in a contrary where we have the right. An underground meeting since the un to what tara protests in august gathering in public has been forbidden they must hide now they say to organize before authorities stop their plans by it has been fighting for human rights and democracy for as long as he can remember he says. We do not want the selection the president has already had 2 terms of office because only permits to he must now girl and a new person most common. Most activists like by have been arrested in the run up to the auctions but he wants to continue. See. If youre scared for the last believe by this believe we know when we leave in the morning we are lucky if we return home in the evening. Shortly after his interview we contrary to his friends tell us hes been arrested the number of have nots is growing rapidly in ivory coast almost half of the population tries to cope below the poverty line yet here in the suburbs of abidjan there is still support for the current president people simply refer to as i do. I like the fact that with him there i speak i dont want another war i only want peace. Was. The u. T. I. Mobilize as one person thanks to the people can drive on these tariff you time up. And most people simply want the election to be over with violence under a cohen an observed the situation from a neutral perspective he says yet he too is concerned to meet me in his office or at home and fear is the problem for development he says hes. Going to press on i dont know how many people will agree to talk to you more and more there is a kind of mark on some every ounce that takes its toll. That it intellectuals journalists people who are free like me are speaking out less and less because they are afraid but unfortunately a democracy cant be built on fear. In democracy. Ive longed for a new start and reconciliation but with the volatility there is now the country might go back to the very beginning of its unresolved problems. But if i saw sense how stop reports and now joins us hello funny so the opposition is calling for boy caught on civil disobedience how cold this play out and what do they hope to achieve what theyre hoping to have the achieve an idea ever since in fact president ouattara said that hes running again for a 3rd term and hand also this august where the opposition so what they want to prevent this election from taking place and thats pretty much what theyre campaigning on with actually participating in the electoral process because as weve also seen in the report they say we want to boycott the election via calling on people on our supporters on people to express acts of civil disobedience not what could that mean acts of civil disobedience could mean youre not going to work youre staying at home but of course it could be also understood as a way of taking to the streets in any form or way and thats exactly in fact here the risk the element of risk that nobody actually really knows all the tension thats already been on the streets including clashes since august including many people injured and several dozen people have been killed in these violent clashes with the Ivorian Security forces nobody really knows how that is going to ask the late food just ahead of the elections tomorrow and pools of the other actions as well. Now the opposition clearly has issues with president ouattara about how much public support does he have out there. This is really difficult to tell because simply there is no statistic just how many people are supporting president ouattara then we look at the electoral numbers when you look at the fact that around 40 percent so far have picked up their Electoral College that is 40 percent of all those people who are actually a little to cast a ballot tomorrow thats not a big number but then again some people dont pick up the calls because its just too complicated its a timely a manner that they do not want to pick it up many others again ive spoken to say they dont care about this election because to them its a farce and again others that we have spoken to here enough to john say they say ok it is a controversial election but we want to make sure that president ouattara stays in the office because at least for the past 10 years there hasnt been any civil war there hasnt been any war any conflict on the scale that they have seen unfold in 200220122 previous civil war say they. Know how im going on about pots about. Possible return to the violence that killed thousands of people that was in 20102011 how likely is that. Unfortunately at this point already various rulebooks have been set up here in ill be johnny to commercial capital and in the Political Capital in the capital of ivory coast right now as were speaking about clashes between Security Forces and people who are supporting the opposition parties people who are trying to defend their own communities they say against the forces of ivory coast and who are saying we want to prevent this election from taking place so unfortunately not a question anymore about how likely violence is going to play out how likely it is that violence takes place it is already happening addy and the question is only just how much this is going to ask the way as this election is going to take place to morrow according to president ouattara it is going to take place tomorrow hopefully things return to calm a funny facade you know be a correspondent find spare time. 19 how seriously affected our way of life but it hasnt been all doom and gloom to Young Musicians across africa or you have shifted to social media a musicians have topped the trend by streaming live concerts young zimbabwean jazz musician.

Thats all thats danger from our. Passion for starch nov 6th on the w. Greetings from berlin the looming lockdown for germany in november is still a hot button topic for public debate particularly with regard to its impact on the cultural scene also coming up. German composer kahn performs one of the last concerts in berlin before the coming on down and celebrates the high point of his career so far. And after nearly a decade of delays the new Berlin Brandenburg International airport is poised to open at the weekend we sent a reporter to see if the architecture was worth the wait. But as i mentioned germanys 2nd coronavirus lawn down coming into effect this monday for the entire month of november is a blow to Creative Industries across the board and this means no theatre concerts movies or museums and many artists and musicians have started speaking out saying they fear for their very survival a louder than most this time around was a german trumpet virtuoso tilled behind who posted an angry video on his Facebook Page an instagram site that instantly went viral planning to tour next month with a brand new album thats fresh out on friday lets see if we can have a quick listen to. And i spoke to tilt earlier on today. And its a pleasure to welcome german trumpet virtuoso to our welcome to the show tell your new album on vacation was just released today congratulations on that front but of course this lockdown puts a bit of a damper on things how are your plans most immediately affected. There actually have been affected because all of the causes you know maybe with the exception of 3 concerts so that is a severe change but for the entire country for the time. Yes obviously do you would you say that you agree with the basic necessity of these lockdown measures given that the alternatives could be even more damaging. Im an artist and everything thats necessary to make sure that everything is secure right now to find out about the virus is something we all support the other question is really you know what are we talking about right now how long will this actually less and also how are we going to survive you know im going to be ok i guess you know but theres so many people right now in all of my environment in the periphery that really really suffer big time and were trying to address this matter. Is so much uncertainty there at the moment now you did go i would on a bit of a limb posting your video citing discrepancies between state aid for big business and those for the cultural Creative Sector were you surprised at the support that you got from the Artistic Community after after your posting. I was surprised yes because you know i have a decent following you know but this is ridiculous as this is because i seem to have. You know gotten a point there you know and i understand right now its important to talk to who titians in the main question really use do politics understand you know how we work were talking about a scene that hasnt been suffering before the crisis and most likely wont answer the crisis you know so were not a huge company you know just trying to degree billions right now right now the government has said that it has provided a 1000000000 euros in support through the 1st lock down and now its making an offer of 75 percent of november earnings can you just tell us quickly why does that fall short for you and what do you feel needs to happen what are your demands. I think anything is welcome right now but i think the basis of no 2 to the game that were facing right now for. November is all the income in november 2019 and also this is not how freelance people work you know many people maybe including me you know i havent made any money you know no grammar 2098 so i think it is a good way to look at it and so its to find out you know what is the 12th you know all of the last year and that is a suggestion and. Its going to be negotiated with the government right now tailored plan are calling for more support for the cultural sector and for artists to mobilize themselves thanks very much for speaking with me and all the best in the coming weeks and months well speak again. Thanks thanks for having me. On now to a concert that should have taken place at the end of march spots 2 to the spring lock down it was pushed to october 29th and that was the time we break for 29 year old con a german with turkish roots embodies a new artist type for the 21st century as a composer and instrumentalist who is active on social media and the master of his own label and his concert on thursday night here in berlin was like balm for the soul of his audience. Just moments before the concert at the berlin philharmonic its a definite high point in the life of the composer pianist producer and label founder. The freedom to improvise when playing music but hes also a perfectionist i want to feel a certain degree of perfectionism as long as you dont overdo it can lead to endless freedom if you take care of certain things ahead of time it makes it that much easier to just let yourself go. In his bearing studio combined electronic music with works from across the centuries for the be beethoven project marking the 250th anniversary of beethovens birth he took his inspiration directly from the great german composer. But he was also a teacher. As a teacher i think he would be on the side of helping Young Musicians and composers to find their own way their own path through music and this is exactly what the beautiful is helping me to do. Using his piano to yack mixes electronic sounds tailored to his specific. So what im doing here is mainly adding the something electronic to the acoustic sound of the piano and where im doing this is i have the life sound coming through the microphones into my system and the effect sound is going out over here. And to my loudspeaker and thats the idea behind it that i can the acoustic and electronic sound in the here in the concert hall and there is no amplification going on in the piano. The concert at the berlin philharmonic new york and his own song will take a musical journey through time the selection of works seems to perfectly captured the prevailing mood its one of the last concerts in germany before all venues are shut down for november. View will just keep making music im always composing and i dont need a concert for that im satisfied we just play in my studio. For the music. Im moving through knowing and hopefully. Will return to the stage before too long. Thank you. And good to see that optimism there well still waiting for the curtain to go up is the brand new Berlin Brandenburg International airport and needless to say since the original opening was postponed way back in the summer of 2012 its become a bit of a running joke that it will at the building will already be out of date by the time it finally opens for business so lets hope that it really is for real this coming weekend because architects surely it looks like it can have at least reasonable staying. This is it the 33000 square meters of glass for sergeant 9000 tons of steel and 160000 cubic meters of concrete that make up the main terminal of the new berlin brandenburg. The building was finished 9 years ago but technical problems including with Safety Systems that delayed the opening architecture critic in nicholas of burnout has come to check the building out. That they wanted to make an airport that fits into the plan for a plateau of the telco region they also wanted to make an airport that is grounded not so dramatic in terms of its effect although it is vast. Its from a broken he forces. Entering terminal one the route is clear long escalators lead to the main of. The check in area is clearly structured steel pillar supports. A chart of the classical model and some of the huge glass fronts of unimpeded views of the surrounding landscape and up into the sky. The right gear in the ninetys and for 20 years was completely dominated by this idea that we have to build huge funky dramatic. Now architecture has gone back to other functional buildings and airport is 1st and foremost a technical device so this means that the airport had for a time become totally outdated in terms of architecture but today seems up to date again not least due to its understated approach to architecture and space to be. Internationally renowned architects meinhardt from gerken and function mark designed the airport in 1998 what do they think of their work a good 20. Years later. Its not so easy to say oh now i would make it round or square or hexagonal its not our intention to make a unique piece something unique in the world. If this do true sibylla best thing would be if it were called classical architecture no matter whether you are thinking of the 19th century and shinku or the 20th century and therefore not. The architects have been in the business for a long time take which were now close is actually one of the early works the architectural icon through praise due to the short distances to the gates and its hexagonal shape the. Answer to that we have is basically always the same but what comes out in relation to the location in relation to the time is in relation to its perception and appearance very different. Back to our architecture critic. Wants his final verdict on the new but old. Well today you would take a completely different materials you would choose a completely different aesthetic to it but it isnt a port that remains true to its own aesthetics and effect. From theory to practice its time for balance new ports to s
